That's exactly what I thought of. It's cool but it's been done. The telectroscope had a fun story too.

Fossil fuel industry is 100% guaranteed to be doomed. Coal towns were already killed by fracking before renewables got off the ground.

I can't believe OpenAI employees threatened to mutiny so their CEO could exploit them for more personal wealth. Meanwhile Anthropic now has the highest-rated model.

This seems like a perfectly valid tradeoff if it leads to the end of mines, oil rigs and fracking.

The subprime crisis is why there is a lack of supply. Home construction cratered for years after the 2007-8 shock. When recovery took hold, we had a enormous deficit in available supply and are nowhere near closing it. Figure 3 tells the ta

They just don't do UX or product strategy or UAT or any of the things that aren't technical. They always have cool designs and sophisticated features but they just don't match how people live.

In your elaborate fantasy there is no upper limit to how sophisticated Boeing's execution squad is, but they can't keep their planes in the air.

I honestly wonder why not just write your web server in node or something. It would be traceable and testable and probably performant enough. There's just so much arcana inside platforms like traefik or nginx where they do all this mir

If it's AWS there's basically nothing like this available as default. There are transcoding services and edge functions but you need to set them up yourself.

OP3 is a great tool and a great idea, but unfortunately the reason most existing prefixes have so much market share is because they are tied in to advertising. Podtrac is the biggest player despite being a crummy analytics tool because podc

If you look at any major podcast, they likely already have 2 or 3 of these. They're rarely a problem. OP3 in particular is Cloudflare workers IIRC so it's about as reliable as Cloudflare.

The fundamental point here is that Palestine is not a sovereign nation. Gaza and the West Bank are both essentially colonies of Israel. In the case of West Bank, territory is being slowly appropriated. And Gaza is like an open-air prison. T

So, for one, you just glossed over my point. Namely, no otherwise legitimate corporation has ever killed a whistleblower. Secondly, this tree-cutting service was run by two people who were caught. Boeing could not possibly pull of a murder-

I mean, that's not exactly the same. These guys were running a local tree-cutting serving, not a Fortune 500. And they weren't just accused of negligent business practice, they were accused of human trafficking and theft. They mur

A friend died at 40 from lung cancer despite never smoking. It's rare but it happens. How many proven assassinations of corporate whistleblowers have happened in the US? I think it's zero in the last 100 years at least.

The war has gone quiet, but Gaza is starving, their hospitals are destroyed and Netanyahu has indicated nothing will stop him from invading Rafah. I live in NYC and do not give the slightest shit about people occupying Columbia University.

If you're on AWS you can use something like Athena or you can load data from csv/parquet in S3 into Redshift. But yeah, not directly within RDS Postgres to my knowledge.

Also GHB. Sodium oxybate is currently schedule III, but it's basically just a bit of chemical sleight of hand to allow GHB to be prescribed.
