Company founder/early executive. It’s a new thing every day and to top it off every year or so, if things are going well, your whole job gets reinvented!

Just put a 6th finger on your hand and you’re good to go!

I think he does a good job at explaining both sides and calling for a root-cause solution, but he’s definitely leaving out an important piece: the data collected by all the US social media companies can’t just be taken by the US government. They need reasonable causes and go through channels where their access should be checked before they can get their hands on the data. The Chinese government, on the other hand, can just compel TikTok to hand over the data they want.

I don’t like the data overreach by all big us tech companies, but at least their data has some safety rails around its usage.

I understand the “but I like TikTok” crowd, but China bans US companies from operating in China all the time. Why is it all of a sudden a problem when we do it to them?

Seconded, it’s amazing for occasional reddit use when you don’t want your eyeballs seared by the normal interface!

Not 100% sure but I figured it was because so many people live in NJ and commute to NYC every morning, so this new congestion charge might get people to leave NJ for somewhere with better train/transit options

Republicans.

Some people, especially in staff+ engineer levels, just want to work on their little piece of an ultra complex data center problem and are happy doing it. From my experience, they don’t seem to care what the broader company is up to, they’re just immersed in their n-of-1 problem space and happy that they get to solve it.

Not saying it’s the right thing to do, but not everyone actively cares about their company. It’s a paycheck and fulfilling technical problem solving to them.

You might be able to just pull out the SIM card from your glove box. It needs a cellular connection to share data, but without a SIM card it can’t get data.

Not sure if it has any ill effects (ie: disabling emergency response stuff) but might be worth it depending on how privacy conscious you are.

I used Ollama locally and it worked decently well. Code suggestions were fast and relatively accurate (as far as an LLM goes). The real issue was the battery hit. Oh man, it HALVED my battery life, which is already short enough when running a server locally

You go through it on arrival in Canada. It’s the only way off the train.

I took Amtrak between Seattle and Vancouver recently. Great trip, stellar views, and overall just a super easy way to cross the border. No crazy invasive checks or waiting in lines, it was just like getting off a plane, but in the middle of downtown.

So you were just a normal anti-vaxer before the crazies came in?

Yogurt is always hit or miss for me, but for the most part we don’t use it that often, so I’d say my average time from open to scraping the bottom is around 4-5 weeks.

Sure, there’s no place for trucks to unload, but take that space from cars, not bikes. Cars can circle the block or wait for 10 mins while they unload, but bikes passing by need to use the space for 5 seconds.

I usually knock on the door gently with one of my knuckles for asshats really obstructing the bike lane.

From the inside it sounds like I hit them, but realistically there’s no harm.

I’ve had one or two people get out of their cars, but most people just get the idea that they shouldn’t be parking there and move on.

Not to shill, but this is the primary reason why I’ve stayed with FIOS for the past few years. That and the fact that there are no contracts, it’s just a flat fee, forever. No promotion period or anything, either.

Presumably until Bluesky IPOs there’s nothing he can do to buy it, right?

I truly don’t know how some people work if not in a manic state for 10 hrs straight because you have a bunch of stuff due at the same time

I guess I could spread out the work, but sometimes I’m passively thinking of the best way to tackle it and other times it’s a task I don’t like doing.
