Stallman's contributions may have issues, but man his views on Intellectual Property stands on its own legs.

Good read. I wonder how you get the average person to be interested in these issues.

2020 is astonishing in VR. I get the same melancholy I do on a real plane and can fly for hours sightseeing out the window. There is also a real sense of peril.

It's quite the experience. I can't wait for 2024.

Why do you feel melancholy?

I'm not sure that can be applied consistently. Would you say the same about heads of drug cartels or human trafficking rings (not equating these to Kim, as I'm sure you understand)?
nottommo · a year ago
No because they have committed serious violent crimes. Human trafficking is not the same as enabling and profiting from internet piracy.

Probably Kim Dotcom has done wrong, but I don't think he deserves to go to court and or prison in a country he has never resided in.

It's insane to me that CrowdStrike's stock is still up 66% year-over-year.

With all of the angry customers, lots of incoming lawsuits, and the fact that their "protection" is provably more costly than no protection at all now - I can't imagine why investors aren't dumping it like mad.

CrowdStrike makes it easy to pass your security audit. That's where the value is.

IMO one shouldn't rely on motivation to do things.

You don't need to be motivated to do things. You can do things even though they suck. There'll be good days when motivation is there to cheer you on, but that fucker is the ultimate fair weather friend, so there will also be days when it's a slog and motivation isn't even picking up your calls.

It's a complete misconception of human psychology that motivation precedes action. It's the other way around. Act first, become motivated later. That day you wake up full of motivation and fly out of bed and there's eye of the tiger and you're running up and down stairs airboxing in sweatpants, that day isn't ever coming.

I think the notion that one needs motivation to do things comes from the educational space, where there's a lot of talk about motivating students to do this or that, and somehow this has been internalized into a notion that this is how we also operate ourselves, that we somehow need to bribe or intice ourselves to do the things we want to be doing, which when you think about it, doesn't really make sense.

I don't really understand this line of thinking, but maybe we have different definitions of motivation. If you are not using motivation to do things what is the reason you to do things?

For me anything I do is because I am motivated to do it.

Toyota ignoring electric cars will be looked back on the same way
nottommo · 2 years ago
Big doubt, they have obviously been right to focus on hybrids for the current market. What makes you think they will not be able to compete on whatever the next pure EV cars look like?

I wonder if it’s more than just correlation that Facebook was made available to everyone in late 2006.

Modern dating kind of sucks.

Big fan of apple CarPlay installed an aftermarket one in my 2004 Golf and it can make it feel more modern than some 2013 cars.
