Eh, if one person takes 10 min to solve a problem that takes another person 10 hours, we would usually say the faster individual is more intelligent.

If you think Roblox is an unsafe platform, you should see the rest of the internet.

I got the same vibe from him on the All In podcast. For every question, he would answer with a vaguely profound statement, talking in circles without really saying anything. On multiple occasions he would answer like 'In some ways yes, in some ways no...' and then just change the subject.

All things considered (Elon etc) I’d still be shocked if an advertiser was willing to spend >= on threads compared to X.
Do some research on game theory and you’ll find otherwise.
American Fiction satirizes this aspect of modern media incredibly well.

This is the type of take that proves AI is in a hype bubble right now.
You guys are trying to discredit the statistics here, but anyone in the Bay Area knows this is true. I wish there were stats on “near accidents” because Tesla drivers would be leading that too.
What’s the high profile game?

Respectfully, just take the L on your original comment and move on. It’s ok to be wrong.

The studio that made this has like 30 devs.

Doesn’t seem like a fair comparison.

True and even worse, inaccurate dick measuring.
I was just trying to convince my friend recently: if you order at the counter and bus your own table, you don't have to tip! Even Subway shows the tip screen now, and only an insane person would tip at Subway.
Their quarterly dividend is only $0.04 per share, total assets at 50B (vs 350B+ for other 1T companies), they cannot easily sell more chips and increasing price can only go so far.

The tax credit is hard to pass up!
An amazing achievement. For reference, Toyota produced 10 million cars last year.
An implant is certainly "significant work".
OP must have a disease or something. According to some brief research, $25B spent on out-of-pocket dental work in 2021, which averages out to like $70 per person. And I'd guess that a significant number of people don't spend a dime.
Dental insurance is usually pretty decent in the US, probably not worth leaving the country unless it's significant work. I have no idea with OP is getting done that costs thousands of dollars. Certainly that's an outlier.
Is this comment from 2015? AWS just had a $20B quarter.

Totally. "10% of my life" sounds a lot more significant than "3.5 years"
Your grandparents use ChatGPT? For what?
This is what L6 and L7 are building at Amazon, meanwhile in sys design interviews I’m being asked to design solutions for a gaming platform with 50M concurrent users.
I agree with you. My guess is these people are a bit older and have different habits. Also lmao at “awkward interaction for selecting the card” as if people don’t have to select the card out of their physical wallet in the same way?
I guess it’s a matter of perspective.

I’ve seen people fiddling with their purse/wallet searching for the right credit card, backing up the checkout line, while others breeze through with phones/watches that they already have in hand.

> AWS doesn’t even have a way to report a bug…

Customers are able to report literally any issue at all via support. AWS support is a huge organization. On my service team, there were plenty of instances where bugs were reported by customers.
