I guess you assumed I'm from India, so I have no idea about US but, I'm living in the US for the past 2 years. And having lived in both places US payment systems are really backward.

Zelle is trying to solve it, but not widely accepted and is not even at scale what India has done with UPI. Direct Bank transfers take seconds not days.

Also we get OTP verification for every transaction, it's mandatory. People can't just randomly charge someone just because they know their A/C and routing. We do have credit cards too, but for it, one needs a good standing too, it's a privilege not a feature.

And Debt is bad for many people, who can't manage it.

And finally we don't have to depend on some 3rd party company(I've read enough PayPal, cash app horror stories). We have a default system between banks that just works, to make transactions instantly,secured and authorized.

So? Not trying to be snarky here, but I believe how you sell it matters more than what you are selling. People prefer GUCCI shirt even if the same material and color is available for peanuts from a generic brand. OpenAI is not building products, so other competitors will come, but creativity will go a long way.

I think we are at a looking where we just have to let go unless we are Disney, with an army of lawyers. May be it's time for the change in thinking. Having said that. Attribution allows a person to trace the source, it's not a success marker anymore. Probably, if enough negative statements generated by AI get popular, that could potentially piss of countries/people for example some LLM recognizing Taiwan as independent country you can bet China will push for attribution to sources. We have bills pending in multiple countries that want access to personal of encrypted messages to trace the source.

India has done this for more than a decade at this point with IMPS and NEFT, and recently UPI. And I'm sure several other countries have them too, but for some reason the US chooses to remain backwards in this case.

You aren't a rebel if you go mainstream, either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Since 12 years?

It's no different than using sign in with Google. And there are bajillion apps out there that offer sign in with Google, doesn't mean every Google user is subscriber of the app. Same thing with threads.

The Times square was the first place I visited in the US, Imagine a bright TV on four walls in a room playing unskippable YouTube ads. That was my feeling, I have no idea why people go crazy about watching ads. To each their own.

That's a huge bit of stretch, US congress doesn't control the rest of the world. General US public will either be left behind or VPN subscriptions will rise.

I guess all that reddit content scraping is a net profit.

But in this case it actually is a onliner to spin up a VPN and the relevant mobile/PC client apps are already there. One click deploy scripts are available for digital ocean, AWS, GCP, Azure etc. This OG Dropbox comment was too snarky, for a genuine use case, the solutions in those comments were actually complicated than using Dropbox, while spinning up your own VPN is actually safer and better wrt streaming services etc, not easy but serves the purpose in a safer and better way.

Releasing a beta product to operate a product that weighs a ton, and quickly accelerates to 60mph in seconds, while not strictly evaluating the end user before granting access, and then marketing it as "Full self driving", while it even fails to do basic, "slow down at curves", is something which makes them deserved for the hate.

Building a karma/content farm? :P

I think you would be very interested to read their takes on HN articles and Fossdem :p

The problem with Firebase I've seen is not the E2EE but rather the ACLs being set. There have been 10s of websites that were exposed to public, that have been exposed in the recent past. Not to claim you are doing something wrong, just a caution to anyone who uses firebase.

Temperature check

The new blockchain.

Is it /s? If not, deploying a kubernetes cluster and over engineering it?

Market dominance?

A good read before dismissing http://n-gate.com/software/2017/

The data which he acquired for free in the first place? Hypocrisy much?

Learning to code is smart? Astronauts, doctors, lawyers, bankers and other gazillion jobs be damned. Coding is the dumbest job in my opinion compared to PM, or journalism. Could you survive the Ukraine war coding?

Dude the top AI company, "Open"AI, founded by Sam Altman is a board member of reddit, I'm all for conspiracy but at least get the basics right. I myself have a conspiracy theory that he is pressuring Reddit to build a moat. Also disallowing API access does shit, to stop API companies from scraping anyway, because they can still scrape off the site like how search engines do it, so even my conspiracy may only be true to certain extent. Also mods are volunteers, they keep the community conformant to the sub rules, mods who don't watch their content will lead to comments like "Why is this on this sub", "sub has gone to shit", there are people who genuinely take care of their subreddit. They're kind of unpaid janitors.

Suggesting random people to adopt a pet, is in my opinion wrong, unless you know the person well. Pets are not a thing, they need care, responsibility, time, additional budget and other factors you could include if you are gonna have a baby.

I think I can play both sides, GIMP vs Photoshop, Photoshop Vs GIMP. Both have great engineers but sales and marketing is subject to opinion based on how you see them.

Probably didn't read the title and article properly

Does no one in the government or their families use consumer mobile or data networks? That they have to ask the public about this? Or even ask themselves how Unlimited is supposed to mean up to 5GB per month.

If you check their FAQ section, there is a sample in it.

Even if it was serious, anyone who could achieve that can thanos snap the humanity off earth, that's interesting.

I generally disagree with your popular comparison with, There is building a knife, and there is building a knife that is optimized to cut human flesh, with supportive ergonomics.
