  • I have a conspiracy theory that most users who are an expert don’t post much about that.

    For example I am an expert on two things most people find obscure; and for all my comments I just avoid talking about them. It’s too hard to wrap up an idea without lots of background information, there are no short posts or comments I can make about it.

    Almost all the highly upvoted stuff are short. Were I to try to make an expert post it would be totally ignored. So why bother for me when I can snarky about things I know nothing about ? More fun !

    I think experts who write short terse pithy comments that hit the mark, at a timely fashion, are rarer than hens teeth






  • They are a mindless organization, not one or a few using logic. Everyone working there can figure out the general issues, on their own, for sure. But it’s an out of control huge organization. Even the top leadership is along for the ride at this point.

    Every department is headed by competent and intelligent people, I assume. But they each only control a small slice of the environment, and even in each division there are many things the middle management cannot control directly. Too big

    It’s not like a car manufacturer, there is an exponential difference in the number of parts to control and the complexity.

    When the sales, and other parts are woven in, I doubt there is a dozen people alive who can explain how all the company structure works together












  • If my own project is anything to go by, or the little I know of all my thousands of sisters and bothers who are also coding making and doing their own small projects .

    I think wondrous new ways of interacting online, sharing and verifying things, is always around the corner. I can’t even image the next three years.

    What we think about news propagation today will seem quaint to all of us later
