How can you fix the child education problem without fixing the parent education? School is but a few hours a day, and kids spend more time with parents and learn from them. I was lucky that my parents liked to read and encouraged me to read, but my friends didn't have the same exposure that I did and never liked to read books.

It's not you, security is indeed a hard sell (coming from the other side, as security engineer trying to push for adoption of solutions). There's some products like Wiz that you don't really need to push hard for, but everything else seems like a struggle

I want a lightweight sandbox with all my dev stuff that LLMs can't escape before I turn on computer use

This has to be an unserious comment. Can you substantiate any of your claims?

As someone who lives in California and pays state taxes, how would Texas have a higher tax burden if it doesn't charge state tax?

It does sound appealing to a small group, if you're part of that group then you'd be all in. For the rest of us, not so much.

How would Ublock origin know what is an AI ad vs a genuine recommendation? I assume AI ads will be embedded in the response vs an frame or an element that can be blocked

This looks pretty cool, but doesn't it reduce velocity? If CTOs want more code shipped faster, this might slow things down

I also take public transportation into work because parking is expensive and work pays for a commuter card. But for literally everything else I have to drive, even to get to public transportation. It does feel like a upper middle class privilege. If I were poorer I'd be renting close to work to save

Couldn't the country be poor with exorbitantly expensive parking?

Can the plugin do non objectstore backups? E.g. If I don't want to use S3 / minio / whatever blobstore for my homelab

But those already exist! There are a lot of Salesforce competitors that have much better execution. Yet salespeople absolutely demand Salesforce, and unless that changes I can say with absolute certainty no vibe coded clone from ex-Salesforce engineers is going to dent CRM
