It doesn't have the passion either!

Look at the love poured into this Fall of Civilizations channel. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F...
Where else are you going to get a passionately researched and wonderfully presented 7 hour video of the fall of the Mongol empire? This is like the best college course on the subject, for FREE!

Or where can you find a better presented 'Battle of Midway ---- FROM THE JAPANES Perspective' https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F...

Nowhere, that's where... Or maybe the History channel had things like this, all packaged into a 40 minute show, which is nice, but we all know sometimes there really was 6 minutes of content padded out (Think of Americas Funniest Home Videos and how much time they wasted between clips...) Now we have Daily Dose of Internet, which has a whole AFV episode in like 2 minutes.

TV is dead. Passionate people with lots of creativity have realized the barrier to entry is 100 bucks and they can have a shot at big money through Youtube ads.

MAYBE we'll get VR or something that can also be the next media, but I think Youtube won all media. I use it for songs all day, videos at night.... that's it, folks.

All that said, my mom still loves dancing with the stars and watching the news... so maybe i exaggerate, but youtube is pretty great.

Seriously though... There's going to be 2 types of engineers in the not-so-distant future. Those who embraced AI and integrated it into their workflows, and those looking for a job.

I've seen people drinking raw milk before. My father in-law drank raw goat milk every day in Greece growing up. I think industrial scales could increase the odds of it being tainted, and I personally don't want it, but it's not CrAzY to think raw milk is ok in some situations... Some people eat raw beef, another thing I wouldn't do. I'm proud that he recovered from his addictions - the man had a hugely traumatic start, you know.

Maybe the news I watch is being sanitized... It's possible. Just saying that the policies I hear (even the ones I hear on NPR) don't sound too terrible to me.

By the way, your sig is pretty disrespectful. Charlie was a good man.

Fine. Keep on being a victim, I guess? Teach your children the white man is evil. Let the cycle repeat over and over. Or you can say, "You know, that was 150 years ago and a lot of white people fought and died in the civil war to end it. Maybe we can get along if we stop constantly reminding ourselves of 200 year old injustice.".

You don't see Japanese Americans still salty about being put in internment camps in the 1940's. You don't see Chinese Americans pissed off about being used to build the intercontinental rail road. You don't see Irish Americans complaining about the Irish racism in the early 1900's... But here you are, completely hell bent on keeping it going, not even admitting that in the 1990's we were making real progress. And yeah, for normal white Americans to see black doctors, police officers, engineers and think nothing of it WAS progress...

You guys are so cooked. I've not heard RFK Jr. say anything insane at all but every time you hear him referenced in NPR or any left wing media it's "Vaccine denier Bobby Kennedy bla bla bla"

Look, all he wants to do is space them out and evaluate the effects of taking them all at once. Safety trials are for one vaccine in isolation, not with the 50 others you get at the same time! Jesus H. Christ, we're lost as a society if people can't look a bit deeper (and by a bit deeper I mean actually listening to the man (I can see you fishing for all your stupid democrat media links as 'proof')).. Listen to the man, just once... He's not a madman.

Say what you want but in the 90's we had it solved, or at the very least on the way to being solved. We had a black chief engineer on the Enterprise. The Huxtable family with a doctor as father was watched and loved by all. Seriously, who didn't love Bill Cosby? "Urkel" was what my family called Family Matters and we watched it every Friday. I had a load of black friends, and everybody under 30 was on their way to a new race-free world.

If that is 'swept under the rug' then that is how I want it... You CAN'T keep harping on the demons of the past. They will never go away. Black people say 'WE' were slaves. No, YOU weren't. Your ancestors were slaves. Mine too, probably... or serfs, or what have you... Schools teach in a way that makes it far too personal and old grudges just won't go away.

The FA movement got so much pushback people actually believe being a fat@ss is bad, again. Maybe we'll get all the way back to the 90's and racism will get fixed too, though the democrats might not have a platform anymore. It's critical they keep it alive in hearts and minds.

Before I get marked troll, Morgan Freeman says it best: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F...

Well Xbox is going the way of Zune, Windows CE, Windows mobile and Clippy. The Xbox 360 was peak Xbox. All downhill once they released that horrible 'Xbox One is your new cable box' marketing campaign.

I worked at a startup back in 2008. It went under, but I worked my tail off and learned more there than I did in the last 10 years at my previous place. It's paid dividends to this day. I'm also going to retire soon, well ahead of schedule, because of the hard work I put in. Why don't we just call this 'hard work'? Because that what it is. Hard work pays off, for me at least.

Nah, I bet at those biotechs there are a few guys working their butts off doing 80% of the work. Besides, if it's my project on my dime, I should get to pick who I want. Right? Why hire someone not passionate if you have a choice? I don't own a company but for personal projects, if I don't smell that you're at my level then you're not on my project. Why should I hire someone or even work with someone I don't jive with? It's a free country.

That's absolutely spot on. I'll work my arse off for something I believe in. It might not even be for money. It's got to be the right thing though. If I can find a few other people who align then that's gold right there.

Not a bot. I've built some amazing things by myself simply by putting in the time I'd spend playing World of Warcraft into something real... If you go home and spend 6-11 playing WOW every night you can direct that into something tangible. Some people are wired to get a healthy endorphin rush from building things. Some can't. That is why 10% are successful and 90% aren't. Not everyone can do it. I can.

The reality is that awesome things take gobs of time. 40 hours a week WON'T CUT IT. It just won't. I've made some awesome things that just took waking up at 6AM and working solid til 11PM, for weeks. That is how great things are achieved. Corporate jobs can do 9-5 because they are like cruise ship and are just already slow. But rapid progress requires dedication. As long as the profits are properly shared, I see no reason for poo-pooing this concept. I want to work with fellow rock stars. I don't want a 9-5'er on my team. Not if it's anything for real.

Go to Google maps and head over to India. Select the street view yellow guy and drag it to ANY blue line in India, any one, it doesn't matter. If you see garbage strewn around the scene you drink. You'll be drunk in 10 minutes. Their whole culture doesn't care about littering or pollution. You see this behavior in Indian immigrants as well. There's tons of clips on Youtube of UK Indians dumping their trash in public parks, behind bushes, on the side of the road, they don't care...

Unfixable problems for 100, Alex.

I suppose the internet makes everyone from Philly as much as the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's intro song.
