I run an ecommerce auction website on wordpress that is highly dynamic and can't be cached. Bots are a waste of cpu. I even turned off "prefetch" requests as I found that (android …

I agree, it is an interesting thing to ponder. I often phrased it to myself that the cost of technical debt compounds the lower in the code stack you go. Said another way, tech deb…

So beware, i setup my APP3 on my daughters ipad and had hearing aids set with a hearing test. This way when connecting to my Pixel it would still apply the hearing aid adjustments,…

I agree. I see a lot of comments alluding to the 'regulations' being bad. They are there for a reason. To keep errant bankers from loaning out too much money and creating an even m…

Prices are set at the margins

Another thing that I read about on this topic was that once a land lord has gotten into a groove of extend and pretend they lower their costs and cut out the overhead of property m…

Interesting. Prices, as they say, are set at the margins - so given that, what kind of liquidity is there? How many are transacting? If the price hasn't shifted from $16k, it could…

50% is a stretch. 20% maybe, depending on the vehicle. But here is another consideration. Sales tax. If I buy a car and trade one in, the sale price that I pay taxes on is the pric…

I read a comment once that referred to this as the "sad spaceship" sound and I can't stop thinking about it. So on point. I hate it.

I would term it a Depreciating Asset, like a car or a building. Bitrot is real.

ok, so please don't take this wrong, but that last sentence was such a non-sequitur that I think I know what at least some of your problem is talking to other people. EDIT: wait, I…

Thats funny because I thought it was shift-enter that creates a newline in a field where an enter submits. Just shows the fractured nature of this whole thing.

While what you say is often true, it is a different problem and does not change the fact of the prior posters.

It's called Tragedy of the Commons, and it is just how things are unfortunately. I don't like it either, but if it wasn't this guy it would be someone else.

It makes me wonder if this is B-roll footage for a news piece.

> The subscription services have assumptions baked in about the usage patterns; they're oversubscribed and subsidized. Selling dollars for $.50 does that. It sounds like they have …

When you said this, lemming's all jumping off a cliff came to mind...

I've never been as scared in a car as I was in an Uber in Chicago going to the airport. That man drove around cars like we were bleeding out in his car and had to get to the hospit…

I love this. Thank you for introducing me to "Norman Doors". I hadn't realized someone else had described this in such detail. I have been complaining about this years. Ok this wil…

The point is that the 'maximum motivation level' for an employee is an inherent trait. It is a ceiling. Some people have high ceilings and some don't. If an employee has a low ceil…

You've really hit the crux of the problem and why so many people have differing opinions about AI coding. I also find coding more fun with AI. The reason is that my main goal is to…

Slightly off topic, or at least tangential, Zapier has one of the most user-unfriendly interfaces I have seen in a while. When you log in, they have a left hand toolbar that runs d…
