Interesting idea but it is weirdly inconsistent. Their own icon shows Burlington Vermont only has a population of 44k yet it was used as the poster city in the example.

Meanwhile, cities like Nashua, New Hampshire (the second largest city North of Boston in New England) is absent because it only has about ~93k people despite being driving distance to BVT.

It is also worth noting that in the US, city status is not directly tied to population.

Portland Maine is 66k people and it has an icon.

Edit: also interesting that for Boston it is the Zacim Bridge, which is iconic but wouldn't have been my first thought. I would have thought a lobster, or a pilgrim hat, or Fenway park or something like that.

Fun to see this on the front page. I'm curious if ops intent was to share something cool is trigger a bunch of nostalgia because they definitely did the latter.

I remember using this when it first came out. It was a game changer for doing forensics back before full disk encryption was a common thing.

Every generation in history has said the younger generation is lazy. Didn't make it true when I was a young xenial / millennial and I suspect it's not true for Gen Z and Gen Alpha either.

I hd to do a 4-bit version of this back in 2006 for my Computer Science undergrad. Interesting to see EE students doing it as well. Like many people here, we had to build it on actual breadboards. Which I think adds a ton to the experience.

My undergrad was in computer science and my master's is a MBA. Both from good schools (think top 50 not top 5).

I was thinking more like text books. Text books authors are generally much more wordy than they need to be because the publishing industry and academia awards length. But with that said, I kind of disagree with you a bit on biz school work. I'd say a quarter of most HBR case studies are fluff. I don't mean throw 12 on the floor and 3 are fluff, I mean, take a 12 page case study and 3 of the pages are not adding value.

Articles are even worse because the pay is often by the word and there are min lengths to get into the print edition.

Speaking from experience. I actually wrote a book for a major publisher and the main metric that determined how much I got paid was page count. We had a page count decided before the first word outside of the proposal was written.

Is it? I thought the point was to learn. Most reading is just busy work that doesn't actually advance the learning objectives.

> Looking at the other half of this complaint: cannot or will not?

This. I'm 40 and getting my MBA part time while working and being a parent and I can tell you even as an adult: when you hand me a 20 page case study I will read it but I'm going to be swearing under my breath the whole time.

In today's day and age reading anything long is asking a lot.

My daughter (10) routinely reads 400+ page books meant for kids older than her, but give her a 200 page book in class and she struggles with it even though it's a lower reading level because it is a chore.

First, colleges don't generally give loans. The lenders are not affiliated with the college.

Second, as with anything it is more complex than you are making it. For example, I've known people who have:

- Had a variable interest go up with little to no notice and no adjustment to the payments so if you're not paying attention month to month you end up underpaying.

- Been put in deferment without notice (so their payments stopped) and without requesting it, but continued to accumulate interest.

- Interest is sometimes compounding while in deferment or paying less than interest.

- Were mislead about how interest accumulated while they were still in school (i.e. lead to believe there was no interest when in reality there was just "no payments")

And in that last one in particular, the person I know in that situation (happened to be married to her now), it was her boomer parents that signed the loan paperwork and they didn't even give her access until after she graduated when she found out interest compounding that whole time.

I think the whole debate is putting too much on 17 kids and not enough on their parents who need to co-sign these documents. When I was that age the school didn't tell me how interest worked, my parents did.

You can also use SCSS with CSS modules, which is what I do.

What am I missing? I don't see it in either the MacOS app or the web app. I have a "Plus" plan. Do I need "Business" or "Pro"?

Edit: To answer my own question "Workspace agents are available in research preview in ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, Edu, and Teachers plans."

100%, accepting pre-generated board meeting notes is egregious. This whole thing is awful and I am in no way defending it. The opposite, I think other compliance as a service companies also need to be scrutinized as well.

There is a lot of serious allegations in here. But some of these complaints apply to most SOC 2 compliance services. For example: it points out that Delve provides pre-filled documents and encourages you to accept them as is. In my experience that is typical. I have seen companies just rubber stamp pre-created documents that describe IT processes that do not accurately reflect actual policy because the MBA[1] running the project didn't want to pull in IT and had no idea what any of it meant.

[1] No offense to MBA, just using it as a placeholder for: business stakeholder with no IT background.

I was literally just attending a course on "innovation" and the topic of Apple vs Android was covered. Interestingly enough, a majority of students commenting cited iOS "security" as a core value proposition. As an Android user, however, I know there are a lot of CVEs in volume but in terms of severity, when an iOS issue happens it appears to generally be much more severe.

First I will say, I am very much against dark patterns and I believe servers should be paid a fair wage and not have to rely on tips.

But until that I do tip for dine-in service. But I found the "buy me a coffee" link on the button of this to be much funnier / ironic than it probably should have been.

It's also missing what I think is the worst dark pattern:

Having no option not to tip at all. Instead requiring that the customer press "Custom" and manually entering "0.00"

First, I'm using frontier models with Cursor agenic mode.

> Also, if you use an LLM haphazardly and it introduces a security flaw, you as the user are responsible. The LLM is a power tool, not a person.

I 100% agree. That was my point. A lot of people (not saying you, I don't know you) are not qualified to take on that level of responsibility yet they do it anyway and ship it to the user.

And on the human side, that is precisely why procedures like code review have been standard for a while.

But my main objection to the parent post was not that LLMs can't be powerful tools but that specifically the examples used of maintainability and security are (IMO) possibly the worst examples you can use. Since 70k line un-reviewable pull requests are not maintainable and probably also not secure (how would you know?).
