If they're able to tie this back to a seedy tale of a crypto millionaire gone wrong, and can't blame it on the homeless, then what will they do?

The particular phrase you are looking for is "fuck you, pay me." With the help of ChatGPT, we can translate that to: "I must respectfully insist on receiving payment for the services rendered. Your prompt attention to this ma

Please don't do this here. A man has died, leaving family and friends, and an operating system (Android), and CashApp, among other things. Whatever you may feel about San Francisco, could you do it somewhere else please?

It's unclear if the accounting Microsoft is using to account for Azure is actually valid. Apparently a lot of Office revenue is being stuffed under the Azure division to inflate its numbers to make them look bigger than Google.

A pi-hole that null roots traffic? No, unfettered by TLS certificates and morals, the competitors site would show the item as being out of stock and drastically more expensive, and the store's closing early today.

Throw in some geopolitics then. Hack Russia for Ukraine if you have to feel like the scrappy underdog while working for "the man".

If you ask ChatGPT what 1/0 is, you get a paragraph as to why it's undefined. Nowhere does it use the phrase "NaN". Perhaps you need to adjust your humor filter, LLMs aren't quite there enough to be able to use NaN%

You can be sure Open AI isn't even paying Azure's punlishedy 3-year commitment pricing rate. The other thing to note is that OpenAI limits paying users to X queries per Y hours in GPT-4, something like 3 per 5. Which means the GPT

They are just giving away GPT-3 grade queries. In terms of revenue, that's NaN% gross margin! Thus, -10,000% gross margin is quite the improvement. While I personally don't think that they are spending quite that much on comp

The phase you're looking for is tax loss harvesting. A good money manager on a good fund will be able to take advantage of that in a down market, leading you to greater riches when there's a bull market. You can do it yourself, bu

$433mm sounds high but then again, Calendly's raised $350mm and 1Password's raised $920mm, so maybe that's just where things are these days. Without a view of Postman's internal roadmap, we can't say for certain wha

I would too. The problem is, like the mini phones, there aren't enough of us, and the profit margin small enough (manufactures make more money on luxury vehicles), that automakers don't see a point. Add in a great number of safety

That's only true if you squint real hard. Might as well say people are addicted to oxygen or food if you're going to oversimplify that far. Plenty of people are able to learn meaningful coping strategies for their ADHD and choose

I mean, I can't walk into a car dealership with $10,000 and tell them that's a big pile of money, and walk out with a $100,000 car, so I'm not sure why $100 million should get you $1,000 million of company, just because you a

What's interesting about the two photos on your blog is a lack of a lock. The scooters and bicycles where I am (SF) have a lock so they're locked to a bike rack while waiting, which prevents some classes of vandalizing. We had a p

That last one's good advice. There's nothing guaranteeing that a given YouTube video or article, or even website is going to stay up. If I really like a video, I'll try to download it just in case it gets pulled down - either
