    I'm not quite sure how to place this. For general app telemetry there's https://opentelemetry.io and for tracking user behavior similar to how it's explained in your docs it looks …

    The big problem in academia very often is that you cannot simply take your research and finish your PhD elsewhere. With jobs you mostly can switch without losing much. Obviously de…

    You’re looking at salaries for COBOL programmers in the UK which is a small subset of an already small market.

    Ah yes, hence why Americans get their drivers permit at 16 and can shoot weapons and deploy to war shortly after.

    This seems a US centric problem. No one in Europe has carried checks since the 90s and large bank transactions are really a non issue as they resolve within a banking day and for a…

    What’s with the burden of proof? How do you prove that something was AI generated in the first place?

    The way it works in Germany is that the fine will go to the owner. The owner can then accept the fine or identify who was actually driving when the offence was committed. In case t…

    My guess is that their assets are similarly exposed like SVB or First Republic's. Any long term asset they hold has just lost a massive amount of value and so they need to make up …

    Amazing to see it still getting sold now in 2023. I own two of these and while they now sit in my garage I've probably used them for 15 years. I bought them exactly for the reason …
