Let's say this is a DOS causing the outage - if the DOS is bad enough that the service is out for enough users then that is effectively an outage, regardless of the cause. Saying this post is part of a coordinated campaign to damage th

I don't think that's the only thing holding the technology back. The only EV pickups in the US are like $60-$120K. Price is a huge barrier to entry. Average sale price, per Gemini: - GMC Hummer EV: $105,600 - Rivian R1T: $

Best defense is to basically stay small/niche enough that the big guys don't think your work is worth consuming/competing with directly. There will always be a market for dedicated tools that do really specific things REALLY

The lack of "real, comment sense human support" from giant tech corporations is terrifying - and something that only regulation can fix. These tech companies have increasingly taken over our lives - getting locked out of a 20-year

Long ago I remember reading society in China was like this. There's SO MANY people that you HAVE TO cheat the system to even maintain pace with your peers, much less get ahead. And cheating is so rampant that it's expected you wil

When companies stop hiring juniors it completely kills the employee leveling process. It all but stops the creation of skilled senior employees. You say you can just hire from outside the company - but what do you do when there is no one le

The companies that are abandoning junior roles are making a life-or-death bet that AI will eventually replace ALL work. Because those senior people will NOT be around forever. And they have killed their talent development and knowledge tran

Reading Jonathan Haidt's 'The Anxious Generation' broke me. I have two kids, still far too young for smartphones, but his book and all of the surrounding research has made me DRASTICALLY alter the way I use my own smartphone

So let me get this straight...OpenAI wants to eliminate basically all jobs via AGI/ASI. They claim it's going to cost trillions of dollars to do that. And they want us (the American people) to pay for it via federal guarantees (ba

Especially crazy considering the 737 is not a particularly large commercial aircraft. 40kg/minute is around 12 gallons (47 liters) of fuel per minute. Meanwhile a 777 burns around 42 gallons (160 liters) per minute. A 747 burns 63 gall
