I would have probably still kept paying for Evernote if they just split the application into Evernote Classic (w/o any of the Collab, texting, bloat) and another with all the bells and bloat. At the end, it was so bloated that there wa

Yeah, enterprise code has that trope of being enterprise-y, verbose and bad. In my experience, that has always been the opposite. At the big corps/FAANGs I worked at, a single line of change can adversely impact millions of paying cust

Your hypothesis straight up assumes that a) Americans have the best possible education required for the work (we don't; functional illiteracy has never been higher in the last few decades). And b) Americans are the most fluent in Engli

Oh wow! I thought you were likely nitpicking something slightly off center. Nope, the article is straight up truncated on the right with no recourse. This is on an iPhone in the Safari browser.

The fantasy series, Farseer trilogy, and beyond (great read) has "Map-Faces". People subjugated to slavery, wearing their current owner's crest on their cheeks so everyone immediately knows who they belong to. Of course, when

Why is it not fair use for the Chinese models if all they are doing is distilling these fair use models? According to the courts, AI model output is not copyrighted or eligible for copyright.

Then you shouldn't be asking those questions in the first place. Why do you want a job?, Why do you want to relocate?, Why do you want to work here?, etc. are BS "no-op" questions that are not relevant to the skills that they

By Reddit's own admission, that's literally 98% of users. Most of the incoming traffic never engage with the post in any way. This is true of most social sites. That's where the term 'lurker' comes from.

Counter-conterpoint : For now. A large part of this is due to bilateral agreements and free flow migration. This referendum directly affects that.

It doesn't work as straightforward as that. To have a healthy immigration channel, especially if you want younger/educated/skilled/etc. the pipeline needs to be active and streamlined. Jobs, housing, a well-beaten path

Not really. The underlying rules for Nasdaq has changed. The preexisting ruleset was used by investors to gauge their portfolio balance. Now investors have to revaluate their portfolio based on the new ruleset as their fundamental risks hav

Do you have to take any medications/follow-ups forever to keep it in place or is a one and done kind of procedure?

The average life expectancy in the 1920s, even in India, was most definitely not 21-25 years. Various sources show the expectancy age as 51-57. This is because there wasn't enough data for this.

Except now you also team up with people who are adept at sales, marketing, accounting, etc. now to form a cooperative instead of a corporation. Maybe workers can get back some of the rights and fruits of their labor.

This is funny, because these exact same things were great filters to eliminate BS candidates. It's always the ones who talk a big game who tend to be the worst when the tire meets the road. Some of the absolute best candidates were alw

It's understandable. Big tech wanted to be part of the military industrial complex, now they get to experience the side effects that come with it.

Exactly! I was in university around that time. Our team project needed a non-public repo for us to sync to. Free/Personal Github at the time did not allow for private repos, so I just used my Dropbox folder as the "server".

That's comparing Apples to tortoises. If an investor wants to invest/gamble on a startup, it's their prerogative. Same as if Bob's uncle wants to give him a small loan to buy into a franchise. I still expect both of th

Firefox has been far faster for me than chrome ever was (I have way too many tabs open that the same number would make chrome chug). It is also an interesting take to have while defending a browser that is actively hostile to the user.
