   Clubhouse died because it was a bad idea. Twitter Spaces hasn't succeeded either.

   San Francisco is still an incredible city to live and work in if you're young and don't have a family (which is a huge part of the workforce). The homelessness problem is blown out of proportion in terms of everyday living (it&#x2

   Yes, and no. International grads in the US also want stability, and FAANG has proven to not offer that anymore. Many Stanford grads I know are targeting pharma-tech and health tech companies which still pay well, but have a way more stabili

   Angular is nototiously bad for single developers. React is much better, and things like Remix and Gatsby are even better.

   That is true, I'm sure there have chips that have been purposely down-binned because they needed more i5s instead of i7s (probably not right now, but back when Intel was dominating and slacking). But even that unique case is very diffe

    I disagree, many mom and pop / convenience stores will be able to operate by just accepting cash.

    Binning is completely different, an i5 may be able to perform as fast an i7 if you overclock it, but it depends on your luck on how your i5 was, and it will almost certainly be unstable. Binning is the equivalent of making really fancy ch

    The very first one I tried (which was suggested) failed immediately. It was trying some SQL query. The question was: How many users are there in 2022?

    I've never understood the built-in adblock argument, it takes like 30 seconds to download uBlock origin (which I personally trust more anyway).

    I mean, Clubhouse is dead, why would this stay alive. Sucks for all the devs who worked on this though.

    I don't think those things are good at all (especially 2., that was a mess), but the Verge has hundreds of people working for them, and I think overall their content is amazing. Nilay Patel is... uh, a mood, he's probably my leas

    I will never understand the hype behind Brave. Why would I watch ads that give Brave a cut of the money, instead of watching ads that actually benefit the content I'm looking at?

    The Verge is honestly pretty great. Usually. It's the only mainstream tech news publication that feels like it's not bought out by every company (re: CNET)

    Obviously 100% of the engineers weren't just keeping the lights on. The long-term future of Twitter is way more bleak right now than it was a year ago, and that has, in part, to do with the fact that all of the insane engineering talen
