FounderBurr··on How will ATSC 3.0 transform TV advertising?
I won’t be having any ‘interactive two way interactions’ with advertisers.

If I wanted to talk to them I would contact them.

Go away.

FounderBurr··on Tax preparers that shared private data with Meta, Google could be fined billions
So there will be millions of man years of jail time directed at the executives ‘responsible’ for giving the go ahead to these deals?

Or will they never miss a chef prepared meal in their glass castles, with no chance of ever being held responsible for the great ‘responsibility’ of being in charge?

FounderBurr··on When a Simple Blue Light Was the Hot New Anaesthetic in Dentistry
How many came back to have more teeth extracted under his magic blue light? None I would venture.

FounderBurr··on Thousands of subreddits pledge to go dark after the Reddit CEO’s recent remarks
People using Reddit essentially laid their eggs in someone else’s nest, on purpose and with intent to get value for zero investment.

Reddit offered in the free market and everyone chose. Those who didn’t choose Reddit are still out there not on Reddit… nothing was taken that wasn’t given by choice in the past.

You can’t moan and complain your way into owning Reddit, or it’s api or web services, etc.

Just take your invaluable content elsewhere.

FounderBurr··on Gods in the machine? The rise of AI may result in new religions

FounderBurr··on Apple blocks Coinbase Wallet
Surely these apps should be treated more like banking applications than buy/sell applications?

This is akin to apple demanding 30% of the funds of every wire transfer initiated within its App Store app for your bank.

Copying is not designing

Advertising in general is just businesses grifting each other with false promises.
FounderBurr··on EVGA terminates Nvidia partnership [video]
EVGA needs Nvidia, Nvidia does not need EVGA.

So this is either business suicide (Doubtful), a publicity stunt or an attempt to get the community to take side in a pricing beef between Nvidia and EVGA.
