Having been there i have to respectfully disagree. Probably because, as far as i can tell, you are warping their intentions to be what your intentions would be if you did what they did.

It seems like different people? The early tech scene was defined by people who got into tech because they loved it, jobs were paying under six figures. Then it became a gold rush, and the tech scene became defined by the newcomers who wer

I really don't think it's AGI. From living in the valley, it looks a whole lot more like giant piles of cash and "prestige".

It really depends where you live. Around here every home built since ~1970 has an HOA. The cities have demanded them, because they can push some of the work like re-paving streets onto the HOA as part of the founding documents.

Many of them do. My aunt bought a new car last year and was bragging about how big the screen was. She seemed confused that i thought a big screen was a downgrade.

I think the mistake you have is starting from the wrong premise. The premise, IMO, should be that OP has been harassed, demeaned, and otherwise been made to feel bad for 20+ years for using the units they were raised with. At least that&#x2

The performance is nice, but the advanced modding scene is non-existent. In java a mod author can do just about anything they can imagine and write code for. Somehow i doubt we will ever see dimensional doors as a bedrock mod.

Perhaps this varies by region? I don't know anyone that buys burgers in a packet. They buy ground beef and either make patties or balls (for smash burgers).

This is the law in California ( https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/newsupdates/2024/11/calif... ) as of January. Several games I use have recently changed their buttons from "buy" to "

The desire is relateively simply explained. Some people used to find HN interesting, but the modern set of things being upvoted isn't matching their interests anymore. They already ignore the content they don't like, the problem

How about if they claim to be google chrome running on windows 11, from a residential IP address? Is that a human or an AI bot?

depends on who. For the average HN person? I imagine it's a wash, some yes and some no. For the average person? I think they see it as a benefit. Personally? It annoys me a bit because I assume the AI is being done server side and is

But that resignation was part of a larger deal. If the deal is thrown out, shouldn't the resignation be thrown out too?

My city has 30k people, although we are part of a larger metro. Store brand eggs are $9.50/dozen. Alternatively Costco is still selling 60 packs for $20, although they have had per customer limits recently and don't alway have sto

Honestly, it seems completely irrelevant that a simple reading of the commerce clause isn't that powerful. What matters is how things are applied, and what precedents have been established. As applied the commerce clause is immensly po

The problem is this is what people are being told is happening. I've talked to laypeople that think chatgpt is a superintelligent thing they get 100% truthful answers from. I saw a podcast last week from a PhD (in an unrelated field)

Maybe this is a physical development thing? Because i can't imagine a world in which my mouse is more accurate than my keyboard. The mouse requires two-way responsive action. I have to both move the mouse and observe the movement with

Because the ending was pretty meh. All this excitement, and then Ding just flubs up an end game that most super gm's should be able to draw against stockfish. The best finale's are often when two players at their best duke it out,

depends on the market. The 5kw options i was quoted were Enphase 5p batteries, average price from multiple installers was $5k per battery installed.

by lacksconfidence 2y ago
with how pricing works here battery is basicaly a necessity. They will pay 3-8c /kwh during the day for extra production, and charge 50-65c/kwh when you don't have enough production. Well, maybe necessity is a bit strong. Th

It's very real. I was recently quoted 30k-43k for 7kw of panels, 13.5kwh of battery, along with reworking some electrical panels. The one coming in at the top of the range were baking in a ton of profit and willing to negotiate down on

I've also been at my current employer for a little more than a decade. I've been promoted to the 2nd highest level possible for an engineer without ever asking or doing specific actions to get those promotions. The last promotion

While I don't necessarily agree, the argument is that the 1970 postal reorganization act required the postal office to be self funded, and that since they are not funded with any federal dollars they are somewhere between a government

Surprisingly the DeepSea Challenger was only $10M as well. Thats certainly a ton of money, but it's in the same ballpark as what ocean gate spent.

It's not a force, it's a choice. When we bought our home every home built in the area in the last 40 years had an HOA. The only non-HOA choices are basically taking a giant gamble on how terribly the previous owners updated it to

Over half of the stock market is held in the retirement accounts of everyday people. This is just a tax in a roundabout way. I don't have a solution, they all suck. But I'm not convinced this is any better.
