“The growth of the Internet will slow drastically … By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.” - Paul Krugman

To be fair he has done a lot for economics, but he is far from infallible.

I have a BananaPi M3 and the software support was horrific. Getting a kernel to compile with the hacked drivers and firmware was like black magic.

No eating on public transit.

Most people I know who would be good for this job would never apply without some hint of a salary range.

Nothing worse than wasting everyone’s time and ending up not even close.

The UAC prompts were over the top. To me that was the worst part. They were toned down to a more reasonable level in every version after. But I agree otherwise.

I don’t really understand what search topics have to do with improving the browser. The blog post doesn’t make that clear at all.

It needs to be more than education. For instance, I know a county that subsidizes nursing school. But the nurses are paid a terrible salary and many leave to work in higher paying countries.

I love Old Style beer.

Don’t you know the Dewey decimal system?!?
