Bundled with a revived Streets of SimCity please and thank you

Right but once your traditional IRA is fully rolled over to a 401k, you can take full advantage of backdoor Roth IRA contributions regardless of income.

> Most programming jobs are remote. What's the alternative, exactly?

Maybe in 2021...

Frequency therapies and inflammation reduction activities for ... curing HIV?

Which treatments specifically are you referring to?

Anyone else notice that the things certain people claim to be "not allowed to say" are somehow wedged into every single thread, post, or forum on the internet? If you were actually forbidden from saying it, then I wouldn't have to read it 20 times a day.

I know at least one of those only uses Oracle for internal/HR "cloud" purposes, while their main customer-facing business is on AWS. Not sure about the others, but when I think of a business using "Oracle cloud" I don't interpret it as just their marketing/HR.

They're spending $10 million USD per engineer on LLMs?

The "and" is very important here. Places like Seattle now mandate servers get a real wage. It inexplicably hasn't changed tip culture at all, so now they get regular wages and still complain when someone doesn't tip 20%+ for a takeout order.

> Garbage

It's not just garbage — it's AI slop garbage.

> "you shouldn't be writing code by hand"

That sounds unbelievably moronic as a firm mandate. Are companies actually mandating this?

Friend of a friend went to an ICP show at Saltair... Dressed like a traditional clown (think Bozo the Clown)

Or an unrelated half-naked thirst trap beach selfie. You know, to "drive engagement."

I just went to check-- I have 6 first-degree connections with the phrase "thought leader" in their title. This out of about 800 connections, all of which are people I've met in-person. Some real-world examples:

* "Independent Thought Leader and Consultant"

* "Strategy, Innovation, and Distruptive Technology thought leader in the Hyperscale/Cloud business"

* "AI Thought Leader + Founder at <company name>.ai"

* "C++ expert and agile process thought leader"

When expanded to 2nd degree connections, I get more than 10 pages of results when searching for the phrase "Thought Leader" (in quotes, so it's not a fuzzy search phrase).

If done properly, autocomplete w/ Typescript and string literals should work just fine.

> used a bot to replace all posts with random sentences

not so pertinent to your main point, but I've got to say: This is absolutely ruining Reddit, and I sure hope they prevent this from happening sometime soon.

Nothing worse than finally finding the answer some some esoteric question, seeing a thread of "wow, that works perfectly, you're a Godsend!", and then getting to the answer itself and finding something like "Urban walrus clover ocean speaker carpet [this comment has been removed by SomeTool]".

How about when compared to income potential?

That map makes it look extremely crowded. Actual relative satellite size is many magnitudes smaller than each of those 1-pixel representations.

> I was lucky enough to receive a weeklong $50k per head AI training

wow! That sounds like an unbelievable grift. Who were they such that anyone could possibly think that's a worthwhile investment?

I see one single comment from a person who self-identifies themselves as a 50yo male. Nothing in his comment could be reasonably interpreted as "bragging."

Where are you seeing "a ton of old guys bragging"?

Many people haven't, but thanks to the wide world of cross-site tracking, frequent shopping cards etc, your purchases can still be attributed to ads you've seen (and even billboards!)

The only ones making the HPV vaccine "political" are the morons who think it shouldn't be administered because it increases promiscuity, or the ones who mistakenly think vaccines cause more harm than they help.

Completely disagree, given algorithms artificially boost content. The comparison to being an "online town square" is inapt, and I think a lot of people pushing that particular narrative actually know it too.

A good reminder in the article about something a lot of folks here tend to forget:

> Finally, contrary to what many in Congress have been saying, social media platforms and other internet intermediaries have their own First Amendment rights to decide how they moderate users’ speech. They are not “state actors” and do not have an obligation under the First Amendment to allow all user speech on their platforms.

Private platforms do not have an obligation, legal, moral, or otherwise, to host or boost your harmful opinions and mis/disinformation campaigns.

You're asking how breaking the law is cheating? If not, can you clarify your question?

Despite advertising themselves as such, the party hasn't been for actual small government at least during my entire lifetime (40+ years).

Can you elaborate on what you mean?

I mean... their stock is up more than 1,000% since 2014. Anyone who has been there for a few years should have multiple refreshers that have grown significantly in value.

They literally don't. Data is their moat; selling it would be counter to their financial success.

You think not being allowed to write any code manually is the norm?
