> I honestly do not know where to go.

Yeah, with blinders on, it's hard to see that. Otherwise, the playground was wide open. If whales start eating your revenue, then you go after them.

Why not use ‘Voice to text’ to type? Then you don’t need to carry a keyboard, look for a table to place it, and also hunt for a Clorox container to lean your phone against.

Peter Thiel is a naturalized US citizen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel

Musk was (mostly) great until 2020; Something happened to him during the COVID timeframe.

I'd not want Musk, Thiel, or Palantir guy to run for POTUS. Probably, there should be a clause that if your net worth exceeds the threshold, you shouldn't be eligible to run until you donate all of it to the government, with no option to get it back ever. Some more clauses can be added as well.

Edit 1: I think another clause, maybe most important, a minimum one term public office service experience required only as a Senator, Rep, Governor, or a Mayor.

> including our technological lead, is built by immigrants

That's my point to get the Constitution changed (Amendment #28) to allow an immigrant to run for POTUS. We love US more than natural-born citizens. Our interests are far more aligned with the betterment of the country than anyone else's.

It’s ok to be patriotic, but underestimating your enemy could be foolish or even fatal.

> It would be quite stunning Iran defeated the united states in this sense.

> The fact that this outcome is surprising represents a very loud and public failure on the administration's part.

You can't teach stupid!! The coward, sleepy, dementia ridden, pretentious commander-in-chief declared victory over Iran the next day after starting the war.

New comment by mandeepj in "Amazon workers under pressure to up their AI usage are making up tasks"

Being an investor in Anthropic, Amazon must have a preferred billing rate, but others do not. No wonder their revenue shot up so much, so fast, because of BS goals like those.

> Why is that?

Precisely why he left the Democratic party, because their voters are not gullible and religious fanatics.

> Seeing software as investment avoids speaking about "technical debt" by speaking about "value"

People already see their efforts as an investment, but that doesn't stop Debt from accruing over time. There will always be parts in your software that could have been written better, and that's Debt.

> 'Very few people were opting in to end-to-end encrypted messaging in DMs,' Meta says.

Then why didn't you make the opt-in default like Signal and WhatsApp? :-)

"use all of the compute capacity at their Colossus 1 data center"

So, they handed out all of their data center to Anthropic; Grok wasn't using it much?

Point On! Probably done by two different teams, who don't know about each other. I hate this (re)captcha so bad. They assume everyone is bad.

Refunds could require approval. And, it could not be just the agent's sole decision.

I think there should be another page 'GitHub is NOT down'. Needless to say, for all the other times it's Down.

That’s the classic phenomenon of cheaper pricing due to offshoring! If your expenses are in dollars then for sure recovery is going to be in dollars as well. Why is that a surprise to anyone?

New comment by mandeepj in "How an oil refinery works"

mandeepj — Fri, 01 May 2026 06:23:08 +0000

It’s worth mentioning here - the founder (Dhiru bhai) of Reliance used to pump gas in Dubai and that’s where he got the dream to start his own refinery one day. Dream one side, but just going about setting up such a giant production facility at an enormous scale is nothing short of an extraordinary achievement. Pretty sure he had overflow of grit, commitment, and all around strength, and of course high dose of highest level of talent.

Not counting the damages to US bases; it’s pretty significant. https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/01/world/video/us-military-bases...
