I saw “The Menu” and “Palm Springs” having never even heard of them. I would highly recommend both, especially if you know nothing about them.

The number of large companies that practice this "you're too small for us to care about your complicated question, even if it's billing related" system is too large.

I dunno, we're using a recurring billing provider. There's a lot of times reading the source would have been more productive than talking to support.

40% of people with student loans didn't graduate. Lots of those people probably aren't the "smartest and most privileged" you're thinking about. This video "What everyone gets wrong about student loans" re

What about prioritizing paying the people who made the content these models are using without consent?

I think there’s also the whole “the people with the wrist bands -want- them to work” part. Which is super helpful. Yes, you could hide your band under your hand, now it’s not glowing like everyone else’s… congrats you feel left out.

So many parts of the financial system only work because there’s take-backsies. Taking back a wire transfer seems to basically involve someone at your bank phoning a friend, and it all works in the end.

A lot of smart people discover their fully redundant architecture has a single point of failure during an outage. AWS has had a fair number of large profile outages and service degradation, including a few that crossed zones, even though th

I don't own an EV. When I hear about Tesla and the Supercharger network what I hear about most is how easy it was to plan long trips. A road trip on gas is easy, there's a gas station in every town with a few thousand people, fast

Not related to title, but I'm most excited about "Usage-based billing upgrade". Their offerings for recurring billing have been lacking for a long time. I'd love to drop the recurring provider we've currently got on

I think there's another side to this. There's weather, and there's "It's winter". I don't think it's reasonable for airlines to expect to maintain the same number of departures that worked in the nice

I don’t know that you’re being fair. Their name is “namecheap”. It’s hard to lean in on anything premium when “cheap” is in your name.

I mean stripe seems to be doing fine with an even more generic name.

I loved splunk when I worked somewhere a VC was paying the bill. For my own project I could never really understand which of their various offerings was the one I needed, let alone could afford. That said, watching someone really good with

The coloring page that should have shown my son and daughter sitting on a bench that looked like a bear waving magic wands… turned my son into a girl with Princess Leia hair, and my daughter into a anthropomorphized bear, no wands. Fun, but

If the software doesn’t report that it suspects it’s in a vm at test taking time, but instead records data for later analysis the test taker is leaving themselves open for a lot of problems months down the road.

I used to live in Montreal. Cabs there need to get a safety inspection like every 6 months. Talking to some cab drivers there, many of them remarked that the people doing the safety exam -had- to find something. Your car could have been fre

Every modern slot machine I’ve used will show you exactly that information. It’s somewhere in a help menu. It’s not at all comprehensible, imagine boilerplate TOS from a big company, with a third year statistics course mixed in. But it’s th

Big cloud providers have good IPv6 support. The long tail is terrible. We work with ~200 different hosting providers, half of them have no IPv6 support at all, another ~15% it only works occasionally and they clearly don't monitor it.

1. The local library at least paid for those books. Which is more than the creators of the current AI generation can say[1]. 2. You can't train people exclusively on books. If you asked someone to explain a concept they learned in thos

I don't think something being hard, should mean it just doesn't have to happen. "It's too hard to figure out whose work we used, so we just won't?" I also think it's unfortunate that writers, bloggers, pho
