Have you thought about possibly hiring a junior engineer to make the transition possible? I don't know what your use case but creating a solution that fits your needs would be worth it IMO. You're already spending a years worth of

Have you heard of "right to roam" laws in the UK? They make sense to me and maybe the US could use them for all public lands.

That’s fine. As long as Google is broken up. I doubt your scenario will happen either, we all saw the hundreds of billions in investor value that occurred when AT&T was broken up. Breaking up Google will help everyone everywhere.

Yes there is no right to access an advertising market for Google, luckily the government agrees they are an illegal monopoly. Hopefully the ramifications are massive and company breaking.

lol in what world is breaking paid user contracts and flagrantly getting away with it democratic? What does free market even mean in this context? That the big trillion dollar corporation can bury you in legal fees or remove your means of m

No but it would stop a single company from accumulating so much power. How you can argue such things are democratic are beyond me. There is nothing democratic about trillion dollar corporations that can ruin your business for refusing to pl

The author previously wrote an article about dissecting this very question: https://www.wheresyoured.at/wheres-the-money/ What's interesting is that they stopped reporting monthly active users and prefer weekly ac

I don't think they are differentiating between types of users, just amount of users.

This is a trillion dollar corporation. Would Google seriously have trouble raising the funds to build a chip fab? This seems like something they could do if they actually want to but I’d guess that would take actual leadership when they app

You’re having existential dread over pure science fiction written by people who have something to gain from LLM companies becoming profitable? You have it right. Just ignore the grifters. These companies are burning billions and are realizi

That'll change soon, don't worry.

It's way easier to understand when they just want to attack labor and absolve capital, it really is that simple for 99% of the discourse you read online.
253.
by azemetre 2y ago
No you see only capital is allowed to bargain with the government, labor is not allowed to for "reasons" that somehow always seem to benefit capital at their expense.
254.
by azemetre 2y ago
Poppycock. Being able to collectively bargain against the government is more than legal, it should be encouraged. They don't have veto power over Congress, it's about allowing workers to dictate the terms they seem fair for themse
255.
by azemetre 2y ago
Yes because if it’s one thing workers like is removing their bargaining power and relying solely on how future administrations feel about your job.

Give me another day and I'll respond in full; but my thesis is taken from the book "Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning" which was written by a group of neuro- and cognitive scientists on what are the most effec

Flash cards are some of the least effective ways to learn FYI and retain info.

I feel like it's a great bellwether that react has jump shipped as a viable way to build applications if the mindshare of maintainers/core devs/influencers are pushing in this direction.

by azemetre 2y ago
Can you do all this without relying on any LLM usage? If so then you’re fine.

by azemetre 2y ago
You realize NPR and PBS, along with the foreign US press (name escapes me), have been a thing for 50+ years right? Laws can be written in a way to guarantee independence from despots too. Idk it feels better than this whole private affair w

Who says we have to keep using YouTube for this vision? There's no reason why the government can't nationalize these services if they are so vital for a variety of commerce. Or at the very least regulate it as a utility and allow

If there is such a small ability for the average person to make SMB viable without massive subsidies by advertisers maybe it's time to argue that there should be more public investment and grants given to independent journalists that m

I honestly don't understand this "stopped time" tactic? Reading the sources seems more confusing. Can someone explain like I'm a college freshman?

McConnell has brought the Senate to an absolute standstill during key democratic legislation like several dozen times. Why is he a more effective minority leader than Schumer? Worse, why is Schumer not using the same tactics McConnell did?

The odd part is that Congress, at any time, can revoke these tariffs but are choosing not to do so because they need them for the tax cuts the GOP will legislate later this year. The only sad thing during this whole ordeal is how ineffectua

Feel free to make an industry friendly version of the organization then, otherwise it seems like a lot of devs are extremely passionate about open source not just in usage but a movement that literally allowed them to carve out careers from

by azemetre 2y ago
Yes please, is there a site or something that you have to collect emails for those interested?

by azemetre 2y ago
You're acting as if there aren't already tens of thousands of actual open source projects that exist just fine, some even make enough money to support continued development. Why are you acting like the alternative is to burn down

by azemetre 2y ago
It's not hyperbolic. We're in a profession that elevates each other via open source. Saying something that is open source when it's not is no different than snake oil salesmen selling whiskey elixirs in the 1800s as cure alls
