Fair point. We should probably have some way to refer to US gov’t funded scientific orgs & their research/recommendations before vs after the 2nd Trump Administration.

Apple wants to prove to investors that users are enabling their new “Apple Intelligence” feature. It should be labeled market manipulation.

As a 3rd anecdote, I used vim for 10 years as my primary editor and “shell”. Then 10 years ago I learned tmux and fell in love with its window multiplexing. Now I use vim strictly as an editor/splitter. But I use tmux to split my code

Historically you are correct that only around 4,000 employees of the US federal government are 'political hires' that the President can change/hire/fire. However in October 2020, Trump ordered Schedule F [0] that effect

Agreed. However containers make maintenance much more difficult. A year after a container was deployed, it needs an update. And then you discover there are a set of deprecated libraries that need updating. It can get messy. Not sure an

I'm not sure it was like that. Back then they had scams. Postal scams, work-at-home scams, beauty product scams, etc. One possible different might be the internet. Allowing scammers access to so many people makes it easier to fish.

Can’t stress this enough. Thank you for mentioning it!! In my career I’ve encountered many engineers unfamiliar with this concept when designing a distributed system.

I have no evidence that CMG is doing this today. However the archived page [0] from CMG’s site describing “Active Listening” specifically mentioned smart phones. From the page: “Active Listening begins and is analyzed via AI to detect perti

I’ve often thought that the Northeast of America heavily suggests an “Intelligent Hand”. The sheer amount of plants that are edible is mind boggling. Apples, acorns, elder/choke berries, walnuts, hazelnuts, onions, garlic, cattails, da

Your analogy is sound but your conclusion is not. There are many home owners that live by the shore that can’t purchase flood insurance from any provider. Similarly with life insurance, if I die engaging in certain risky behavior, it voids

This title is wrong. It should read, “Startups learn the easy way how to manage cash…”. Because there are truly no long-lasting repercussions for the mismanagement of their cash balances. Perhaps a better story would be, “Fiscally Responsib

It may not hold up in court. But at that point, you’re trying to claim assets back from a bankrupt entity.

This isn’t true in the case of bankruptcy. Note that in early 2022, Coinbase updated it’s disclosures to include that customer coins could be used as collateral to pay debts. That would leave customers as unsecured creditors (ie, stuck at t
