lol. This is how you end up with that scene in idiocracy where you find out you get your college degrees at Costco.

I can’t stop chuckling at how many people have talked me up about how innovative their structure was. It’s funny how trendy things are even when they make no sense.

What evidence do you have that this would be a good thing? And to the larger question, which I hear all the time, what does “starting from scratch” even mean when it comes to ongoing health care? You can’t seriously argue that we should ris

This beauty dies with the case you have to put on all that unprotected glass. Jobs would have had a wallop of a joke for this one.

> But it's also going to be a problem for Google because it has already said it is trying to influence the way its AI produces results. Goodness. Instead of building a digital twin to be of service and partnership with society, it

A good data center can sell you a sustained 10Gbps for, and I’m guessing at going rate, but like 4-7k a month? If you’re making a commitment cheaper, and that’s basically a retail pipe for someone in a colocated facility. For larger provide

I’m stunned there is no way to limit spend and have warning and a cap on a service like that. You should be able to specify billing thresholds and have sensible defaults when the downside is basically unlimited. Basic customer UX.

As long as they can reinvest the extra to keep up with inflation. It’s a reminder of what can be done when billionaires give back and pass it through to society instead of passing it along to their heirs. This kindness is going to change th

Not to counterpoint, but just for the sake of discussion, i kind of want the opposite but for maybe similar reasons. I want flexible robots that can replace my human labor. I don’t want specialist robots that are obligate specialists. Laund

It’s interesting to watch this company operate and see just how much better SpaceX is at PR and how internet native their broadcasts annd PR efforts are — they are head and shoulders better than their competitors. I really am stoked to see

I don’t think people realize that Government contracting doesn’t make you a Government entity. As far as anyone is concerned day-to-day, they’re just an important client. This is a day to celebrate. This is a momentous achievement and I can

Once. In 1983. And management theory has been forever trying to do it again.

I do and that’s actually a great comeback because that was also deeply uninspired.

I won’t pay for YouTube as long as they keep trying to make Shorts happen. It’s everything I dislike about the Internet in one feature. Edit: Why would this get downvoted? Do people really find value in shorts?

Tv has become so insufferable boring that my entire household has stopped watching, except for YouTube. Audible has been picking up and people who live in my house are actually reading books again.

Certainly not my intention to waste time or focus on issues that aren’t relevant like your insinuating. Let’s leave it here and keep it polite as I respect your point and appreciate the real effort to talk about it with me. I don’t want you

It truly is the most mid, uninspired corporate logo I’ve seen in a while.

But to generalize GE as a case study is still incorrect. They are an atypical example. We can find any metaphor we want, cite one or two example companies like GE (and it was bad company management not the fact that they were in finance t

The idea of banning the flipper is like banning legos because you can build lockpicks out of them — it’s just nonsensical politician logic.

That was my first thought as well — like who is the audience for this? My first thought was that you could stay on Postgres and save that $100 by using the secret power of Open Source. Well said.

GE’s decline wasn’t because they offered financial services. It's a textbook case of mismanagement of an overly complex business. Tons of companies offer financing for products they manufacture just like car companies have done so sin

It’s exactly the same thing. I don’t know why people think it’s conspiracy to provide financing with equipment sales.

It’s astonishing to look at the future and realize that all of this capacity is being created because of the forecast expansion of technology. Like, how crazy integrated into everything are we going to get? Sam’s massive fab for AI chips al

> The majority of traffic from and on x may be fake. There I fixed it. The question should also be, “how much of the general Internet is similarly faked?” How could anyone ever tell if it wasn’t badly done?

Not a conspiracy at all and I think you’re kind of missing the point in asking about with that statement. I am asking if anyone is becoming aware of the machine that seems to be shaping public opinion and how difficult it is to even talk ab

Yea it could be. That’s certainly a rational and well thought out explanation. But how would we ever be able to tell if there was a deliberate campaign or not? The man has himself tried to assemble a social media network and his own informa
