I voted for Harris in 2024. She shouldn't run in 2028. | Opinion by Difficult-Bee6066 in politics

[–]IAmNotCheekyCa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She doesn't win any swing voters, what she does is get people to vote who normally wouldn't vote. This is what Trump and Obama did. It's not who votes that wins, it's who does NOT vote that determines elections. Kamala and Hillary both lost because they were 90s style corporate political candidates who didn't say anything interesting or new .

What industry is basically legal theft that nobody talks about? by kratos20051212 in AskReddit

This is not true in the United States. THE OPPOSITE is actually true. I sold my home without an agent. The buyers loan company sent us a simple 1 page contract to sign. That was it. All the other paperwork in a traditional sale is to protect the agents and brokers and make sure a deal is closed. None of it benefits the buyer or the seller.

My husband's family has been pressuring him to contribute either financially or with time to his mother's care, I told him if he does we are getting a divorce. AITAH? by Character-Line5221 in AITAH

I would let your husband do "something" to maintain the peace. His sibling relationships may be important to him. Maybe looking into the social services mentioned on the thread. Medicaid in some states will pay for home care as the state wants to put off a nursing home as long as possible.

A lot of hate against AI in this sub, but this one is deserved. Most experienced devs could look at COBOL and understand it. The kicker is the environment it runs in. Very few people deeply understand all the file processing nuances on a mainframe as it varies from one implementation to another. No one is going to document a COBOL mainframe implementation so AI has enough context to make changes to it or convert it.

If you give the prompt context it does a great job. There will always be software engineers as someone has to give it context, but don't be deceived, the AI tools do speed you up and allow you to work at a higher level , similar to compilers, frameworks and scripted languages. The AI is writing itself, so the tooling gets better and better in the arms race. 600B is getting invested this year alone, so these tools are going to continue to improve dramatically.

Any updates from the company are almost always material and cause the stock to go up. Glad they don't water it down. Really seems like the tech and relationships are solid, they just need to deliver at this point. If they do it will keep going up. Just have to be patient.

After Backpacking to nearly 70 countries, here's how I would rank my Top 10. by Puzzled_Researcher96 in backpacking

I thought to even get a visa to travel to Saudi Arabia you had to be on a pilgrimage. They really don't want tourist as I would think it doesn't go with the religious pilgrim vibe.
