  • I haven't used Torrents in years, since subscribing to Netflix. But I'm fed up with needing to pay 5+ different subscriptions to get coverage across shows, so perhaps time to think about other options. What are some of the best torrent sites today,?

    • Difference between first and third world countries.

  • History has shown that this will not be the case. I remember watching an ancient black and white TV news reel clip interviewing a factory owner about automation being introduced. He said in future that automation will allow people to work 4 days per week and still allow the company to be profitable and employees happy and well paid. Of course, companies just used such innovations to turbo boost their productivity and therefore profits. Won't be any change this time around.

    • What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?

  • Not this year anyway. Atrocious weather all summer has resulted in 10% of last year's harvest.

  • Beekeeping. It gets expensive very fast and doesn't seem to ease year on year

    • Do you think millennials who grew up with the early Internet and home computers will be as bad with future technology as boomers are with current technology?

  • This is 100% it. Worked in IT 15+ years, started with building desktops, servers, virtual machines, building networks, troubleshooting in-depth kernel issues, tracing TCP/IP chatter, which built a really broad platform for my current job as principal cloud architect. I and peers of my vintage understand how to troubleshoot down to a low level, and we understand the implications, benefits risks and constraints of putting certain cloud technologies together even through the multiple levels of abstraction.

    We've had the benefit of experiencing these technologies grow and develop first hand, we understand how they fit together and where to look when something isn't working. Recent graduates have not had the benefit of that journey, are so used to operating at the top layer of the abstraction that works most of the time, that I find they really struggle to decompose a problem, simplify and troubleshoot one logical component step at a time. Problem solving is a learned skill and multiple layers of abstraction make knowing where to start very difficult if the error message isn't crystal clear.
