Paired with "priority support" and "cheaper" repairs for the much more frequent breakdowns

That was the plan to begin with.

Great way to dispense a few billion of taxpayer money in settlements as a favor while everyone's distracted by the story and laughing about how dumb RFK and Trump are.

They're not that dumb. Anything that seems particularly illogical has underlying motives. Look and you'll find more instances of this. Much more.

That was literally my first thought reading the title too.

> A website set up by an unknown Dane

Next sentence,

> The website was set up by Joachim, a 30-year-old software engineer living in Aalborg, Denmark

? Is this what journalism has come to? On top of calling this a spam campaign?

No, mostly less external compute

> I doubt we will see unused GPU capacity

I'd argue we very certainly will. Companies are gobbling up GPUs like there's no tomorrow, assuming demand will remain stable and continue growing indefinitely. Meanwhile LLM fatigue has started to set in, models are getting smaller and smaller and consumer hardware is getting better and better. There's no way this won't end up with a lot of idle GPUs.

> Yeah they fucked Heroku hard

Surprisingly not as much as I'd thought when they took it over. They just never adjusted pricing to remain competitive. The experience is still some of the best you can get for RoR apps. But nobody in their right mind deploying a new application today would look at their insane 10 year old dyno pricing and be like - yup - reasonable

AI is absolutely NOT filling any kind of SWE roles, especially not mid tier

Does Peertube not have federation or similar? This will never take off if users have to visit dozens of different instances each specifically for one interest of theirs.

Well, sometimes it's better to not be able to escape as quickly and actually have to accept and deal with it head on. At least for me personally.

I usually try to anonymize whatever is going on. Personal conversations key details removed or slightly modified, no real person or company names at all, etc

Code I only run through the zero-retention API accounts anyway.

> Our Customers Got Happier

They absolutely didn't.

I still wonder why they literally don't seem to care in Europe. I've overdrawn billing accounts (by accident) two times, one 10 years ago, one a year ago. Nothing happened until I remembered about them months and months later, I went to check and both times the accounts were just sitting there closed. Checked my email and they sent like two payment reminders in the first 2 weeks and then nothing ever again.. the one 10 years ago is still sitting there.. it's not like they couldn't have sent it to debt collections, that's also a popular thing here lol.

> As mentioned in one of the opening paragraphs, this washer has a tendency to take longer than it says it will.

I feel like that's true for every washing machine that has ever existed

Yup, same. My Google API costs were way too high. Sonnet and Opus 4 are much better now so they take care of most of my "easier" tasks. Gemini 2.5 Pro is still somehow better for larger scopes so I have it do all the pre-planning and larger tasks

Given the intraday patterns in the US and other stock markets I doubt this is limited to India

So how did JavaScript break the web then?

It didn't. Badly engineered sites suck. Nothing new.

These are not normal reactions to being under the influence of psychedelics but latent mental illness being activated.

I had to get off my SSRI because I'm apparently prone to prolonged QT interval and the SSRI could cause sudden cardiac arrest. (I am not a fetus)

I never got lifetime subscriptions even when it would've made financial sense. What defines a lifetime? Definitely not my lifetime... Offering them is a way to raise quick capital in my mind, it's not an economical benefit to them, it's a company in need of cash. And that possibly implies something about the expected lifetime of the lifetime subscription.

It's totally possible to do a test and see which bacteria are causing havoc in your mouth, and then target them specifically with antibiotics and such. Granted you'll have to pay good money for it even here in the EU, but I'm considering getting it done too because like you said the other option is completely untargeted mechanical treatment..

Ad aside, what's wrong with that? Ketamine is proving to be extremely effective at treating depression

While I absolutely agree on the topic of hand, Aurora isn't necessarily the best example.. for what it offers it's "relatively" cheap.. and please don't mention Hetzner now, we're talking fully managed extremely reliable, redundant and multi-AZ databases

It's been about China all along.

I absolutely love the AI labyrinth Cloudflare implemented recently. Wasting their time and resources and feeding them more and more garbage. Wonderful.

My girlfriend has Crohn's disease that can be directly correlated to food poisoning while on vacation. Now years later I can't even count the times I've read and heard exactly the same story from other people with Crohn's disease. A simple search for "Crohn's food poisoning" turns up hundreds of results. I can't believe this is not being investigated with higher priority

And also not if you value your battery life and good charging speeds.

I'm sure many of us have figured this out, it's just that there's no alternative for most.

I live in Europe and we are all unionized and I hate to break it to you but we're still creating much more value than we earn for someone else. Our work conditions may be significantly better - I work 40h/week with unlimited vacation (within reason ofc) and sick days - yet still burnout happens frequently and necessitates costly rehabilitation trajectories.

We deal with the consequences better, and I'm grateful for the conditions here, they may well be much worse elsewhere, but the core issues remain. Humans aren't built to work mentally straining jobs for 8 or more hours per day, and the fruit baskets and vacations only do so much. I believe a four day work week would help some of it.

Man this sucks, just as I spent months integrating it into the payment pipeline of my side business app. Maybe I just shouldn't accept cards, or only through PayPal or something.
