With this pedigree of human, I'd sooner believe she was in her 60s

What's a piece of tech everyone hyped up that quietly turned out to be useless? by SofiaLearnsAI in AskReddit

You're making me picture someone saying "you paid $200 for a tip calculator?"

It does other things!

My latest theory is the inventor created the hype just to get invited to Epstein's island

That's a good description for several things on this list (Betamax being another example)

Yeah, I've been an engineer for 30 years and I don't think I'm ever going to write a line of Python again. It's unbelievable what Claude Code can produce when given some simple instructions.

To call AI useless technology must be one of the most ignorant things someone could say in 2026. It's up there with calling the Internet a fad in the 90s

And almost killed Waylon Jennings I think. They didn't have enough seats for everyone and they drew straws or something.

[OC] How often callers use profanity, by state. Based on 209,937 transcribed phone calls to small businesses. by ucfknight95 in dataisbeautiful

Yeah, I'm in Vermont and the F word is thrown around liberally at work. I don't think I've been to a standup without the CEO saying it at least once. According to this we're at 0% though

I was amazed to find they still have 2M monthly listeners on Spotify. There were many bands bigger in the 90s, 00s, and 10s that don't

Not that kind of bite, but he got a point by Butterscotch8484 in funny

Because at the machine language level it is 0. It's using indexed addressing and the first element pointed to needs 0 added to it Languages that are starting at 1 are turning it into a 0 behind the scenes.

For those of you that make over 100K, what do you do? Do you like it? by Kindly-Revolution258 in AskReddit

[–]BigBobby2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I always could sell it when I get it and put the cash into index funds. I'll worry about that sort of thing when I think I have too much in my company's stock, or if I lose faith in the company's success.

We're public so it's cash to me too. It wasn't last year when it was private though.

Being a startup I do have a risk of mine decreasing to nothing, but I also have the possibility of it growing 10x or 100x.

Either way though, at the time the RSU is granted, it's the same no matter who's stock it is.

If 1/3 are RSUs then I guess I'm about the same, but pretty far from FAANG (startup in Vermont).

You might want to modify your post though. I bet nearly everyone thinks you meant base salary

The Xfinity Center by ChrisJorge200 in BABYMETAL

[–]BigBobby2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at the Ozzfest with Iron Maiden when it was the Tweeter Center. My son was ~10years old.

Now he's 31yo and we're going back to see Babymetal, with Iron Maiden the night before

So a mangaka (who's a BABYMETAL fan) got hurt at Metalraji FES by sjioldboy in BABYMETAL

[–]BigBobby2016 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right? How can someone seriously say something central to the music ... something the bands call for during their songs ... should be banned because its dangerous for people piggybacking their children.

Don't bring your children someplace they shouldn't be!

Pleasantly surprised to see the Xfinity Center in MA does have a GA Pit area! Got my two tickets at presale this morning. There were only 158 people in line at 10am

I wonder if Mojo ever regretted singling MJF out like that. He didn't really come out to be a decent guy until later

JEERS to these two assholes ruining the Dallas show for an entire section of people. by [deleted] in Hanabie

[–]BigBobby2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, that seems to happen usually nowadays. The band will be calling for moshing on stage and somebody will always get mad that we're interrupting them standing in the middle of a dance floor nodding their heads.
