How is blocking funding for the government going to balance the budget? It’s like you saying you’re going to get your spending under control by stopping to pay your credit cards. It’s just performative. Republicans had full control of all 3

Yes it’s shocking looking at food labels in the US how hard it is to avoid even basic foods without added sugar, which most of the time do not have it in European equivalent products.

Coming from a European country the USPS reliability and speed of delivery is impressive, you have no idea how good you have it for a country of this size. Teller service at the USPS now that is pretty terrible true, but if there is no inno

There were questions in the US with temperable voting machines in previous election cycles, Bush’s win against Kerry was especially suspicious with documented hackable systems, and one key voting machine manufacturer ceo even quoted as sayi

I’ve seen the same behavior. I wonder if these are learning instances for the AI or is it just dumbly going through a set of possible answers until the user is satisfied with the answer. If it’s the latter, it’s basically a fancy way of do

Live with it is ok now because effective vaccines are available. A lot of lockdown measures went overboard but that was hard to tell at the time, when NYC had overflowing hospitals that required mobile morgues due to the overwhelming number

Look out for anyone dehumanizing and demonizing whole groups of people, especially when it is people with political power doing that. That is the common thread, the one that allows entire populations to be conditioned to accept violence aga

Ah the whattaboutism rears its head. Trump is the first candidate to refuse to concede a loss in a presidential election, even announcing before the election that he would refuse to accept a loss. Clinton conceded to him even though she was

Airbnb removed the visible star ratings on comments sometime ago, clearly they are optimizing for hosts and maximizing bookings, to me as a long term user of the platform it’s made it worst and disincentives hosts from providing good custom

I think they mean you need a lot of staff to monitor and moderate for dangerous/illegal content on a global platform. Elon will just call anyone who shit posts so that won’t be needed apparently.

Managing AWS services also requires staffing, so most likely these would be the same people in a small organization. Self hosting in my experience can be very reliable if you over provision redundant enterprise grade hardware, once it’s ru

Russia thinks the cold war never ended and is extremely bitter about losing their empire. All western nations would have been content continuing to buy their oil and gas and couldn’t care less about Russia otherwise. This idea that the west

French sentiment will also include a very deep seated national memory of what happened the last time we let a dictator go unchecked in his expansionist madness.

Adobe has a long history of increased prices with stagnating products, the entire creative suite subscription pricing model is just so user hostile. I am not necessarily against subscriptions, but the complexity of the packages and dark pat

Yes that seems to be a mistake. Not sure what their core market is today, maybe they rely more on an enterprise sales channel. I’d still recommend checking them out, I just hope they stay in business because I like the pricing, feature set

Not publicly disclosed pricing is very annoying I agree, not sure why stackpath doesn’t disclose them but the pricing we got with them was much lower than others. Also last time I was researching waf+cdn services it seemed to me all were do

Stackpath (previously maxcdn) has cdn/waf/dns with ddos. The service is actually really good and pricing very competitive. Support is knowledgeable and very helpful and the cdn has extensive customization options. Only downside I’

The ikea setup might be worth a shot with the networking bridge they have to control multiple bulbs at once, but my experience with individual bulbs was bad.

In my experience the ikea bulbs are also awful, constant unpairing requiring multiple attempts to re-pair with the remote, especially if you have multiple bulbs in close proximity. In the end I gave up and just use them as normal bulbs. It
