When Unemployment rate is falling it goes red… but that’s a good thing, should be green.

Orbital datacenters is just an excuse of a reason to merge the two companies when there’s nothing else tying them together. They won’t actually happen.

Fixing the hole in the ozone layer is kinda like what you’re asking. Everyone around the world got together to ban the newly invented chemicals and…. It worked.

I unsubscribed, got tired of them endlessly droning on about who the mayor of NYC should be. Not relevant to most of the world.

Look at Adobe stock 10 minutes before the Claude Design announcement came out… the volume spike there is out of the ordinary and I find it hard to believe it’s a coincidence, someone knew something. The level of blatant insider trading at the moment is pretty wild

Switch to decaf, same habit and ritual and mixes things up from plain water all day (which I enjoy).

What’s the point? Unless you are going to ruthlessly throw stuff away you’re still just accumulating things, tracking it doesn’t make the issue of unused clutter go away. Sure you move some stuff to a cupboard further away but it’s not difficult to intuit most of this stuff, and now you have a mess of stickers

MacBook Air - mid range mid price, good quality, basically as functional as the Pro now. The price of the Neo is very compelling if they want it for light duty work though. And obviously high end is high end but those people know who they are

How is it Apple can make a whole laptop cheaper than the phones they sell? Phones are costing more while laptops are going down in price.

Seems like reading a transcript of the commentary from a football game, it’s obviously missing a lot of information.

Agree, the AI companies aren’t able to improve the base models so they’re pivoting to making add-ons like “agents” which seem to only be instructions atop the base models.

The scientists are also saying ALIENS! but they're covering their backs, they want their research to make headlines too

GHG emissions from boat transport are actually a very low % of the total GHG emissions from producing that food. Moving it across the country on a truck would certainly produce more emissions than shipping it by boat from abroad.

Yeah suggestions are way too obvious. I put cycling in as an interest and it gave me 4 different helmets to choose from… errr

I think in general that suggesting items for peoples hobbies is usually a bad idea because if someone is passionate about cycling they probably know the exact gear they want, me who knows nothing about this topic can’t choose a good gift.

It’s better to buy gifts you do know something about, eg if I’m really in to kitchen knives I could buy a nice knife for someone because everyone needs a good knife and I can choose a good one.

As someone who lives in an apartment and has a baby who I want to be able to sleep at night - this idea can go to hell, I’d have our strata rules ban this service so fast. There’s a reason cities zone areas for parties/bars and others for residential.
