That map makes it look extremely crowded. Actual relative satellite size is many magnitudes smaller than each of those 1-pixel representations.

I see one single comment from a person who self-identifies themselves as a 50yo male. Nothing in his comment could be reasonably interpreted as "bragging." Where are you seeing "a ton of old guys bragging"?

Many people haven't, but thanks to the wide world of cross-site tracking, frequent shopping cards etc, your purchases can still be attributed to ads you've seen (and even billboards!)

The only ones making the HPV vaccine "political" are the morons who think it shouldn't be administered because it increases promiscuity, or the ones who mistakenly think vaccines cause more harm than they help.

Completely disagree, given algorithms artificially boost content. The comparison to being an "online town square" is inapt, and I think a lot of people pushing that particular narrative actually know it too.

You're asking how breaking the law is cheating? If not, can you clarify your question?

Despite advertising themselves as such, the party hasn't been for actual small government at least during my entire lifetime (40+ years).

I mean... their stock is up more than 1,000% since 2014. Anyone who has been there for a few years should have multiple refreshers that have grown significantly in value.

They literally don't. Data is their moat; selling it would be counter to their financial success.

You think not being allowed to write any code manually is the norm?

> "You shouldn't be manually writing any code". Can someone explain how this mentality could possibly be rational? It sounds completely asinine to me, and I use AI quite a bit for my job. In fact, the team at my work that

Why would a self-described "AI Engineer" be any more capable of building that sort of functionality over any other backend engineer, especially one who is familiar with agent-assisted development?

Considering 99% of engineers are using AI tools, that would mean all engineers are now "Agentic Engineers." Are we really no longer putting any value on someone who has expertise in understanding the code it produces?

Hopefully retire, because I'd literally rather be dead than go much deeper into this shitty corporate world borne of AI.

That number is grossly inflated for every S-1. It's about as close to meaningless as you could possibly get. For example, I used to work for an insurance-related tech company. They claimed their TAM was $9T-- the value of the entire gl
