Startups are likely to fail, big tech is likely to fire the developer (or they quit), and poorly run companies just don't know how to train. End result is it just doesn't happen much anymore.

The important thing for Google is to be part of the short list right now before adoption crystalizes. Over the next year or two a large chunk of early (late?) adopters will firmly commit to one (or maybe two) vendors for their generative A

iirc it works well in Kenya because the thermal gradient is really steep and the heat is right near the surface. I don't think that's common around the world. Local expenses (labor, etc...) are also cheaper than in many parts of

Rule of thumb is double. So if you're average total comp is $150k then total cost for each of those employees is $300k/employee (office, expenses, HVAC, insurance, etc..)

Why not? I don't have time for many ads and will go to great lengths to get rid of them - especially ones I don't like. With Spotify this is even easier because there are a number of replacements available.

iirc Windows already does this - MacOS is just behind the curve here. Perhaps there are security/stability edge cases that make this more difficult than it would seem?

The US and Iran had been in a cold war since 1979 with flareups the entire time all the way through to the current day.

What car did you do that on? I drove a 2022 A6 Avant (base model) from Berlin to Sylt and rarely topped 200 before feeling not so confident safety-wise. Would a bigger engine have helped or do you just have to lean into the extra speed an

They work ok as a side feature. It is nice to ask Siri to play music and that wasn't possible a few years ago. But it's a value add for the Apple ecosystem - not a capital P Product.

Even now 1gbps is plenty for virtually every end user and I suspect it will be good enough for a long time (maybe VR changes things??).

Countries like France went all-in on nuclear - didn't change much really. Theoretical nuclear is risk free and low carbon but actual nuclear (that was available in the 60s/70s) is neither.

You're right but usually there is a spread for any transaction and so the government could step back in and define a safe spread (something high like 20%) or the crazy (but efficient) option would be to allow the owner to define the sp

Smart idea doing the hash choice per-commit. Just make sure that somebody putting in an obscure hash doesn't mess up everybody's usage of the repo if they don't have a library to evaluate that hash installed.

Those are trusts with assets and have no relationship to a record of credit events which is what the original post is about. Not to say that the SD laws aren't troubling - they just have little to with eachother.

In Europe it's intolerable - it's much nicer in the US with 25 cents being the max denomination for a coin.

Only the US has percentages that high.

Where do you have trouble with hundreds? I could imagine somewhere like Kansas but in any normal city that shouldn't be a problem. To be fair my niece thought it was odd that I had a few hundred in my wallet but at my age I prefer to

Extensibility is the term that speaks to this situation. Extensible code, updated by skilled developers, will allow for radical business logic changes without sacrificing the quality of the code over time. It's like a skyscraper. The

It's basically like a construction site - plenty of low rent projects are done in a totally disorganized "get 'er done" way. You won't see that as much for a high value construction site with top tier vendors and w
