I don't think it's in the same ballpark at all. I checked the `/usage` in my session which uses a Max x5 plan. One day I had used $400 of tokens and 20% of my Fable allocation. Anthropic is effectively giving us more tokens per $ on the monthly plans but it comes at the cost of Anthropic being the prompt-writers and managers of the agents pretty much entirely. I don't think this is a bad deal.

The Uber Bubble 4 years ago

like telling you that your ride will be booked soon when there are literally no drivers available

I got burned on this using Lyft to get the airport early in the morning. Scheduled the night before to pick up at 5am the next morning. No one was actually scheduled, and it was just searching endlessly for a driver in the area but there were none! No car services open, I had to call my mother and ask her to take us! I couldn't believe it and I'll never use one again. Only car services for me now, at least for anything that matters.

What changed in Denmark between the 90s and now?

Why do people, even in Denmark, send their kid to

private schools if they can afford it?

I'm not speaking on behalf of the OP here, but my interpretation is that what changed _was_ people sending their kids to private schools instead of intermingling as they did before. I believe you are asking about the "why", why did they start sending them to private schools or why did they stop sending them to public or community schools.

That could be a multi-faceted answer, and it could be very difficult to pin down even what the dominant factors are. I would also like to know about Denmark.

I will add that this same problem exists in some form in my own home town, so I don't know if it's something unique to Denmark. My guess is that it's probably something to do with competition in generation from many more people consuming increasing amounts of a diminishing supply of resources.

I agree, and they have no homepage or anything either. Unity was (is) a desktop environment alternative to Gnome. It used to be the default in 16.x but Gnome became the default in 18.x.

Remix is (I think) an updated, forked version of Unity that is now being maintained and advanced with the latest versions of Ubuntu. This is particularly exciting for me and other Unity lovers because I pretty much only use Unity as my DE. I have been manually installing it as a replacement for Gnome and this update is very exciting. I think Unity is a lot better.

It sounds like your contradicting yourself. You say placebos don't work and don't have an effect on anything, but in that example the kiss is the placebo. And then you say the kiss lowers their pain, which implies it does work.

Fixing the bugs is one thing, but identifying that user reported bugs are in fact bugs is an entirely separate issue. The latter takes a ton of time, requires no developers, and is what everyone above you in this thread is talking about.

Everything you said is conjecture. This is one of the most baseless and accusatory comments I've read here. It's so low effort and it's immediately transparent that you just don't like the guy.

Doesn't this entire issue corroborate the idea that this ISN'T just about a social media company trying to sell us shit?

Two of the issues you mentioned, state run gulags and anthropogenic climate change, are issues really only solvable at the federal level. Facebook's and Cambridge Analytica's ability to influence an election can have a profound effect on those kinds of issues. I mean, we now have a climate change denier in the White House who is dismantling the EPA. If propaganda spreading through Facebook created that, could that not also be partly responsible for our inability to do something about climate change?

That's just one example, but I think you're being just as hyperbolic by saying this wouldn't crack the top 100.

It's not hard, and I see 10-20 people per train car on the R going between Brooklyn and Manhattan. I've seen people standing and reading kindles in body-to-body crammed trains.

I don't think "tables are back" here, per se. Tables, like any HTML element, are to be used semantically, like for displaying tabular data. They bring a lot of extra, unneeded markup and they're not a good layout mechanism for different size screens. I do think Flex-box takes the good elements of tables and turns them into something great :D

That's what the firewall is for. I set up iptables rules on all machines that only allow fixed IPs on the local network access to specific ports.

If you're running it over the public 'net, then I think Mongo and Redis allow for username/passwords and/or encrypted transit.

This has never made sense to me. Why people think terra-forming Mars and moving 10Bn people there would be a better decision than just cleaning up the current planet we have? The amount of effort to rebuild our forests would be a blip next to what would be required to move to a new planet.

You went from stating the article is wrong, to saying that only smaller companies can take advantage of tax credits, threw in a red herring about all manufacturing companies, and then wrapped up with reforming the tax code.

The mental gymnastics here are stunning, and to claim tax credits and deductions aren't a direct transfer of money is like saying a credit card payment isn't, since it involves an intermediary clearing step.

At the end of the day, this IS a direct transfer of money to an industry that not only doesn't need it, but needs to be TAXED out the a-- to prevent further destruction of people's well-being.

Yea, but how does that help me in my dev projects? The nice thing about Bower/NPM is that you can pull repos at specific versions or pull in new versions of a project. Adding a line to my build script to include a file at (say) `./vendor/hackcss/dist/hack.min.css` is a lot easier than having to run his Gulp compilation script. CURLing or including this public link isn't really an option :/

I think the trend of front-end projects not providing a compiled `dist` folder with the assets for web inclusion to be a bad idea. This requires me to NPM install this "front-end code" (no Bower) and then add this Gulp compilation to my build. What happened to adding a `dist/hack.min.css`? Why no Bower?
