Doing all the other things deemed more high- priority by the business (like meeting SOC-2 audit requirements; answering field questions about network architecture because people do…

I’m speculating it’s because most phones know how to natively handle PDFs (and not CSVs).

And, yes, it's a really neat stove... for wealthy people. At an installed cost of ~$8k (more if you're having to replace a standalone oven/cooktop since you need the stand for it),…

I'm not sure I agree. Unless you believe there needs to be a plan for CA to secede in the future and thus it needs to be self-sufficient, why does manufacturing need to be in CA? A…

Has there been a similar evaluation of 1Password?

Your advice there is really valuable. Thanks for providing it. I've always wondered how to post-process my night images, and this is a really good guide for that.

The coolness peaked before the “the network is the computer” phase, IMO. Late 80s vs mid 90s.

It’s interesting that people pay close attention to one-size-fits all number (regardless of the pros and cons of the methodology used to derive said number). I find RT really usefu…

Given that it costs NN ~$5 to manufacture, and it's an effective drug that's an also-ran in the market, why still charge such a huge markup? NN should be selling it for $35-$50/mon…

What is your source to justify your claim (stated as a fact) that Hamas is diverting supplies and then selling them? Here [1] is a recent article in the NYT this week quoting two u…

Thank you for your opinion (stated as a fact, I'll add) that Israel doesn't occupy Gaza. Can you please state your source for this belief? To state why I believe Israel is occupyin…

Oh, I apologize for misunderstanding you! I think the best thing you can say is that Hamas has a non-military arm that has provided enough social services that Gaza didn't collapse…

You (a) did not respond to my question and (b) now stated a claim that I'm arguing for confirmation bias without articulating an argument backing this new claim. I would love to un…

The UN definition is quoted here: In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, r…

Have you considered that your framing exposes implicit bias? It breaks posts down in a binary (pro- or anti-Israel) formation. It’s not that simple. One can be deeply sympathetic t…

> The US is responsible for more than 25% of the UN's funding and is ~5-6x more than other members of the Security Council [1]. This is disproportionate to its obligations or its p…

The UN was founded in the shadow of WWII to prevent further global conflicts. It also established a global standard for human rights and to provide a forum to uphold international …

It is utterly weird to me that so many commenters here appreciate the Barbican's aesthetics. To me, it is an ugly eyesore that's a legacy of the brutalist wave of the mid-20th cent…

“…if you have an extremely successful AI program that uses Llama code, you'll have to pay Meta to use it. That's not open source. Period.” Apparently the author is not familiar wit…

Why would the stewards of a walled garden want other gardens (walled or otherwise) be as good as theirs? What moral or economic imperative exists for such a belief? Why is that bad…

Shahryar, have any of your relatives in Pakistan bought stablecoins through this platform? How do you do KYC for a Pakistani customer?
