The guy asking if it's FOSS has never contributed to the project, I wouldn't read too much into it. Also, F-Droid uses Cloudflare and other non-FOSS stuff for mirrors, so I doubt they would care too much about their free monitoring not being FOSS.

Amazing how almost anything can be turned into U.S. politics.

Perhaps you are logged in with a "STAT Account"? When I load the link, it prompts me to create one in order to view the article.

Wow, TIL! Thanks - I googled it and you are right. I never knew they were related.

The guy's name being John, but his nickname being "Jack", always confuses me.

What? Every single major power outage on this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_major_power_outages has taken between a day to a week to diagnose. You can read about the list of detailed theories if you click through to any of them, here's an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Sri_Lankan_blackouts

Even your minor power outages take 30 minutes to an hour for your local power company to determine what failed.

Interesting presumption. I know about the 100-page coloring books because I've bought them. Paying $1 per page at the speed they get colored would cause me to go bankrupt. I presume you're fabulously rich, and it doesn't matter.

Cool idea and really nice looking site.

Pricing is quite high - 24 pages maximum for $23.99. There are 100-page coloring books on Amazon for $5.00, and the age group that really would be using this is not going to remember what was on the page a week from the day they did it.

Maybe it can work in the nice of "adult coloring books" - I've seen some social media content where people really go crazy on coloring books, and being able to get nice physical copy to work off could appeal there.

Did you contact Reddit? A similar thing happened to me a few years ago, turns out I had accidentally upvoted my own content from a different account. Admins replied to the e-mail with an explanation, and fixed it quite fast.

I doubt you were banned from 'reddit' with no chance of recourse. More likely that you were banned from a subreddit; site-wide bans are generally clearly explained.

3.7 Claude has gotten markedly worse - if I'm even slightly abrupt, it begins hurling out fix after fix, sometimes regenerating its answer a dozen times.

Probably because most companies aren't able to make profit on the first day, and most employees aren't willing to invest significant capital to get the company to the profitability line?

There are niche examples of 'bootstrapped' companies that are employee/founder owned...

Mine is a snail riding in a car. It's a baffling ad campaign; am I expected to google "Genmoji", or want to buy an iPhone because I can combine emojis? I could combine images on KidPix in 1989...

The forced 5 second wait time is killing me. Why not just let me click between the puzzles? Also feels like a left-to-right orientation would be easier to browse, as opposed to the mobile style stacked cards.

I wonder if the author knows that "slurpees" is misspelled in his bio on the post.

works great now btw, fun game!

Arc browser, get stuck in a loop of "Connecting to server" and "Unable to Join! Connecting to New Server..." when I try to join.

The software isn't fixed.

Do they run a proprietary Apple software, and have NFC and UWB inside them?

It's a cool hack, but a terrible idea for a product. There are more components than the battery that will fail over a 10 year period (both in hardware and in software) - which is why ignoring notifications, and assuming that this product solves your problem is a big issue.

Two failing companies joining forces to fail together, a tale as old as time.

That was before he made tons of horrible angel investments - https://pitchbook.com/profiles/investor/106035-94#exits you can see how many of his portfolio are out of business or near death.

There's a reason why licensed therapists are the ones giving diagnoses of "abuse", etc. The problem with these AIs is that they use adult-sounding language, to be an echo chamber to children - thus appearing like a voice of authority, or someone with more knowledge (including citing media articles the child may not have even been aware of) when in fact they're just parroting the child back.

I don't know if there is actual abuse or not, but the way Character.AI presents themselves in these conversations toes a very slimy grey line, in my opinion. If you go to their site and search "Therapist", you'll find 30+ bots claiming to be Therapists, including "Dirty Therapist" that will give you therapy in a "bad, naughty way."

Hock Tan is very upfront with his strategy when acquiring these companies - he intends to extract the maximum from the top 500 customers, who are reliant on the product, while abandoning anyone below the 'margin line' he's drawn. As to why it happens - VMWare was incredibly bloated, spending less than 50% of their OPEX on R&D (compare to Broadcom's 80%). They had once created a good product, but the business wasn't working.

It's closer to Firebase on Postgres, in my opinion.

Nov 18 (Reuters) - Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab shares rose more than 5% on Monday after Bloomberg News reported that President-elect Donald Trump's transition team was planning to set up federal regulations for autonomous vehicles.

The report comes days after Trump named the automaker's CEO, Elon Musk, as a co-head of the incoming administration's government efficiency department. Trump's team is looking for policy leaders for the transport department to develop a federal regulatory framework, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.

Last month, Musk criticized the state-by-state approval process, required for self-driving vehicles, as "incredibly painful", weeks after unveiling a two-seat "Cybercab" robotaxi without a steering wheel and foot pedals, set to go into production in 2026.

Another large advantage of Fidelity, which is unclear if Double has, is that uninvested money can sit in SPAXX/equivalent and earn competitive growth.

Star Wars? Not worth anything, huge reliance on "machine-generated" imagery. Lord of the Rings? Useless film, uses "machine-generated" imagery. Don't even get me started on anything by Pixar.

None of the people mentioned in the article (except the speculative one) are billionaires.

Yeah, that’s what the SQLite documentation that the OP quoted in their post says.
