Yep. And businesses are built on Excel. Want me to switch from Excel? The product better be around for 10 years minimum.

I was looking at using Google Tables at work some years back. And there was AppSheet and another beta app. But I didn't want to try moving any business processes away from Excel to Tables because it takes so much time to change business processes and this just looked like it's in beta. Google just proved again not to rely on them. Specifically the one thing stopping me for pushing to change to Tables was uncertainty about support.

STEM parents who work for large tech companies are the ones who fund code.org. They know technology is essential for their children and want to help others as well.

It doesn't matter if you went to Harvard or some bootcamp school. These skills are so in demand, we're hiring almost anyone. And importing low-wage unskilled H1B labor just because they can read a bit of code. Technology is THE path into the middle class for young people in the next generation.

Then these fools on /. with dried-up brains say, 'Well when *I* was kid!' Well the world changed a lot since you were a kid! Programming is not just the domain of unwashed-Ken-Thompson-looking cretins anymore.

> Should high schools be required to teach at least one CS course?

YES! 'the-odp' you post this all the time. It's the only thing you post.

Computers completely revolutionized the world, including every STEM field. Knowing how to write Python scripts is more applicable in STEM than knowing calculus. Each workflow which is automated by computers completely replaces the manual way which was there before. Knowing basic programming is fundamental to the next generation's success and ability to earn a living.

You are an old loser who is afraid and insecure of high school kids learning to program. Please keel over and die already.

Good! Meta's LLM is the best. Add the features. If you don't like it don't use it.

RedNote is actually a pretty good social media app. I like it a lot more than Twitter/X/Threads/Bluesky/Mastodon etc. It's interesting to see the all-Mandarin content.

for sharks, with frickin' laser beams!

The default texting app has to work with... texting (SMS). Think for even One second before commenting on every /. thread.

If you write a children's book to push your views, you're an asshole. I don't care if I agree with you, disagree with you, whatever.

Lol. Modern day Holocaust denier.

This moron clearly hasn't thought about what he's talking about for even a minute. It would be impossible to have an app always end-to-end encrypted that does what Google Messages does. Stop giving these fools your time, they're perpetually unhappy.

You gotta give the CEO of the 23andMe props. The value of their data is CLEARLY worth more than their company's valuation. Those 80% of users have agreed to let 23andMe use their genetic data in any way the company wishes in perpetuity. Other biotech companies are routinely valued in billions of dollars, while 23andMe's valuation is currently ~$160 million. But the founder/CEO has enough voting shares to prevent any other outcome except their own acquisition of the company, so they're acquiring all the shares at a low price. Congrats to them.

Already happened. The discovery violations Meta is talking about are: when NSO got sued, they went to the Israeli gov and said 'Save us!' and the Israeli gov used some rule to prohibit NSO from disclosing information to the case.

That guy is a piece of shit. He wants to make himself a news story to manipulate you to be his personal army. He's an absolutely sleazy manipulative piece of shit. Ignore him.
