  1. This! I still come back to SO, but only after exhausting all AI proposed solutions across multiple models.
  2. Sanctions against someone they need to contain Russia?
  3. The EU is fine with it, because there are no principles in geo-politics. All their hue and cry about Ukraine is also because of their own security, not any virtue. Laughably it was the EU that went along with US plans to deorbit Ukraine from Russia's influence.

    The only way for Venezuela to survive is to play dirty and be cunning/resourceful just like their Ukrainian counterparts fighting for their life.

  4. I like your flexible pricing structure, that is refreshing. Just the other day I wanted to try out a SaaS and the minimum signup was for 12 months.
  5. They still go to TSMC for fab, and so does everyone else.
  6. Linux, VS Code, Electron, Ghidra, Sqlite
  7. GDP is growing so its not a recession by the traditional definition. But the number of well paying jobs is not increasing overall. You can still become a bartender or a contract/gig worker, those are still in demand.
  8. 1. Only a small subset of people have access to them.

    2. The hype around the files means they are secure/well guarded. Such kind of act is expected unlike lets say the Snowden files.

    3. Retribution would be swift, even if you don't believe in Epstein killing himself.

    4. The adversary list may involve a certain beloved foreign government. If Epstein was an intelligence asset as alleged. This increases the risk further for the leaker dying an unnatural death.

  9. >>Because nothing is going to happen irrespective of my abilities.

    If you have spare time, have you tried upgrading your skills? IT Support is not exactly high paying to begin with.

  10. South Korea is capable enough to build nuclear submarines even if the US had denied them the said facilities. This saves them money, not having to modify their shipyards.
  11. The fan has to be very fast for this to work, otherwise the little buggers find pockets and crevasses around you to shelter from the air and then eventually bite.
  12. That is the way of the world, capitalism specifically. The only way to counter is a fair tax system and good spending on education up to college level.
  13. The woke crowd of today would have gotten stickdeath.com banned from the internet were it made today :)
  14. I would think that data centers scale up horizontally and a failure of one node should only affect a limited number of customers. Barring any centralized DNS mess up of-course.
  15. You can also build data centers in far off places, near dams or wind corridors. We are not at the level of desperation to start nuclear programs underground.
  16. The GA4 transition was a one time thing, the rest I can live with for now. Not enough friction for me to want to switch. Especially since I know, a search engine is unlikely to depreciate a product like Analytics anytime soon.
  17. I think the following quote summarizes Broadcom's strategy with regards to VMWare:

    "If you are a Global 2000 company, VMware wants your business — from the rest, not so much,”

  18. How good is this compared to most commercial OCR software?
