Really good point. I feel really lucky making the money I do with the responsibilities I currently have. But posts like this make me feel some amount of FOMO. Responses like yours add good perspective these posts seem to be missing

There was so much coming out of vice that it’s hard to paint the whole company as a poor journalistic endeavor. Yes, some was bad. Some was good. It seems all media corps go that way in the end

> Why not just.. well, let poor people come first? I recently listened to an NPR piece on this and it seems like you're right here. Even with affirmative action you're really only affecting those that are going to elite college

Agreed, I think OP will get there eventually but it's just going to take a lot of work taking into account the change of work domains.

In theory, they could do this, but local power companies are so regulated and bureaucratic that they'd never be able to take on building and maintaining charging stations for cars. At least that's how it is where I live (I have fa

Tesla isn't doing this out of the kindness of their heart, they make money off of charging cars. I bet the money they make off of charging stations comes easier too. Like they really just need to pay for maintenance. Compared to buildi

I don't think the payment was the main issue, it's always been the overall reliability of the chargers not being great.

My org uses serverless to great success. I highly recommend trying it out if you haven't. It's just so nice to create a function and know we don't have to configure any part of the server to know it'll run, and then the

I don't use Svelte in my day-to-day (I use React) but I love reading about it and others in the space. We need new ideas and other packages are really pushing us forward!

OpenAI's motive here is clear as day. They want additional regulations for everyone else to create a barrier to entry into the industry they have an advantage. It's the same story as medical companies actually lobbying for more re

Unfortunately, this is a great example of how insulated and abnormal mastodon communities can be and part of why I don't think it will take off as we all want it to as a Twitter substitute. For the people who don't understand this

Jaw dropped looking at that. Absolutely disgusting business practice. Glad the FTC is stepping in.

I think we’re still at the phase where people aren’t being affected enough personally. Once Florida is actually struggling with flooding to the point where thousands are forced to lose their homes, I could see some of those people start to

I have no interest in this device or what they promise, I'm just projecting based on the technological advancements I've experienced in my (relatively) short life.

Of course beliefs aren't passed down genetically, but they are likely to be passed down through a parent raising a child. It happens with adopted children too. For example, if both of your parents are Republicans, you are much more lik

Totally agree. In the past year, I've started getting my org into writing tests, and it's pretty hard to find the "right" way of doing things. Everyone is so opinionated, which is fine but they're all opinionated in

To predicate, it's totally fair to feel how you feel. I don't have children and I've gone back and forth on if I ever will. I have seemed to land on having children though, in part because of the technological advancements th

I posted about this before and one commenter said something that stayed with me. Something along the lines of if all the people that feared having children due to climate change didn't have children, the only people having children wou

A decade ago 8-15 minutes on an electric aircraft like this would be impossible. A decade from now we’ll be to an hour, which I’m sure would cover 99% of cases unless you really want to be droning state to state haha

I would take public transportation if it meant not having to take buses only. Without trams or metros within cities or fast trains between cities, there’s really no benefit to me using those services over my car (unfortunately) Buses are ch

I’ve used git successfully professionally for almost 10 years and I’m not lying when I say I’ve used rebase about 5 times. We just merge. We squash sometimes. I think it must be because I’ve always worked in smaller orgs but rebase just see

Based on the headline I assumed the app would make immigration easier, but it's really just an additional step. The US can keep trying to make it harder, but it will just mean more immigrants will enter the US through illegal channels

One bad decision after another. I know individual action doesn't really matter but I have deleted my Reddit account and hope others do the same.

So disappointing. Google domains is such a clean interface for buying domains, I really thought it was one of the few Google products that would last. They’re really not afraid to burn their customers over there at Google
