Last time YouTube wanted to verify my phone number it was easier to find a free service to receive SMS than for Google to deliver it to my actual phone. And Google didn't care I "verified" a number assigned to other side of the world.

It is so confusing to me. I never worked for company that wouldn't self host its code repository and CI/CD. All the way back to SVN and when Jenkins was stil called Hudson. Most of the time there was also a local proxy for all 3rd party dependencies/artifacts. I understand why open source projects love GitHub but why are software companies depending on it?

His rants were more palpable when he blasted the design of PCB visible on screen, or vendor that didn't want to sell replacement parts, when viewer could see the damage at the same time. Now he is just another guy with mic. And while he fights for good cause I find his videos at least 5 times too long considering the actual content.

Isn't it simpler, in general, to just move the development off GitHub, while leaving existing repo in sync, so it can harmlessly drown in PRs from people who didn't bother to even read project contribution guidelines?

People don't seem medical services because they want to, they do it when they need them. It is the only industry where there price list might as well be replaced with "we will take as much as you can afford". No one can afford to be stingy with money with health and live of their loved ones on stake. It is very asymmetric situation, so it is clear to me why someone would want to ban for profit hospitals.

Strictly speaking there is that one startup that compiles entire models into huge ASIC. With trade off that entire hardware becomes outdated when new model version is released in 2-3 months.

No hurricanes there, so I guess they can just slowly rebuild walls to keep up with sea level and increase number of pumps already used to get rid of excess rainwater. Not great but manageable as long they secure enough money.

I guess Spirit will have most of assets liquidated before site author even finds a way to actually accept payments, and SEC won't care until that happens, it is too crazy even to waste time on investigating it.

> $20 billion in debt financing

This debt will carried by company resulting from merge. It might be not classic leveraged buyout but if they have any trouble with repaying it, it will end in asset liquidation all the same.
