Would be interesting to see that chart adjusted for inflation.
- Comment on When you say "thank you kindly", the adverb is describing how you are thanking them, so you're basically saying "I'm being kind" 14 hours ago:
The adverb is on the verb in this sentence, not the noun. You are saying I thank you, and how I thank you is kindly (gratefully or with grace). As opposed to thanking someone snidely or backhandedly.
- Comment on Profit slide at Target hints at meager holiday season for the retailer 1 day ago:
And yet they still haven’t changed their leadership or their policies. Guess they will continue to slide into oblivion.

You’re gonna want that higher pay when you’re spending your days unraveling spaghetti code written by AI.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 1 week ago:
Quite a claim from the guy who labeled things “Full self driving” and “Autopilot”. 🙄

In the photo it looks like the lines are routed through the mounting poles and then buried. Hopefully that will prevent any munching.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO says the company doesn't have enough electricity to install all the AI GPUs in its inventory - 'you may actually have a bunch of chips sitting in inventory that I can’t plug in' 2 weeks ago:
To make more electricity, they should try burning some of the hot air that comes out of Nadella’s mouth.
- Comment on Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats 2 weeks ago:
The website you linked to says that it’s not a class action suit, but a “mass arbitration” which I’ve never heard of. It also claims that Google has a “no class action” clause in its warranty/user agreement. I don’t see how that’s legal, but whatever. I also wonder if that clause was there at the time of purchase for gen 1 and gen 2 thermostats.
- Comment on Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats 2 weeks ago:
While an interesting idea, that project wants what amounts to the cost of a new thermostat in exchange for a kickstarter project. Might as well just buy a new thermostat.
- Comment on Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats 2 weeks ago:
Surprisingly, these still work as dumb thermostats after the cutoff date.
- Comment on Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats 2 weeks ago:
Was hoping something like Homebridge could be used to still control these, but no luck. After the cutoff they can be used manually like a traditional thermostat, which is a surprise coming from Google. I still fear they are going to generate a bunch of ewaste from people replacing them.

- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 3 weeks ago:
I think it’s more likely just Tim Cook. The buck stops with him. Someone needs to say no to some of this stuff (liquid glass, yearly release schedules, etc.) and that someone should have been him.

They did. Someone at the top has been ruining that experience lately.
- Comment on King Tutankhamun's Tomb Is at Risk of Collapse, Study Finds 3 weeks ago:
I’m sure there are ways to shore it up, if someone bothers to pay for it. Maybe they can get on the horn to Timothy Mellon. I hear he’s giving away money.

- Comment on $96.5 million for Nadella | Microsoft's CEO receives record pay in a year that saw 15,000+ layoffs 4 weeks ago:
Android and iOS have made companies fortunes. But keep telling yourself Windows Phone needed to die.
Same with game consoles. Switch I & II have made Nintendo a ton of money.
These Microsoft products would have been profitable in the hands of a company that actually cared about them.
- Comment on $96.5 million for Nadella | Microsoft's CEO receives record pay in a year that saw 15,000+ layoffs 4 weeks ago:
All the more reason to spin off their consumer products divisions rather than killing them.
- Comment on $96.5 million for Nadella | Microsoft's CEO receives record pay in a year that saw 15,000+ layoffs 4 weeks ago:
Microsoft would be better up split into multiple companies. They’re killing windows with lack of innovation. They’re also putting Xbox slowly out of business. They have no phone on the market and they barely have a tablet with the surface line. They also stopped making peripherals.
I think the current CEO is just trying to make Microsoft into the next lumbering IBM.

How many of those rules have been loosened or undone since the last time this happened? I seem to recall Congress trying to repeal Dodd-Frank, and traditional banks being allowed to merge with investment firms. We never seem to learn.
