Also in greater Boston and had the fortune to do a family trip to Bermuda in that era. One more possibility not mentioned in the article is that Bermuda could have also 'lost its crown' as a popular destination for New Englanders because it was simply promoted less. I don't think the island cluster is as dependent on tourism revenue as maybe it once was in 70s.
Ha, resonates for me. I wonder if a solution is to pitch the APIs (or an MCP) to customers at the same cost as cloud solution and tell them to vibecode away on top of it. I guess that's IaaS.
Just another 80s trekker passing along a hello. I had the same experience as you describe nearing the top of Kala Patthar. Trekked outside of Pokhara too but did not do the circuit. Maybe we passed along the trail though ;)
The comments on early Google circulating value resonate. As a web developer then it was great to add free Google services that enhanced my site/shared revenue (e.g site search, adsense, maps, analytics, etc). It's what I see really lacking in OpenAI's centralized approach. They've extracted all my old site data for their use but have offered no complementary value in return. Which is what this article speaks to in part.
Disagree, in the U.S. the original by Johnny Nash reached number 1 on the Billboard chart while the cover version by Cliff only reached #18. While chart position is not the ultimate determination of "better", I also personally have always liked the Nash version, I didn't even know Cliff did a cover until today.
