My experience with people who "don't like the taste of coffee" usually has been that they don't like how bitter and strong the taste is, which is almost always tasting the "roast" …

The article doesn't appear to say that OpenAI is a monopolist - it's more a conflict of interest: However, YC is also closely tied to OpenAI, which is now directly competing agains…

Quick question - is it possible to import multiple files at once? I frequently get ZIP files full of csv/xlsx files that I need to search through. I didn't see a way to import more…

Over 200,000 homes were damaged or destroyed in Katrina: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction_of_New_Orleans Not sure how that is a "tiny fraction" of homes. $125 billion i…

us-east-2 seeing tons of S3 errors.

Not sure what they use but I've used Speedtest CLI: https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli works good.

Yeah I can't access our services on us-east-2 on AT&T 5G but CAN on my CenturyLink fiber.
