- Comment on AI start-up Perplexity makes surprise bid for Google Chrome 2 days ago:
They would just invest a bunch of money into a browser and be forced to sell it.
I’d like to see them just open source it.

Agreed, whether people like him or not, it doesn’t take away from him being a great actor.

He was great in “The Rock”.

I didn’t think they did. I don’t buy anything from them either because of that either.

They don’t do regional pricing?
- Comment on Bat flies into woman's mouth in Arizona, costing her nearly $21,000 in medical bills 1 week ago:
It was 3 injections I think and it was because I was visiting tropical country and the cdc website recommended a series of vaccines.
I mainly got them because insurance said they would reimburse it. But they didn’t and all in all I’m out $2000.
They even admitted that they told me they would reimburse it and they were wrong, but they still refuse to reimburse me.

I got a rabies vaccine once and it’s cost me $1080 in total.
Insurance said they worked reimburse me, but they changed their mind step I submitted the paperwork to be reminded.
Fuck United healthcare
- Comment on SEC says it will deregulate cryptocurrencies with 'Project Crypto' 2 weeks ago:
It’s not about avoiding taxes, it’s having to submit every single transaction you make in crypto on your tax forms. One year I had to manually compile hundreds of transactions. Only for the irs forms to show their of a net loss and no taxes needed to be paid.
I wasn’t using it as an investment, so I didn’t care about the loss, which was under $10 anyway.
- Comment on SEC says it will deregulate cryptocurrencies with 'Project Crypto' 2 weeks ago:
Will this mean that I won’t need to report every single transaction on my tax returns?
It would be real useful to use crypto for international money transfers.

He means, how is the government supposed to tell the difference between personal and work vpns.

** I am not a lawyer or have any legal training, but this is how I personally view the sign. Also, the example I give may be flawed, but I think it demonstrates the point well and can be applied to more accurate circumstances. **
Another example is that you committed a crime, but not the crime they are trying to charge you with.
For example,
You and a friend rob a store. You didn’t know it going into it but your friend brought a gun.
You get arrested and you both get charged with armed robbery.
You are not guilty of armed robbery since only your friend had a gun. They would have to charge you with a crime that was accurate.
- Comment on Physicists Create First-Ever Antimatter Qubit, Making the Quantum World Even Weirder 2 weeks ago:
How have humans gone from the Stone Age to being able to manipulate subatomic particles in just a few thousand years?
And it’s not just normal subatomic particles. My mind is kind of blown when I think about this.

Oh, yeah. I totally missed that 😅

I can see going on simple missions as part of their training in their final years.
I think that kind of happened in the kelvin movie and I forget exactly the plot, it something similar happened in prodigy.
- Comment on This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service 2 weeks ago:
The maps do not show any devices in the country where I live, but due to the low cost and practical use, I’d love to set some up.
If i am usually within 6km of my home, in a city. I wonder if 1 node will be enough coverage.
Also, how can you tell that there are more nodes than reported on those sites?

Doesn’t proton offer a free vpn with limits?
Also, a vpn is pretty cheap. I wouldn’t say that it’s kids that would be using it, it would be adults who don;t want to upload their picture.

Thanks! I’m going to do that Nita a great idea.
- Comment on Vibe coding takes the "science" out of computer science 2 weeks ago:
That’s pretty funny.
- Comment on Vibe coding takes the "science" out of computer science 2 weeks ago:
The tools I’m using are for internal use and there is a backup in place. So, if something does go down, my contractors can pull the files up in one drive in a view only format.
- Comment on Vibe coding takes the "science" out of computer science 3 weeks ago:
I’m with you on this. The only legit concern I hear is its environmental impact.
But things will become more efficient over time and it had led to increased interest in nuclear energy, so i think it’s a problem that will take care of itself.
- Comment on Vibe coding takes the "science" out of computer science 3 weeks ago:
Sure, I get it. Once my business is in a more profitable place I’ll bring someone on to fix up the code, but for now it’s more than enough.
- Comment on Vibe coding takes the "science" out of computer science 3 weeks ago:
This is what I’m talking about. So many people talk about it in white or black.
I was able to “code” a front end that my contractors can log into to view the files they are authorized to see.
It helped me write so many different things that all work together to solve my problem.
It may or may not be the most efficient code, but in terms of overall business operation, it’s extremely efficient.
- Comment on Vibe coding takes the "science" out of computer science 3 weeks ago:
People always talk about it in relation to programmers, but what about us non-programmers that have been able to code things only becuase of chatgpt?
I have some python, sysadmin, and computer security knowledge. I actually obtained the security+ cert a few years ago.
I do not work in tech anymore, and chatgpt has helped me so much, by basically coding stuff for me to do random work tasks that I was either unqualified to do or didn;t have the time to do.
- Comment on Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC 3 weeks ago:
I’m in a similar boat, windows for work, linux for personal.
But since I’m freelance, it’s annoying juggling 2 computers. Just waiting for a single app to either work in wine or get a Linux port.
- Comment on What are the best single episodes to show people new to Trek? 3 weeks ago:
I think the pacing of the episodes has not held up well. I admit that there were good episodes, but it can be hard to really enjoy if you’re not prepared for it.

I said the same thing to my wife last night about “the inner light”

I was thinking that as well, but someone eventually commented that carbon creek would be good.
