I did read it and whilst there some interesting points of view, some even important, the book largely drones on about the same subjects: nerds should not just work for advertising companies like Google, Meta et al but use their intellect to protect the western civilisation. Where it goes wrong imo is that there is then a chapter about why western civ is superior. Which it is, by western standards, which is an important point missed.

Interesting point of view.

You make a good if obvious point. Of all the peaceful and thinly populated places on earth - why a war zone where energy production get hammered regularly?

Itâ(TM)s sobering how the nuclear power plants keep going in these conditions: everyone has got skin in the game. Oppressed and oppressors alike.

Do you think the war will be over in 2 weeks?

With nuclear power in a war zone.

That’s a serious lack of copy and paste effort!

Unlimited 5G is available at only around â10 per month with some providers, other charge that for about 100gb which boils down to practically unlimited for most. This is Italy. I know itâ(TM)s similar in Netherlands and Sweden.

And by the way, reception is great.

There is this idea, in their head mostly, that because an entrepreneur has been hugely successful once, they will be again. Sometimes that is true due to an abundance of means, sometimes it is true due to talent or lessons learned. But often it is not true as a combination of things including talent, perseverance and luck concurred to make the success happen - not the outstanding qualities of the entrepreneur.

Again.

I recommend digital minimalism where you decide what you want achieve and then decide which apps go with that.

Itâ(TM)s simple you donâ(TM)t need to buy any new phone, just take control of what you have.

I found removing all notifications except for phone call go a long way, removing all social media apps and use a website instead of an app when possible.

Check your mail or messages a few times a day and use fantastic advances like gps navigation or the amazing cameras when needed.

Yes, there are shades of grey, itâ(TM)s does not need to be black or white. Whatever works for you however - or creates a clickety bitey headline.

I tried the Beyond burger today and it was nice. I am vegetarian and have never eaten a meat burger, however. I prefer spicy Bean burgers that taste of stuff I like rather than imitate something I donâ(TM)t miss but obviously itâ(TM)s targeted at new vegans and vegetarians and helps them change habits without gently.

I asked how many they sell and itâ(TM)s the second most popular burger, with at least a quarter of all sales being, which surprised me. This was just outside Rotterdam Central Station in NL.

Thatâ(TM)s just not true if located in a desirable part of town. In the Netherlands this is happening a lot since about 2012. We do have a lot of offices in the city centre - and that happens to be a place people want to be.

The light, plumbing and wiring are things that architects solved a while ago plus the inherent modularity of office space, as mentioned here earlier, makes it possible to repurpose relatively easily.

iCloud now has support for domains, itâ(TM)s a bit fiddly to configure, but nothing a slashdotter canâ(TM)t handle.

Itâ(TM)s simple, solid and really cheap particularly if you already have it. Two euros a month (I think) for family storage and unlimited domains and aliases.

I canâ(TM)t believe this is a real post for two reasons: who is actually printing a lot, and what printers are not supported on M1?

Not that I care either way but the anonymous post looks like itâ(TM)s got an agenda.

both, yes.
