2026 will be the year tech companies and SaaS services try to aggressively convert what they might think of as "freeloaders/low paying users" into premium paying subscribers: Youtube, Tesla FSD, OpenAI, Nexflix, Disney+, Spotify, Duolingo, Evernote, etc.

I have had good luck with the Amcrest cameras. I have 10 of them at two different properties. You can use their cloud based partner but you don't have to and the cloud isn't perfect but works most of the time. You can also alternatively connect directly to the cameras either directly their their own web interface or through the Amcrest app which does have some kind of IP route enablement to make the connection through an IPC P2P (peer-to-peer) connection for live view. They are pretty configurable cameras. You can even have it post still photos to email or a storage location. I would personally stay away from Foscam due to past security issues. All of these cameras have vulnerabilities so make sure you update to the latest firmware and keep them updated and on an internal network.

The classic race condition occurs within a single machine within a single process running multiple threads accessing the same data usually stored in memory. The DNS Enactor and DNS Planner for DynamoDB are likely part of a distributed system, which means they can be deployed on separate machines to handle different tasks efficiently. And the article describes each as having their own cache of the same data. This just sounds like a really bad design with poor timing control more than anything whereby the components work on their own copy of stale data resulting erroneous decisions and run-away processing from subsequent components that are not coordinating efforts properly and just assuming the first process will complete before the second one gets started. Bad design.

If I were to go into the office, which on rare occasion I do, there is no one from any of the teams I work with located in the same office. So, I would be just doing what I do at home which is virtual meetings. Even my core team is broken up into different states. The vendors that augment my team are scattered all across the US. And the teams we all work with are located across the globe. So other than getting some free snacks I don't see the benefit for those in my situation.

Why not just up the ante and say 1,000x or 10,000x? And at the same time why not Dow 250,000! TSLA 50 trillion market cap! BTC 5 million!

The world of always finding the sunny side up!

This would be in addition to the 220/year Georgia EV tax so a total or 420+ per year - double paying for the same road infrastructure. Georgia also charges 330 per year for commercial EVsl. The Georgia taxes are similar to an average ICE vehicle putting about 25k miles via the gas tax on the road per year. Georgia also has a EV charging tax on the books as well where you pay a tax when getting even free L2 charging. https://dor.georgia.gov/docume... https://www.fox5atlanta.com/ne...

Had yearly checkup with my Dr. Since I am over 50 she said "I should get a heart exam." I have no symptoms, am not over weight, normal blood pressure. The only thing I have is higher cholesterol which I don't even take medication for. I told her I wasn't interested in an unnecessary test that is equvalent to 100+ chest xras. She then said the standard line of "you get radiation from flying in a plan." Yes, I do. but not 100-500 chest xrays thank you very much. Not that with and without contrast usually results in at least 2 CT scans. In the end she insisted on making the order in her health system and said I could "just cancel it myself if I don't want it." Before I even got home from my checkup the CT scan lab had already called. It's totally a money machine which used for routine diagnostics because once this equipment is purchased it is just a fixed cost. The recurring revenue is getting keep the machine utilized as much as possible.

Not only that, the integrity of Signal does not extend to the mobile device owners machine.

Let's just be honest. Most startups (not all) are 100% focused on building something as fast a possible and then unloading in a big sale to some much larger organization at a premium. And in many acquisitions the programming, engineering, and security people from the acquiring company are not allowed to review large amounts of source code to determine all the future loses due to high technical debt. All that just gets in the way of the sale! You hope as the acquirer you can use your internal talent plus engineers incentivized to stay on long enough to fix or repair the system without it costing you a fortune. However, sometimes it can take years to fix many of the issues and in some cases you can't even fix them as they are design issues core to the implementation (systemic). So, now these startups will throw in a new dimension of even faster code development using different "prompt engineers" building parts of a system with perhaps different LLMs and there is no one to explain how any of it works. It will be an interesting situation.

He got the LLM to this response after many interactions so it would be more complete to see the full session list of prompts that got him to these final responses.

Saying you are covering a 1.5 billion loss and doing it are two different things. I imagine this is to prevent a run on the exchange which should happen since there is no deposit guarantees in the crypto currency world.

What better way to ingratiate your existing customers and generate a source of revenue then to add junk fees to your existing customers you hope to sell more AI services to...

I mean that is the real question right? Are the economics preached by AI industry a lie? I would say this puts it in serious question regardless if the actual cost was truly 1/10th or 1/4th less. What we do know is it was definitely substantially less.

Exactly my thoughts. Stolen data stolen again.
