Astro support - interesting

This… it was a natural flow.

I’ve switched to Ubuntu too but my muscle memory is Redhat so still sometimes annoying- never got into Debian though

That idea that people believed Nikola is crazy. I read the report. The cto was a concrete guy family member or something. The vehicle they used to show things working was rolling down a hill - I’m just amazed that so few look closely enough at this stuff. Didn’t read the adani report beyond auditor stuff which also seemed shaky

I’ve had good support experiences at amazon actually

Wow - this is really not great. Amazon support is usually pretty ok though this is a weird case - any luck getting in touch w anyone?

Uhh - I came ready to blame Airbnb as I no longer use them. However - you obviously can’t do third party bookings and if a host has had third party booking issues (Airbnb will not cover these at all) I think hosts will have a very negative reaction to a third party booking.

Maybe blame Airbnb for not being clearer, but the profile photo / ID verification stuff is designed for the guest.

Do people do third party dating or car reservations etc?

Did people not try the nvidia driver back then? Even as a casual user at the time it was miles ahead - but it wasn’t open source

Fwiw I think Darl may still be playing some games w his bankruptcy filings. Just an opinion but I’d be curious if he’s had multiple recent filings and if any have been dismissed (ie failure to disclose etc). I took a quick glance at a court docket - I’m no expert but it didn’t look good at first glance

What are you rewriting from? At director level focus is usually more on things like how easy is it to staff / get support for something. Python is strong here - you can find programmers globally who can do pretty well with it.

Can you say the same about your solution?

Props to RDS team - they keep those databases updated. Anyone here who can figure out how far behind they are in months cs released db versions - for my workloads I’ve been impressed

Premium brands like apple and Samsung already do have various restrictions and limits if things haven’t been authenticated- cables, they’ve done warnings around batteries and likely to expand - made for iPhone has been around forever

When Amazon wasn’t responsive enough they pulled their products and sued suppliers using fulfilled by amazon. USB-if by comparison does nothing and neither do govt agencies- apple is perhaps most active in its enforcement efforts

My father in his 70s has stuck with one of these old phones. I keep on expecting them to end security updates - no go. The idea that apple makes unrepairable throwaway phones makes me laugh. Easier to resell and easy to get fixed (I use applecare with no complaints)

Fantastic. I do hope Seattle also attends to what used to be kind of core govt functions for qol items. Been a bit bummed at big govt performance on crime, education etc
