yea if you ignore the public shitting, public pissing, drunkenness, the harassment of locals, then yea, it was only bouncy castles, or stuff like this

I think that's fine and great. We should ban TikTok if that's what we decide

but what about Instagram and X?

isn't this comment very infantilized in and of itself?

I’m getting the same, on my phone, over 5g

His wife wife or his unofficial wife?

China?

Comcast and Verizon have no lock-in?

what about your daughter's ability to get an abortion or health care coverage if she is unemployed?

are there elites that are not wealthy? or does wealthy elite just sound better as a soundbite?

I hope that when I die no one spends so much focus on the business aspects of what I built or the valuations

Why am I entitled to buy a house I isn’t understand

I've seen many reels for either borderline illegal activity or outright illegal activity

-MLMs

-"faceless marketing"

-"digital marketing" courses

-business loan scams

-counterfeit luxury goods

-extortion

Could you elaborate?

what does that have to do with japan?

kind of goes against having Ford F-150 be the highest selling vehicle in the US

"Sorting and filtering are best performed in the database, if possible, using ActiveRecord's tools."

this needs a big fat asterisk.

sometimes sorting in the database requires a filesort

if you know ahead of time roughly how many results are getting sorted in-memory it absolutely can be faster to do it in-memory than ask the database to do it

`You take a ship or train when speed isn't the objective, rather experience`

not sure if that's the case with HSR

how long does it take to unencrypted and back up your database at its current size?

how many pictures of genitals did you receive when you were 15?

I have found that many of the affluent engineers that I know exhibit this sort of... line of thinking. this how should I say, false frugality, that at the end of the day doesn't really move the needle much (since they're making 200-300+K TC minimum) but makes them feel good

people who will, instead of directly using their subsidized subsidized clipper card benefits, will load their clipper card with credit cards for the 2% cash back, and then manually submit an expense, creating an operational burden for their company finance team so that they personally can read the benefits of... $25 a year in cash back

people who will take UberPool/Lyft Line to save 4-5 dollars for their commute home at the expense of an extra 20/30 minutes instead of either a) just taking public transit or b) taking a regular uber

people who will buy take out containers and bring them to work to take company-provided catered food so that they can save $20 a day

people who will use credit cards to buy gift cards at grocery stores for 5% cash back (obviously if you buy a $1000 gift card for $50 cash back, that's great but you run the risk of either losing the card/and thus losing cash/losing the credit card purchase/price matching benefits/etc etc)

all in all I think regardless of income/net worth sometimes it's not about the money. they can afford it. but it just feels good to save a little bit of money relative to your net worth way more than the actual financial impact

did your company build something using LLMs or Gen AI?

and what has all of the crypto power usage lead to aside from wealth accumulation? did any of the other use cases pan out?

"The City (SF) has a fleet of transport vehicles that transport Seniors (old folks) around town. It would be much more cost effective to just have a bunch of Waymos available to Seniors."

this is what I meant.

The drivers of the fleet of transport vehicles are helping old folks in and out of the vehicles, which you wouldn't get with a waymo

a car cannot rape me

someone needs to get the seniors in and out of the cars...

until they elect a president that throws allies under the bus (I.e. NATO, NAFTA, etc) and gives state secrets to enemies

a republican admin denied Visa + plaid... so I wouldn't assume anything

he probably means the federal government lol

I don’t quite understand this kind of comment.

Is it to feel superior for not using something that you don’t get? Are you trying to make yourself feel better or to put down Snap users as brain damaged and/or undeveloped?

They have hundreds of millions of users, using it for all sorts of use cases. There’s many features or products that are not for me, but I still try to see why instead of this kind of dismissal.

Why make snarky remarks like this?

neither Japan nor South Korea are South East Asia
