I wonder if anyone is legitimately concerned that mirrored downloads might contain malicious payloads?

This is why I quit being a TPM - at one point I just started making up bogus words and every PM (non-technical) with an MBA immediately jumped at the opportunity to use a cool new word. The day that did it for me, aside from the company fa

Tbh, I kind of hated being a TPM - frankly it felt like a fake job and made me miss being technical. Unfortunately, I've just never been able to have the chops for leetcode interviews which is why I took the opp to transition to TPM a

Could be worse, also 28 and I just got laid off after my first year of being a technical product manager. I have a somewhat scattered three years of dev experience prior, although around 2yrs was my longest stint. Been applying to jobs for

Thanks for including "profitable" - it's a travesty how much engineering talent is wasted toiling on "businesses" that only make $4k a year after hundreds of hours.

I'd say over 60% at least - a friend of mine bought a second-hand M1 macbook without any issues. Key here is that the previous user has to initiate a full-wipe on the device, if that happens anyone can continue to use the device. Thi

When you're building campuses that resemble theme parks more than offices I think it's time to let the FTC take a peak. Meta is in a similar position IMO.

I actually support this - the amount of material involved isn't trivial but is largely aluminum. I think the positives of deterring thieves / illegal resellers far exceeds the environmental impact. A better approach in my opinio

Would you be open to an interview about Stable Horde? It's currently my favorite open source project involved with text2img. Ping me at hydratedchia@gmail.com if so!

I'd be very open to paying for a "license" of ChatGPT that I run on my own horde of nVidia GPU's. Something like $2k per year for a "secured" personal license would be awesome. The largest line item for all s

IMO the folks at the All In podcast nailed this - at work so I don't have time to find the exact clip but basically their synopsis went like this: When money was cheap to borrow, borrowing against stock and increasing headcount was see

The irony of the HN crowd struggling to direct rage at either cops or Elon is hilarious. Moreso HN crowd "supporting police" is quite frankly the very definition of cope. I'm somewhat moderate and I definitely do not trust c

It was weird, because the geographic delineation was seemingly random. I could travel by train three hours outside of Amsterdam and encounter zero issues with Apple Pay or VISA. But certain neighborhoods in Amsterdam, especially De Pijp s

Bikes are great, I commute on a bike in a US city with decent infrastructure. I still wear a helmet every single time I get on a bike. Even low speed crashes or encounters with pedestrians can result in serious head injuries.

After visiting amsterdam this summer, most of the city was honestly pretty disgusting. The architecture is beautiful as is taking a river cruise or viewing other cities around NL, however a lot of the central city just smelled like stale b

This seems like an absolute legal nightmare - ToS will never hold up in court, you've basically just saved criminals and scammers a few days of work.

Fortunately systems for bringing in "fresh" air without dumping heat (by means of a heat exchanger) now exist which basically removes the issue of indoor air quality / Co2 and VOC buildup in highly insulated homes. However,

I wonder how they plan to mitigate the long-term risks of dangerous prions which can continue to live in soil for decades and pose a serious health risk to humans. For this reason, I'm going to be cremated with molten salt from a solar

Is this guy actually an amazon employee or did he just sign up for Amazon Flex just to make this video? Great angles / production value - also cool to see this vehicle!
