Has it been established if McDonalds profits from the servicing of the machines? If so, the faulty nature could be known and encouraged by McDonalds.

UPDATE: I got in contact with Anurag Goel, the CEO at Render and he was very apologetic and restored my account and explained why it was caught up in some anti-fraud processes. I'll be giving them another shot.

Apple's division in charge for these services is notoriously dysfunctional, multiple Apple employees have warned against joining it on Blind. Dysfunctional orgs produce dysfunctional outputs.

Remember when Washington Post lied about Russians hacking a US power plant to sabre rattle for war? How about when the New York Times lied about WMDs which led to tens of thousands of deaths in Iraq and trillions of dollars wasted? The news

Microservices are essential at any large company. Can you imagine if Facebook was still a PHP monolith? They'd need 5,000,000 instances to run the app.

I just disabled uBlock and browsed Twitter and saw federal government, HP and Apple ads and more. Lowest of the lowest seems like an exaggeration here. Even with a 50% drop in advertiser revenue, Twitter's vastly reduced OpEx should ma

Even with Musk being a divisive person, he's a mastermind when it comes to financial engineering. Tesla nearly collapsed several times and has eviscerated every single short sheller who took a run at it, some taking 9 figure losses. It

All the "THIS time Twitter is in trouble!" posters are nowhere to be found. The Google+ of Twitter clones predictably is already floundering. Network effects are a hell of a thing, not that Threads was even a good product. The alg

The entire premise of your comment is false, since energy retailer margins are sub 5%. Considering the UK government has directly been engaged in numerous schemes which have dramatically increased the wholesale price of energy, a 5% cost sa

I agree, but the number was ~13,000 in the 1970s. It's now in the millions. So homeschooling has increased over 100x, while the number of students in any education in the US has grown by around 10-20%.

People with money homeschool, with much better results. There's even small homeschooling groups that pool resources to hire the best tutors money can buy. Homeschooling is exploding exponentially, doubling from 2012 to 2023 and a large

Lockdowns were a failure, hence why millions of children were irreparably damaged by them socially and academically. The legacy of lockdown proponents is plummeting test scores and massive IQ drops, because children were merely collateral d

Microsoft regularly has cross-tenant security exploits (the worst security exploit imaginable, indicating sloppy engineering). So really you're weighing up security disaster versus terrible UX. I'd rather protect users.

Democrats still claim the 2016 election was illegitimate (including the candidate), as well as the 2000 election. Democrats invented election fraud conspiracies in 2000.

Can you explain how the homeless people who defecate on the streets because of a lack of facilities and shoot up drugs in parks are better off on the West Coast? Drugs are taken and sold openly in San Francisco and LA.

Given IQ statistics throw a pretty big spanner in the works of white supremacists by showing them that Ashkenazi Jews are the top of the average list, it's pretty hard to see how they're racist.

I get 250 on 4G, so it seems like it's far from streets ahead. 4G can do 10x 4K streams at once, while 5G can do 15-20? A solution in search of a usecase. Not to mention 5G is significantly more unstable and patchy. Good luck with late
