It doesn't matter if it's Congress. At the end of the day America's internal governance systems are America's problem. The rest of the world should not care if a certain branch is …

Perhaps I am misreading Op's post, but it sounds like that's what they did? If they signed to purchase it, is that not buying it?

A government structure that changes isn’t inherently bad. The US has gone through multiple iterations just by reinterpreting a document. Other countries tend to be a bit more expli…

This nuclear argument is getting quite stale. Germany seems to be investing quite a bit in other energies just fine. https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/DE/live/fifteen_min...…

Not sure why you are deliberately misrepresenting the proposal here. You're free to continue working the extra hours. Maybe spend a few fewer hours working and repalce it with prac…

Anyone doing product integrations should recognize it’s a perpetual risk but why stick to the platform that will require US citizenship demands for future models especially when th…

Repeating trite platitudes only makes your argument sound weak and tired.

Blaming her is not the right call on this. The technology is absolutely amazing for the quality of life it’s given us, especially those with medical conditions, but the failure of …

If you have enough money to hire lawyers or can figure out how to get in contact with a law firm willing to work with you for the exposure, sure. If you aren’t lucky enough, you’re…

With plaid they get access to all of your account numbers. HR just sees a single savings account that I strictly use for direct deposit. They don’t see my actual savings account or…

I should have been more clear that I feel bad for the users. I don’t have much empathy for Google.

> They've essentially gotten roped into maintaining a huge chunk of internet infrastructure, for free. I’ll stop you here. Google offered it for free and, at the time, offered such…

1) Apple has had a lot of functionality gated for many years. I’d buy the “they need to refine it” if they had a track record of actually opening things up without the hammer of re…

I’d happily wager any amount of money I have access to that the people actually doing the implementation of these things are among the userbase. Someone has to write the code and I…

It’s exhausting enough to deal with services that change around on an annual/semi-annual basis with pricing and expectations. Now the expectation is that we should tolerate goalpos…

If someone is still using the “remembering IP addresses” argument in 2026 (or at any point in the 21st century), I question their technical competence in configuring a network corr…

Fiduciary duty is fun to define because I’d bet it could be argued both ways here. If you want to consider Costco’s low margins as a core factor as to why consumers choose them, op…

It absolutely is silly. I’ve been responsible for managing low-thousands of Linux servers with systemd and it’s standardized a lot of things that otherwise would’ve been a lot of b…

Whether an appliance OS uses SystemD or not is as silly of a concern as “does the lead developer prefer cheddar or brie” What about performance characteristics? Recoverability of w…

I agree that this is what everyone should strive to do but this quickly hits a limit. For example, IAM/S3/SQS policy evaluations can have profound impact on an application running …

No, the opinion section was absolutely not pushed towards libertarianism. Have you read it recently?

Agreed. AWS is downright hostile about giving you any idea about what resources you actually have deployed, to the point where it must be deliberately malicious. Even their billing…

This reads like vague posturing instead of accepting (or even just looking at...) the reality on the ground. I have about a dozen friends spread across 8 different mid-to-high leve…

There’s a size of enterprise where you can get away without PSTN integration but do need an answer for SSO and account provisioning/deprovisioning.

I unsubscribed from the News app subscription over their decision to bake in ads. I own multiple personal Mac computers, an iPhone, an Apple Watch, iPad Pro, a few HomePods, and a …
