I think this is accurate, a big chunk of the vote seems to be "my bills/food/rent went up when Blue in office, Red says they _will_ fix it, so let's try Red"
Of course not statistical, but seems to be a large trend in discussion
Yeah, I think that's it, or at least a large part of it. People were unhappy and when you're unhappy you vote out the incumbent (and in a two-party system there's only one other choice).
I also think that's the same reason the exact same guy was voted out four years ago. Pretty bizarre if true, so it's probably not the whole story.
The era of having startup founders both immediately accessible on social platforms (X/Twitter, Discord, etc.) and overly willing to share their opinions is a messy one.
It's hard enough in a small startup to prevent CEO "commentary-driven-development" , let alone have their random thoughts driving investment insight and user acquisition/attrition.
Even without seeing Vlads comments it was already disheartening to see them investing in AI features of questionable utility rather than focusing on the core search product. Trying to make a new search engine is already a difficult enough task without spreading themselves even thinner, and diluting the value of the subscription for those who just want search because they only offer unlimited searches in conjunction with unlimited access to the AI tools.
To me the Orion endeavor was much more concerning. I don't understand how you can sustain a company of a handful of people and work on search, ai, ai+search, orion and making tshirts.
The $10 unlimited tier gives you unlimited access to FastGPT and the summarizer. The 2.5x more expensive plan above that gives you more AI features, but it sounds like you're paying for early beta access, and they will filter down to the cheaper plan eventually.
What about legitimate programs that are created to help legitimate penetration testers? And are forbidden from being used by people with malicious intent.
I would imagine that it is there in order to protect themselves if someone uses their tool for malicious purposes as they can point to that statement and say they were not complicit.
It makes a bit of sense. Some scammers target the extremely naive, who don’t even know there are scams. Those scammers might skip such victims to save time. These days, when scamming is so automated I doubt it makes a difference.
Just a bit of feedback:
The first job I saw on the page proclaimed "48 tech stacks" which immediately horrified me. That is, until I clicked on it and realized it's 48 different pieces of tech used at the company; including Microsoft Excel, GitHub, Git (listed separately), Zoom, among others.
I feel like there's probably a simpler and less intimidating way to organize and represent this up-front.
Almost as bad as saying you are proficient in python and then naming all the packages you've used. If you were truly proficient, its implicit you know how to use some popular packages already and can trivially speed up to another one based on the python package paradigms you already understand.
Is a simple difference in one term or the other that useful?
The simple list of programs or utilities used is actually very descriptive. The world of software is vast. Not everyone uses the same tools the same way. But if you see mostly Microsoft products you probably have a good idea of the type of organization it is versus a mix of FOSS/almost no Microsoft products.
Kind of encapsulates which industry the company works within, whether they’ve got a newer tech stack or lots of legacy, etc.
Yep and we’re trying to cater to not just software engineering tools. Marketers tend to use a lot of different SaaS products and it’s useful to know if you’re a marketer looking for a new job.
Do they ever. And seem willing to adopt whatever might help, without thought to the long term integration consequences. The disaggregation of Salesforce is vast.
That’s an original sin. I worked for what was essentially a marketing firm with a set of large assets to mock up and sell aka a casino. They had stuff going back to 2000/2001 into 2018 still in production. Really the uniting characteristic was somebody was able to sell something with whatever piece of software.
At first I agreed. But then I realized I work in finance and it’d be nice to know they use Excel instead of Sheets. I can’t stand Sheets for any serious work.
It's not entirely obvious from OP's link, but it appears this offering is from 2005 or earlier (see this page listed in the "News" section: http://www.biyubi.com/computadora.html)
I'm not sure where you have this impression from, but I can assure you that in many non-urban areas getting fiber (hikari) is a non-option.
Many folks resort to LTE or WiMax to compensate, which has poor performance in general and even worse in poor weather.
For context, even in Tokyo, you would be surprised at the number of apartment buildings that come with shared 100Mbit lines for 30+ units, with no way of installing faster direct lines (in large part due to owner/agency refusal).
It’s NTT policy or something to lay only single 1Gbps fiber per building, ever, so if you’re living in a single family home with nice front yard you’re forced to share the fiber with — no one else. But for 30 units apartment your connection is at mercy of 25 kids trying to download Apex Legends in background while taking remote schooling classes.
If you’re desperate find a place that already has or allows Sony Nuro installation. They lay fibers given owners’ permission, whereas NTT won’t and just send you a Fast Ethernet VDSL modem(with a blue Cat.5 8P4C cable to match!)
No. 1Gbps FTTH is very common choice even in rural area. Fibre covers 98.3% of family in 2020 [1], thanks to NTT Flets. Sometimes FTTH internet in rural residence is better than VDSL or crap internet service in urban apartment because of some apartments won't allow to sign up another fibre line instead of those crap.

This is almost always the owner/agency actually. The above discussion is in context of being the owner.
Nothing the previous poster says implies that they are okay with wasting energy in other ways and it in no way diminishes the fact that Bitcoin (and other PoW cryptocurrencies) use a _lot_ of energy.
Why is energy usage that important? Isn't the issue that society allows energy creation through fossil fuels? Like the sun 'uses' 384.6 septillion watts.
I generally agree on not choosing dividend stocks (a solid ETF can include a reasonable dividend payout, which feels more like a bonus), but just a note that the tax rate on qualified dividends is the same as long term capital gains (0%, 15%, 20%).
Not all dividends can be qualified (payouts from REITs for example are a common exception), but most typical blue chip stocks that pay dividends will become qualified after holding the underlying asset for enough time.
In addition to the alternatives others have mentioned, the author of `scoop` also has a package available for `scoop` named `sudo`, described as "An approximation of the Unix sudo command. Shows a UAC popup window unfortunately."
From a non-elevated shell (cmd or ps), you can run `sudo <command>` to a roughly equivalent effect from *nix terminals. I find it meets my needs.
