I think there's a reality for (visiting) consumers, Schengen has more value than the currency union, at least if you're not a user of cash. My experiences in non-Euro, Schengen countries is that all payment terminals offer me the

In my country, e-mail is now used purely as a sales tool. Notifications from government and schools are also delivered via SMS, and either WhatsApp or Telegram. So.. yeah, block everyone. Turns out the second you do this you eliminate 100

I find this particularly fascinating, given the post email world I live in now. I haven't had an email from a contact in over two years. It sounds like a sales tool, in a world where the goal is to distance from that availability.

My LLM use case preference is exactly that - a google replacement. I've modified my prompts to ask for links to direct source material, thereby allowing me to go deeper. I find this in no way different then a search engine. The downsid

To be fair, depending on your partnership you actually do get the code to these blobs, and export control comes into play.

It sounds like docker export and makeself combined. We already ship to select customers prebuilt containers exactly this way.

That's a pretty narrow view, I think it depends more on culture. I live somewhere where (not in North America) where grocery delivery is the norm, food delivery is the norm... online shopping is easy. This all frees up time that we spe

It depends which series of risks (or sequences) trouble you. Global diversification, in this instance has proven problematic - as evident by the varying (related) drops. Personally, I view my market investments as already fixed. I'd li

This is my #1 use case now that something's been vacuuming my floor for 15 years, and washing for ~3. Add this labour saving device and I'm immediately buying, and selling to others.

This particular issue would be great for competition, and the economy. Conglomerates always have a discount. Whilst (perhaps) unpopular, this is one thing I'm rather in favour of.
