It's clearly anti-competitive.

It's like they asked an AI to throw together every possible flourish into a single page.
Re:Roku developer repositories moved from GitHub to GitLab on Saturday October 24, 2026 @01:51PM (#50223539)
Wouldn't that be Github enterprise? It's been around since 2012 IIRC.
Re:A farewell to Arc browser on Thursday October 22, 2026 @09:45PM (#50203566)
This is terrible news. As a longtime Arc user, Dia just doesn't cut it. Profiles aren't as good to use as spaces, and there's no way to share favorite tabs across profiles as there is with spaces. This is really a dealbreaker for tabs that you need to have open all day.
> Why do they even bother?

It's what they were taught in business school.

This is an old argument. Remember how all the billionaires were going to flee NYC if/when Mamdani was elected. And... then they didn't.

Hand movements are fine, but the comment is right that these come off as incredibly fake.
Re:iPhone Duo on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @06:36PM (#49635558)
Very cool, but yes, the form factor, which is the most crucial point, seems off.
Re:Uber is laying off 10% of staff on Wednesday September 02, 2026 @11:16AM (#49537598)
Revenue is up massively, so we'll be getting rid of the people that helped that happen. Genius move.

There's a CNN article that has some expert quotes for context, but isn't quite as in depth as the study itself: https://archive.ph/yBiM8

Am I misunderstanding their current finances? On yahoo finance, I don't see net negative income for ESTC.
Looking at a few retailers, it seems like prices haven't increased yet. Maybe in a few days?

This list includes some things that were killed then brought back. Seems unfair.
Very cool project!

> I find it deeply dismaying that people consider that "just politics" or that opposing it is "ideological"

It depends: if you support far right viewpoints, like wanting to deport minorities, the MSM will cover it as just politics. If you support far left (for America) viewpoints, like, wanting free healthcare, the MSM will cover it as if you're a radical communist.

No country can survive this level of waste and stupidity. Not even the US.
Re:John Carmack about open source and anti-AI activists on Friday March 13, 2026 @03:21PM (#47368521)
Keep in mind, Carmack heads an AI company now. His opinion should be viewed with that context.

Right, because Node is the only package ecosystem.

"owning" the decision doesn't mean anything. It's just words.

The CEO's last visionary move was to go all in on crypto, even renaming the company. Now he's a visionary again, but firing half the company instead of himself.

As always, she's preferred because she intends to welcome US oil companies. Winning a prize is a red herring.
It's no coincidence that at a time of eroding democracy, public journalism is being cut.
My understanding with SSRIs and other depression meds is that they are hit and miss for anyone. I have a family member who, as a teen, suffered from severe depression and didn't want to live. Therapy wasn't able to help - it was actually the therapist who recommended more drastic measures such as medication. And so they tried Prozac and that worked. Having seen the reversal myself, it's hard to understand how this is placebo.
