I hated it. Much better from akamai, tornado, kamatera, others. I gave it a try -- Google offered a free tier vps which was a no brainer. It worked but the ui seemed jank and somewhat confusing. The cost wasn't particularly compelling,

No, wayland already differentiates itsself from X11 because X is a tool for graphical network terminals and Wayland is a tool for single machine rendering. X11 is a mountain of tech debt that almost nobody wants to maintain.

I respectfully disagree. I think that stock buybacks distort the market and dividends don't. If our markets could be either based on A: a nice story or B: reliable profits, the choice for stability and growth is bright and clear.

I agree big time. This distorts the markets, undermines financial disclosures, and probably stifles innovation. In your example, when Amazon invests in Anthropic, do they then get voting shares and a say where the opex go? (Rhetorical) Why

I mean management is going to think the stock is always undervalued. Slightly offtopic: If a company does a stock buyback because they think its undervalued, what happens next? Does the stock go up and they're satisfied? Does the stock

Do you think its smart to structure commercial ventures this way? In a different space, is it a great idea for a farmer to sell %10 of their venture to John Deere for the tractor?

Point taken here, but do come off it. Afghanistan is extremely difficult to control and has been for thousands of years.

Yeah I feel ya, but a year into GW bush part 2 isn’t on the horizon of a democrat administration it was a year into the reelection, the weirdos in the Mark of the Beast camp weren’t the party yet. This is part of the thread that became FEMA

No, the right wing fielded opposition to the real ID laws. See this 2008 CATO report[0]. There was a bipartisan movement against this at the time. But yes, far less bothered by stingrays, ALPR national surveillance, etc in more recent times

No ... its more like "I'm making so many GPUs and have so much money already. You don't have GPUs so how about I give you GPUs in exchange for partial ownership in your business so you don't have to put this capex on you

the bubble would hit Nvidia just about as hard regardless since their valuation and revenue is already bound to their monopoly on the compute.

Well, in the 90s through the late 2000s there was a LOT of paranoia from the right, especially the evangelical right, as well as the milieu that is sorta called the "patriot movement" which includes minutemen militias, sovereign c

God that sounds so crazy. Its giving me "sell our municipal water to Private Equity to buy a park, imagine the tax revenue!" vibes except its just diluting the shares. It feels like economics in the US is turning into FanDuel mobi

It feels like poor technical leadership to me. Who knows how large that team was, maybe its 2-3 people, but it also sounds like they don't know how to manage them. The flip side is now there's nobody else to troubleshoot when the

I dunno, it doesn't pass the smell test that for a decade everyone was adding useless products and now in '25 they're all having their come-to-jesus. I also don't that buy everyone is firing to spend on AI either.

Hey, I’m not a lawyer and also probably pissing in the wind here, but isn’t firing like 14k people for not financial reasons a giant ass wrongful termination suit?

I’m definitely not a Marx expert, but: No no no. Marx being such an obscure figure with little impact on the course of modern history, it doesn’t surprise me that you never got a chance to read it, but alienation is definitely “talked about

It’s very frustrating when non-residents or citizens have such strong opinions on US policy like this. We do have those programs ("coding for people who work manual labor jobs living in rural America") already and we have for quit

Tesla is married to the designs because of the way that they’re manufactured. For example Tesla uses a very large press to make the Y monocoque body in one or two pieces. They get a lot of their manufacturing capability this way, reducing a

There are plenty of very, very good EV out there, have been for years but those other automakers are already servicing shareholders with pretty reliable profits. As a result they just treat ev and hybrids like any other model for the most p
