Yep - I ran a 16 line Major BBS back in the mid 90's in Seattle - used what was called a "Bocaboard" - had 16 serial ports on it - plugged in 16 external USR 28.8 modems. It all ran off of one PC.

We didn’t go in to Irag because Saddam was a mass murderer - we went in because Bush lied to America that Saddam was trying to get yellow cake uranium to build a bomb. A lot of Americans were against the war because we knew Saddam was not

My experience with people who "don't like the taste of coffee" usually has been that they don't like how bitter and strong the taste is, which is almost always tasting the "roast" instead of the bean. Single o

The article doesn't appear to say that OpenAI is a monopolist - it's more a conflict of interest: However, YC is also closely tied to OpenAI, which is now directly competing against Google on search. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman u

Quick question - is it possible to import multiple files at once? I frequently get ZIP files full of csv/xlsx files that I need to search through. I didn't see a way to import more than 1 file at a time. Thanks!

Over 200,000 homes were damaged or destroyed in Katrina: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction_of_New_Orleans Not sure how that is a "tiny fraction" of homes. $125 billion in damage (2005).

I had not seen this claim before, but upon checking it out it appears to be true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_the_Muslim_... I'm guessing that is what they are talking about.

Not sure what they use but I've used Speedtest CLI: https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli works good.

Do you have a link to one that shows A/C? I'm only seeing C/C (I'm A/C so curious). Thanks!

I don't know how accurate this list is, but it sure seems like most of the high crime cities in the US are NOT in the west: https://www.safehome.org/resources/crime-statistics-by-state...

I suspect the majority of mac owners still have intel based macs so they want to highlight the performance improvement to those users - since they may be most likely to upgrade?

We're still up on us-east-2 but lots of customers calling in that they can't connect - makes me think there's some network down somewhere.

Yeah but what about the resources that go into making a phone? The phone is just the end result of a long line of processes that create waste. So while the phone may be much smaller in size, "throwing it away" could result in a

Does anyone know if Planetscale plans on deploying in us-east-2? I'd love to play around with it and compare to Aurora V2 but all of our infrastructure is in us-east-2.
