Bernie Madoff also made good money and had no issues until it became harder to keep getting new investors.

The only issue I recall having with Windows 10 wasn't even the fault of the OS, I didn't have proper ventilation for my new gfx card and it was overheating. Once I resolved that issue, no problems.

Windows 11, on the other hand, probably 1 crash per month on the same hardware.

What are you seeing? I'm seeing people mocking Patel and the administration.. don't see cheers for Iran.

You don't think it's a bit funny the director of the FBI had his personal email hacked? It's more innocent than dropping a bomb on an elementary school at least.

Why would you want something useless?

Deploying this city-first will flop. City people don't want new technology, not unless it's marketed with some fear like delivery drivers eat your food or something like that.

Yes - rural communities are known for being early adopters of technology.

Prices should only change at most once per day and when the store is closed. If the store remains open 24/7 then make it very clear that prices for items may update between 1a and 2a so shoppers beware.

How are data centers going to improve the economy?

Having family in Ohio - the public is overwhelmingly against the influx of data centers. If the public officials continue to make deals behind closed doors, this sounds like a way to ensure those officials respect the will of the people.

Kinda like you, rsilvergun (or drinkypoo, or gwehlir). [Maybe you're all the same person] 'Course, prove me wrong (I welcome it). (Still waiting on the Trump pedo proof, from my last request a week ago)

Maybe ambrand12 is a pedophile. Prove me wrong.

Making random internet claims then asking others to prove you wrong (for which you'd probably ignore evidence anyway) is a waste of time.

Do I worry for myself, no. My wife is a green card holder, luckily from a country not currently on Trump's shit list.. and she definitively had reservations about leaving and having to come back through immigration.

We were in the green card line, so the Hispanic families that were escorted away were permanent residents of the US. Maybe just a coincidence but given the political climate, seeing two "brown" families escorted away for additional question while my family and I were not asked a single question is abnormal. I've never been through immigration without being asked at least a couple basic questions before.

Be dismissive if you want. I only spoke up because you said the OP wasn't representative of most Americans. Most people I know that travel internationally have made similar comments regarding the difference between arriving in other countries comparing to coming back to the US. No one is ever going to escape having to queue or the associated bureaucracy but improvements can be made to not assume everyone is a criminal entering the US. And this extends back decades but post 9/11. I remember flying to Toronto and back without a passport pre 9/11. I got a dirty look but they still let me make the trip.

Being treated like a criminal. Long lines, employees providing conflicting information. Being yelled at for following the direction of the previous person. One time (after returning from Asia) I accidentally gave the DOB of my wife when they asked (she was with me) and the result from that was being escorted back and having to spend 15 minutes convincing them I simply made a mistake.

Houston was always the worst but Chicago is painful as well. It's not just the lines, it's the attitude of the people who act bothered by having to work.

The smoothest transit I had through Immigration and Customs happened this past holiday season when landing in Atlanta. The latino families in front of were all escorted for additional screening so the white male American got to walk through without even a question.

Queuing is expected. Having traveled to Mexico, half of the EU, and multiple Asian countries over the past 2 decades, coming back to the US is the worst immigration experience that I've had. That's why I say "not pleasant".

I will say crossing over into Canada, I've had mostly non pleasant experiences with them as well. I feel they put the only rude Canadians on the border as their first line of defense.

The average US citizen doesn't ever leave the US, so they'd have no experience with CBP.

My experiences coming back to the US are often not pleasant.

If you take a stick, walk into your neighbors yard, then start poking their dog until it finally bites you, who is at blame?

Lest I be labeled an anti-semite... I understand there is a very long and troubled history in that region and Jews have gone through a lot of shit.... but I'm looking at the current situation.

Israel keeps instigating, then when something happens uses as justification to take more land. They know the US will back them up so they are free to keep picking fights. And it's for this reason that many non-Jews in the West are really sick of Israel right now. Israel hasn't shown that they really want peace so they can justify taking more land. It's exactly what Russia is doing in Ukraine.

As we descend further into writing automation, will the LLMs eventually hit an "echo chamber" of writing styles?

I know exactly when a member on my team uses a LLM because their personally in the writing disappears (sometimes it's a good thing).

You sound like one of those guys who buy a heavy duty pickup truck but have next done a day manual labor in your life.

I like my EV. 50 weeks of the year I have no concerns with range, charge at my house and pay roughly 30% per mile of what a regular ICE vehicle owner would pay.

I can also admit the technology isn't there for EVs to be good in all scenarios. That's why our 2nd vehicle is a hybrid. 50mpg with no worry about range anxiety is great!
