Why would it not be legal to enforce a contract after 9 years? If she didn't want it enforced after a duration, she could have negotiated for that, or just not signed it. I don't see how it's principled to legally swear to no

Acknowledging that I'm not adding much to the conversation here, but I just wanted to respond to say you actually changed my opinion with this post. Those examples are slop not because their category is bad, but because most things a

You'll notice I specifically said "victims of their own success". Obviously these problems are induced by the fact that they have so many users. Blowing a lead due to inability to handle the demands of success is still a path

Oh really? Do they have availability problems too?

They seem to be a victim of their own success. Their response times are quite bad, and it's widely believed they are doing something to degrade service quality (quantizing?) in order to stretch resources. They just announced that they&

I share your concern. Airlines seem to be anticipating this. There was a recent publicized incident of American Airlines removing a woman from a flight for playing audio over her phone speakers. United has similar policies. As I understand

I'm not sure Microsoft is good at creating technology OR products. Microsoft is good at enterprise sales.

I've tried several of these sorts of things, and I keep coming away with the feeling that they are a lot of ceremony and complication for not much value. I appreciate that people are experimenting with how to work with AI and get actua

> But Google actually knows how to do research and how to apply it to products. I have seen basically no evidence of this. Google knows how to do research to create technology. Google is pretty terrible at creating product though.

Yeah, agreed. Daily isn't really necessary outside of initial launch and maybe a busy season. It's really just often enough to build a good sense of production use, and keep it up to date.

These categories are extremely broad. Top Executive includes general managers, legislators, school superintendents, mayors, city administrators, and a lot of other government jobs. The name is misleading, it's basically non-frontline m

I'm not sure if this is what the writer was getting at, but I tend to check telemetry for my production applications regularly not because I'm looking for things that would fire alerts, but to keep a sense of what production looks

I very much appreciate the sentiment, and wish him well. However, one guy maintaining a fork as a side project from his core work is not very promising. He seems to believe AI will help lessen the burden. I hope he's able to find other

I found it more jarring that they chose to use both Excalidraw and ascii art. What a strange choice.

They have essentially nothing in common, other than the fact that both rapidly degrade over the seasons and both are nostalgic looks back at recent eras of America.

Absolutely. One of those shows where I went to check what the songs were playing in specific scene often, and ended up with lots of new tracks added to play lists. Whoever did their music selection was top notch.

I thought Halt and Catch Fire was fairly well known, especially in the tech world. Season 1 was absolutely killer. I like that they tried to capture different eras per season, but subsequent seasons got progressively weaker. I still think G

Strongly agree that Season 1 was by far the best, and the rest suffered for the changes.

Mostly because the kind of people who run and advocate for programs like this are actively hostile to the idea of merit. Prioritizing talented people would be antithetical to them.

GitHub has a long history of being extremely unstable. They were down all the time, much like recently, several years ago. They seemed to stabilize quite a bit around the MS acquisition era, and now seem to be returning to their old instabi

Hard no. Reality is that this push is everywhere. Authoritarian governments are cracking down hard on dissent, they're not going to leave huge platforms for communication untouched. We'll need open source decentralized alternative

Yes, I see, you don't believe in countries or borders. I disagree with you, fundamentally, as do basically all Americans.

That assumes that policies can't be put in place to control the incentives such that they prioritize American companies hiring American employees.
