Miss Marjoribanks volume 2

This isn’t slashdot. This is not a server under someone’s desk. This is not a quirky fight for freedom through internet protocols. Y combinator is power, influence, money, and all the abuse that may come with that.

This will never exist. The announcement is the final product.

But you’ll never know if the writer you respect is generating future novels with an AI trained on their past writing. Maybe this is better, but in a very short time, AI writing will be indistinguishable from human writing.

Yes. Sorry that was vague. Chrome dominance is bad for the open web and Google is a bad actor in every space they inhabit. Web devs who code for chrome are as bad as those who coded for ie 6 before chrome.

Chrome saved us from an abysmal browser market and endless websites that said “best viewed in Internet Explorer 6”.

Support ticket from Carvana yesterday told me to try chrome if I was experiencing problems. An open web won’t stay open for long if there’s a browser monopoly.

Get a white collar job. Even if it’s just in the trailer at the construction site. Moving to the other side of the fence will get you connections.

Not necessarily an easy thing to do. But something to work toward.

We have really good insurance and now that my partner needs treatment for a chronic illness, they are denying the treatment. It’s lowering her quality of life, may lead to her death, and it’s absolutely standard operating procedure for insurance companies. It’s a delaying tactic.

Healthcare is hard here.

Serious answer: you’re really bad at practical reasoning.

Not a fan of meetup but there’s no reservation fee in place. You can host free meetups like you always could.

I’m in two meetup groups that have regular meetings and attendees pay nothing.

If wealth disparity continues to increase these treatments will likely be unavailable to average people. Get rich or support economic policies that prevent oligarchs and billionaires.

My daily driver OS crashed multiple times a day 20 years ago and laptop hardware was sus at best. So yeah, I think quality is better. Also, look at cars. So much better with every decade that passes. It’s incredible.

It all makes sense if you assume he’s a dumb guy who got rich by accident.

Some thoughtful comments in this thread so I would like to add something pithy and under-appreciated: once you reach a certain number of users, content moderation is the only thing that matters; everything else is ui chrome.
