Reddit is more toxic than even Facebook to be honest. I've posted something just in discovery questions for something I'm building and immediate was banned from the group. First time on Reddit, first time in that group.

Has happened in two other same type situations. Find it super territorial and toxic TBH.

Government is starting to be to big to fail. Living in the Great Lakes region its just the reality of it, as the geopolitics of the region are outplayed by idiots in other parts of the state.

Sorry to hear this news. I don't want to spoil the party, but the bucking heads between both countries, especially as a border town dual-citizen, its only going to make living in the Canada that much more difficult for me. The US economy is 9x bigger and with a population of 45M vs. 325M+ - its crazy. Ontario dominates the political spectrum (just a point of fact, not of affiliation) it doesn't allow for collaboration across the provinces. BC and AB are booming, and Ontario just keeps stagnating their innovation trains and economic prosperity and we're likely to see this continue into the future as Toronto and Ottawa just dictate the population as a whole from a central "neck of the woods" thinking.

God save the King, but at what cost?!

Love you Americans. I'm sorry, we're assholes when it comes to nationalism sometimes, but its just going to be difficult for a few years for us.

You can't legislate freedoms. You can try, but we've always had the tools to subvert (most likely legally on the federal level) and skirt the unconstitutional (face value, not a lawyer) nature of such things.

I'm a Christian, and live within my belief structure, too. BUT the path to redemption is either a chicken finger sub if you are a secularist, or a pulpit if your God fearing individual.

I just can't stand politicians who have 0-faith that try to leverage it without consulting those on the opposite side of the idle that need that Adam and Eve 12" whatever demonstrated on pr0nh0rb.

Nobody really cares about Vice, because of the politic that just didn't make sense anymore. They stopped making good content like a decade ago.

Cash Cows 3 years ago

Dead link. things actually can get DoS'd in 2023 by HackerNews traffic? :-D

To me, its just a jobs creation program and not an energy reduction strategy by the US government. The incentives are around 55% (state in Federal combined where I live) at this point until 2033, and what program gets subsidized like that, unless its an absolute failure to start with?

I get solar, technically. I don't get the business of it ...

Ironically enough, one just has to watch a history of Louis Rossmann's (think Right to Repair, youtube.com personality - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl2mFZoRqjw_ELax4Yisf6w) videos about his rent / lease in the commercial space of NYC, to understand how the equations work. I think the city and state governments are the bigger issue. The collusion meets with government bureaucracy as well. This doesn't seem to be a unique situation, but in NYC and the exodus of big tenants in the city matched with post-COVID beliefs that costs will remain high turns out for a toxic environment there for business at least.

Naturally the "Rent is TO damn high" guy from a few election cycles ago (look on Google for that) is also the case.

I don't know how the used car market and rental market will return to what it was before for a forseeable future.

I didn't know this about ChatGPT - brokers of user data, trading data collected for compute. As interesting as this is, there's a lil bit of an interesting public policy and computer technology for fair use of one's personal data. No expert, but might be a slippery slope long term, so highly suggest you get a checkbox in there with some sort of absolvement in liability between your app and the user's resume.

Other than that, it's like all good things - 80% of it is the button click, while the last 20% is proofing the final result and correcting the model so the machine can learn.

God Speed man. Love new tools.

By thinking this way - I gained 30 lbs, developed a little drinking habit, and stopped bathing .. wife stopped giving me the "social" attention, and I withered socially. HOWEVER, I got a 6-figure job, an MBA, a Master's in Physics, and a hell of a lot smarter. That took 4 years to do, but took 4 years off the end of my life, I'm sure.

In the long run though, the >adversity< experience that is the human condition trains us to be hard. I'm not talking about body wise, but in fortitude. We weren't meant to be given everything on a silver platter, yet here we are in modern society.

You don't have to go all "liver king" on this one, but recognizing that a healthy dose of day-walker ain't so bad. I returned to the day-walker realm about 3 months ago and have since dropped 20 of the 30, drink about 1x a month (best I can tell that trend will continue) and I actually give a sh*t.

I don't want to say this is wrong, but its a cautionary tale about taking the uphill battles as a challenge to sharpen you for the time you really meet adversity.

I hate to say this from an engineering stand-point, but that's because the nature of programable circuits and the systems that are derived from them. Thinking in terms of the plight of Bell Labs and how the demise that made them filthy rich, but also started the end of their company. I think you're wrong on a few levels, but mostly undervaluing the nature of how software on embedded systems are infinitely changeable. It's where hardware like SDR USB devices have yet to really be realized, but they almost future proof your hardware. Why innovate in hardware? You don't have to anymore for decades and still find useful ways to flash remote systems and exponentially make them useful. I have a 1st generation Amazon Echo - the thing is so over-engineered it'll last another decade and services will still work on it.

I value hardware, but I value versatility more.

As we get older, the world gets older with us. The tides are softer, the lines are much more graceful, and the disruption is only in our minds.

We disrupted the old ways of thinking, so the new ones had a path to walk upon. Let us not fret, as this is the way of the world.
