To be fair the first thing I do is disable all ads. Most don't dig that deep. And due to Europe all their "oh are you sure you don't wanna sign up for all these" now has consistent no button positions. I think w11 is fan

The issue is there are zero laws controling data collection. Online or from cars. And no ability to opt out. No practical ability at least.

Just to note, everything is rosy right up until another MTA profit conversation and suddenly how can we monetize literally everything. Also facial recognition is error prone enough that I'm sure a few people will get harassed by the sy

Wow. useOptimistic is seriously cool. These are all really great tools to eliminate more and more boilerplate. Can't wait to put it all into use. Gotta say, I really love what the react team has been doing, sure it hasn't always b

The barrier of proof for a bogus DMCA is incredibly high. Even something like "our system sends out 100k takedowns a day, so it had to be automaded and sometimes we face false positives" is enough to shut down a case. DMCA has man

8 hours a day, that's 12 minutes a case. They also need to hang up as quickly as possible on their calls. Yeah, if your case is remotely complex, they're fucked. The reality is that bad management is a direct cause of these issues

I have a friend who works for the IRS. They basically can't spend more than a minute per client. Its basically "okay cool" move on. They gotta do like 40 cases a day. The tricky part is that you're basically playing a lo

Twitter was notorious for crashing. The fail whale was a internet meme... Then they fixed it and for about 7 years I basically never saw a problem with twitter, even in the worst internet conditions. Today the bugs are back. Things are cons

Cynical but on point. My thought is I unfortunately don't trust Google for product launches because of exactly this. And I know anyone at startups might be thinking similar things.

Incoming layoff notices. Stupid decisions are usually explained by a desire to get voluntary resignations.

I always walk in saying "let's assume no trade-in, no down payment, just talk raw car price with me, assume I can pay in cash, then we'll talk about the rest" This lets me actually have 1 number to focus on and negotiate

I couldn't get into the books. Just didn't resonate with me. 8breally enjoyed the show. The whole thing. The story stands well on its own.

One word. Run Any company where non tech managers want to say gpt can do that in 5 minutes doesn't understand the small and subtle ways gpt will misinterpret making things very messy very fast. In toy problem scenarios gpt does pretty

That's my big challenge, I want to get the money for the experience I bring, but ultimately companies don't see it that way. Just more bets I can't really afford to take. :(

I know many who have the same sentiment. And I wish we lived in a society where that was the case.

Difference is funding. Good luck convincing the population you need to tripple teacher salaries. I mean we should. But good luck convincing.

10 years from now is likely a different administration and it'll be their problem. The "Someone Else's Problem" is a very strong motivator.

Similar to math teachers and programming. Most great math teachers can easily convert to at least mediocre programmers. And that translates to a 3x+ salary increase on day 1. I know people who converted. How does academia compete?

We want to migrate to it: "Okay cool! We'll sign you up! Good luck!" vs "We have a migration strategy, and partners who can help you lift-and-ship or at least consult to get you a lay of the land. Try these companies and

The other comment mentioned how google didn't even acknowledge why they did it. I have to say, talking to AWS and GCP, the AWS marketing, onboarding, and support arm are far far far far far superior to google's. In fact they are s

It gets to the meat and potatoes at the end. They were forced to do it, so they put a positive spin on it as if they're doing it out of the goodness of their heart. Still a positive, but man, that marketing messaging. I give props to t

Even if it isn't 2.1, the off the shelf adapters will definitely cost, but it is a long-term strategy. If every card supports DP natively and everyone is shipping hdmi 2.0 adapters, monitor manufacturers will be strongly inclined to in

Thinking about it more, there's no down side to DP. Every card manufacturer should spend an extra $2 and ship with a DP -> HDMI adapter and drop HDMI universally. There's no down side. And that $2 will be well worth the licens

Hdmi has zero illusions about being ineffective. It was cracked the first day it was released. It's a mechanism to force you to pay a licensing fee to manufacture hdmi devices. It's why display ports are the way to go.

This is why companies do this nonsense. The cost is so low, that its just the cost of doing business. They need an additive punitive damage getting everyone $100. In any case, sensationalist headlines aside, some lawyer is gonna make a lot

The cut is too universal and not neuanced. If it was a 30% cut on profits, that would make sense, and everyone would grin but deal with it. But if you sell something for a 10% markup, having to give that + 20% to apple is bad. And now peopl

To note, staff position requirements are very high. One because they cost a lot, and two because they're looking for proven people. Going from senior to staff or principal is a huge leap. Personally I have no idea how people expect to
