Are people actually not leaving? I had not used Twitter in about a year and a half until last week. I went there and it took 20 seconds to load the web app, then after I logged in it was Elon getting promoted, ads that look like mostly spam

I wouldn't necessarily call them fake, but the issue often has to be big enough for most companies to admit to it. AWS often has smaller outages that they will never acknowledge.

From my experience, GitHub is the best out there when it comes to updating their status page.

The big players are just late to the game, but have been making cars for decades. They will easily overtake Tesla on number of EVs built as they transition. Tesla isn’t good at making cars. And every year my confidence in full self driving

You can use lit components within Next, or within anything really. If you’re building a single app, use what you’re comfortable with. At my job, we’re often creating components that need to be used within an increasing number of frameworks

The statement cracks me up. Without these exchanges, crypto would still be a small blip on the radar. It would continue to be nothing but a hobby for techies, libertarians, and techie libertarians, forever. If it's ever going to become

Has anyone ever thought of Facebook as a pioneer in anything? They've made some smart purchases and stole a few ideas. I feel like their entire existence is based on right place, right time.

Considering Web3 is mostly used as a marketing scam, it usually has "to do" with everything.

While the study may be bunk, anecdotally, finding a sleeping mask that worked for me (stayed on, wasn’t uncomfortable, kept all light out) has been a game changer in sleep quality. Better sleep has always brought more benefits to my day, so

Wrong. They’re not losing that much money because of theft. They thought they could come into these neighborhoods and profit and it turns out they were wrong. They’re the bad guys, go look up how much these stores were not wanted by its res

The people didn’t trust them. Walmart came in with all types of promises of economic development but the people did not want those stores. They lied thinking they could still profit and now in a short time they destroyed alternatives and ar

Because they fought very hard to open those stores over the last 20 years in the very neighborhoods you’re talking about. While at the same time forcing out smaller stores that were there for decades. What changed?

Welcome to our world in Chicago, where we have been living in a hellhole for about a decade. There is a lot more violent crime here than SF but it is almost all in small pockets of the city. This is simply a narrative that certain people ar

If there's one thing I've learned about American politics in my adult life, it's that large changes like "unfucking" our healthcare system do not happen over night. It takes incremental changes over many years, perh

> I view the ACA as guaranteeing private health insurance companies a future instead of granting them the death penalty like the country needs. It was a step in the right direction at the time. We’ve done nothing to improve upon it since

I get the feeling they already do? My return was accepted in precisely 31 minutes this year. Not super complex but there were multiple things they had no idea about.

Most Chicagoans I know do not eat deep dish often, nor do they even really like it. But...as someone else said, this isn't really the alternative. The crust is just plain wrong.

It seems all YouTube has really done is offer massive contracts to Twitch streamers to poach them. It’s still a terrible streaming platform. Unless you already have a well established audience, you’re not going anywhere there. As for Kick,

It will never end but interest can wane enough that it becomes obsolete. Each scam that gets exposed further destroys confidence in it and that's really all it has going for it.

I think you're missing the point. It's not about value, it's about means. $8/month could mean a lot or mean very little to your finances. That doesn't mean the person that can afford it is any more valuable to the c

Chicago's downtown at least feels like it's coming back. I'm not sure how, I guess a higher percentage of people back in the office compared to a city like SF. My company barely uses our office now but I used it most of last

I think you're overestimating what's necessary for online to be successful. GTA V is almost 10 years old and still raking in cash from online. The focus does not need to be on online play for it to be successful, they have billion

The only way cryptocurrency goes mainstream is with these middlemen you speak of. Do you really think the average person has the knowledge and time to manage this themselves? It is far from decentralized, but the entire idea of a decentrali
