Towards the bottom of the article, I found the best tip (at least in my mind): "Buy month to month first. The clean pattern across every angry thread is prepaid annual plans meetin…

Not surprising at all. What are "action levels" supposed to do? It's basically a helpful suggestion to take action, but you don't have to. FDA obviously doesn't care about the well…

This is actually really neat. I appreciate the fact that all the meetings are scheduled up front, there is no live coding where candidates can be nervous or anxious. I think it's a…

What an awesome extension!

So another version of Grok? Bad jokes aside. What precedence is this going to set? Don't want to be on the current government's bad side? Just give them ownership stake and they'll…

Typical of any new product/service these days. The first few weeks/months are "free" (or included) and then they start locking up things behind a paywall (i.e.,. subscription). I g…

It's not as bad as cigarettes, so totally safer! /s The FDA (like many other US government organizations) are now just doing the bidding of the highest bidder (i.e. donor) and/or t…

Fair point. I'd add on that the company should explicitly spell out strong privacy as a feature then and charge more. Saying that "we won't use your data for training", but then no…

This bait-and-switch with privacy is what annoys me. I get that if the software was completely free, you are the product. But if I'm paying, why can I not have a privacy policy tha…

I share the same sentiment. I honestly thought that the price increases would occur as new products rolled out. Seems like with the "back-to-school" promotion right around the corn…

I think they removed the "cheaper" configurations. In essence, the barrier to entry to mac mini was increased without actually changing the original price tag. I suspect the new ma…

The price increases are unsurprising considering Tim Cook said it was "unsustainable" for Apple to keep absorbing the increases. Glad I ordered a new machine a couple days ago. I s…

The price increases are absurd for some configurations. Glad I placed my order for a new mb pro a couple days ago.

My first thought: You don't say?

I'm curious to know what software you're referring to.

Good point about the telemetry part. I've been using Little Snitch for the past few years and just block all the telemetry calls.

This is certainly a very useful resource - even for a seasoned data scientist!
