Might appear like that at a glance. I wonder…the additional costs in terms of time, ongoing expense, etc. might make $10 billion to cut it off seem correct in some paths.

Writing isn’t there for Marvel sure. But to me the achievement is reliably producing B grade movies. Entertaining, worth a chuckle, easy on the eyes. None deserve an Oscar, but none (or few) are really very bad. Even if that were easy to do

I enjoy content that adds curious new information and different views to topics full of cliches, while still being relatively respectable or well researched. Coming Apart - this book described the coming separation of the US into two “class

The executives and producers. There’s a fascinating leaked email thread from Marvel where a couple random execs are hyping up each other’s terrible ideas, saying they could kill off characters and reboot Iron Man and other self-indulgent no

Airbnb has allowed hosts to ratchet up cleaning fees ridiculously. They look for any excuse to remove your negative review so they can keep that property (income stream) producing. And the hosts have become more and more draconian now that

I wonder if losing this income stream will ironically just make them even more beholden to their corporate masters for succor and sustenance.

What’s so fun here? How is it related to insider trading?

In my layman’s view it’s obviously a balance, like all things. Look at the top athletes - Michael Phelps has more upper body than he does lower. The best UFC fighters often have insane wingspan for their height (and therefore reach for punc

Users click more on big brands. The average internet user doesn’t want to browse hobby websites, they use the top 10 sites and never leave them. Accept it. Some of them never leave only Reddit or TikTok.

As if the world was brimming with integrity in the past? We have the internet now, and can see how the powerful have been behaving this whole time.

A good point but you were quite literally the opposite of what most people mean when they talk about food cravings. You were starved!

I love the example of ancient texts that decry how the youth don’t listen to their elders any more and the lords are getting stingier with the taxes every season. It’s a universal feeling.

Reminds me of Alan Watts - the way is to go with the flow. Instead of building a motor, hoist a sail. Instead of sending a rocket, build a telescope. Etc.

They already are. The Merge refers to the fact that the PoS chain has been running parallel to the main chain for one year now. It has been thoroughly tested live and so now will be merged back into the main chain like a branch of a git rep

I was a big Uber eats user out of laziness and the rewards program actually cost me something like $10 per month and saved me $50 or 60 per month.

If you believe any of what Bob Lazar described, the government may know enough to get craft to liftoff and maneuver but not actually understand the power source yet. Like dropping an electric car into the Middle Ages. Someone will press the

I am a fan of this talk. Working on the sysadmin/devops/sre side of enterprises, I originally found the transition from manual installs to things like puppet and then to docker containers and surrounding tooling refreshing. Buildi

I appreciate your comment about pay. Recruiters will often tell me "it's finance so of course the pay will be substantial." Then when we get to talking numbers they're like "300k a year". Oh, you mean the going

Interestingly, Breath demonstrates that what we used to think is an O2 advantage is actually a CO2 advantage.

These are good questions and I think it’s nowhere near as rosy as OP described.

Strongly agree with this take. The money flows to the banks and then flows into investments. The capitalist class has grown obscenely wealthy while the rest of society has stagnated.

People who write these articles will talk for an hour straight about their favorite window manager, why it should actually be called Gnu/Linux, or why it’s “free as in beer”.

Everyone should consider Victoria Metrics anyway. It scales better performance wise, and they broke out components to improve scalability (vmagent, vmalert, etc) when Prometheus was just one huge process that did all the things. The two wor

Honestly I would guess part of it is that streaming is supposed to be a performance increase. So during a performance related outage, it might be easy to overlook. Am I really going to turn off a feature that I think is actually helping the

Strongly disagree. The playful nature that Alan Watts conveys ideas with completely blew my mind. He combined so many influences. Entertaining or not by his own admission, it’s a hundred, a thousand times more accessible. At its core it is

How would you remember all this in life without todo lists? I have a list full of tasks for upkeep on my living space, cooking, work, side projects, family. So many of what I call administrative tasks - mail a check, file car registration,
