This happens when the opposite side turns on the propaganda machine on that specific subject (which when Biden was a possibility wouldn't make sense).

He's old and has been for a while, and I'm all for kamala. Just interesting how that flaw was "overlooked" when it was convenient.

Imagine being able to generate gravel over every single road crack and never fixed hole.

Amazing.

Surviving is temporary. Being right is forever.

Kind of right but of course it's not just a filter to make sure the right kind of people get funded.

But it is a bet that only matters if it pays 100 or 1000x. If it's not paying that it's as good as 0. That's why, most of the times, vc money does not benefit the company, unless it manages to have that insane level of growth. It's also frequently not in the best interest of the founder.

Kind of selfish form you, aren't you thinking about the shareholders?

Let's think then of electric VEHICLES. you know buses, trucks included.

Being against electric cars, at this moment, is being for combustion cars.

Electric Vehicles.

What kind of public api has access to the full user list?

Our data engineer insists in lowercasing everything and removing some other formatting like new lines on free text fields.

They say it's "better for elastic search".

To me that makes no sense and loses information that can't be added back. But I couldn't really convince them otherwise. So far no real problem has come out of it but it makes for a worse experience for the user. Like company names that are acronyms show up as all lowercase. (ibm, llc, etc.) or free text fields that we miss when the user wrote in caps or added paragraphs.

What are your thoughts on this?
