Let’s not fall for it, folks. Today it’s the easy tasks—things you don’t mind giving up. But tomorrow? It will be your entire job. That’s the trajectory. Let’s stay sharp.

What if it starts by handling the boring tasks but ends up taking over the work you actually enjoy? The "let AI do the boring bits" pitch sounds appealing—because it's easier to accept. But let's be real: the goal isn&#x

The difference I see is that in Europe, at least where I live, at the end of the month the bank will charge your bank account with the full amount of whatever is the balance of your credit card. If you have no money you will go into overdra

I’m surely missing something but if a company A creates an API for chatgpt, pretty much giving away all its capabilities to some company B (chatgpt), risking getting cannibalised in the process, what is the gain? I mean surely in the shor

> All costs considered, an operator who makes $5k per month in revenue might take home something like $2k in profit. I was looking for the same, the above helped me to get an idea about the net income.

I spent a lot of time setting up Hackintoshes and, in the end, I always ended up asking myself: why did I bother doing all this? The time you have to spend maintaining it can amount to a lot. In my case, the machine would always feel sort o

I once went for the first time to visit a Dutch acquaintance and before I entered the bathroom for a shower I was asked "not to take a long shower because of the electricity costs." Dutch directness at its finest.

I don't think it is necessarily hypocrisy, there are several ways to tell the truth. When one cannot be polite, soft spoken, considerate, or just lacks tact, one can always go the Dutch way. Why bother?

Go to the huisarts (general practicioner) and chat with him/her in the same way as you would with a doctor in the US. You're going to experience the dutch directness firsthand.

I found that out very soon in NL where you see mostly Dutch cheese in the shelves and just a very tiny small section with "world" cheese. Cheddar cheese became rarity at home these days.

I tried that strategy here in the NL and got very nice looking tomatoes but still, watery and tasteless. There is just not that much strong sunlight during the spring months to bring the taste out. I guess it's worse in greenhouses wh

Check tax rate in countries like the Netherlands. I cannot complain about what I get here for that money, though. I think people coming from a "sunny", southern countries (like me) would mostly have other things to get used to ra

I use PIA and I can't complain. One issue I noticed that may affect others as well is that they are being blocked more and more around the internet. I don't think this is only a PIA problem though.

I did just that. Mac > Hackintosh > Linux. but.... In the end I found out it was far worse having to deal with the crappy alpha version apps for linux than fixing the hackintosh. If you are used to the quality of mac apps you will cer
