Nothing human engineers haven't done to each other! Seriously, I've skipped companies because my inside referral talked about cultures like this.

Did you use some stuff like https://github.com/CouncilDataProject or roll your own? Been curious about how to integrate local knowledge like this since local news seems to have lost the niche.

> Company policy doesn't apply to their personal computing. Sure, it'll come over as "oh I'm just running an experiment" after your infra/security teams notice. Seen @ public company before current ai hype.

Nontechnical people I know are buying hardware to run claws on. As I understand it, the innovation here isn't the tech but in availability/ease of access.

I had always thought the primary focus on single-payer was risk pool economics, not administrative efficiency. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_pool

Late thought, but you could set up "beacon" locations for each client to pull a local grid derived from coordinates? Wouldn't solve that 1s latency thing, but might be interesting in other applications.

That free upgrade refuses to work with my hardware. I am glad they are continuing security, but they are literally forcing me to install another OS (as I understand the security difference).

> "feel" systems I used to play a tcg a bit too seriously, and sometimes seeing incorrect game states would trigger something. Part of tracking game states and derivations I guess. Only sometimes helpful in software.

Even the article points out this analysis includes both condos and single-family homes, despite their wildly different demand situations.

The average consumer now sees mostly ads above the fold. Also, lots of internal stuff like this coming out. Not sure how this is meant to benefit the consumer aside from "they have to love what we deign to give them." https:&#x2F

Some time ago, this was important to decipher the marketing behind MongoDB. Their benchmarks ran with a loose isolation (read_uncommitted iirc) that didn't guarantee a durable flush, and they'd benchmark against defaults from post

Thanks for the link. My memory from that time had it as "merely" excel issues, but as described it is a fair bit worse than that.

Generally the latter. The very short version is that he focused on cash flow, and liked (re) insurance due to success managing float and risk. From there, he'd buy/invest stable businesses and brands. Insurance wasn't his fir

Did archive strip the author, or is this an unattributed piece? I became curious due to some of the non-neutral adjectives used.

I agree this would be a positive direction, but something that gives me pause is the forced upgrades and hardware cycle of both mac and windows now. They both scan files in your system constantly for various reasons, so for this purpose you

Cool idea! I had something similar for using LLMs as an intermediary not for spam but for "boring" local news matching to your profile. Court stuff, town meetings on youtube, that kind of thing.

My (admittedly aged) experience with XBRL is that each company was able to define its own fields/format within that spec, and that most didn't agree on common names for common fields. Parsing it wasn't fun.

As I understand it, with low (<1%) interest rates... Take a low-interest loan against a % of your wealth. If you can get the loan, then it seems like you get to have your cake (unrealized appreciation gains) and eat it too (non-income mo

This goes somewhat deeper than you might expect. "Literal" spells are for sale on e.g. ebay, and presumably authenticity/belief are managed like reputation? https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/bn_7023443545

My class learned to sign letters in like 3rd grade. The usual suspects very blatantly signed, letter by letter, to each other across desk aisles and still got caught. We never did make it to words.

$20 seems cheap; not long ago scooter operators would lose hundreds to theft at least, with little interest.
