I have FSD Beta. These uncut youtube videos were a large reason of why I bought into FSD Beta, and I will say they show it in a much better light than my on-the-ground experience. I'm not even accusing the posters of selecting only goo

Being able to add arbitrary logic to an otherwise static binary has a lot of interesting use cases. For example Envoy Proxy supports hot-loading arbitrary HTTP filters compiled to WASM into its filter-chain. This allows users to extend the

Sure, but "Pay $502 for the privilege of running code on other people's machines" doesn't seem like a big improvement? At least to get a driver's license you need to pass a driving test, and return periodically to u

Thanks for this, I didn't even see the labels and was re-reading the text trying to see if they had specified which chart directions represented which measurements! Unfortunately GH doesn't have a way to alternate images in a read

The company having that much influence over your day-to-day life during non-business hours every fourth week is an enormous burden. I would want at least 50% higher overall total annual comp to even consider that schedule, and even then i

I love on the checkout page that they explicitly tell you not to check the "please remember my information for next time" box, "for the sake of your own privacy" - very on brand :)

I'd love to see some more great Free-For-All (FFA) games. So much interesting emergent gameplay, game-theory musing, and player-driven engagement. I used to love Warcraft 3 custom game modes that provided this style of gameplay. It res

I think a big contributor to this "Brilliant asshole" trope is that if you ignore some things like teamwork/communication it's a lot easier to appear to be doing 10x the work. This can manifest in so many ways... Not d

If effectively enforcing the ban on impaired driving was a viable option that was truly on the table then yes, I would 100% be in favor of requiring this testing to happen privately. Breathalyzer for engine start, eye tracking to prevent ph

Similarly, you and I are both forced to share the roads with folks who are impaired in various ways, whether it's declining reflexes, vision, cognitive function - or just straight up drunk driving. As somebody who comes from a country

I hate the trend that the "pro" versions of all these flagship phones need to be an XL Phablet monstrosity. Human hands haven't gotten any bigger. I have owned most of the Nexus & Pixel phones throughout the years. After

Certainly not, but if we invent a life-saving medicine that 1 in 1 million people have a fatal reaction to, we'll still consider it enough of an overall positive for humanity to celebrate it as a technological win for society. The rati

Not GP but usually the big reason for not buying is that you either need a large amount down (20% in my market, or 10% + additional monthly "Mortgage Insurance" payments until you hit 23% ownership). Average home price in the &quo
