Bad ideas in tech that refuse to die ➶

James Mickens:

In this presentation, I explain the signs that a tech idea is bad. The primary indication is that the idea involves technology or is liked by someone who likes technology. After encouraging all venture capitalists to return their equity to Satan (the ultimate source of their power), I will awkwardly admit that the equity should have been cast into a black hole instead of being concentrated in the hands of a single demon lord.

My attitude in life is that, unless you’re directly helping to end war, poverty, and homelessness at the same time, you don’t have the right to be ultra-serious. I think that if scientists reflect on their day-to-day routines, they’ll find a lot of funny moments.
