I don't think that's true. When I was in Montana, where the limit is 80mph on freeways, there were very few people going faster than the limit.

Or cheap cars and no labor, which is the entire goal of driverless taxis

Yes, OVH was the one that had a fire that burned down a data center a few years back.

I'm pretty sure that's what Trump wants if the mineral deal isn't signed. And now the mineral deal seems more and more unlikely.

20k+ nodes and 200k+ allocs. To be fair, Kubernetes cannot support this large of a cluster.

Most of my issues with it aren't related to the scale though. I wasn't involved in the operations of the cluster (though I did hear many "fun" stories from that team), I was just a user of Nomad trying to run a few thousand stateful allocs. Without custom resources and custom controllers, managing stateful services was a pain in the ass. Critical bugs would also often take years to get fixed. I had lots of fun getting paged in the middle of the night because 2 allocs would suddenly decide they now have the same index (https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/10727)

Having worked with a very large Nomad cluster, I cannot disagree more.

For simple use cases, sure, but you could also just use AWS ECS or a similar cloud tool for an even easier experience.

So you want police to deal with 10k+ gun related homicides using only batons and pepper spray?

It's really quite simple. Guns are protected by the constitution so citizens have a fighting chance to overthrow a tyrannical government, porn is not. Whether or not guns are a net positive to society is a different discussion, but the reasoning is clear and simple.

> They of course have the right to refuse that request and decline my money, but in the real world, contractors usually comply with such requests as smoking is known to harm health.

Right, but you're suggesting that they should legally have to comply with this request and can't refuse service.

It's hard to abuse for aircraft - you can't just strap a bunch of lead to a plane because then it won't fly.

We know for sure that there are issues with our current theories. Our two best theories, general relativity and quantum mechanics, are not compatible with each other.

Meh, I work in metrics observability and there's very little support for otel. Most new open source products are still based on Prometheus, which has much better SDK support than otel.

I think it's a mistake for Otel to do its own thing instead of just building on top of Prometheus.

There's also no take backs on Zelle, Venmo, or Cash App.

I've been using reddit for this purpose

meh, it's arguably the most important new technique in espresso making in at least the last 20 years. I think John Weiss deserves some credit for that.

Cars have lights and reflectors

At the start of the pandemic, between March 29 and July 25 2020, everyone claiming unemployment benefits got an extra $600/week on top of their normal payment. Later between December 27 2020, and September 4 2021, everyone was paid an extra $300/week for 9 months. For reference, the maximum unemployment benefit previously was $450/week.

This is all on top of the checks, of which there were 3.

Assuming you claimed unemployment the entire time, you would've gotten paid ~$24k + normal UI.

Roblox is a thing. I got into programming back in 09 cause I wanted to make a Roblox game.

It might increase parasitic drag by a tiny amount, which will reduce fuel efficiency, but these planes have so much thrust that the increase in drag is negligible to the actual operations of the aircraft.

I think there are some small form factor 3060s and 3060 Tis that will fit in this case. If you want to fit a 3080 you're gonna have to look at bigger cases like the NR200 or Meshlicious.

Bezos isn't "paid" his net worth. His compensation was actually very low compared to his net worth, only $1.6 million in stock compensation in 2019 (and $82k cash). His net worth comes from his 10% stake in Amazon that he's pretty much had since he founded the company. So, he isn't paid 266,666 apples, he owns 10% of a giant apple farm that he founded.

But wouldn't he need to sell stock eventually to service the loan payments?

I also have the CV1 and am looking to upgrade. The Index has better tracking (using lighthouse) and a larger FOV than the Quest 2 but much worse resolution. If you want the inside-out tracking and higher resolution of the Quest 2 but don't want to deal with Facebook, check out the HP Reverb G2. It's pricier than the Quest 2 but still much cheaper than the Index.

new Camrys cost 75k in Europe?

People have been saying automation will make a bunch a people unemployed "soon" for how long now? 10 years? Yet we still reached record low unemployment pre-COVID.

Once automation reaches the level that you describe and there's a labor surplus, then we'll easily have enough resources to support UBI. But don't kid yourself, we're far from that point.

VAT and employee income tax are always conveniently ignored in these articles

The meat of the article is essentially saying "big tech got more customers because everyone moved online during the pandemic." Which is fine I guess, if a bit shallow and obvious. The last paragraph though, shows NYT's typical anti-tech bias.

> Big Tech is emerging from the pandemic lean, mean and ready for a U.S. economy expected to roar back to life in 2021. Meanwhile, there are still long lines at food banks. Some American workers who lost their jobs last year may never get them back. Housing advocates are worried that millions of people will be evicted from their homes. And being Big Tech is an invitation for everyone to hate you — but you do have towering piles of money.

They're trying so hard here to link "Big Tech"'s growth with pandemic-induced unemployment and housing crisis. What they say here is true in isolation. Big tech grew. There is unemployment and houses are getting pricier. But there's no evidence, in the article or otherwise, that these are linked whatsoever.
