Currently using Mapbox in an open-source project for their static map API and I wholeheartedly recommend against it. Everything but the simplest of polylines look jagged since they refuse to switch to POST requests with a json body and instead rely on you fitting in as much detail into URL query parameter length constraints.

Going to take a look at replacing them with PMTiles and my own polyline rendering.

> This trick was to start sending the emails at the same hour the user last visited our website.

> For example, if a user was last on our website at 3:43pm, then now we send the marketing emails to this user at around 3pm.

There’s 0 chance that this has any real effect on the click rate.

Lived in Berkeley for a year after graduation while commuting to South San Francisco and it was nearly impossible to find a street parking spot after getting home from work.

Just an anecdote to cancel out your anecdote.

Is it though? Pretty understandable to be pissed off that all these companies are collecting record profits, doing layoffs, and then immediately buying back stock.

Something is fundamentally broken.

> unless it’s from a business

To further clarify, unless it’s a business that makes routine donations to the police department.

Police started out as private business protection for those who paid, mafia style, and they haven’t changed since then.

Some millimeter sized shrimp completely altered expansion plans for an entire UC campus.

She didn’t “make” anything. Your average employee working at YouTube did.

Is there an official scientific name to the phenomenon of boomers ruining absolutely everything?

How many times did Trump get in front of a camera to answer questions the citizens had about Covid?

Nobody cares that you’re from a military family. It adds absolutely no weight to your requests.

You’re being trolled. Just stop responding to Peyton who obviously knows nothing about how White House communications work.

Kinda hoping this passes just so Reddit is forced to take moderation into their own hands and remove the bunch of cranky internet janitors who ban people or delete posts for no reason.

I expected nothing less from AIs trained on Reddit shitposts.

Populations around the world would force their governments hand If it comes out that China knew they were responsible while blocking every single meaningful investigation into the root cause.

War? Pretty simple. Either they willingly pay reparations if they’re responsible or the world takes it from them.

> The Buffalo plant has over 800 Tesla Autopilot analysts with starting pay of about $19 per hour, Bloomberg wrote. The workers are reportedly "in non-engineering roles that contribute to Tesla's automated-driving development, including by identifying objects in images its vehicles capture and helping its systems recognize them on the road."

Best of luck to them but they’re in for a wake up call if they think they’re in a position of bargaining power for a job that takes maybe a day or two of training to learn.

China wanting to have billions upon billions of citizens means it’s only right for them to own up to the occasions when those billions of people cause billions or trillions worth of economic damages to the entire world.

Like it or not, if it’s Chinas fault then they should be forced to pay reparations. At the very least held accountable and change the circumstances that led to them breeding the virus.

AIs are trained to produce engaging, advertiser-friendly results. Who does the most advertising? Businesses and the corporate world. What type of art style is trending in this corporate setting? Corporate Memphis.

At least that’s just my theory.

No, I don’t think I will.

So many lazy landlords in this thread who don’t provide any benefit whatsoever to society.

Why bother with quality journalism and concrete sources when the average American can’t read a book at the 8th grade level?

> It's just that teen boys tend to have much lower reported rates of mental health issues or self harm.

Boys quickly realized nobody gives a shit.

This article existing is so weird, there’s barely any substance to it. Just the usual stuff your HR manager will tell you about during exit interview.

This is kinda like when ISPs advertise their speeds in megabits per second when the entire world uses megabytes.

People call support asking why their speeds aren’t as advertised and ISPs have the audacity to go “well ackchyually”.

> Teams on computers 1-5 years old and haven't heard about any issues.

My 2019 Intel MacBook would sound like a jet engine taking off when opening IntelliJ. Apple’s M2? Doesn’t even get hot doing a full index and battery lasts 4-5x as long.

The quality of life using an Apple Silicone laptop while traveling is so much better. Frankly, it’s an embarrassment for Intel.

> Beijing maintains that the balloon's entry into US airspace was unintentional and due to "force majeure”

Four times now in the span of a week? Give us a break.

Because it’s a bunch of bullshit and people are falling for the spin. Previous admin did nothing about the balloons, yet all of a sudden it’s a problem and a failure of the current executive branch that calls for impeachment.

It’s tiresome.

> After admin drops the ball in a really obvious way

You’re falling for the spin. Only reason this is even news is because a bunch of GOP politicians want the president impeached while simultaneously ignoring how the previous admin did nothing.

Biden would be praised for actually doing SOMETHING if the GOP wasn’t the party of projection.

Does a spy satellite risk bringing down a passenger aircraft with hundreds of people if they collide over the Great Lakes?

I don’t usually do this but you could have answered your own question with like, a minute of thinking for yourself.

WW3 starts the moment China shoots down a whole satellite.

China invades Taiwan and the entire free world beats it into submission, no contest whatsoever. Straight up steamroll.

That’s why China wants to triple their Nuclear stockpile in less than 10 years. They know they don’t stand a chance otherwise.
