absolutely. and now look at the inflation and fed rate of late 70s and 80s. we have not yet won the inflation war and fed has already paused the rate lowering cycle. so if we need to increase the rate higher to bring inflation down to 2%, imagine the % of debt payment as part of revenue; in 70s/early 80s, the fed rate was as high as 15% compared to 4-5% now.

To understand the scale at which we have printed money, analyze the fed balance sheet https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/bst_recenttren...

depends on the mortgage if it is fixed or variable.

have a look at this: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/interest-payments...

it is like borrowing at higher rate than the rate at which are are growing our income.

>The US probably hasn't been this economically dominant since after WWII.

now look at the deficits.

I don't understand why didn't Yahoo fail due to SPF check failure.

one of my greatest learnings in life is to differentiate between facts and opinions- sometimes opinions are presented as facts and vice-versa. if you think about it- the statement "this is false" is a response to an opinion (presented as a fact) but not a fact. there is no way one can objectively define and defend what does "real technical understanding" means. the cloud space is vast with millions of people having varied understanding and thus opinions.

so let's not fight the battle that will never be won. there is no point in convincing pro-cloud people that cloud isn't the right choice and vice-versa. let people share stories where it made sense and where it didn't.

as someone who has lived in cloud security space since 2009 (and was founder of redlock - one of the first CSPMs), in my opinion, there is no doubt that AWS is indeed superiorly designed than most corp. networks- but is that you really need? if you run entire corp and LOB apps on aws but have poor security practices, will it be right decision? what if you have the best security engineers in the world but they are best at Cisco type of security - configuring VLANS and managing endpoints but are not good at detecting someone using IMDSv1 in ec2 exposed to the internet and running a vulnerable (to csrf) app?

when the scope of discussion is as vast as cloud vs on-prem, imo, it is a bad idea to make absolute statements.

just in case; I don't want to make it worse.

done!

valid point, removed.

Whenever time permits, I have a (bad) habit of viewing source code of new website. In this case, I found this on this website: (haven't read the js yet to see what's the true intent but surely a sign of horrible engineering)

edit- seems like remix customizations.

A highly insightful book on Japanese culture on what makes people reluctant to be part of society (getting married, having children etc) is "Shutting Out the Sun: How Japan Created Its Own Lost Generation"

I expressed same concern as this

https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModel3/comments/1b6ru8u/2024_m...

allow me to express how frustrated I am with Model 3 highland, less than 50 miles on the car and I already have a safety issue

not surprising, we didn't evolve living the sedentary life we are living today

that's all good but does it have FSD?

Jokes aside, it is enlightening to see how far we have come. Just 10 years ago, seeing a Tesla in SF bay area would be a topic of conversation. Today, I have two Teslas parked in my garage and yesterday when we went for a NYE party, 80% of the attendees drove Tesla (or Tesla drove them ;)

Is there a way to use Apple's keychain with FF?

Where are you moving off to?

On a somewhat different note, I have been using iCloud custom domain hosting feature. The spam filtering is horrendous. Anyone else has this problem? I am tired of checking the spam folder everyday and I find legitimate emails almost 2-3 days a week. Of course, I click on not-spam but I think Apple's servers just don't learn very well (maybe due to focus on privacy?)

How long did it take you to build this end-to-end? (including landing page)

10-15 mins walk. ~5 mins by motorbike

This reminds me of the kind of hack I came up with, almost 20 years back. I used to work in Bangalore, and now and then, we would have a power outage in the evening that lasts for a few hours. I was single and used to live alone. I did not want to go home from the office and find myself without power. So how do I find out there is power at home? During those days, there were no IOT devices so checking them is that's out of the question. But I did have a landline phone that was powered by electricity and had a replaceable battery as a backup. I used the phone only to connect to the internet. So I just removed the batteries and when the power goes out, my phone wouldn't 't work. So before leaving work, all I had to do was call my landline. If it rings, it means there is power.

Does anyone know why the VB was named so? it had nothing to do with BASIC language. The wiki page says "Visual Basic was derived from BASIC" but I don't recall it being anything remotely close to BASIC. Or am I recollecting things wrongly? It has been 30 years :)

What's the access pattern? how often you write and read? and how much?

This isn't a DocuSign killer yet and won't be for a while until Google get its enterprise story right. DocuSign is deeply integrated with third party workflows in large organizations. That's where the big bucks are and you can build a sticky business.

Why doesn't FB create an API around their model and launch OpenAPI competitor? It is not like they don't have resources, and the learnings (I am referring to actual learning from users' prompts) will improve their models over time.

It means immediately/as-quick-as-possible, but the referring physician needs to user their best judgement before placing such order. For example, if the doctor is suspecting you have renal colic (kidney stone), the lab orders can be marked as stat.

Interestingly, there frontend is making API calls to sentry.io and getting 429 (rate limited) error https://ibb.co/qngYbMx

That just shows just how insane the traffic on chatgpt is, given that even error reporting tool is overwhelmed.

good to see competition in this space, https://www.greynoise.io is an alternative

That's a very common thing and nothing comes out of these lawsuits. Heck, sometimes the CEOs and boards get sued when stock underperforms drastically and it is rare-to-none that any lawsuits gets stockholders any $

Care to share the name of the CU? not that I don't trust you but would to learn (by researching) more about the incident
