Most do now. Most radio stations have a "now playing" window on their website, where you can see the last few songs played. If you dig in, it's a JSON with the last 10 or so songs. If you grab that JSON every 30 minutes, y

This is completely true. But there is something to be said for expert curation. Someone who spends their whole life studying these things so I don't have to.

I love the variety for sure, I just miss the curation and the shared culture. It's harder to find people in person who know the same music and TV that you do.

I've been saying this forever!! When I was a teen in the 90s, I got new music from the radio. The music director picked 40ish songs a week and that's what we listened to. I still like to listen to the radio for the curation. I

Just remember, the same things that make Bitcoin attractive are what make it really easy to steal. Namely that it has no "men with guns" to back it up and no government bank to make you whole.

The study was more in depth than that. It found that BART goes to more places that wealthy people go (financial district, SOMA, etc) than where poorer people need to go.

Yes, serverless doesn’t mean no servers. How is what Supabase offers different from what Neon offers from a user perspective?

What would you say they offer then if not serverless Postgres? You set up a database, you connect to it, they take care of the rest. It even scales to $0 if you don't use it. Is that not serverless Postgres?

Why would this give you pause? You just don't want the data to be where Databricks is? Either way, there are plenty of other serverless Postgres options out there, Supabase being one of the most popular.

The limits are there to limit corruption. If managers could set arbitrary salaries, the employees could just agree to cut their manager in on 10% of their raise. This probably happens outside of government, but it's just the private or

The percent improvement doesn't really matter though. The fact that it is better than even just professionals still means that there are fewer crashes, and therefore they are improving overall road safety.
