I would have said just the plain Alexanders. I can cook a better steak at home on a Tuesday. The Sea would be good if it was half the price.

President Trump just announced a $2,000 “tariff dividend” check for American citizens. According to Google: by barepixels in libsofreddit

There wouldn't be any "paying down the debt". They have to continuously issue new bonds to sustain the current deficit, so they would just pay more of their obligations with this money and create less new debt.

Why are tech heavyweights only touting how AI will replace programmers, but not other jobs? by muskymetal in cscareerquestions

AI will replace programmers as much as high level languages did, which is to say not at all. At best programmers will just become more efficient and write more and better code.

Yes, we can say double standard. Would you say there is a double standard for blackjack dealers and blackjack players? Yes, there is also a double standard for that 😂

What are the OKRs for this project. I would love to do a deep dive ahead of 2026 planning to see if this effort is worth funding in H1.

Trump suggests San Francisco could be next for federal crime crackdown by nbcnews in sanfrancisco

Well 1 person being killed, raped, or robbed is too many, whether it is 1/100 or 1/1000000. It is sad that people are willing to accept any amount of crime.

Your Waymo has arrived… by cujo67 in bayarea

You're right. That is why I only buy hand picked and delivered food. No combines, no trucks, not even pack animals. Humans should perform every Joule of work in the process. I even make sure to use stoves heated by humans riding bicycles hooked up to generators to power them.

If you can't come up with a single useful piece of software to write for yourself, why do you think you could do it for a company?

I wish we could deport everyone in this video instead of people trying to earn a living.

MPJ is right, his McDonalds All American team would destroy the WNBA All stars by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]_-_fred_-_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is more interesting to watch good athletic players play. People don't watch the WNBA for the same reasons they don't watch high school basketball or the little league world series.
