It baffles me that people actually take these assertions seriously, especially after having used different software that uses voice input, like Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa or whatever. Those things make some serious mistakes even under ideal circumstances, and you want me to believe that they can accurately overhear things in non-ideal circumstances? I highly doubt it.

Regardless, you can use an ad blocker to make this a moot point - I’ve never experienced anything even close to this, because I never get ads.

Milei has already claimed that title.

Microwaving some leftovers might be an option. You get the great food you put effort into making, without actually having to make the effort at lunchtime.

S-tier soundtrack on THPS2, hard agree OP

Average 350k according to levels.fyi.

I was expecting higher for principal tbh

Spill the beans!

I’m sure they make enough money to not care. Being in the part of the company that brings in the dough is generally a pretty good position to be in as well.

Podcasts often dynamically generate ads at the point of download, making the SponsorBlock-approach unviable: since the media is expected to be variable-length you can’t store media positions that map to advertisement segments.

Healthcare is pretty rough, I’d be willing to bet that the grass actually is greener in this case.

Absolutely deranged

Should have say: self-hosting is always superior to cloud hosting.

That statement still comes with a pretty damn big caveat though - you need to have the know-how, the time to invest and the hardware (i.e money) to actually set something like this up.

If all of those are true, then self-hosting can definitely be an attractive option for you.

It’s only true for a vanishingly small fraction of the population, though.

Hence, Bitwarden is a pragmatic solution that will be superior for the vast majority of the population.

Also, local software and database is always superior to cloud.

Now there’s an unfounded blanket statement if I ever saw one.

Bitwarden is probably a more pragmatic choice for most users, given that it’s free and without having to manage the syncing yourself.

Any password manager is better than the alternative, though.

There are a few reasons for this, some of the most important being:

• The languages were not designed with speed primarily in mind and as such made some design decisions that fundamentally cannot be optimized around
• Authors of programs in these languages prioritize things other than performance when writing the programs.

Speed is not just about processors becoming faster - this is a large part of why DSA is important to learn as a programmer.

Three questions is a stupid format for stand-ups. True waste of time.

South Park fell off for me right when Trump got elected. The world just got too absurd for South Park to properly make fun of at that point, I suspect.

Product launches are the vehicle for attaining promotions at Google, allegedly. Maintenance does not get similarly rewarded, nor does launching projects and having them live on to actually be successful.

When the launcher got promoted and moved on, they have to figure out whether to keep the thing around, and the answer is generally going to be no since few things can really compete with the infinite money glitch that is search ads.

The cost of storage in this case is more or less irrelevant - traffic is what matters here. You’re also not getting any mentionable bulk discount on the servers for that matter.

The key is that you can engineer things in completely different way when you have trivial amounts of traffic hitting your systems - you can do things that will not scale in any way, shape or form.

Their scale was also an insignificant fraction of what Netflix has, making the point even more irrelevant.

The best figure I could find on Jetflicks user count was 37k, where as Netflix has 269 million users.

I don’t see any good reason why the merits of hydrogen for vehicle fuel would be any better than production and disposal of batteries. The other cases I agree that hydrogen will have a useful niche.
