I get what they're saying, but part of me feels like the cost of the pro version (about $96 if paid annually) is a bit high just for the software and I still need to bring my own key. I think it'd be a better value if I bring my o

Neat idea! Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a repo so that the community can validate the privacy claims?

agreed! Name change is needed.

Towards the bottom of the article, I found the best tip (at least in my mind): "Buy month to month first. The clean pattern across every angry thread is prepaid annual plans meeting mid-term cuts. A monthly plan turns a quota change in

Not surprising at all. What are "action levels" supposed to do? It's basically a helpful suggestion to take action, but you don't have to. FDA obviously doesn't care about the well-being of anyone.

This is actually really neat. I appreciate the fact that all the meetings are scheduled up front, there is no live coding where candidates can be nervous or anxious. I think it's also rare to see organizations being respectful of a can

So another version of Grok? Bad jokes aside. What precedence is this going to set? Don't want to be on the current government's bad side? Just give them ownership stake and they'll look the other way? Seems like modern day ra

Typical of any new product/service these days. The first few weeks/months are "free" (or included) and then they start locking up things behind a paywall (i.e.,. subscription). I get that recurring revenue is needed for

It's not as bad as cigarettes, so totally safer! /s The FDA (like many other US government organizations) are now just doing the bidding of the highest bidder (i.e. donor) and/or the president. With the Supreme Court's n

Fair point. I'd add on that the company should explicitly spell out strong privacy as a feature then and charge more. Saying that "we won't use your data for training", but then not really meaning it is a bit disingenuou

This bait-and-switch with privacy is what annoys me. I get that if the software was completely free, you are the product. But if I'm paying, why can I not have a privacy policy that actually benefits me - the user?

I share the same sentiment. I honestly thought that the price increases would occur as new products rolled out. Seems like with the "back-to-school" promotion right around the corner, Apple expects to sell more machines and find i

I think they removed the "cheaper" configurations. In essence, the barrier to entry to mac mini was increased without actually changing the original price tag. I suspect the new mac mini (if one is coming) will sport a higher pric

The price increases are unsurprising considering Tim Cook said it was "unsustainable" for Apple to keep absorbing the increases. Glad I ordered a new machine a couple days ago. I suspect that these price increases will stick aroun

The price increases are absurd for some configurations. Glad I placed my order for a new mb pro a couple days ago.

Good point about the telemetry part. I've been using Little Snitch for the past few years and just block all the telemetry calls.

This is certainly a very useful resource - even for a seasoned data scientist!
