I don't think it would be bad for equity in any way. It might actually be good instead actually. First, the general public would have more disposable income if we shift more of the tax burden on the ultra rich. Second, people like Elon

In India, you've got lots of relatively-speaking well-off people. And extreme poverty that would shock and boggle the mind. Poverty worse than in sub-Saharan Africa. Millions of the "middle class" (which is just making over $

Is this true for all carriers? Or just Verizon? Several Reddit threads say that it's just Verizon. T-Mobile users report being able to bootloader unlock after getting their phones carrier unlocked by T-Mobile.

You're implying that the U.S. securities worth hundreds of billions held by a nation will be under threat of theft (by the U.S. government itself?) because the nation doesn't "have bargaining chips"? So the U.S. will beg

A sovereign wealth fund with over $1 trillion USD (so with over $1 million per Emirati citizen) which invests heavily in U.S. equities will be sold for pennies? So U.S. equities will be sold for pennies? Are you predicting a U.S. stock mark

This is pretty darn awesome. I haven’t checked it out yet, but I’m already psyched about it.

Eventually, if they’re old stock European-American, that essentially means that they’re the descendants of invaders (i.e. illegal immigrants who never got the consent of the Native Americans to settle).

This is factually wrong. Freedom of speech (1st am.) is for all.

The stuff coming out of young republicans is beyond the pale. These kids are making vile jokes about doing a genocide / Holocaust of Democrats, minorities, their political opponents, etc. And they’ve been consistently doing it for so l

Does S3 really have that high of a latency? So high that —— if you run a static file several in an EC2, would that be faster than S3?

> purpose of allowing US companies to hire truly exceptional foreign workers You're wrong on the purpose of it. The O-1 visa is for "exceptional" workers. The H-1B is for normal people.

That's an interesting concept. We could take that concept in general , and a person could write 100 essays (that they publish on whatever platform), and these 100 essays could comprise their magnum opus.

We need legislation mandating that all hardware[a] have at least one fully-functional[b] open source driver for any operating system[c]. And that any device with a microprocessor with writable memory permit custom software to be run on it.

This is amazing, and truly impressive. What's the best place to submit issues, feature requests, etc? Something I use on Obsidian is my own CSS as a theme (to override default editor styling). I see themes is a feature of Octarine. Wil

How is Rust in terms of incremental compile time? Is incrementally recompiling on file in a large project quick? Hopefully link times aren't that bad. One thing I like about the JVM is hot code reloading. Most of the time, changes insi

Yup, that's what I do. Even for personal projects, with the flurry of changes Claude/other AI assistants make, a branch makes it easier for me to compare changes. Often I have a branch with multiple commits on it, with each commit

Was this very recent? The job markets for software engineers has been horrid, at least from mid 2022 to mid 2025. Maybe it’s changed now? Anecdotally, I know a few engineers with 10+ YOE in NYC, Seattle, and California, all with actual FAAN

Caddy did it almost a decade ago. IIRC it had some form of automatic Let’s Encrypt HTTPS back in 2016. So Nginx is just about 9 to 10 years late. Lol

I’m actually finding Claude 4 Sonnet’s thinking model to be too slow to meet my needs. It literally takes several minutes per query on Cursor. So running it locally is the exact opposite of what I’m looking for. Rather, I’m willing to pay m

So basically we need software that can 100% autonomously fly a plane. Software that is extremely reliable and trustworthy, basically. Software with multiple fallback options. Multiple AI agents verifying every action this software takes. Pl
