I love Amazon and will continue to use their store. Just adding some balance here. I don’t immediately watch a clip and decide to protest.

It felt like I am going through HR training. Painful.

Yeah it’s still robotic, I just tried. When enunciating long conjugate parts of a sentence such as “A long windy snow filled country road”, it doesn’t know that this is a one set of adjectives describing a country road. It’s a dead give awa

I love vintage NPR, Car Talk defined my childhood. NPR used to be so amazing.

And let’s talk about deaths due to cold weather? I’m all for conserving the climate. The doom and gloom has been media’s staple for over 50 years. Now, it’s taking on the vibes of “We’ll all die if you don’t adopt authoritarianism. We want

It’s socialism under disguise. Gov props up various institutions to create jobs programs. Some of these are OK, but yes, I don’t want my tax payer funds in any culture stuff. In America, we have so much money dumping into bullshit DEI progr

Yea, totally OK except they have to ask me first. Telemetry has huge implications and it can be literally anything. Photos captured by a webcam can be “telemetry”, manf can always say we were verifying our image sensor calibration.

Yep, I can (as well as Bill Gates) has access to chatGPT for $20/month. Same for airline travel (with a difference of a comfy chair). Capitalism tends to edge towards maximality through high margin, high volume. Followed closely by low

Yeah, basically it needs to be Turing complete but it falls short. Then why not just give us Lua or some real programming language. There is no real need for a cryptic single line syntax.

By default, no telemetry. NO DATA OUT OF MY HOUSE WITHOUT EXPLICIT PERMISSION.

Very much agree, I do wonder how can things like crontab be specified? The cron job syntax is its own fricking thing that I have to always look up. But then, I wonder, how else can it be specified? yaml file?

Yeah, Schwab can track other accounts from Fidelity, Vanguard, etc. I’m probably a minority but I don’t micromanage my wealth. General account level information is good enough. I also do not trust wealth managers, usually their advice is te

“Maintained road system” is a joke in California, yet we pay some of the highest taxes in the world.

Except that in this case we have a reason to discriminate against asylum seekers: ITAR and highly sensitive military tech. There is absolutely zero reason to sue SpaceX except for political hitpoints.

That's not my argument though. A precise targetted case like this is rare. It is entirely political, has no bearing in rationality.

Yes, we need IDs to make sure they’re US citizens or green card holders in order to vote. How else would you know? We don’t check IDs to do the most basic thing that holds democracy together. The rest of the world requires ID to vote.

This types of lawsuits are NOT common. This is an extremely political prosecution by the DOJ. They know what they’re doing. Let’s not normalize this as common occurrence.

All of these institutions have been hijacked. Not just DOJ. We have lost where the north star is. My steel man argument is that Democrats are doing this for votes.

I think the word "exploitation" colloquially has the connotation of exploiting the poor as they cannot afford to leave the exploiting conditions. Exploitation is labor is never usually headlined in the context of $400k/year s

Yeah. NVidia was a docile looking company and in 2012, they were merely a gaming oriented hardware shop. These companies exist today. Which small or ignored companies do you think have a bright future?

SPAC Boom was coincident with money supply and one the most inflationary times. Median return of 2022 SPAC mergers was -82%, but so was pretty much all high P/E ratio companies. Cloudflare is down -72% from ATH in 2022. Defending again

"Starting broadly", it's so over man. We're done. Repealing regulations is doubly harder than instilling them.

Writing optimal regulation requires hard work and talking to experts, leaving behind cult-like religious ideological echo-chambers. Regulation will be written in such a way that it will neuter the entire industry unless we have good oversig

That fact check was full of bullshit. It does nothing to convince me it wasn’t intentional. There is no “fact checking” here. They agree it’s different colors and one is portraying rain in 2022 with red colors. Yeah… there is a reason why t

I love Twitter, if you curate a good audience, it's fun. Not a fan of bunch of changes going on, removing blocking would be a huge mistake.

I can't help but see some extreme media doom & gloom stories leading people to think we're all gonna die. Stuff like this: https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1679837601489096708 Also some interesti

I don’t see that as a problem. The problem is brainwashing (mostly well meaning progressives) into doom culture, it’s an easy way to justify extremely totalitarianism. We already went through that in the 70’s with nuclear power. Humanity wo
