This is a better solution. I think a lot of high speed rail enthusiasts think that if we build the passengers will come. Its really unproven, I think American cities are so different to most of the world high speed rail would be unpopular.

I work for a bank and we're banned from using AI because of the privacy problem. I'd think there is a big market for a product like this.

Even those dont solve the drip problem. The only solution is the ones with the grate you stand on.

I like the idea. I read a bunch of classics from Gutenberg. In reality so many old books are very long and boring I ended up getting more modern books from the library instead. Maybe TikTok ruined me but maybe these things really do literal

Crazy thing is at the same time so many students are way overqualified - 13 APs, 1580 SAT isn't enough to get into a T10 university. Is it really a case of just a bimodal population? Or something else?

Given the trade war, and the lack of non-American software companies I'd love to see encouragement of open source to replace Microsoft/Oracle/Salesforce etc etc. Its a good time to force privacy laws or even bans on Meta&#x2F

I wish CSV could have headers for meta data. And schemas would be awesome. And pipes as well to avoid the commas in strings problem.

The dumb thing is you know the USA has a backdoor onto everything, probably including Tiktok by now. European states are trying to play fair when everyone else broke the rules a long time ago. What we really need is a European social media

The best thing about Go is no Spring framework. I like Java but finding Java projects without Spring is difficult.

Thanks for talking your experience! Honestly at this stage I hope she doesn't get in and we wont have to make the choice.

This can go wrong, as I found. Management and Tech leadership are focussed on the new projects with latest technology - they pay the biggest bucks for these and no one really cares about the devs maintaining the old stuff - even if importan

I use the libby app on Kobo to get books from the library. Its just what I need. I can add epubs and pdfs from dropbox but never use that any more.

They are a little bit different because it operates more like a search tool. Its the first real company that is a good replacement for Google.

> all for free because that's how cheap it is for them to run. No, these AI companies are burning through huge amounts of cash to keep the thing running. They're competing for market share - the real question is will anyone eve

BYD is unique because it can leverage the Chinese government's push into EVs along with the lax environmental regulation giving cheap batteries & other components. I dont think anyone can compete with Chinese car makers.

Who knows, maybe the private valuations are even higher, or maybe they think there will be a boom this year which will be a better time to sell.
