dutch3000··on The Next Phase of the Retail Apocalypse: Stores Reborn as E-Commerce Warehouses
true. becoming more and more leery of knock off items on amazon.
dutch3000··on The Next Phase of the Retail Apocalypse: Stores Reborn as E-Commerce Warehouses
Amazon used to always be cheaper. not any more. amazon has realized people shop it for convenience and not mainly for price.
dutch3000··on 'Doomscrolling' breeds anxiety – how to stop the cycle
reality is what a person experiences, not what they read in the news. the nano second, global reach of news has led to a warped reality that is heavily tilted towards doom. something bad that happened half way across the planet is instantly served up on a global scale. the scope of the news is no longer human scale, thus our inability to ever find balance in our perception of reality. put more influence in the immediate reality you personally experience and the balance will return. i haven’t looked at the news in two months and now get my news by asking friends and family whats going on. if something interests me, i will actively seek out more info on the subject/event. good luck.
dutch3000··on GitHub buries 21 TB open-source code in Arctic vault for 1k years
waste of time
dutch3000··on Tired of note-taking apps
i like using siri to add to apple notes, while ideas come to me or something during walks etc. works well with airpods pro.
dutch3000··on Ancient human ancestors carved handaxe from a hippo femur 1.4M years ago: study
this is a complete joke. probably a bone fragment sheered off from the hippo fighting with a saber tooth tiger. these “discoveries” from so long ago are at best theories. maybe a since extinct giant beaver, carnivore rodent species was chewing into the femur to create a notch to secure it to another bone while framing out it’s bone, beaver den.
dutch3000··on New iOS privacy feature may end an era of personalized ads
you mean the ads for bicycles after i just bought one?
dutch3000··on British Airways announces immediate retirement of 747 fleet
at least you can still go upstairs on those red, double decker buses :)
dutch3000··on Mars is, at best, no less risky a place than Earth
species die off. one day humans might. if so, it was a good run. my bet is we won’t get off this rock before we destroy it.
dutch3000··on Tesla worst for reliability in American driver survey
Tesla cars haven’t been around long enough in a quantity to be able to even determine long term reliability. Short term reliability is obviously a joke assessment. My bet is as time carries on Tesla cars will rank low. No reason other than they are a new comer and you learn and improve reliability through real world experience like Honda. I would never buy a Tesla.
dutch3000··on The global fertility rate is falling
or undeveloped countries become developed. - this is clearly an option.
dutch3000··on The global fertility rate is falling
another chicken little article. worthless speculation about the future. who knows what will happen if the population declines. one thing is for certain though. it will be a positive for the environment. at some point the ponzi scheme, infinite growth society must have it’s day of reckoning
dutch3000··on Etcd, or, why modern software makes me sad
i always cringe when the tech megacorps buy out an up and coming start up that shows promise. good for the start up employees as they cash in, but i can’t help but think that overall these actions stiffle future innovation moments that could have been if the start ups matured more on their own.
dutch3000··on Is It Time to Kill the Penny?
besides, there’s a coin shortage. we need more. ;)
dutch3000··on Is It Time to Kill the Penny?
i reject a future driven solely by efficiency. therefore, i support the penny.
dutch3000··on Verizon has turned to Google Cloud’s Contact Center AI to automate phone calls
chat bots, automated phone systems etc have been an utter failure thus far. verizon and att have the most convoluted pricing models. telcos should be nationalized like the airline industry.
dutch3000··on Apple supplier Foxconn to invest $1B in India, sources say
economic localization is the only sustainable way forward
dutch3000··on The growing short case on Facebook and Google
sure. FB and Google are US aligned...
dutch3000··on 32% of U.S. households missed their July housing payments
one for misleading article title
dutch3000··on Ask HN: What's the worst piece of software you use everyday?
i truly hate when a colleague at mentions the entire department in a channel. my only choice is to leave the channel or continually be annoyed by the notifications. in general, i also am disliking the context switching from these type tools.
dutch3000··on The Modern-Day Mind-Killer
dead on. - ultimately a let down
dutch3000··on Apple supplier Foxconn to invest $1B in India, sources say
somehow these global corps need to be held to a unified standard with regatds to environmental and human impact as these vary country by country.
dutch3000··on Bulgaria writes new chapter in long story of demographic decline
why is a declining, human population bad?
dutch3000··on Why Facts Don’t Change Our Minds (2017)
i’ve purposely attempted to fully disconnect from all politically related news and i’ve begun to notice oddities in conversation patterns mostly. the pattern is mainly people injecting political comments in completely nonrelated topics being discussed. the trump references were not educational, yet a sign of the author’s inability to control himself. it’s just a complete turn off for me. people can easily make the connections in the article to today’s reality, it doesn’t need to be explicitly referenced.
dutch3000··on Why Facts Don’t Change Our Minds (2017)
i very much enjoyed the article, but i do prefer apolitical content when possible. unsure why it was necessary to reference trump in the vaccine portion. people (authors included) that can’t control themselves from injecting politics where it doesn’t naturally belong are becoming more and more irritating imo.
dutch3000··on ICBMs Still Matter
The US was clearly not the aggressor in WWII.
dutch3000··on From the gig economy to the creator economy to the participatory economy
uber and airbnb replaced by an open sourced platform with a community driven control structure. also, a peer to peer network would destroy facebook and the like as advertisers would deal directly with the users. ie, users would get paid for their data and get paid to watch adverts if they choose.
dutch3000··on America and China Are Entering the Dark Forest
i think he is using dark forest in the foothills to represent a new and more navigationally complex stage of a cold war, which is ultimately represented by a mountain. ie, the the entire cold war journey is as challenging and dangerous as scaling a mountain for both the countries and the world.
