While these are all cool, the tool they're selling just openly is made for stealing styles from other pages? I mean I get that CSS isn't copyrighted (specifically), but it does just seem like its a tool made for stealing other peoples work?

When I read these type of comments, I wonder if OP is living in some kind of bubble. Large corporations spent billions over the last years migrating to the cloud. You can't simply 'undo' that. All fine and dandy for small orgs, but they aren't the ones AWS makes most its money with.

Care to elaborate? How would a bakery using AI generated images of bread be any different than McDonalds or Burger King advertising highly photoshopped / fake products?

I run a startup that heavily relies on ads, and I can tell you for sure that we spend and measure ROI in detail. We have metrics that tell us exactly how much we need to spend to convert a user into paying user, so that we can budget ourselves accordingly; I think most low/mid tier companies do this. Of course, when you look at real giants, its a different story as the ROI is harder to measure.

I know I will get a hail of downvotes for this, but again you're comparing apples and oranges. The operators are using crypto for a wide range of applications. Using a mixer has probably 99.9% illegal reasons and 0.1% legitimate uses. Making money laundering harder is a good thing, no matter how many people here will try to convince you it isn't.

Well I'm guessing that it's referring to the fact that 1MB sequential is essentially a bunch of random reads?

AFAIK, on SSD's there is no concept/guarantee that blocks are adjacent, so a sequential read is just a bunch of random reads.

I don't know what startups you work at, but in the early stage I'm focused on keeping costs down as far as possible and producing features as fast as possible; not spending time architecting something I can do once I have a team and enough capital to develop it.

A single frontend, single backend, a single DBMS, a single data analysis tool which can connect directly. I don't need a warehouse when I have 5k users.

The is little intersection between people who do frontend development and people who are comfortable at that level with Java.

Considering the tooling for almost any frontend framework is leaps and bounds ahead any of those two frameworks, it's a no brainer why no one uses it, in my opinion.

Where and how exactly? I'm not a huge crypto fan, but what you're saying is generally a huge problem with FIAT, unless you are sending it to someone in the same country as you.

I don't really get it, it's just a product that has gone off the shelf. The xbox 360 isn't 'dead' it's just no longer sold. I don't think the kinect is any different in that sense, seeing as no new games use it.

Honestly, I've yet to find a backend that is as productive and performant as C# + Entity Framework out of the box. I've tried a wide array of other products, but somehow for ease of use this really sticks out. Of course scalability maybe be in an issue in the long run with EF, but I don't know if simplest and scalability really go hand in hand.

Investigating viruses is normal procedure and has many advantages. Millions are spent investigating flu, common cold, mutations thereof, and other viruses every year. It's how we know how to deal with them, and how we can get better at making ways to counter them.

If this spill-out theory is correct, the Lab is at fault for improperly handling these viruses, something you can't really fault Fauci for. Unless, of course, you buy in and regurgitate political dribble.

Same thing as last time this was posted; If a resume has Microsoft, LI, Zillow, and Instagram as the positions listed, that person is getting an invite. When 100s of people are applying, hiring managers don't have time to read every last bullet, but will quickly sort through by looking at stuff like that. It's really not a surprise. The more intense scrutinising comes during the actual interview anyways (as most of the people here know, I guess).

No matter what changes apples implements (even if its reverting to things people wanted back), people like you will always find a way to complain. Having used an iphone for a while, the notch really isn't noticeable, and I'd trade it for having a thick black border at the top any day.

Yesterday a colleague was trying to screenshare via teams for mac to another colleague (also on a mac) and somehow both their machines crashed. While it could be a coincidence, I suspect it was the teams app. The app is a dumpster fire right now, even though I use it to some of degree of success myself
