You can't even get coins counted for free at retail banks anymore. Cash handling is too expensive even for the place that ostensibly provides cash handling services to the general public.

What is the problem this solves? Why would I use this instead of telling claude to vomit out the underlying boilerplate.

Leadership is not the same thing as management. Maybe some day the OP will get training data to add that concept to its latent vector space.

When they say users need to be protected they don't mean the people. They mean the database record.

Their virtual pet game is creepily connected to their social media platform and has poor performance on low end phones, like the kind kids typically have. Their company has a huge problem at the leadership level if they are making those kinds of enormous mistakes. Maybe selling will fix it.

I was under the impression that this is the exact kind of thing that violates the GDPR. That is.. processing an identifier (IP address) to do something more (track user actions across multiple requests) than what is required (route traffic to the server).

My recent experience with wanting analytics for an enterprise application was that for my limited needs, it was easier to roll my own than to deal with evaluating all the options and integrating with another service. There are already a ton of privacy focused alternatives to google analytics. So many such that finding one that serves a niche is practically ungoogleable.

I'd go even further. Most people don't want to even be exposed to the news.

I train my LLM to barf up my domain specific boilerplate code. I don't ask it to solve business problems.

We should make a wealth shot clock. Nobody is allowed to hold an asset for more than a few seconds.

Theft has a clearance rate of only 15%. Sounds like we already stopped trying to regulate most theft, in practice.

Its controversial because if the market could bear a price increase, it would already bear it. The left hand side of your inequality is already at a local maximum, and can not be raised to pass on costs to the consumer.

It would only mean that if wages were based on economic value. Which, I guess could be true if hourly wage and economic value mean the same thing.

Would you count a water battery? Or is it non-renewable because the pipes will rust.

A personal example for me is that on the iphone, the default view shows me 24 icons, which is way too many to be useful. Its so useless, in fact, that most tech savvy users simply swipe up and use the search feature. But there's no way to know that you can swipe up to get to the search feature, leaving most non-tech-savvy users to visually inspect pages of icons, one at a time, until they find the app they are looking for.

I think a society where people mean what they say and say what they do is preferable to a society with more implied expectations.

So go ahead and take care of me, but put it in writing. In my experience its pretty common for small businesses to have wishful thinking and have a desire to take care of the team, but for one reason or another, be unable or unwilling to actually follow through once they get into the details of it.

We're all out here chilling in the midwest working at lifestyle businesses.

the US is prosecuting and incarcerating broad swathes of innocent people.

There's about half a million people in jail right now who haven't been convicted of a crime. Some of them are innocent, for sure.

Is it still trespassing if you ask to be let in, and the butler lets you in when he's not supposed to?

IMO a big reason why is that web apps don't have the idioms and affordances of desktop applications, so in the end, the ux feels wrong to users unless do you a boatload of extra work implementing and maintaining the multiple versions of the experiences your app provides. In many cases it was easier to just rewrite the whole thing in a desktop framework, where the desktop idioms and affordances are the default behavior, instead of trying to implement them in a cross platform framework. This problem only got worse when the OS updated its look and feel, your cross platform app wouldn't look new, like it would if you used the built in frameworks provided by the OS.

Then again, maybe I didn't read very closely at what this is announcing... This is just talking about a new better install experience, but I think what I said is still true. They are putting OS affordances in the installer, but when you get to the app, its different. Yuck.

Another thing that really sucked is when MSFT deprecated "click once" installers. Suddenly this "easy" way to make an installer became a huge headache. For some stable, legacy applications you can't even build them anymore without either installing an ancient IDE, or writing a new installer. When google deprecates these installers, these apps are going to be in a similar boat. Honestly I'd expect it to be even more painful, because the underlying web part of the web app is a moving target, too.

Silverlight had this. It was a bad idea, then. Its still a bad idea.

Sorry to just jump in here, but growth isn't for everyone. If some people don't want to work, I'd rather pay them to get out of the way than risk the chance of them adding negative net value.

Because at the end of the day, compensation isn't tied to performance, its tied to what the market will bear.

GOP's stated preferences for defunding Ukraine's defense

The voting record shows their preference is to continue funding it. I don't know why your information sources are saying the opposite. Maybe they do it to polarize us.

Botnets create traffic from trusted devices. Would the icloud token provider un-trust compromised devices? Sounds like a nightmare.

I mean.. I could have just said nazi soldiers but I thought it was too cliche.

"What is the use of a newborn child?" - Ben Franklin

That doesn't matter. Drug dealers, hitmen, prostitutes, etc. go to jail all the time even though its their job.

Sure, why not. If he's identified a niche in the market, he should exploit it. Personally, I'd expect that energy executives and policy makers already considered this and rejected it, but who knows, maybe he found a niche they didn't consider.

If you think there's another viable solution, please found a company around the idea and prove us all wrong.
