Where can I find a list for all OSes? I’d assume such a list would have known issues with X11 etc. I want to ensure it’s not a case of surviviorship bias.

Agree.I also remember those days when it was so hard to get Linux to just boot up and get your display working correctly- it was almost like a rite of passage. It was just proving grounds for how much of an expert you were and the number of

Amazon and Microsoft are very close in their compensation; in fact they except Meta and Netflix, everyone is very close to each other. You should check out levels.fyi if you don’t have sources from those companies.

I think the intent of the article is to express that the obesity epidemic should be treated like a problem of culture and society and not an individual. Eastern societies have different ways of dealing with things than Western, and that’s o

That last bit resonates with me so much! In fact, there’s a word in Japanese for it - ‘tsundoku’! Ever since I stumbled upon it, I feel almost vindicated :)).

CEOs are selected by boards of companies. I’ll be surprised if majority boards are of Indian descent.

Exactly this. What OP sees is likely survivorship bias. Indians are the biggest population compared to China who have learnt English pretty much as a first language. It makes a big difference, especially for managerial positions in American

Outlook is a part of Office. Also, I’m not sure ‘vertical integration’ is the only way to succeed at business. Google is trying to do that here - with a fast-changing landscape, one would want to use the best downstream provider.

I don’t understand - how is the attacker able to decrypt TLS packets for ChatGPT requests? It seems like that aspect has been assumed. Isn’t this similar to someone just replacing your HTML page for an encrypted connection?

Because it’s a hard problem! there are nuances to this complex problem that need to be thought through before reducing too much. In this case, then, regurgitation is the problem then, not the fact that it was ‘read’. If the models ensured t

Isn’t this the case already with the Industrial Revolution where we began mass-producing (mostly) better day-to-day utility items rather than getting from a specific craftsman? I’d think that the clothing industry went through something sim

I am an outlier and minority here - WFH should have worked for me, but I realized the lack of control over snacking when at home, and a lack of discipline to take breaks between meetings to walk and be active. I gained 20 lbs over two years

If admins are ‘lazy’, wouldn’t they regret a choice they made that increased their work (it being a horror show and all that) and instead go back to the smart choice of not-Teams? Do we have data on loss of productivity for companies that m
