"When a young man kills much meat he comes to think of himself as a chief or a big man, and he thinks of the rest of us as his servants or inferiors.

“That means that if cloud gaming takes off, gaming’s carbon footprint could rise, too.”

I’m using this Amazon Halo Fitbit clone and can’t comment on the workout stuff yet, but it has this creepy feature where it listens to every conversation you have and tries to analyze how other people perceive your speech.

I feel like I would do better at job interviews if they were debates. Let me square off with another candidate instead of with the ideal employee.

Remember when SSD drives were so fast they felt like magic, and then platform developers were like "I know, let's make our thing worse to compensate" and now SSD drives are barely acceptable and this dynamic also happened with every other hardware advance in the last 40 years
Abusive behaviour—and men getting away with it
"Incompetence is less damaging than malice. And men — particularly powerful men — use that loophole like corporations use off-shore accounts. The bumbler takes one of our culture's most muscular myths — that men are clueless — and weaponizes it into an alibi."
