There seem to be some knowledgeable commenters here. How does a noob (asking for a friend) figure out what tires to buy? What should my friend be looking for?

That's....not true. Maybe a few pros have been playing for 20+ years, but most of the top players (by championship wins) are young. Hera, Lierrey, Vinchester, Lewis...are in their 20s. And even the previous #1 Viper isn't that old

Is your argument: - Only ship products when they are perfect against every possible edge condition? or - If Waymo fails in a few scenarios today after 20 years of effort, they can never succeed?

I keep seeing this over hiring argument everywhere. What's the evidence for that? And weren't the layoffs of 2023-24 supposed to correct that? In my experience, in every big tech company for the past two decades, almost everyone a

A lot of home computers are capable (with a large margin) to run a large amount of self-hosted services (eg: jellyfin, immich, minecraft, plex, karakeep, ... whatever people want to use). And yet, less than 0.01% of the population (made up

The parent poster is saying (and I agree) that Airpods and Airtags are only superior because Apple anti-competitively privileges their integration with iPhones. It's not that they are better at the hardware level by itself. And since i

I would love 24 hour Waymo buses, running at a high frequency. If taking a bus becomes easy, reliable and fast, more people will do it, and there will be less cars on the road.

I agree that this would be an awesome feature, and it would also significantly enhance iPads' value for me. That said, having worked on account/identity systems at another FAANG, I think that the commenters saying that Apple is ho

Rediscovered this game a year ago, and am absolutely loving it. The r/aoe2 community is also generally welcoming and helpful.

Do you have a link to a good one? I presume the original videos of Feynman are lost, or never existed?

But setups get equally complicated, even with human software engineers. The approach that the OP is talking about applies only to experienced, good architect-level SWEs, and I suspect that the code quality and its problems are going to be t

>> or raise 100% private by Google? Isn't that what they are kinda doing? 13bn out of the 16bn is coming from Google itself. I think the reason they are taking 3bn from outside high-profile investors is to validate the valuation,

I do exactly the same as you. I wish that I didn't need windows for gaming, and things are getting better on that front, but my favorite game (AoE 2) works significantly better on windows than on wine :(

Evidence I can give in support of the article: - very few teams have headcount, or expecting to grow - the number of interview requests get has dropped off a cliff. So BigTech is definitely hiring less IMHO. That said, I am not sure if it&#

Short the stock, go long the appropriate index. eg: If you think NVDA is overvalued relative to the overall tech sector, you could short NVDA, go long QQQ. And if you have a more opinionated trade in the same currency, eg: you think AAPL wi

I totally agree with your sentiment, but can't you still do that with Android? IIUC, you can still load apps directly via adb. Is that not correct?

The only reason I use Windows is for playing some old games (primarily Age of Empires II: DE) that only work well on Windows. In the AoE2 case, I also need CaptureAge that only works on Windows. The point is that even though I have 95% de-M

Next year will be even worse. This was the first year of Trump's new term and most of the anti-immigration executive orders happened in the last few months. By August, most international students had already accepted offers, made trave

On iPhones, you need to pay Apple $99/yr+taxes to do even personal development. Yes, technically they have a free tier, but it supports a max of 3 devices, which you can't change, ever. It's so painful that it might not as we

Serious question: Why don't you pay for YouTube premium? Isn't it hypocritical to want YouTube to offer you its content for free? If the content is valuable to you, you should be willing to pay for it. If not, just stop watching Y

Because of disproportional risk. Landlords generally can't suddenly increases rents. It happens only at the end of lease, and everyone knows when the lease is going to expire, and you have 1-2 months at a minimum to negotiate the lease

Valid points. Is there a known solution to this, even if it's too expensive today? Would it make sense for local electricity companies to go full solar with large battery backups? Or are batteries too expensive, or don't last long

I am less sure about the Figma acquisition[1] in particular, but overall, I strongly agree with the general point that blanket blocking nearly-all acquisitions by Big Tech (except Microsoft for some reason) is wrong and short-term populism.
