I wonder if this is firmware related. I've had a Samsung TV for a few years now that I've never connected to the internet, so my firmware is likely very out of date, and it has never displayed a message like that.

How popular is Grok compared to other companies models for SWE tasks? I almost never hear it talked about against OpenAI's or Anthropic's products

For me, I've found that some curved displays are better than others. My home monitor is curved, on a seemingly very large radius, and I love it!

However some that I've used that are more curved make everything look distorted.

you beat me to it :)

I have this conversation with my wife (who is an avid book reader) at least once per month. I read so many technical documents for work, via my computer, that I often don't want to read a book for pleasure.

> Companies forget this.

they don't care about your commute at all. "if [c-level exec] can make it to the office every day, so can you" not to mention that, said exec does not in fact make it to the office every day

I agree, I don't need an existential crisis every time I open a terminal session

similar, only I use dadjoke and the thinking cow to keep things a lighthearted :)

I love FF and have gone back you it for the last few months, after using chrome for years, CPU and battery usage is great now, but coincidentally I've been getting these weird hangups on my laptop. So yesterday I opened up my activity monitor with 6-7 tabs (including 1 youtube tab in a separate window) open I found FF using ~12gb of memory on my MBP. Then to get a comparison, I opened the exact same tabs in a chrome browser (separate window for youtube and all) and found it using under 1gb of memory. This may be is an exceptional case, but for now I just don't have the memory to run FF with docker and dev environments up too.

It's same with a lot of the rural south too. Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas. I grew up driving past these types of towns all the time.

One of my go-to closing questions in interviews is to ask them if they have any concerns/doubts about hiring me for the role.

So far I've gotten pretty good and honest feedback from it. It also gives me an opportunity to explain myself and/or try to turn around any doubts.

I think the reason is 2 part.

Part 1 being often these "junk" processed foods are cheaper to buy for more quantity. eg. a box of macaroni and cheese can feed a family of 4 on $2USD. Possibly mix in a couple hotdogs which on the cheaper end can cost under $5USD for 16. in the end your feeding a family of 4 dinner for under $5.

Part 2 being time. Typically in lower income families (I grew up on the low end of the "middle class") both parents are working. my mother didn't have the time or energy to come home from and 8-10 hour work day and then cook for the next 90 minutes. that same box of macaroni and cheese (with hotdogs) can be made in ~30 minutes with little attention to it. and once my sister and I were old enough to help out, it was something we could do for her.

Thats my anecdotal and oversimplified answer anyway :)

> Apple also maintains very high margins, something that leaves more than enough room for another company to compete on price. The trap here is instead of producing a good product at a better price, most companies produce the cheapest possible product in a race to the bottom.

This is what companies like Anker and Aukey are doing too. They compete directly against Apple's accessories with a well polished, durable product, for cheaper than what Apple charges.

They mention smoking it, isn't smoking ANYTHING be harmful to your cardiovascular health? What is the increased risk vs cigarettes vs cigars etc.? How does this hold up for users who smoke it vs. eat it?

Which card is that, that takes away the incentive? I use Apple Pay pretty frequently and still get my cashback rate, or double points incentives on the cards that I use.

Don't forget the defense industry, a lot of my friends who graduated from UCF went to Boeing, Lockheed, and Homeland Security

Cafe colada is what I miss most about Miami, having now moved to California :(

Do they really need a captcha on BOTH username AND password input? I get that they are different submit pages, so they are likely querying the database on each page, but is that really necessary? I don't see any benefit from it, as a user, while trying to log in to my account.

At a previous company I found an internal excel document with everyone's salary, from the CEO down to his assistant. On the doc my salary was inflated ~25K to what my actual gross was, I can only assume these perks/benefits were included on top of the salary. But it shows they see that on paper that's how they saw my salary hit. I think it would be wise to include these in your previous "salary".

I never did find any more details on the document though :(

This happened to me, not necessarily in a bad way, but makes me think what I should've asked for.

I attempted to do research on the company and their salaries for that position via glassdoor, salaries in the area, etc. (they are rated as an open company). They asked what I was looking for in compensation, so I went little bit higher than what my homework said they were paying (this was still substantially more than my current pay), we negotiated a tiny bit on bonuses, but eventually got the amount I was "looking for" in my offer letter.

In the end they ended up being a great company to work for, and I'm really happy there.

On the bright side, that's much less of a budget cut than what I was expecting!

I know that it's not, I just said that I like it better than the two-factor auth that I use elsewhere. If I need to pull out my phone; its just easier to click my notification and click "approve", than to go to Authy to get the 6 digit code, and type it in to my computer.

I started using their "Account Key" process, any time I log in on the site from a computer, I get a notification from my Yahoo sports app (iPhone) asking me if I would like to allow the login attempt. I actually like it better than the two-factor auth I use for other accounts. Whether it's more secure or not, I don't know..

EDIT: just for clarification, this replaces the password entirely. So I never enter a password on the site.

I was recently on an Alaskan Air flight which did just that. It had no TV's on the plane, but power outlets right on the back of the seat. For all of their in flight entertainment, they directed you to their app or site once you connected to the in flight Wi-Fi (for free). I ended up not using it and reading instead (the free content wasn't great) but I really liked the idea and it seemed to work great just poking around, as I did.

While its been a long time since I've been on an airplane _without_ Wi-Fi, I don't often see power outlets. And as you alluded to, most of the time its $10 for the duration of that flight, whether its 5 hours or 30 minutes.

I feel like something is broken on here. There isn't a single red or yellow icon, where I live, in LA either.

I always look for restaurants for a limited menu for precisely this reason, and am rarely disappointed by them. on the flip side I find it a turn off when a place has a 3-4 page menu, and the food is often (but not always) mediocre.

I recently moved states and was in person at the DMV. I handed the clerk an existing (out of state) license that had a corrective lenses restriction on it, and I informed the clerk that I was currently wearing contact lenses before taking their eye test. They still didn't put the restriction on it..

That seems like more of a pricing issue if the business can't break even. I have a good friend that uses Groupons for his business. What he has shared, is that customers that come in with a Groupon, often come with a sense of entitlement. I know this isn't the rule, and maybe it a defense mechanism from the customer who thinks the business is giving them a "second rate" experience. However, this ultimately led him to ending his Groupon deals.
