I’m not following this comment. Yes, it’s a true statement. But do you mean it changes the situation? Should your comment be read as support for them spending their money sourced through donations to defend the accusations?

Is it fairer to say, initiated by? Listen to Michael Collins speak on the first episode of “13 Minutes to the Moon.” “We did it.” The “we” being humanity, not nationalism.
Yes, it started with rivalry, but it lifted humanity’s ceiling. There is a lot wrong with the Apollo story (race, gender), but these issues were a symptom of the time, less a cause. These issues were reckoning against a legacy.
The goal was to show superiority, not leverage it. I wish this was the case for a nation capable of going to the moon today. Instead of leverage against shared and common issues, the goal was to better.
Weird critique. Someone builds a quality pair of lightweight scissors, and you critique it like a boastful 5-axis CNC operator.
Like the rest of us needing to edit many couple of minutes long videos, there is massive gap in the market for something lighter weight. Look at Capcuts success over Adobe: 200+ million active user per month for Capcut.
It doesn’t sound like one app to rule them all, rather you can use one of the “approved” app of your choosing. I am guessing but given the main providers are all involved, I suspect it will mean you can use their app in anyone else’s spots, and they will continue to provide the underlying contract with the council.
If you’re leaning out, spend two weeks leaning in.
I did, and learned a ton, and likely not going back to how I was before, or how I used it a week ago.
The comments in the article about not reading the agent is good but it’s more than that…
Vibe coding is for non-coders. Yet, you get a feel for the vibe of the AI. With windsurf, you have two or three files open, and working in one. It starts smashing out the multi, interspersed, line edits and you know with a flutter of your eyes, it’s got your vibe and correctly predicted your next ten lines. And for a moment you forgive it for leading you astray when you read what it said.
Yes - totally agree on side note. Took me a while to realise that firebase is now a high-level hat sat on top of GCP that you can take off, and put back on, as you please. Very neat.
It’s insanely lean to get started. But at the end of the day, its GCP underneath with GCP billing (i.e. no spend caps). The easy mode UX, and the risk of real expenditure, sit in contradiction to each other. Of course, there a very generous free tier to placate that. But things like realtime need to be used with real cost considerations, and not frivolously once you need a feature only available on pay as you go.
We likely agree that firebase is superb. But your criticism of using ‘alternative’ is unjust both in terms of the breadth of firebase, and why a competitor might target someone about to choose Firebase.
The Musk headline was loosely tidied to someone arrested (whilst) praying *outside* and ignores the context of what was happening at the time, and for the many hours before the arrest. Minor details like that.
Happy to live in a legal systems where these devices are banned, and we can cross the road freely.
Wow the other comments on this thread are all ironic, exaggerated, and misleading.
A little context is necessary.
“Up to” is worth emphasis. Even if in an extreme scenario a 5 year sentence was disbursed only up to 2.5 years would be in prison (and likely far less), automatic release at 2 thirds in the worst case.
