My problem with e-bikes is my problem with regular bikes. Riding on the sidewalk is generally not permitted and I don't trust drivers in cars to not murder me while driving in the street.

I ride the bus and I can promise you I don't do it because of luxury. Even if that was true, it would only be true in North America. In the rest of the developed world, public transport extends out into rural areas.

This is what I would try. Let Amazon do the fulfillment and pray you sell out before Chinese brands on Amazon catch wind.

Kickstarter will not lose any trust with this decision and if anything they probably gained a decent amount of goodwill from artist and their fanbases.

You say this as if Meta and Microsoft don't also have bottomless pockets.

I mention effort because Microsoft hasn't even tried to put a real attempt into competing with Google on maps before claiming a monopoly. Tried nothing and completely out of ideas must be an impenetrable monopoly. To compare it with th

Exhausted with people abusing and misusing the word monopoly. A monopoly and having market dominance are not the same thing. Google has put far more effort into Google Maps than Microsoft ever has into Bing Maps.

He doesn't. It is pretty much a throwaway comment that he quickly moves passed.

At one point in the video, Rossman does imply that he is getting special attention because tech lobbyists (i.e. Apple) are trying to attack him because he lobbies against Apple when it comes to Right to Repair and has done so for years. Not

This is wrong and you should just watch the video before getting on your soapbox. Or at least click on it and see the title which almost certainly tells you why.

C++ is heavily customized C. The heavy customization make Redshift a columnar database and more ideal for querying large amounts of data quickly. How does Timescale help Postgres in this area?

The irony of bypassing the paywall to an article talking about publications dying and how hard it is for publications to make money.

As much as I understand the reasoning behind this thought, I do not agree with it. Yes, my devices are tools and as much as possible, I'd like to keep my tools looking nice. For me, part of that is having a nice wallpaper. I am forced

Is it? Can't people read your DMs on Mastodon as well? If that is your concern then seems like all things are equal. I'm being somewhat obtuse but I don't see how Mastodon is a reasonable replacement for Twitter.

Why would Spotify allow you to replace payment processor? App developers make this complaint about Apple and Google because the App devs are actually selling something. In this case you are buying a service from Spotify. It literally makes

There is no good "book" but the fine team over at GDQuest do a lot of written material in addition to their video courses. Their 2D Secrets course is entirely written with no video accompaniment. My suggestion is go through the do

This still assumes the person in question has the time or desire to tinker around with stuff. Not everyone is a tech geek who wants to tinker around with stuff. What the parent post is saying is these things are off-limits to those people.

You may prefer this model but many people will not and it will only further the moaning and groaning about ads and sponsorships on the web. There is no model here isn't without trade-offs.

I wouldn't call my company reasonably technical and we frequently hit barriers in AWS. Twitter has no chance on AWS.

That's fine and you're welcome to think that. I would throw the baby out with the bathwater and assume the book is trash because it uses a technique you don't approve think is most efficient.

This is where I imagine things are going to get into trouble because how are you going to determine what is AI and what isn't? Especially when Stable Diffusion is directly classifying artist and cloning their signatures and watermarks.

You may disagree with it but mnemonics are very helpful for remembering information that has no relationship to things you already know. I used my own set of mnemonics to learn hiragana and katakana when I first started.

I don't believe they are framing it as if it is not art. The problem they are raising and that it is an AI trained on other peoples' art down to copying their signature making it appear as if it were a genuine piece from that arti
