Just for the record, the 2nd amendment is not a 'law' - it is a right guaranteed by the constitution. while it is a simple process to change a law - rights guaranteed by the constitution necessarily and by design, have a much high

work less? in my state they are contractually obligated to work just over 900 hours a year - a typical FT employee is expected to work more than twice that (1920 - 2000 hours) depending on vacation benefit. I don't think teachers pay i

what a meaningless article - lots of stories of this happening (including on the comments on the article), and the entire article is basically saying - without any proof whatsoever - that it has never happened, not a single time, ever in th

I always thought AWS would end up buying them, of course this was 5+ years ago when I had that thought - not so sure anymore ... but I do agree, I don't think they will remain a company as-is.

I think that is exactly the OP's point - they are spreading them selfs so thin in many areas (AI or not), they took their eye off the ball.

this is pretty much my take as well - but as a non-employee - I was a big fan and user of twilio when they first came out, even attended the very first few twiliocon conferences in SF, (mostly developer focused) where they would announce an

The relationship is the GP, was wondering if there is a more 'reliable' source than 'the-sun', i.e. a bigger name paper with credibility - I think the person you were responding to is just saying these days it really d

count me in as one who has given up in Windows 11 for now - their unwillingness to let me run in on an Intel Mac that is only a few years old (using bootcamp) is a non-starter for me.

Honestly surprised they have been unencrypted as long as they have - I am an avid scanner listener (not in NY though), so if everyone gets encrypted it will affect my very part-time 'hobby', but on the other hand, some of the stuf

you should just assume that any reporting you see on almost any topic is at a minimum biased, if not a complete fabrication by either an individual with a personal agenda or else by whomever is paying for the reporting. It is a sad state

Its pretty sad isn't it? Decades ago I used to travel a lot and always brought a camera with me (SLR + lenses) - only ever 'saw' things thru the lens, missing the opportunity to be in the moment - I woke up to what was happen

alternative opinion: if the board had done what it was should have done in the first place it wouldn't have been left up to social media to do the work for them.
