The summary says merchant fees will reduce "by an average of 0.1% over several years" so I'd say the chances of this making anything cheaper at point of sale is on par with the sun going supernova in the next several minutes.

1) You do know the M series chips offer the best performance per watt right now compared to Intel and AMD. 2) Saving costs means little if your hardware accomplishes zero goals. Grab develops iOS apps on these machines; what "real data platform" do you recommend to replace Macs?

Again my point is Windows does not always boot in seconds unlike what you asserted. I have worked in a few companies where they are probably still using the weakest CPUs off 5400 rpm HDDs. Booting anything on those machines will be slow. I am can imagine a company like a Bank of America being one of them.

Even when you talk about users, it's only to dismiss them.

Barring pretty exciting advances in biotech(along with either the psychology or...less wholesome methods...of keeping people on-task when they learn that their 4-century lifespan will be dedicated to a period of drifting through nothing and a life sentence studying the surfaces of Kuiper belt objects inside a tiny habitube or something) you are going to hit a line where (human) exploration is not going to be readily separable from human colonization; just because shipping times become prohibitive: Anywhere on earth you can just pack some extra canned goods and a few spare parts and be there and back in under a decade even with age of sail era tech; even faster now unless the obstacle is political objections by people who already live there, in which case it's 'espionage' more than 'exploration'. Hasn't really been a notable case of 'exploration inextricably linked to colonization' since humans crossed the Bering straight into the Americas, with some weaker alternatives from the colonial period where it almost certainly wouldn't have been as cost-effective; but would have been theoretically feasible.

Near-earth objects are mostly in the same board. Shipping cost are higher, so presumably lunar mining overseers will receive less frequent breaks than offshore drill rig workers; but the moon is only 3-ish days away. As you move further away the numbers get less favorable; though they still remain within the realm of "there were people circumnavigating the earth in that time, even before we knew how scurvy worked" or at least "modest chunk of your expected working life"; and it may well be relevant that a lot of the more distant objects are either gas giants that you would only ever observe rather than land on, or very small solid bodies that you could potentially just have a robot slap an ion drive on and bring back for your perusal.

Ultimately, it seems like it boils down to an irrational emotional position. Some people, don't know why, just look at a situation and are all "the most fulfilling outcome possible would be making this the next generation's problem!" Leads to enough bad calls earthside; I assume there will be some particularly grim outcomes in more hostile environments.

I don't understand what people are doing that they need to summarize Jira tickets. They usually aren't very long...

Oh good point, it explains why the article feels so wanderingly pointless.

I think if my coworkers were writing Jira tickets that were too unreadable, I would ask them to write shorter tickets.

It is surely meaningful that a leadership council and directors got funding before the people who were actually doing the work maintaining the code.

I should have said "the financial industry."

Who said that engineers love indispensable things?

My observation is that engineers like well-engineered things. I've never heard any engineer anywhere say they like indispensable things. What was the source of information, Gemini?

I'll be happy if we make it through the next three years without a world war.

In the post-chat-gpt world, if you want to SEO, you need to write for chat-gpt.

And you have not considered to enter offline-first, the service worker API has to load? Again, Grab has been doing this for 12 years. PWA is not new and they have chosen native apps.

But most of us did not assume to know better than Grab unlike you.

You do know that Louisville is THE major distribution hub for UPS in the US, right? Even if the UPS warehouses were not already built decades ago, it seems to be pure common sense that UPS would build warehouses to hold cargo . . . for their cargo hub.
