The latest stats I can get are from 2009, but it looks like Microsoft had over 95% of the OS market share in 2009. This was a bad take.

It also demonstrates how disconnected from the average person he was if he almost only saw OSX, when the market was 95%+ Windows.

This article codifies general power structures within organizations: who trumps who when making software decisions in an org and sells that status quo as some sort of useful rule of thumb, when it in fact has no utility at all.

You can have a high IQ while having wrong axioms or bad facts.

Those humans who recalled incorrectly could have a 130 IQ, proving my point above and making your ad hominem reddit speak luddite insult fall flat.

NYC apartment’s lack of square footage is going to make it super inconvenient to store the containers as you await the next delivery and container pickup.

But the cows eat the grass a lot faster than it would be rotting right? So wouldn't the speed of the methane entering the atmosphere be faster?

Nope, I’m reading the actual article and using the author’s definition of innovation: creating technology that makes our lives better as human beings. Not a small group of people making something that makes them a ton of money regardless of it being innovative as per the definition above.

It’s fascinating that you are at the very same time not understanding what he is saying, absolutely illustrating exactly what he is saying.

You’re confusing being good at business/marketing with being innovative.

I think on average you're right. As the project grows, these generators lose some of their initial value and speed.

If I were to use something like this, it'd be for rapid development initially for prototyping purposes. Then I'd transition to something more bespoke as needed.

If you know all your requirements up front, then starting bespoke from the beginning may be the better route.

Stop thinking about work as something you do from 9-5. Start planning your day around a more organic schedule. I work in 1-2 hours spats throughout the day, interspersed with working out, cooking, reading, watching youtube, etc. You need to integrate your work and life, rather than thinking of them as separate to get the most out of working from home.

In fact, people can't accurately identity peoples faces, there have been many convictions of people based on people recognizing faces in a line up, and their recall of said persons face being completely wrong.

So by your own logic alone this technology should be dismantled.

You defer to a fantasy utilitarian argument, where the material interests of the average human right now should be subjugated to possible technological advancement. This makes your moral and ethical compass devoid of any humanity. This is truly a horrifying set of morals you have put forth.
