He's totally fine with Nazis, although he will use his identity to deflect criticism.

Shopify is absolutely fine with selling hate products as long as you give them their cut. If you're using them for free web hosting they draw the line. They probably also didn't sp…

It's wild to me that despite tremendous resources and 100+ years of time capitalism still kills millions of people a year with starvation and preventable diseases. But every right …

I don't really see how doing collusion through a Python backend is separate from my point? They're doing an obviously illegal and immoral thing but wrapping it in a layer of techno…

Scavengers Reign is an amazing, 10/10 show and it's so depressing we'll never get a second season. I miss my telepathic dead wife salamander addiction metaphor.

Pretty sure the answer is ads. "Long-form" content has more opportunities to insert ads or sponsored content. There's not a lot of money to be made being quick and to the point. Pe…

Given the sudden urgency and pulling the old software, I'm assuming they're trying to avoid aging batteries exploding.

I think the key insight that the article misses is that when consumers interact with an app they have an excess of trust in "the app". I run an ecommerce site. It's hard as a small…

I would argue that stuff like Iceberg is really aimed at Data Platform Engineers, not BI analysts. Companies I've worked with in the past have 10-15 people on a Platform team that …

Yeah working in the data space I see a ton of customers using Iceberg and some using Delta Lake if they're already a Databricks shop. Virtually no Hudi.

The problem in The Big Short was that lenders bundled many loans with correlated risk and advertised the resulting bundle as less risky. Because of the demand for these bundles the…

I'm gonna say the people are real but they're green screened onto AI backgrounds. Although the man leaning on the pillar one is just uncanny for multiple reasons.

Does trump also support needle exchanges and safe consumption sites?

I saw a post about employees of Musk's companies and their reactions to his Nazi salute at the inauguration. The rise of fascism in America is definitely an interesting and pertine…

Ah yes high tech, an industry where there's famously no weird distorting influence from VCs subsidizing unprofitable business models to grab market share.

Unlike in America where... they say it's a national security threat and vote to remove it?

Spark is "in-memory" in the sense that it isn't forced to spill results to disk between operations, which used to be a point of comparison to MapReduce specifically. Not ground-bre…

"don't have much in common with warehouse workers" is so demonstrative of the American lack of class consciousness. The people making 200k a year are still workers. They may have s…

It is definitely tough to get tech workers to unionize. There's a lot of possible lines of organizing like not destroying the Earth, or not contributing to genocide, or solidarity …

This sounds conspiratorial but where I live this is literally the case. Owners of buildings and large businesses in the downtown core (which has been vacant due to WFH) are collect…

How can you get the definition of fairness so backwards? The King provides literally everything you take for granted and he should be punished because you are envious? I don't get …

I think OP is coming from the "temporarily embarassed billionaire" perspective where if only we had a libertarian hellscape without pesky laws they would be a funeral baron who run…

The idea that abolishing IP protections and letting AI companies run rampant is an offramp for wealth inequality is such a wild take to me? Realistically billionaires are using rac…

There's a good Money Stuff episode about this btw. They talked to someone whose job is to assess commercial properties on behalf of investment funds. There's a lot of obvious trick…
