I think the point here is not savings it’s the appearance of (or actual) corruption/capture. It might be cheaper now, because he’s aware of scrutiny, but will it be cheaper when this cools down? Also, isn’t the point of govt bidding th

People will not know to ask about platelet count. She had to tell the AI what she was seeing, and then upload a picture to get a more precise diagnosis and recommendation. You can't upload a photo to google and get a similar result. Yo

It would not be security clearances, but some form of assurances for protecting PII. Think of it this way. If this system contained people’s credit cards numbers, the entire system would be required to be PCI certified, and that requires th

Aren’t they about to be fired?

Well that's very embarrassing. Thanks for clearing that up. But now I'm even more curious/confused. Why now?

Was Shopify just running a team it didn't want until government changed? Doesn't sound very private sector to me. What other things do these companies do just to appease current administrations/cultural trends?

I live in such a country, where news of foreign handouts happen multiple times a year, $X hundred million for agriculture, $Y billion over Z years for education, etc. Then you see local consultants taking in millions to manage the funds, or

It’s definitely served as a support forum for other companies, like Stripe. Maybe only for YC companies?

Problem is, you can't trace the money from USAID to the actual starving people. Stays with the leaders.

Bill might not understand that: this might be the goal, those are not American lives after all. Also, Cutting diplomatic grease might be a good strategy to squeeze some nations. Instead of threatening to cut funding, cut it and get concessi

I never really understood that Christian claim. It's like values are cherry picked, "we like strong, male dominated families, no abortion! ...uhh, that's it!"

I assume if social security is being paid and being spent, someone has the ability to manage a bank account, and that person then has a bank account, and the bank has collected enough kyc info to satisfy this correct? If not, at least there

Problem with this is, if or when they are proven wrong, it will be very privately, no one will ever hear about it. It will be lost in the noise of “we found lots of fraud”. And no one will be able to get as straight an answer as the accusat

I use k8s, wouldn't call it simple, but there are ways to minimize the complexity of your setup. Mostly, what devs see as complexity is k8s packages a lot of system fundamentals, like networking, storage, name resolution, distributed a

Do we think Marc Andreessen feels a little bit embarrassed now after the whole debanking from the left drama?

US Air force deployed kubernetes on an F-35. All I can think of is the jet complaining how much faster it would be in a dogfight if it didn’t have to wait for those damn stuck finalizers.

I think the EO is for review, not retractions correct?

I think the problem with democrats is they’re indirect. They don’t ask for loyalty, but seriously retaliate against anything not loyal to their principles. For example, if you’re not for LGBTQ, or you’re for meritocracy as opposed to DEI, y

I think this is a case where it’s becoming clear that some US laws were vague and there always needed to be some specification. I mean, what does checks and balances mean? How do you execute it? By sheer force of will apparently.

Didn’t Trump issue an EO to expedite security clearances for people who were in line 1 day after inauguration? Could they be those people?

by figassis 2y ago
It’s going to be really funny if Trump realizes that maybe he didn’t read all of DOGE’s fine print, and gets buyer’s remorse because he’s the one on the hook for crashing the economy, not Musk. Well, it won’t be funny at all actually.

Here, there are 2 sides arguing. One claims the other is advocating destroying the environment, the other claims the former is manufacturing fake crisis. Either none has proven their right (or were not effective enough that the other side c

I have a snippet I religiously use to scaffold the go error log + return. I’d say the amount of snippets I use are less, and maybe eventually I will use none. But with that one I want predictability. I don’t want to have to review every err

This should make it clear. There is no such thing as being for or against ideology. If you exist, there are things you weakly believe in, and things you strongly believe in. The thing someone else strongly believes in, that we weakly believ

Might bug bounty programs be more effective, if disclosures are also automatically reported to a government agency, like the FCC, and the relevant company's email cc'd on that? They'd need to provide clear evidence that a rep
