As always with the EV industry the non-Tesla entities are following such a weird strategy it almost seems like fraud. GM sells two EVs, one that spontaneously combusts (bolt) and one that is the least efficient EV sold (hummer). How about t

And the fact that the vast majority were for one candidate. Looking at pictures of the example ballots it’s a confusing format optimized for voting machines, not humans. I really don’t understand the American obsession with voting machines,

The frameworks largely exist, the above situation is like if you rented an office building and then started running an unlicensed side business out of it. It’s just a lot rarer (cloud computing has a much lower cost of entry then a commerci

Years ago when i ordered from a site they had a system where they would charge you slightly less than the price on the order, but you had to quickly verify the last 2 digits. Ie a $100 item and they would charge you 99.97, and auto cancel t

Worth adding that “negative pieces for 10 years” is not an opinion. It was official NYT editorial policy (original tweet now deleted) https://twitter.com/KelseyTuoc/status/1588231892792328192

The past few years have been great for scammers though https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-attorney-announces-federal... There is surely some GDP gain from not ploughing 250m of taxpayers money into lambo's.

Yep Epstein and him have CIA written all over them.

This guy has major Epstein vibes (minus the girls). comes out of nowhere super politically connected, investing in research, with a pretty dubious origin story of how he got rich.

On top of AAPL growing their advertising business at the expense of their competitors is more accurate.

He could probably make it interesting though. At the moment there is a magic clump of such people, large language model experts from big tech who have left because they got sick of not being able to apply the technology. They are currentl

I think this will all work out fine in the end, the unique thing with twitter is the exact people who lead these boycott campaigns... are all completely obsessed with using twitter. The author of this thread is a prime example. And the ads

The actual quantum computers don't live inside AWS datacenters https://aws.amazon.com/braket/faqs/ (under security) Most of AWS Braqet is orchestrating emulators (ie fake quantum computers running on EC2).

In some countries this is often a menu + a ordering and payment app. It's very popular to the point that servers actually ask you to use it vs asking them. In America this wont happen because of the tipping culture, so we get the worst

Waymo has taken a fair bit of external funding. Google could in theory cut them loose which would effectively kill them, but I'm not sure they could just shut it down.

Its not about the inflation rate, its whether it's controlled. The fed reacted slower than expected to inflation, and claimed it would be transitory for a long time. Hiking is meant to take heat out of the economy, doing so while the g

When finding a new apartment a few years ago I scraped a few sites. The variance in price is pretty interesting, ie. certain days of the week were better to press "Apply" on the rental form. There is no strict need for this softwa

Was honestly expecting this to be a deprecation announcement… Not because it’s google but because Jax has so much momentum lately.

They really don't, and it's important for people to know that or they might be under the illusion it will be fixed at some point. The people who vote in SF and run the government there are obsessed with punishing some undefined &q

The first thing that comes in to mind is the Bezos leaked nudes. At the time there was a story about the Saudi's being involved and some link to Trump. Years later it came out that Bezos's investigator knew pretty early on that it

Maybe I've been in big tech for too long but this actually seems like reasonable advice to me (delivered in a snarky way). Big tech companies move slow technically, but move fast in organization structure. A "long term" proje

For the tech to succeed they need to sell to enterprises, scale manufacturing, and be making the right bet on the future of work In my opinion google has the wrong instincts on all 3. This is not really a tool for hybrid work (it’s too expe

What they are really doing is offloading the job of persisting data from ES. So you wouldn't need to use S3 or some s3 emulator like other comments have suggested. Give the ES cluster a disk it can write to that is guaranteed to be rep
