In Canada I never use Costco gas stations because the line ups are horrendous. Is that true of US Costcos as well?
I'm trying to be charitable here but a summary is literally the third sentence of the post, with the full definition linked: >> It uses the definition of "legally significant" from the GNU Project maintainer guidelines,…
This can't work: life expectancy (of humans) can differ more than 30 years around the world, plus there are significant differences between men and women, and corporations - which often own copyright on work for hire -…
you forgot the (tm) on the metrics system. That's a huge smell.
This is exactly how the RFK shit gets support: one person says "hey, I did it and I'm fine!" somehow get extrapolated to "it's good for _Everyone_"
The Venezuelan oil is essentially the same, and Canadian bitumen is much cheaper on the world market to account for this.
investors are irrational but actually tend to go the other way - too risk adverse. I'm not sure what a "greedy" investor is, TBH.
most don't even have 3-5 years "spending money" (whatever that is) in total savings; if you're keeping that in cash you're getting 2-3% annually while the market has doubled.
>> He was also more focused on being interesting and at least a bit provocative than being correct. So exactly like everyone today, but also interesting?
so this cuts both ways. You voluntarily publish your "beliefs" widely and publicly, be prepared to be called on it. Most of us choose not to do this, but if you want to exert influence you are held inviting criticism.
Remember when the ebola-infected monkey escaping containment was our worst possible nightmare? Now it's apprently some sort of tech-bro flex to be celebrated.
scanned through pretty much the entire post. Still waiting for the funny part.
part of this is by design, which unfortunately also makes very steep terrain not look as terrifying, but gives you huge FOV. I find in all but the latest Instas its the worse low-light quality that is most notable. More…

This administration - and last week specifically - has set a new level in corruption; nothing before compares.
It may seem glib, but if there are good ones out there, they're not typically "private-equity backed portfolio SaaS companies". IME (3 times now) this is where good companies go to die. I'll reluctantly take the naked…
they didn't win by attacking piracy head-on though, they made capitulation easy & nice enough for us to happily go along.
Goodwill almost always raises concern with authorities and audits, so I'd imagine so sort of quid pro quo version is equivalent to loudly yelling to be audited!
I do some IRL activities where many of the participants use social media apps to coordinate and plan sessions. I don't have any of these accounts so while I do miss out on some of the casual things, I just show up and…
Either your dates or experiences are off, because I've been working in software since 1999 and the easiest time to get a job was quite recent, in the back-half of COVID. The early 2000's were decent, but I didn't…
this is def. the #1 use case, and it's why we can't have nice things. I use the internet to go to places I already know most of the time; when I use a search engine to try and find something it's a complete failure -…
>> Who is Googles target audiance? I think this is an easy question to answer: 1. what's your monthly ad spend? 2. how many ads did you view lasy week? You're probably not their target.
let's be clear: Google is a titan because they successfully sold ads to people who sold to you. We were never the target market beyond building a monopoly on eyeballs, and it's questionable if their ad empire continues.…
6'4" with relatively proportionate body-parts: buy the tall/long and you're likely good. At your height, all bets are off!
really like duckdb and sorry to pile on, but the parent makes some strong points. I wonder if MotherDuck builds on http as well?
