Every company is a bit different. There's IC's where I work making more than some managers. The author suggests that nobody is going to come tap you on the shoulder and let you know it's time. Well, that's what happene

Politics is an arm's race. This is going to be an unpopular opinion, but Democrats do all the same things Republicans do. Arguably they differ in how they do it, and how much. Democrats gerrymander, and as well traffic in conspiracy

I've seen big companies manage to duplicate startup-like culture with small teams internally. Weird things like directors handling builds and source control duties. 12 hour days, working weekends. These teams said that per man-hour t

The point is - they're going to do that anyways if they want to. Owning the LLM platforms makes it marginally cheaper to do so. It's not the risk it's being made out to be.

Indeed, government regulation is decried mostly because of all the cases where it got polluted by special interests, instead of following the interests of general consumers. This is how you end up turning a chunk of your food supply into fu

So - I know folks who have mulled over attaching the emitter of a microwave oven to a parabolic 2.4ghz antenna (indeed, same spectrum). It would be cool... For anyone who does not want children one day.

It's a plus from the manufacturer side - kitchen gadgets you keep more than 10 years. With required smartphone app, it is almost assured to not work in 10 years, and you have to buy another one. Just another method of planned obsolese

Love both of them. CNN has become a bit "left-leaning Fox News" for my taste, though. If Al Jazeera or BBC had a similar text only site, that would be best. I really love the different perspectives. I mostly use brutalist.report

It is a big world out there. Surely there are archivists who would make a digital copy outside of BBC jurisdiction, and then said digital copy could be similarly provided via sneaker net to a (presumably) friendly Swedish seaman. It feels

The key seems to be to get rich slowly, or anonymously. Do not give people the idea you have more money than you know what to do with, and life will continue as it did before.

You can refuse a stranger a ride if it feels off to you. If you are telling a personal anecdote to threadjack a topic, there are several potential reasons why - if that is what you are trying to do. It is open to interpretation as to that

The suggestion I was "forcing" someone to accept a risk is reading what they want to read into my comment. I cannot force anyone to do anything, I am mere lines of text on a screen. Whether I was rebutting their comment depends o

Nailed it. The amount of bandwidth men should dedicate to this is far lower than what women should be dedicating to it in terms of absolute risk. That isn't to say you should not be thinking about making sure you don't put yourse

Frankly - how many phone calls do you really make and take these days? It's vanishingly rare for me. I got a call from a friend today - but I think I otherwise only make or receive a legit phone call every few days. We use social med

Came here to post this. If you run (say) a restaurant, you get big spikes in business from TikTok videos in ways you don't get from Facebook or Instagram or others. TikTok is the platform everyone is one right now.
