Oh man the stories write themselves

We need intensely ambitious and competitive people. We shouldn't use money to keep score.

Nice saying. Another one I just remembered is "We don't have enough money to do it right, but we have enough to do it twice."

Elon has been pretty vocal about trying to stop them for ages

You know people lie, right? Especially when the lie casts them in a better light and/or makes them more money.

I think the point they are trying to make is the golden retriever vibe/energy you get from Claude gives "after work yoga."

There are Chinooks with no bids as of yet....as well as a Bombardier Challenger

The controller was talking to Frontier plane when he first said stop, then said stopstopTruck1stopstopstop and it would be easy for there to be a gap in processing for the driver of truck 1 because the verbiage all flowed in the same stanza that was started when addressing the Frontier flight.

My mind when to the same thing. Great song.

We get it! They have 22,477 tests with a 99.98% pass rate, ship 65 commits to main daily, and keep 98 engineers productive on a single monorepo.

I thought the repetition of these statitics was a little tired, but overall that's an impressive solution. Also totally get that the hardest part is log ingestion and indexing.

They are a luxury item, you are paying for the privilege of signaling you can afford $550 headphones.

Plus they give juuuust enough features to cover for the true purpose and give you plausible deniability. Same as most luxury items. None truly give the value of the cost (Is a Ferrari 10x as fast as a GR86? Carry 10x as much stuff? Go 10x as far on the same gas load? Etc etc etc)

"Oh but there's nothing like the experience of driving a Ferrari!"

OP literally said that users add their domains, meaning they are explicitly ASKING OP to scrape their websites.

I think there's another dimension to this, which is the toxic home life which led to these behaviors. Good luck unpacking this all and getting healthier.

1) To get ahead of any transition drama 2) Because he's sick

As far as I understand, many not-at-fault accidents DO make one's rates go up. The rationale being "the places she drives are extra dangerous and puts our client at risk, despite driving properly."

As I mentioned in another comment, Waze does this. There's a stretch of the Capital Beltway that, if it was on a race track and compressed, would be called "esses." It's totally fine to navigate at 80 MPH with no drama in any mechanically sound, post-1980 car, but it catches mediocre drivers by surprise. Waze throws up a "history of accidents" message whenever I drive through it.

Waze has this, and it works off of the same underlying data IIRC. It pops up a "history of accidents" note.

Same here. I still crave sweets like nutella before I got to bed. I just don't eat as much of it.

"Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence"

My VSCode's built-in chat has 4o and 4.1 as the only options; will there be an update for that?

This is a weird example because there are crappy go-karts and there are carefully designed and assembled go-karts. You can have a high quality anything: car, truck, go-kart, trailer, wagon.

I cannot add git Bash as an option for a terminal in VSCode. I had it installed via PortableGit and the chat told me it doesn't work unless it's in a standard location. I installed in a standard location and still no dice.

It literally says "first" in the upper right hand corner of the image indicating the red seats, which are clearly not as nice as the purple seats, aka Delta One?

You guys are getting bags?

is it that they're in on the grift and everyone understands that she's just there as a wink-wink-totaly-not state censor, or do they genuinely fall for her schtick?

It's both. That's one of the things that's difficult to suss out and therefore have a plan to engage. There's plausible deniability on both ends of that spectrum. Even in the high positions in the administration, there's a smattering of True Believers in amongst the grifters.

Gaithersburg went down on December 8th, is there confirmation that it's fully functional again?

I feel like there's a sweet spot of wealth that is generationally sustainable, which I would say is in the middle and upper-middle class brackets. Just like with any human activity, the amount of work required for the payoff has to be in the sweet spot. Too rich, and not enough work is required for the offspring to stay engaged enough to surmount the hurdles all human face. Too poor and the opportunities just aren't there.

To be fair, one of the reasons for the decrease in crime may be the steps taken by average people to minimize it, due to anxiety.

Thank you. I was thinking myself or my corporate IP was shadowbanned

Hypothesis:

They were set up to shoot that scene that day and they were on a tight schedule. They started to set up and they realized they only had 12 feet of hose, or that the pressure dropped too much with a longer length of hose. They discussed all the options, and fixing it physically would take too long or be too expensive. Thus another "we'll fix it in post!" moment was born.

I thought this was a fascinating story. Also cool to see the technical details like AWS in there.
