I had no idea the idea was so old!

Not Canadian. Real question: is this the impact of having a normal human at the helm?

Following a route through a tunnel (less than a mile long), Google Maps on iOS zooms forward on the route many stops and many miles (5+ miles) in the tunnel. I had assumes Apple Maps was worse, but to my surprise it's quite good and doesn't have this bug.

What choice do they have?

This is not your usual vigilante group. This is a reaction to an overwhelming force of criminal gangs killing citizens and the government being powerless to stop them.

You moved the goalpost. You said they are clean as could be. While temporary, sure, it was a horrific situation for the nearby residents.

> Datacenter is like the cleanest and most ecofriendly business you can imagine.

Tell that to the residents of Memphis.

My guess: technical debt makes fixing it impossible. I can’t believe many Microsoft developers didn’t try to fix it.

Losing the race? Get your political buddies to help “level” the playing field!

> Sorry, if you are unwilling to take 10 minutes to learn how to sign your code, you have no business maintaining software releases millions of people depend on. Full stop.

The crux of the problem is right here.

3rd paragraph

Yep, me, too. My reddit usage went down 10x (maybe more) after Apollo was killed. Probably a good thing, in retrospect.

Thanks, will try!

When I updated my Homepods to 26.5.2 I wasted 4 hours trying to get them back online. It was a complete nightmare. I never really figured out why it was so hard. I just kept getting errors and if I didn't keep trying they would have been as good as bricks.

So, I 100% agree with you.

You can’t leave is hanging like that! What happened?

Yeah, I miss him, too. I think about how he died alone. What a terrible thing.

Around the time of his ascent in comp.lang.lisp is when I stopped reading it. It was just flame wars, and I think he had a good bit of the responsibility.

Seeing his dual personalities was the first time I experienced this. It didn't bode well, that's for sure.

So many people who have big personalities on the internet are like that. My example is Erik Naggum. I spent a lot of time with him and the gulf between his in-person and on-line personas was vast.

Trivia: I took both the pics of him on his wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Naggum

> I think this is because the demand is so extreme for datacenters now

Point to _any_ analysis that says the current building boom is anything but speculation.

xAI is renting out their DC space. I think I read that Google is, too.

DC buildout is purely a gold rush. A play to be the one left standing after all the weaker players die.

IMDB shows this info.

Details please on the AT&T CEO story

People like that are never friends. It’s a relationship of convenience and power exchange. The public riff was because Elon got upset over something and threw a tantrum.

Some think the index deal was in exchange for Elon helping fund the midterm battle. Scott Galloway, for example.

So, giving access via tailscale but using OpenSSH is safe, right?

To what? Serious question. Remember, we’re talking about grandma here.

Namecheap was recently sold to PE. I had been with them for decades and immediately transferred to Cloudflare. Lessor of evils.

Sorry to hear this. I was hopeful of pressure on Putin.

> What I’ve been impressed by: everyone at the PE firm and the people they introduce are very experienced and very smart

Very smart and experienced at extracting value for the partners, even if it means leaving a husk behind.

Also gives off desperation vibes with Google finally doing some innovation on their monopolistic product now that it’s losing market share to AI.

Where's it go after that?

> It would be a huge selling point over the competition which is allegedly being used in terroristic attacks.

Russia isn’t allowed to use Starlink anymore.

I've known pretty far right people that are empathetic. That doesn't matter, given what they support, though. I think you're focusing on the wrong thing.

And given the party Daniel supports, saying he doesn't want a monoculture... it seems like you are being naive. There are lots and lots of right-wing people in the USA that over the years never said far right things... but their actions have shown a different story.

I think you need to judge Daniel on his actions, not his words or your gut.
