Right? As silly as it might sound, I go out to interact with people. I don't want a mindless unthinking automaton as a server. I want someone who will check in on how the service is going, and also make recommendations if I ask. I real

That's not fair. Taylor Swift is so big because so many people resonate with her. They want to go see an artist they connect with. I get it, going to see the up-and-coming garage band with the DIY attitude at CBGBs has a comfy I'm

I think there's levels to it. I've seen what I would consider a big artist at a small venue for $20 plus tax, no fees. You could tell that show was a labor of love for the artist. But, I would never expect to pay that price going

Cause you can't traffic someone at a concert. Doesn't make sense if I can buy a plane ticket then transfer the ticket to the girl I'm trafficking.

I think it's because touring as an artist isn't free, so they need some guarantee of income to make the journey to the venue. If there's a risk the concert goers will refund the tickets, then the artist is the one left holdin

Now imagine if you could choose the buckets and allotments. It's like "ok, you paid $25,000 in taxes. $7000 of that has to go to paying the interest, cause fuck you, but you can allocate the other $18,000 as you see fit (into a mi

Vibe coders are going to be a lot like influencers in that we're going to find out people aren't half as creative as they think they are, and no barrier of entry, like learning a programming language, will exemplify that. With inf

FWIW, it's a pretty decent fried fish chain in Chicago as well.

From a technological standpoint, sure. I'd argue when you're staring down the barrel of 19,234 duplicate file deletions, with names like `image01.jpg`, `image02.jpg` instead of `happy_birthday.jpg`, there's a level of percept

Ahh but there's the rub. If I buy the software one time, I never have to think about it again and I never have to add it to a spreadsheet/peripheral software.

Better is 'longer lasting and less disposable.' Your comment got me thinking about if technology is actually better, but that's a whole new discussion. We wouldn't need the fireproof furniture if we all used the local sw

It seems to me you're advocating for waste, as I'm not seeing the "plenty of reasons why completely disposable cheap clothing isn't a bad thing" argument. Replacing shoes wasn't necessary because there were cob

So now the ancillary question from your example is: "Is hand-spun cotton better than industrialized polyester?"

It's not the idea, it's the implementation. It still takes time and effort to reverse-engineer, LLM assistance or not.

Who maintains the list of all of these a la carte subscriptions? Your credit card company? Seems like a pain to have to review it every month and discern the service from the ACH transaction name. Additionally, it would be a reactive approa

The issue I have with UI replacements is that I now have a dependency that MUST be installed, otherwise I have to learn how to UX again from scratch. If I ever get a new Mac, I now MUST install boringBar, otherwise it will be like learning

The path is different than the filename though. If I want to find duplicates, it will be impossible if the filename changes. In my use case /User/user/Images/20240110/happy_birthday.jpg and /User/user&#x2F

It's one of those topics that's evergreen for a perennial article. If there's a slow month of ad revenue, just write up a "Who is Satoshi" article, end it with "we may never know" and collect the paycheck.

I've always assumed it was Hal Finney, the first recipient of bitcoin from Satoshi, who died of cancer. I mean, if your new creation shakes out, you have a way to pay your hospital bills. Also I feel the only person who wouldn't b

Is TikTok how the practice of censoring one's own swears came about? I've seen it on a lot of social posts and have been wondering. Besides it being hokey (why use the word to then immediately self-censor), it also instantly dates

So it will reach equilibrium unless literally anything disrupts that equilibrium. Got it.
