The article does say that he’s already given away this amount of money since the founding of Craigslist 30 years ago. From the sound of things he’s always actively doing philanthro…

The key distinction here is that the temporary workers would presumably be people who are in federal custody and currently housed in ICE facilities. The temporary housing isn’t the…

Serious question – what’s the grift?

I think the terrifying part is just how fast software practitioners completely gave up trying to understand anything. As if these oracles actually know anything about our bespoke s…

I think authentication is about proof of identity. Identity can mean a lot of things imo. Applications identify me all the time without me giving them any proof of who I am. This h…

Second the room treatment. It should likely be prioritized over everything. Specifically you should look into getting bass traps and a gobo or three. There’s budget stuff out there…

I was in a meeting to talk about our logging strategy at an old company that was starting micro services and experiencing this problem. In the meeting I half heartedly suggested we…

This is a pretty cool idea to add a social element to everything. I don't think I'm necessarily in the target demo but still this looks really cool

Nah I think the OP post still works here. You might have requirements of a car that only some niche manufacturer can meet because you have a very specific problem to solve. Let’s s…
