I left Silicon Valley 5 years ago. Are people getting $1M+ loans with zero down these days?

Because you need to have enough saved for a downpayment?

It does feel like one of the side effects of containers is that now, instead of having to worry about dependencies on one host, you have to worry about dependencies for the host (because you can't just ignore security issues on the hos

Facing Worlds was really something. Getting absurd streaks mowing down bots wasn't particularly challenging but it sure felt good. And wine made it playable on FreeBSD which was quite something to behold. Especially when my friend laun

You may be "honest, weird" but that's not how I would describe the language you're using.

Some of the most racing fun I've had in video games was actually NASCAR games. The whole race was constant jostling for position. There was almost always someone within a car length/width, and zero room for error. From what I&#x27

I've spent time in restaurant kitchens around chefs that believed "some people need to be shocked awake". The people that got yelled at didn't do markedly better after getting yelled at, but they sure had a worse attitud

I watch a lot of k-dramas and all I can say is: that tracks.

This is painfully true. I went to a US university after high school in France and had a really hard time adjusting to the American style of essays. So many paragraphs with sentences crossed off for being too long, in particular. Hitting wor

They're comparing it to the price of other Samsung devices, and saying it's surprisingly not that much more expensive.

I know, I was just being... sassy. Partly because I didn't actually need to google it.

To be honest, for me it boiled down to "I don't have to type in my LUKS password by hand" combined with some intellectual curiosity. I didn't have some strong security-driven mindset behind it. That said I did also lock

I don't know how far "back then" is but I got on the internet in the 90s and people on freenode and other IRC networks making racist/sexist comments was definitely not a rarity. Edit: or actually, whatever predated freen

Tire pressure management was one of the striking differences between my experiences in France and in the US. In France, we'd check tire pressure at gas stations on nice machines that had built in dial gauges and were free. In the US, I

Indeed. As soon as lanzaboote works with stable, I'll go back to stable (but I think that is not the case yet, sadly). Lowkey plug for lanzaboote though. Getting secure boot working went pretty well for me thanks to it.

I remember the first time I heard about this, but it's been such a long time that I don't remember the details. IIRC, someone drowned, and someone else filmed it on camera instead of helping, and ended up on trial for "non as

The original comment was that the cars are Clio/Golf sized instead of SUV-sized. You countered that SUVs and crossovers are outselling other categories, but subcompact crossover SUVs like the Captur, Yaris Cross, 2008/3008, etc ar

Are you considering subcompact crossover SUVs SUVs because the letters are literally in the name?

Especially Western Europe, which is most definitely part of "the West" (by virtue of its political alignment, not its geographical location).

I lived in America (NJ and CA) for 25 years and plenty of people knew about The Little Prince. I've even seen people wearing shirts with the drawing of the snake that ate the elephant.

> do we really need a vacuum cleaner connected to a proprietary cloud? "Really need" is a such a high bar that you're basically ensuring a "no" answer, so why ask? Rhetorically? I think there are features that ca

Honestly don't see what this has to do with my comment, especially when I end my comment with: > I don't have a smart vacuum and none of my smart devices are devices I want to access when I'm not home, personally, so I&#x2

They wrote "some of which are basically brand new", which is technically correct. They didn't say the design was brand new.

I asked because I've seen other folks mention capitalizing things for emphasis so the LLM follows instructions more closely (which is one of those things that make me feel like the UX around LLMs is bananas).

Maybe people wonder what the point/relevance is? Is it that Gawker had lots of ads, so Kotaku would also have ads? What's relevant (to this thread) about Thiel killing it?
