I was going to point out that the Claude was trademarked, it didn’t cross my mind that it was by design.

yeah, I don't know what was the goal here. I was expecting a regular Ferrari but electric, like the Tesla Roaster type of car.

I like react over angular and vue over react.

The Boeing issues started 20 to 25 years ago, it just take a long time to become this bad.

I always wanted to open an indie book store + coffee shop and had a similar analysis. I read recently they are having a come back.

Barnes and noble is opening in my city after a decade ago books a million closed and our local indie closed during Covid.

After all those points orders have mentioned the only thing left it is devaluations of the dollar, that’s what many have said it will be the only viable solution since now it is out of control. I’m not sure if we can do that now, spending needs to get under control before devaluation works. Either way middle class is the one getting destroyed.

Not only Reddit the company but mods can be very hostile to linking to websites as well.

I like the design but liked the previous design as well, it was unique and Craigslistish, you knew what website you were visiting just by looking at it.

This was going to be my response, the biggest data miner in the world doesn’t know how users are buying online? That’s a big claim

Of course is the architecture and the creator of such a thing, isn’t the point of a tool like that for users that don’t have the tech knowledge? I have only used those systems on shared hosting, host providers are the one maintaining and should be keeping them up to date and WHM/Cpnel have plenty of customers to worry too patch holes, if they can’t then who’s fault is it, Architecture, or provider? Hope is the customers fault?

ricardonunez — Mon, 04 May 2026 12:15:20 +0000

A quick google says 320 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to over $535 billion by 2033. I didn't know it was that big but it makes sense. Gamestop has been all in in collectibles and eBay has a huge market on it as well. I think this is the play. Both companies being profitable doesn't make it a bad deal for the number one collectibles company in the world.

It doesn’t look fancier, it is just cheaper to manufacture than using the buttons and wheel.

ricardonunez — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 11:48:06 +0000

There are cases where people share a lease with roommates but overall I don’t see why this is not a thing. I purchased a house last year after renting for a few years, I had to provide credit and financial information but nothing about the years renting an expensive house, never missing a payment nor being late, specially for self employed people renting history has to be used.

I agree. When I had my kid I stopped going to concerts because of parenting, time, etc. Last year I went to the Warped tour and discovered some new bands, it changes the whole experience and my joy for music and discovering new bands like when I was young. I have listened to some AI music as a curiosity and the only way to describe it, it is soulless.

It did great English and Spanish, it didn't switch to Portuguese, french nor German, maybe struggle with my accent.
