I’m not sure if you’re aware, but the manufacturing industry & the global supply chain is still reeling from the COVID pandemic closures - there’s a well documented microchip shortage, and other prices have been jacked up due to the red

For my fellow Americans, pissed in British English means “drunk” - which makes it even more hilarious.

Some folks don’t take kindly to lofty claims and name-dropping just to rile up interest. I’ve run production apps on Heroku in the past, best possible service for small teams. Gitlab? Given how expensive it is - I’m not so sure.

Connectivity at airports is not the best - if you’re on an expensive data plan those extra MBs cost a pretty penny which might put off the customer. You need to think about the larger picture.

Not sure what to make of this. I’m Indian and the last time I was in India, there was strict execution of the seatbelt law and offenders were made to wait and fined heavily. Most drivers were wearing seatbelts. Maybe because it was in Chenn

I’m not sure if I feel easy about this “statistic” - deaths per mile?? These are humans, and more importantly to the business - paying customers. If my product has the possibility of killing my customer, I’d probably not be comfortable with

You’re still able to employ critical thinking. I’d say the lack of critical thinking has led us here.

Funny how my most played games are WZ and Dota as well I do use Mac instead of Linux for development but I did use Debian/Ubuntu as my main partition for a few years.

While this sounds good as an hypothesis - the ground reality is far from this, Tesla build quality is below average at best w QA being non-existent. Tesla Insurance is an unproven entity and horribly mismanaged. Eg: https://tesla

I guess the cooling let’s them tweak the CPU clocks accordingly? Wonder if we can hack the Mac mini with water blocks and squeeze higher clocks. The memory limitation makes it a dud though.

I’m not sure about Kosher, but for meat to be considered Halal - it has to be treated well and not suffer. If the animal suffers it is rendered non-halal. Halal meat is more humane than widely used slaughter methods. There is misconception

lol, yup - Muslims are the Indian bogeyman. Similar to how African Americans and Hispanics are looked at in the U.S. The value for life is non-existent in India, unfortunately.

Classic knee-jerk reaction. Don’t use Facebook and they literally can’t do anything with their data. I’ve stopped using FB beyond messenger and I doubt my data helps them in anyway shape or form.
