Doesn’t matter. Simply defending against the claim costs significant money, and you can’t recover those costs. Best to avoid the claim altogether.

I see median human drivers all of the time, and I see median FSD all of the time. I don’t need to drive a billion miles to have a valid opinion that one is better than the other. I’m sure things are very different out around the edges, as

Why do people always say this? It’s ok to just start coding with a public repo. Code isn’t a secret.

I used to think this, but then I got a Model 3. I believe that FSD is presently better than most humans driving today even when they are theoretically “fully engaged in manual driving”. FSD doesn’t lull humans into a false sense of securit

Autopilot is opt-in. You can drive it like any other car and never use autopilot.

You can’t own knowledge. Intellectual property is a legal fiction invented to prop up industries. You can no more own knowledge or information than you can own the number 2.

My take on this is that, while it’s harder to read code than it is to write it - it’s still faster to read code than to write it (it’s just not as much fun).

You should not underestimate the median level of incompetence and unprofessionalism among low level Chase employees. I had one call the police on me recently for (non-surreptitiously) recording our interaction as we conducted a safe deposit

Many of the popular features in VS Code are provided by plugins that are not open source and thus not provided with VSCodium.

No. It’s always something you have to turn on or log into. Also, there are plenty of editors and IDEs that don’t. Let’s stop pretending like you’re being forced into this. You aren’t.

The problem with this is that key generation is free, so being a well-behaved unknown bot is the same as being an unidentified bot, which means that you go in the block/captcha/throttle bucket. It is only useful for whitelisting b

When you are managing a $500k-1M+ liquid net worth. I think Chase starts “Private Client” at $250 or $300k. (Don’t use Chase, however.) It might in some cases be more trouble than it is worth, if you are right around the threshold. A “norm

I too have a “Chase is pathological and untrustworthy” business banking story. https://sneak.berlin/20191119/your-money-isnt-yours/ I finally just closed all my accounts there. It feels great. Fuck Chase.

Why is it Amazon’s fault that people voluntarily choose to use Amazon? Even with the massive margins, cloud computing is far cheaper for most SMEs than hiring an FTE sysadmin and racking machines in a colo. The problem is that people forget

There are tons of mini-itx N100 boards with onboard 2.5G or 10G ethernet and 6-8 sata ports for a few hundred bucks available (on Amazon for example). search “n100 mini itx nas”. There are also some decent 6 and 8 bay mini-itx cases. I wen

The fact that Asahi doesn’t run on M4 cpus (ie the current Mac Mini) is also a consideration. ZFS on macOS sucks really bad, too, so that rules out the obvious alternative.

I agree that that is ridiculous, but for many definitions of “for work”, $20k/year is well within the low end of “cost of doing business”. I spend that much on computer hardware, and again that much on cloud services, and again that mu

Why would you kneecap yourself on hardware and get a Pixel over an iPhone if not to install Graphene as the very first action post-unboxing? Graphene is the only reason I own any pixel devices.
