my hard drive overheated

So, this means they either have a local copy on disk of whatever database they’re querying, or they’re dumping a remote db to disk at some point before/during/after their query, right?

Either way, I have just one question - why?

Nah what you’re doing is textbook gaslighting. Not to mention, putting words in my mouth. You wanna have a level headed conversation, I’m down, but if you’re gonna continue to let emotion take over, I’m out.

Your weird attempts at gaslighting aren’t working dude

K live in your fantasy bubble and revise history all you want, not even a decade ago Teslas were considered very good cars, and the only viable electric option for some. Not hard to figure out why people bought them then, just like it’s not hard to figure out why people are selling them now.

Many bought the thing 5+ years ago when Tesla was basically the only electric with a real charging network…

Until relatively recently, if you were an American who wanted to buy an electric car and wanted to guarantee you wouldn’t be stranded somewhere with a dead battery, Tesla was literally the only option.

Lmao. Sure buddy.

Try handing over your “self documenting code” to a junior dev who doesn’t know the language it’s written in and see how far they get with it.

Now hand that exact same codebase with comments to the same junior dev, and I guarantee you they’ll get further than without the comments.

They used to encourage people to use a serial cable to program them. I remember when I got my Roomba nearly ten years ago, it came with a little pamphlet advertising their educational platform robot, which was basically a Roomba without the vacuum cleaning stuff. I think they intended it to be sort of the next step up from LEGO Mindstorm or something. But at the bottom of that pamphlet, there was a paragraph that basically said “hey you can get this educational robot, buuuut, the one you just bought has the exact same connections, firmware, and hardware 👀👀👀”

It doesn’t really taste like filter coffee though. It tastes like mellowed-out espresso, which is nice sometimes

Knew enough to understand slavery is bad

🙄🙄🙄

presidents don’t have unilateral power, and members of the president’s party can do and say things different from the president

This is how American politics has worked for hundreds of years. Yes, the president (really the executive branch) holds a lot of power. So do the other two branches of government. One branch can’t really do anything without working with the other two, which means that compromise is a frequent theme throughout the history of American politics.

Alright bud, it’s obvious you’re just interested in being a contrarian and not actual productive conversation, so see ya 👉

And? Despite what Trump says, presidents don’t have unilateral power, and members of the president’s party can do and say things different from the president

You know that Kamala isn’t the only Democrat in existence right

First of all, follow the thread brother, I’m not the same person you originally replied to.

Second of all, this article is just as much about capitalism as it is about “tech”. If you actually read the article and just thought “this is just about tech” and not “this is about tech and how it has leaked unnecessarily into nearly every transaction”, then IDK what to tell you

How was that your takeaway from this thread

If they have the ability to accurately detect/enforce any of that, I’d be way more impressed with their fingerprinting techniques than any of the hardware they’re selling

It’s basically the same concept, just implemented with a k8s cluster so you have scale-to-zero capabilities I guess

Hey everyone get a load of this guy with his massive hog
