I mean that’s the point right? Preferences have shifted.

What cards are you using that get you 5% cash back on gas?

Using 512gb of ram for a 22gb remote file does feel a bit weird for a benchmark but maybe they couldn’t get a large number of cores without lots of memory?

Fully don't like elon but is it possible you need to touch grass and log off reddit/twitter

I’m sure this group is good but jeez this is a lot of praise for a company whose security record is … uh … less than stellar

This is such a lame comment. He's looking at publicly available geospatial data, not trying to build a bomb.

Yeah the "sensitive geospatial data" is just open data. He also created the geospatial gists before trump was in office so he definitely didn't have access to critical data then https://web.archive.org/web/20250228230950/https://gist.gith...

This is a pretty crazy comment

I think you're missing the heavy sarcasm there

It feels like there should be a user option to allow (default deny) this. Like it doesn’t have to be that the minute you install WhatsApp it gets access to all of your texts or calls. But it sucks to be stuck w iMessage when that’s just locking me into apples ecosystem

Oh boy, having worked w government/elected officials a lot, I can tell you that this is just for sure not true.

Sometimes bad behavior really is just incompetence

I think we can pretty safely say bitcoin was a dead end other than for buying drugs, enabling ransomware payments, or financial speculation.

Show me an average person who has bought something real w bitcoin (who couldn’t have bought it for less complexity/transaction cost using a bank) and I’ll change my mind

60% of the time, it works every time

Isn’t the idea that the money and resources have to come from somewhere?

Raise taxes or debt for the monetary side. Divert workers and other resources on the implementation side. Both of those might be better used by the private sector

Yeah but the website literally says “zero code changes”. It’s the long tail that’s dangerous since most people don’t understand it as well as a the core functions

Is a bank deposit box not insured against those things? I've never really thought about it but always assumed they would be

I’m not disagreeing with you that it’s predatory but I think the point is that by not charging up front, you get more people in the door. And even if each of those people spend less than the upfront would have been, there are so many more of them that you make money. That basic philosophy isn’t bad, it’s what most tech platforms are based on

My guess is Californias percentage is on the left and Texas is right. So california went from 20.5ish to 16ish

lol I initially read this as remote people workers and was super confused

Somebody came to a conference that my company hosts and complained it was self promotion. Like yeah no shit. Feels like kinda the same thing here

There’s no way fb uses gcp

lol excel isn't the only data analysis tool

But isn't that after wages went up by like 50%? Sure in the past 6 months we're down but if you look at the past 5 years we're up a ton

The problem is that the llms are better at search (for an open ended question) than Google is and that’s where most of googles revenue comes from. So it actually gives a new company like openai the opportunity to change consumers destinations from google

Yeah it's truly incredible w scripts

Yeah but there’s all sorts of weird business dynamics w china. For the most part, government exists to enforce business/personal rights in the us versus the reversed in china. Like I’d say the single regulatory framework is actually a bad thing there

Yeah thanks for your transparency but how do you go about fixing these problems? Like it's great to acknowledge them but the "Why NodeJS is dead" article was in the suggested sidebar for me yesterday

Can’t hurt to get a psychiatrist. FWIW this sounds like textbook depression to me. OP has a great job at 23 and sounds 100% focused on failing classes in college

Picasso didn’t paint the Mona Lisa… did you fact check w chatgpt

Apple Pay (like Apple wallet) doesn’t charge anything inherently. If you’re buying a subscription (like to an app) through the App Store, with or without Apple Pay, they charge 30%. These are two different things.
