Trying really hard to do social media without drama here. I'm a father. I cook, write code, brew beer, and play video games if I have the time.
Computers suck, but it's our fault.

On the one hand, I lament the lack of courage and creativity in Hollywood, and am sick of their insistence on resuscitating every old IP under the sun.
On the other hand, I think Jim Carey as George Jetson would be VERY entertaining.

It is true that the short-term focus of these companies is net negative.
The problem isn't how often they have to publicly provide information, it's how much of their management payout comes from bonuses in the form of stock options.
That's why they focus on manipulating short-term share price.

A lot of people are talking about how badly that "debate" went for Jordon Peterson and I think It's important to remember that even if he didn't manage to make a good showing at the debate, he DID manage to get all of us to talk about Jordon Peterson. So it's probably a huge success for him.
