Before this feature when you were doing it manually, it was a huge problem. One of the points of this feature, is it automates rebasing the whole stack.

I'm not in a large corporate environment, but that also means we're not always a well oiled machine, and sometimes i am writing faster than the reviewer can review for a period of time -- and i really need the stacking then too.

Very interested ot check it out.

Been going on since before Trump II, as many of us have definitely noticed. (2020 was the last model year for Honda Fit).

Some info in article.

Aha, that's a different La Liga situation! Wow, that's wild!

It's not clear to me they are much less of a threat than they ever were, but it's also not clear to me they were ever much of a threat.

They did everything they could in this war, didn't they, and apparently it didn't do too too much? (other than the economic damage of closing the strait, which seems to be what worked). But I think they could probably keep doing everything they've been doing still? (including controlling the strait).

If there's one thing that's pretty clear, it's that the Iranian government is quite aware of this and of how the US acts. The US government, on the other hand, seems oblivious to anything about how the Iranian government acts.

Right.

I mean, neither one did what they said they would do, if they had both done what they said they'd do, I guess we'd have nuclear war, so. (To the extent that you can't get anything consistent out of what Trump says he will do it's literally not possible, because he constantly contradicts himself.)

When you serve video from R2, you do it directly from R2 to client, not with an additional Cloudflare CDN in front, and that works fine? I have been trying to understand video and R2.

I had not heard of the "La Liga situation", but googled and what I learned was that La Liga is a Spanish football (soccer) team, and their players did a protest action about not wanting a match to be staged in Florida, and the team owners tried to say it was an illegal strike, but a court recently disagreed and said it was protected protest....

I still have no idea what any of this has to do with any clients moving from Cloudflare to Bunny.net, what am I missing?

I wonder if it would be possible to do something like this that had transparent end-to-end encryption.

Honestly I think their status page just got more honest -- and they are graphing this in such a way that any partial outage to any service looks really bad on teh chart.

There were definitely partial outages to services inside that row of horizontal green dots, that the status page just wasn't advertising.

No way that holds up in court when they are marketing it for things other than entertainment.

AI makes this all go exponential.

We've had for a few years now almost universal video surveillance of all public spaces, but pre-AI it's just not realistic to monitor or search it all. Well, it is now. Video just being one example of the surveillance data firehouse that will become legible to the state -- or anyone else that can centralize their access to it all.

I think this will end up being actually the most impactful element of AI on society, and it's not going to be great.

I think most people getting a paycheck get there on their own, and this guy is accidentally helping to sell the bill.

> Republican Rep. Chris Richardson, an Elbert County Republican, argued that the bill is too broad and could regulate standard analytic usage in the workplace, such as a human resources software that recommends a pay band for employees based on performance.

He does not think this is is just selling it further? Oh no, it might prohibit software automatically determining my wages, how could we even have a society if we don't let computers figure out the least they can pay me without me quitting.

If you didn't have a sibling to do it for you free/cheap, I wonder how many months of a human receptionist (or service) the fee to build (and maintain) such a thing would cover.
