Unfortunately this AI ship has the US economy lashed to its bow, and the moment it begins to founder we're all going to have to hold our breath for a while in the best case. Thought leaders are all out of ideas that don't have AI

This reminds me of the strange fact that the New Year used to be considered to be March 25th, so for a while people wrote dates in the months of January through March with 2 years like "10 January 1708/09" to resolve the ambi

Presumably companies could get around this with something like "your first 3 years are free, after that online play costs $X/month".

I'm curious how this would play out in the case that the company paid to license some software component that they can't open source.

I have a fair amount of experience in this industry, albeit a couple of years old now. I worked at Square on their payment risk team in 2015 and 2016, at Plaid om their ACH fraud API product called Signal from 2021 to 2024. At Plaid I was i

I'd be more surprised to hear that most folks made a habit of investigating the people whose articles we read. To be honest, I usually don't even look at the byline, let alone the rest of the website.

I guess this explains why in Japan very few of the motorcycles are loud. It's something I was surprised by when moving here from the US. It seems like in the US most (or perhaps many more) riders are being deliberately antisocial?
