It is always interesting to me when people say they are "bad test takers". You mean you are bad at the part where we find out how much you know? Maybe you just don't know the mater…

im interested in the answer because I have not seen the same productivity increases with claude code and copilot. When I read comments like your original one I think that I must be…

If you have a 6% profit margin (i.e. grocery store) and then you have to pay 3% of basically all revenue, you are now at 3% profit margin. This is why Costco only accepts VISA - th…

we are not going to end public school. Just look at Kentucky where trump and R candidates won easily but the school choice amendment was crushed

AI is a term that changes year to year. I don't remember where I heard it but I like that definition that "as soon as computers can do it well it stops becoming AI and just becomes…

My company is an online lender - we use plaid so that users may instantly link their bank account. They have an alternative of verifying with micro-deposits, but that does take 2 d…

unlikely, who would pay the plaid bill here? they dont really have ala cart pricing - you have to create an account with them etc
