Like in all things, risk can come from all over the place. Microsoft recently decided to cut off a foreign military from Azure under pressure from Microsoft employees, because that military's use of the platform was in violation of the

That isn’t necessarily bad… but the dogma normal people get from the index crowd is that they have less risk and low cost. Since we’re living in an era that looks more like 1905, there’s alot of skew and the public doesn’t get access. In th

The market as a whole is being driven by less than a dozen stocks. VTI is one third tech. Many people are not as safe or diversified as they think they are.

That's a an unimaginative assertion for this risk. How do you track the chain of custody of your servers? Do you sample them at random to ensure they aren't compromised? Bloomberg never backed away from their story about Chinese i

I don’t think any credible person is saying CO2 is dangerous to life. The changes to the climate can disrupt things like ocean currents to disastrous effect. Atmospheric gas won’t kill anyone, we’ll kill each other over access to resources

I think there are some differences in approach and philosophy. Some are probably real and essential and some are more culture in fire service. There are most certainly online discussions at great length on the topic.

What does the contract or the law say? The “Feds asked nicely” doesn’t change the law. I worked for a company that processed state income tax data. Improper disclosure was a felony punishable by 5 years in prison. Regulating interstate comm

I’m on a city e&a board. A couple of PE groups have rolled up the remaining fire truck manufacturers. 3 companies own 75% of the market. This is a well known issue… Google away and there’s lots to read about. I know nothing about cement

There's also a bunch of PE money in the space for specialized vehicles, leading to the usual consequences. Fire trucks are the canonical example. Shittier trucks that take 3x longer to get and are dramatically less reliable.

Because they are moving fast and breaking shit. Ask ChatGPT to output markdown or PDF on iOS or Mac app and the web experience. The web is often better - the apps will return nothing.

Yeah there’s no more drivers out there, bro. Lol.

That’s an issue with that practice. I had the tools to view MRIs in my laptop.

We did have depraved and corrupt government with Jackson and Grant. We didnt have the massive military impact in both terms of economics and power. The long game is going to be brutal, and the country bumpkins will suffer the most.

Depends on the contract. Anytime you do something fast and drastic, you fuck up, and those are often expensive.

Remember, the AI doesn’t create anything, so you add risk potentially to the patient outcome and perhaps make advancement more difficult. My late wife had to have a stent placed in a vein in her brain to relieve cranial pressure. We had to

The writing was on the wall once Linux was a thing. I did alot of solution design in that period. The only times there were good business cases in my world for not-x86 were scenarios where DBAs and some vertical software required Sun, and o

Fair. But I have a price — increased travel time yields me some Duff’s Wings in Buffalo!

I think there’s a difference between tiny and small. There are a ton of tiny companies that essentially buy services from fortune 50s and lease from big real estate firms. Businesses with 50-100 people are pretty rare compared to the past

Agreed. The point of these things is that the company is betting on you doing the decent thing at your expense. I refuse to accommodate their failure. I was in one of these situations once where we missed a scheduled flight because of an ai

Let it be the airlines problem. My screaming five year old is going to generate a bunch of complaints and refunds for the airline. The kid will get over it, and the misery of the rest of the people on the flight isn’t my problem. The stewar

That was an option in the 1950s for infants. They attached a little cot to the overhead — sort of like the changing shelf on a pack and play!

It’s really easy: it’s all about revenue maximization. Honestly, people fly too much. I’m 6’5 with a 24” shoulder - flying economy is painful for me and the poor soul stuck next to me. I don’t need to fly for business and am fortunate to ha

Was it? What does “near the UN” really mean? My guess is they did some sort of sweep in advance of the president’s visit and the secret service decided, probably rashly, to do something about it instead of ignore it. The NY Post, dipshits t

The only gotcha with the zip code reverse lookup is that there is a many to one relationship between city and zip. Look at Albany, NY (12201-12209) in the list you posted. There are a few with two cities, and iirc there are at least 3 other

Why isn’t it? That land wasn’t valuable when it was orange groves. The improvements make the place.

Only in LVT fantasy land. Improvements represent applications of labor and capital that produce value.

LVT is the online forum dream. Land is worth money because of improvements or detrimental choices. Manhattan and Staten Island have dramatically different valuations because of what’s there. California needs a sane taxation system that does

I know a few people in New York like this. At the end of the day, home is home and Nevada is Nevada. The people who actually act on this stuff are usually not really wealthy, mostly just retirees finding themselves with a windfall of time a
