I started subscribing in like October and haven't been searching much since the new year cause I've been really busy. I think I have also noticed this quality degradation, and also the results taking much longer. I'm not gonn

As a pretty new subscriber, can you tell me a bit more about this? Using bing under the hood is part of what eventually made me leave DDG. And I'm not particularly excited about using brave services. When what this change made and what

Isn't there something really perfect about people working on a language model either not trying or outright failing to use that language model to tell them if their project name already exists? On their github they reference a related

I don't understand why people don't instantly recognize this as an evolution in the cat and mouse game of "is this search result actually an ad". You can't inspect the production model, you can't inspect the in

A lot of words to say: "cutting short term spend to bolster the stock price for investors who are worried about the USD peg"

It's complicated. Yes, Apple is creating an advertising monopoly for themselves (obviously only for folks within their ecosystem). No I don't like that personally. Are they replicating the no-rules surveillance systems of the exis

You have posted many times in the thread saying the same thing, but slightly moderated because you got flagged. You said elsewhere "things change" regarding labor force quality. They do. Asian labor across the board, but especiall

Apple Music is their biggest competitor and they are very close in terms of userbase size. Apple Music is also (along with Tidal) one of the top places people go when they leave Spotify (for the various good reasons one might leave Spotify)

No, they didn't buy GitHub to shut Atom down. But they did create VSCode to cut off GitHub's growing expansion of their business through Atom. They could have just extended Atom with Azure plugins etc, but instead they essentially

Producing more value than you are compensated for ... hmmm what does that sound like? You could say it sounds like the human condition. Which employees in the pyramid do you think have the worst scalar here?

This description is not reassuring in any way.

There are a lot of both old and recent reasons to believe both of these examples have extremely terrible judgment.

For me, in this case, the specific arguments are exactly what matters. If your company claims a solid economic rationale they should provide one. I'm not sure how it's possible you've had this policy this long and can't

Thank you. I understand. I know PR is difficult and I really value the candor. I am very concerned personally about what Gitlab represents for my industry, but if you are all willing to speak directly to challenges on it that goes a very lo

It's mostly due to them not paying developers enough and also having a cavalier attitude about engineering concerns. Their free product is a loss leader designed to sell you their B2B and it doesn't need to be great it just needs

What do you think is the likely outcome here?

Can you name any of these non-public local adjusters? Cause all the remote workers I know make the same salary as their local counterparts.

Yeah, I completely agree, but the OP is speculation too, because it's from Scott Myers's reading of a blog post. If you go read his linked blog post (from Laura Baldwin, President of O'Reilly media) you can see they explain m

Yeah, sorry about that. The sandbox is a stress test and geometry doesn't get thrown away if you've ever loaded it. Can I ask what kind of hardware/browser you're running? Is it immediately unusable or only after loading
