The main problem I found with RSS in these days is the lack of access to they. I want access the RSS of NYT, where I find it? I want X blog, where? After the web migrated from RSS to paywalls, I have no option to just choice some news webs/blogs and focus on that.

If you paste https://www.nytimes.com/ into your feed reader it will likely discover https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml automatically. This tends to work very well for most blogs and many sites. I often just assume that there is a feed available and past article URLs into my feed reader, most of the time the feed is automatically discovered.

Back in the day browsers had icons that would light up when a feed was available, however all of the most popular browsers have removed this feature. You can add it back with an extension easily if you are so inclined.

Sure, NYT is an easy one, but if you try some more "expensive" (they really do not enjoy your free read) like Bloomberg the your RSS feed will keep small.

https://www.nytimes.com/rss

With Feedbin (which I use, guess others work similar), pasting the website URL is enough. It’ll scan for feeds and that’s it.

Generally they have a RSS icon along side the Twitter, Facebook, etc icons. It looks like a wi-fi symbol. They're also often linked in the footer.

I agree with you, sites tend to hide the link nowadays, even when it's there, and that's frustrating.

Most modern client manage to discover them anyhow though

We can discuss if we agree/disagree, but something about this post is non-debatable: any change in the way of work is trying to innovate in a 200,000 years "business", we should take this more serious.

Maybe, remote work is a first step? we have been working side by side (at the same place) for a lot of time, and this change is the first one impact one of the most important metric: productivity.

Individual productivity is not a metric to optimize for in an org.

Was not the point, just saying is essential to understand any change on how we work is a change of how we do things for 200,000 years.

There is a lot of examples of this, and in economics has a colloquial term: cobra effect -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perverse_incentive

When Englad still domain India, there was a lot of cobra there, that means a problem for the English people. The solution: pay directly to anyone who brings a dead cobra. The result: people raised cobras to kill them and get paid for that.

Always surprise me the incapability of some countries/governments of think in long term.

I love to read when some tech we are using @ Nursoft.co about 1+ year is "getting" popular, it's feels good.

I think Periscope is the way of Twitter to counteract Meerkat. They have fear to Meerkat make the same that Instagram made with the photos.

Ok, he can be talking seriously. The problem he try to fix is easily fixed with ANY CSS preprocessor, Stylus, Less, Sass...

I think science fiction is not only fantasy plus science, I think, this type of books is an open door to the future, is the type of books that open your mind to think about the future. Also, when you read old science fiction books, you realize you are in the future, this is the future.
