aSplash0fDerp··on It’s Not Your Team, It’s You
"Its not a team, if its working with hot magma"...

When everyone is experienced/educated/elevated past that point (crescendo cooling), you have a solid team and/or company (four-leaf unicorn rare).

I immediately thought of "Hail Mary" strategies when reading the article, which keeps the talent/veterns safe and highlights a possible "why" its only an organizational chart arrangement and not a team environment.

If its an org chart arrangement, its definitely not you (but as other comments suggest, you still have to perform/produce/thrive regardless of disfunctions or detached from RL management shuffles)...

aSplash0fDerp··on Write Your Own Virtual Machine
VMs have so much utility, so +1 to the author on the nerd nugget for compartimentalizing the use as a game cartridge.

VMs and VEs (environments) have gotten so portable that IOT and 5G will have to compete with raw storage (TB's) for the best user experience in a post-filtered world.

Possibly OT (or use case), but I've demod LTSP [0] to run multiple environments on a single server (PXE menu) and clustered multiple LTSP servers (bouncing to other LTSP menus by manually adding a server list to boot menu(s)) and treated them as books with chapters (each LTSP being a book).

Customizing each chapter by OS needs and media/content/apps has so many uses (immersive news,learning,entertainment) and paves the way for offnet productivity/entertainment that currently doesn't exist in the market (ala Home Library/Encyclopedia Server).

LTSP was not as PnP as it needs to be for consumer use (and external PCIe form factors were pricey), but anyone writing a VM (or decorating the interior) is already riding the next wave of physical data subscriptions/refills that bypass metered networks (SDCs or SSDs in TB capacities with OS agnostic data) for 8k video, VR and compilation/mixedtape datasets.

Portable VMs are a trend waiting to happen, so anything you can learn about it (inside-out) is not a waste.

aSplash0fDerp··on What killed Quayside, Sidewalk Labs’ ambitious smart city in Toronto?
Sorry I missed this, but am on a first-time trip to a rain forest in America, so my perspective may be temporarily biased (the air is phenomenal and the ASMR soundtrack is better than atmos fwiw).

Instead of "condescending", its probably just a clean canvas imbued with natural growth cycles (hence kindergarten, with nothing in-place to resist).

Saying "We the People have evolved" may be a stretch, but tenure and bad math are basic components of the rot-ops/rot-optics of prior innovations.

aSplash0fDerp··on What killed Quayside, Sidewalk Labs’ ambitious smart city in Toronto?
The best part about new 21st century cities being built from scratch is kindergarten for tenure with primary services.

Resetting tenure for a new century solves 99% of the problems with trying to build on-top of inefficiency (schools, public utilities, local government, etc).

Toronto would have been better off with a sister city, developing a DFW-like economic area for the future instead of accelerating urban rot.

aSplash0fDerp··on Wiki Bankruptcy
Fresh timestamps on the wrong answer defeats the purpose of a wiki.

I`ve personally seen a Fortune 500`s informal wiki/support infrastructure and knowledge consolidation is not as black and white as FIFO or GIGO (it was nonexistent aamaf).

Its rare to find an F500 company that has big data analysts working front-line roles to even get a grasp on a consolidation strategy, but shareholders can dream.

aSplash0fDerp··on Bill Gates calls Microsoft’s TikTok deal a poisoned chalice
/It frankly sounds like he'd be on board with the EARN IT act./

"Infinite Retail Networks Invalidate Technology" can easily be achieved by segregating dot.com to its own "Internet/Network".

"Snowglobe or be snowglobed" is a better analogy than "everybody lives in a glass house except them".

ISH(water) and IRN(oil) don`t mix without constant agitation, so who better to add "business cycle" to archived knowledge and put a price on bits and bytes?

aSplash0fDerp··on The Expansion of the Clean Network to Safeguard America’s Assets
Appreciate the DV`s :)

Some jokes never get old [0].

aSplash0fDerp··on The Expansion of the Clean Network to Safeguard America’s Assets
If they called it "Dim Some Networks", do you think the US could make a billion people laugh at the same time?

The Internet has been the best version of Dim Sum for a hungry mind, so its a shame possesive cultures ruined it for themselves...

aSplash0fDerp··on Grit Has a Negligible Effect on Success Compared to Intelligence
I hope the downvote was for being incomplete.

A fork, spoon and a knife are required tools for most meaningful job/professional successes.

It may even mirror the mind, body and soul tools needed to achieve personal successes. 2 outta 3 sucks. 1 outta 3 is worse..

aSplash0fDerp··on Grit Has a Negligible Effect on Success Compared to Intelligence
Using the term "tools" loosely, fork and spoon comparisons digest better than apples and oranges.

Eating soup with a fork is still a success with enough intelligence.

Pfffft. Spoon-fed geniuses raised with only forks was a cruel joke.

Let me guess... For an encore, they'll do a study that says AI is more successful.

A suckers iterated ever minute on the Internet with a path/information like that.

aSplash0fDerp··on My thoughts in response to the lawsuit against the Internet Archive
Foundations matter, so legally this is a raw emotion debate and only changes the course of the IA (pivot while the forgiveness/permission quote still applies).

Maybe proposing an annual charity drive for "published" material to fill these new "shared resource" vacuums that you`ve uncovered will satisfy the hybrid-capitalism model that you desire.

Making teaching resources HC compatible (with permission windows or indefinitely) may make compromise-it-forward a movement that is uniquely yours.

Even though Nielsen and the music charts have not figured out how to accurately count digital figures, the tax deduction angle looks promising as part of a formal model.

aSplash0fDerp··on I am a model and I know that artificial intelligence will take my job
If you`re one of the parties on the leading edge of the transition to "artificial beauty", the champagne will continue to flow.

Beyond the fad and hype sales cycles of fashion perhaps art will flourish again with all of the excess natural beauty that is still in demand. Its still timeless!

aSplash0fDerp··on Facebook's employees reckon with the social network they've built
If you want to stand out from the crowd... Don`t stand in crowds... BLHO`s are nowhere to be found.... Because they have already left the building.

"Die looted" is not referencing the information quality/concentration, but BLHO types know better.

aSplash0fDerp··on Ask HN: Should a remote employee’s salary be tied to their physical location?
If they avoid calling it a proximity bonus and call it an on-call bonus, legal may have some footing to pass on to HR. Though this is only an issue for existing operations.

If its an 8 hour workday, being able to make hypothetical emergency briefings at the office within 2 hours with no/short notice may be worth a 25% salary hike.

Its the new remote first companies that will exclusively hire for skill and balance the equation once the next wave gains more traction.

aSplash0fDerp··on If Congress doesn’t act, unemployment and a ruined economy may come soon
Well somebody doesn`t appear to be a fan of crisis-mode diplomacy.

Congress could have passed this prior to the deadline and avoided the stench of desperation.

Nah.... Its good theater...

aSplash0fDerp··on Let’s avoid talk of ‘chemical imbalance’: it’s people in distress
The human condition is unique to individuals the world over.

If lifestyle and/or environmental conditions were not enough to derail a healthy mind, the information streams run with psychopath+ variables are sure to catch many who didn`t fall through the cracks (given enough time).

If the imbalance is artificial or synthetic in nature, the corner to turn is now.

The quality of an individuals information diet holds the key for many (IMHO). This also leaves room for medical conditions and other reasonable observations that may cause an imbalance of this type.

aSplash0fDerp··on Could predictive database queries replace machine learning models?
The DB implementation of PA is the ultimate turn-key avenue if its indistinguishable in the markets from ML.

The could just call it artificial light, prepivot the marketing and open up a new field in the mind of the customers if its just a friendly game of spin the data among nerds.

aSplash0fDerp··on How Remote Work Could Destroy Silicon Valley
Revenue per square foot does not directly apply to this (yet), but just like the casino/gambling industries going online, the serendipity still exists for all involved.

Somethings in life are about the "Fantastic User Experience"... Silicon Valley can be digitized in much the same way with all of the best parts intact.

aSplash0fDerp··on Black-Owned Businesses Received Less Than 2% of PPP Loans, White-Owned Got 83%
I think this is the video that piqued my interest on March 28th. The "how-tos" and "what-is-its" spread like wildfire after that day.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=dwuUAGpWtlo

We are 15 days into SIP at this point. I do not need PPP/EIDL, but as a prior SBO, I followed this topic with interest. The quality of info was high and SB's had days and sometimes weeks notice on navigating the process.

I read that CVT went on to make $300k a day on YT (somedays) by providing daily updates on stimulus, PPP, EIDL, etc, so the incentive was there to get the word out.

If race is a factor, you'll find it was being discussed in their circles with the same delivery as Brian on YT. If not.. They should have picked a better accountant.

aSplash0fDerp··on Black-Owned Businesses Received Less Than 2% of PPP Loans, White-Owned Got 83%
We actually have a snapshot on Youtube of personal wealth channels promoting PPP and EIDL during that window.

You can see exactly who was stepping up with quality information and even sort/poll by race if thats your thing.

It was being promoted as free money by some and many offered solid strategies for small businesses to make the 2nd cut and skip the lines.

aSplash0fDerp··on New German law would force ISPs to allow secret service to install trojans
Think storage - in a snowglobe kind of way, networking is just a dynamic storage pool (or tamperable storage in this case).

No-frills data means a lot nowadays.

aSplash0fDerp··on VCs Promised to Help Black Founders – My Experience Shows a Different Reality
Oh not like that (gas-lighting)....

Just saying the training-wheels should come off instead of the gloves.

aSplash0fDerp··on VCs Promised to Help Black Founders – My Experience Shows a Different Reality
Did you mean "status quota"?

For some, equality may appear to be a fat baby banging on a highchair at times (when displeased usually).

If we had an unadulterated version of equality, do you think we would have found our natural stride by 2020 on the issue?

Racial neutral is a tough line to walk, but the talk on the other hand....

aSplash0fDerp··on How should a company handle a racist CEO?
By recognizing pitchfork royalty for what it is (a chaotic mess of revenge, hate and anger without a head).

The twitter thread shows a feast of vitriol that attempts to mock racism. Unfortunately, the dancing over dead bodies metadata makes AI sad :(

Hate breeds hate... and their babies are ugly...

This is the reality of fact checking:

{GC @G3chan · 12h Replying to @JohnRizkallah @pattonoswalt i think a company also called solid8 in UK unaffiliated with him is getting abuse. Can we make sure at least their family business isn't ruined as they have nothing to do with him. They are receiving threats etc though and bad reviews in mistaken identity}

aSplash0fDerp··on Why “I don’t have time” is a lie
If you could go back (asking the last few posts on this link), would you delay the start of a family?

My bet is that the author sets/follows a 21st century trend that delays clicking on the family.exe or ransomware.exe email attachment :).

Knowledge work should get better with age compared to physical labor, so there may be around 2 decades on the table (married at 25 vs 45) that you are reallocating from your retired years into your prime ones, leaving upwards of 50 years to raise a family.

It may even make being a healthy octogenarian a better wind-down experience compared to the current timeline for knowledge workers in place.

The late-bloomer economy is non-existent (speaking from experience), but this could very well change to accomodate the articles narrative.

I haven't had to synchronize my biological clock to anyone yet (code for lucky) and think the Porsche analogy is a little outdated for how much time is really worth.

aSplash0fDerp··on From the gig economy to the creator economy to the participatory economy
That sounds fair.

Analog ad-blockers are a must nowadays.

aSplash0fDerp··on From the gig economy to the creator economy to the participatory economy
Are you in the US?

Nimby is a fickle mistress, though we can see in China as well as the US that property ownership is part of a warped mating ritual/tradition and has distorted "occupant owned" dwelling statistics (just as much as reits have). 3 for me, none for you was a different economic experiment afaic.

Are you listening to "I don't want to be you anymore" by Billie Eilish? The pressure you speak of may have a gender imbalance, but most guys are cool with a smooth operator (being good at what you do) and tend to avoid lip service.

aSplash0fDerp··on From the gig economy to the creator economy to the participatory economy
If the "you're the product" and whore/prostitute reference eluded you in the reply, the 1st post split a few hairs for entertainment purposes, but the message was pretty clear....

Bad haircuts are funny

aSplash0fDerp··on From the gig economy to the creator economy to the participatory economy
Having been raised with agency (being a military brat), its unconscionable to forfeit such an integral part of ones identity/culture and could be seen as an economic tramp stamp without even having to split any hairs.

"You're the product" is the oldest profession in the book and not a good look for many.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agency_(sociology)

Its the antithesis of peer pressure (or vacine if you will), but unless you were raised with it, it may be a foreign characteristic.

aSplash0fDerp··on From the gig economy to the creator economy to the participatory economy
Just to entertain an introverted perspective, flexible exploitation models (gig), narcissistic tendencies (creator) and cult followings (participatory) have "bad haircut" written all over them (someone will sport them though, Just ask Karen).

The added ponzi feel of crypto (hot start, flat finish) would require some pretty keen foresight/vision to counter the fad status returns.

From an extroverted POV, it sounds like paradise and an opportunity to grow with an extended circle (of global friends, peers, mentors,etc) outside of your local scene, though that brochure has been popular for ages now (digitally).

If you can avoid the pitfalls of greed, "social economics" and mental illness podiums (social 1.0), you may very well provide an alternative to the previous economic models.

In the quest to seperate business from pleasure, I think the participatory economy leaves much to be desired, but even WFA is still working on that facet.
