More expensive and worse in most ways. Just like most things in the current stage of oligopolies.
I’ve gotten a few of those “lite” version license cards over the years but had already invested in logic.
I was on a public highway.
The constitution was written centuries ago and its authors expected the founding documents to be routinely updated.
Surreal in that I’ve only dealt with that sort of thing (army checkpoints) in places that have active armed military conflicts.
I despise this sort of tax on our time as consumers. It’s getting to the point that someone should run on the “if you wanna do business in the US and you’re not going to employee citizens as customer service reps you…
Isn't there a difference between getting picked up on someones Tik Tok "broadcast" and a private/public surveillance operation?
Probably selling data to CBP/DEA. I went through a combined military and police checkpoint a bit north of Rio Hondo last August and it was surreal.
There definitely is a prosperity gospel in America that is increasingly influencing our politics.
Taxes are disproportionately applied. We have more than enough taxes on working people and not enough on the wealthiest classes.
A significant portion of modern professional jobs can be done remotely and this has been true for decades.
When using LLM's to help write things like tutorials, how do you reduce the verbosity firehose? Even though I use MD/skills and other methods, I have remind models that they are not paid by the word multiple times a day.
Thanks. And yea, my PR was in 2004. Citizen now but living in the US again.
Mine is a different issue - I've produced hundreds of specifications over the years and it's obvious that implementation teams don't read them at all before they are "approved" because I never get questions or comments…
The only point I would disagree is that I do find LLM's to be useful. I am only "forced" to use them as a matter of staying economically competitive against my competition, but I do find it like having a second opinion…
I feel like I am repeating myself a lot lately, but I think that the "middle class" of software/tech companies is being eroded as fast as the middle classes of North American societies. The oligarchs just buy everything…
The thing about consulting is that someone needs to verify the output, know what questions to ask in the first place, and provide a throat for the client to choke in the event of an issue. Also, professional insurance.…
I did it 20+ years ago and I had to “land”. They’ve relaxed a lot of immigration rules since then so it might have changed.
But does America have a trade imbalance with Canada? Canada has things that our economy needs desperately (e.g. potash).
In Canada I had to leave and re-enter for my permanent resident status to complete. It’s not that uncommon - but it’s a pain.
Last time I checked, Canada was the largest trading partner of 27 states, directly and indirectly. Disclaimer; I’ve lived in both countries and am a dual citizen so not unbiased.
On one hand I am glad that (hopefully) some people were rewarded for their hard work. On the other hand, do we have to live in an oligarchy?
About time.
Ahh. I’m a dual citizen and the entire time I lived in the GTA (18 years) it seemed he was in Canada so I assumed.
Isn’t Gibson Canadian?
