credo , 1 month ago to Technology in 25 years ago, Napster changed how we listen to music forever

I’m still sullen about napster. It didn’t change anything about music sharing- other than to take music sharing into the spotlight. I.e., they got greedy and gained the attention of the media.

Uh. This is not a good picture my journalism dudes. It’s strap-on; what kind of tasks are we talking about here?

credo , 1 month ago to Technology in Google is losing it

Just because you click on it that doesn’t make it accurate. More importantly, that text isn’t “clickable”, so they can’t be measuring raw engagement either.

credo , 1 month ago to Technology in Google is losing it

It’s not A/B testing if they aren’t getting feedback.

credo , 1 month ago to Technology in Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations

LMG says they didn’t do a thing

Yes, please show me this language.

And I never said I was waiting for proof, thanks. Feel free to read the whole thing.

credo , 1 month ago to Technology in Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations

I really key in on the language of these types of releases. First is,

To ensure a fair investigation, LMG did not comment or publicly release any data and asked our team members to do the same.

So.. keeping yo mouth shut is not ensuring a “fair investigation.” It’s protecting yourself.

Next, phrases like,

Claims of bullying and harassment were not substantiated.

Is not proof of anything- other than there was no proof. That’s why you hire a third party to speak for you. Instead of you saying, “I didn’t do it,” (which of course almost anyone would - true or not) the “independent” investigator can say, “I didn’t find any proof.”

The strongest language here,

Allegations that sexual harassment were ignored or not addressed were false.

..is interesting. I guess it depends on what they mean by “addressed.” If I slapped a colleague on the back and said, “That was hilarious!”, I hardly ignored it. You could even say I addressed it.

I’m not saying I believe I’ve way or the other. All I’m pointing out is this means basically nothing.

credo , 1 month ago to Technology in Online Content Is Disappearing

I’ve heard the early Internet age referred to as the future dark ages. When all the work, information and content is digitized, it’s prone to being lost to history forever.

credo , 1 month ago to Technology in Orange Charger thinks a $750 outlet will solve EV charging for apartment dwellers

This doesn’t sound like a subscription, so much as consumption based billing. They make their money back by cornering the building-level market (perhaps landlords can put in competing chargers?) and charging a higher charging fee… okay that’s confusing. Charging a higher “fillup” fee.

Wrong button, oops. Lol #420

Starting an international corporate race to carve up the moon seems like a good choice.

credo , 1 month ago to No Stupid Questions in Why is currency so essential?

We can think of it as a universal language for trading. It doesn’t matter what item you eventually want, you can trade money to get it.

credo , 1 month ago to Technology in Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs

We subsidize exports? Show me.

credo , 1 month ago to Technology in Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs

To that end, this means we would need to lower standards, use some forced labor, and increase taxes to increase subsidies in order to compete.

Republicans would shoot down the subsidies.

credo , 1 month ago to Technology in Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs

Then China shouldn’t subsidize its manufacturers’ exports while increasing the burden for foreign companies to compete internally. If anyone thinks China cornering the global EV market is a good long term plan, they are naive.

The blog is obviously targeted towards advertisers. The future looks amazing and full of possibilities. Just think about how your 8 hours of sleep alone could be turned into product placement opportunities for nestle.
