   Companies like John Deere have way overplayed their hand, and I'm glad to see the regulatory winds are changing.

   They call them "slippery slopes" for a reason. Why were they collecting this data at all, and why is it constitutional?

   Thanks for replying, and I can safely say that most of us just want first-class conformity with OpenAI's API without JSON schema weirdness (not using refs, for instance) baked in.

   I feel like the first MVB was Maddox - too bad he fell way off.

   Believe me when I say that DOGE is filled with smart people (I know a few of them). Just because they're scattershot cutting doesn't mean they're stupid.

    I think you started to form a persuasive argument, but you discredit yourself by saying "orange man".

    Is this primarily because Elon has become an extremely divisive figure? Asking authentically. What other problems in the market might be causing this?

    Coming from a .NET developer - why NOT F#? * Network effect, or lack thereof. Very few people use it. * Its nature is contrary to the ecosystem. The CLR is fundamentally resistant to the paradigms that F# creates. Wonderful little language

    I would hardly decide to trust a politician based on a 5 second quip on live TV.

    As a consultant who makes most of their money off of Microsoft technologies, I'm finding more and more reasons NOT to use Azure. Chiefly among them is their famously bad support. Just google it- I've never spoken with anyone or se

    Hey Dan, thanks for the well-reasoned and thoughtful moderation approach. TBH, after seeing the number of upvotes and comments, I wondered why it wasn't ranked higher. Your explanation makes sense to me. I think you struck the right ba

    Full disclosure, I've never been laid off. OP sounds very bitter and - frankly - melodramatic. Getting laid off is terrible, but this person makes it sounds like they'll never heal/never be the same/all companies suck&#x
