I moved to Render 3 or 4 months ago during Railway’s big GCP outage and have been very pleased.

I was interested in reading this until my slop detector went off at the paragraph starting with “It's worth being precise about where the benefit comes from, because it isn't raw speed.”

I love AI, but I really hate reading it.

This is a genuine question and not intended as an insult: do you have a personality disorder?

I love cars and driving them. But the modded Corolla/Civic/Accord/Camry (why) people have always driven me crazy because their mods often seem directed to inflicting their cars on everyone else, with loud exhaust, subwoofers, and (subjectively) garish cosmetics, rather than things that make it actually good to drive.

I recognize this is judgmental and it's unhealthy to always be annoyed at these people on the road, so I clicked the article looking for some empathetic understanding - and I really got it, UNTIL he told me about his "fire-breathing" exhaust and subwoofer. So it is about subjecting OTHER people to his car.

Does USAA sell the servicing too? Most credit unions sell their mortgages, but as long as they retain the servicing rights (which seems to be less and less), the borrower should be in good hands.

Well, as a 2 week tenured and very happy Railway customer until now, I am now a Render customer. Somehow DNS cut over within 1 min(!) and live after about 30 minutes of work. Not bad!

I’m a new customer and have been falling in love with Railway over the last 2 weeks, but this is quite the wake up call.

As a new customer of about 2 weeks, it was a lovely run with Railway until this afternoon!

I am a personal injury lawyer, and am therefore biased. But I submit that they are decidedly not undifferentiated - the problem is that there is no real way for you to differentiate them.

If I were seriously injured, there are about 10 personal injury lawyers in my small state that I would consider. There are no obvious external signals such as billboards, websites, or marketing that convey their superior strategic skill and they just have it qualities before a jury. But if you know them, you know.

If you need a lawyer, call another lawyer (preferably someone involved in the special interest bar association for that field) and ask them who you should call.

Only a handful! I am a terrible marketer and have no idea how to promote things.

For some reason, most of the AI-focused subreddits, like r/OpenAI, r/Anthropic, etc., seem to convey a sense of mass mental illness or delusion. For example, r/OpenAI is 95% focused on how OpenAI is horrible for taking away their virtual girlfriend/therapist model, 4o. r/Anthropic is 95% either rambling about usage limits in Claude Code or “showing off” by presenting a giant wall of AI generated text describing the stack for their latest zero utility vibe-coded project. I personally find value in vibecoding, but the signal to noise ratio in these spaces is insanely poor compared to generally anywhere else on Reddit, and I’m not sure what that says.

I am in Copenhagen for the first time and was wondering why there were 20+ people waiting in line at various ATMs last night. I think this explains it!

It’s a fair question and I find your comment to be an interesting example of resorting to a conspiracy theory because you don’t understand something that’s easily explainable.

The Boeing 737-800 has batteries that power certain things in the event of a dual engine failure, including cabin lighting.

Those same batteries, on 737s manufactured more than about 15 years ago, do not provide backup power to the flight data recorder or cockpit voice recorder.
