I use Kagi, but I will say, the Quick Answer (Place an interrogation after your query for an LLM based answer) has been way more useful than I initially thought

There's at the very least some freedom of choice, which makes it so if you don't get a good provider you can see if a different one meets your needs

If Oracle support isn't all the way there the alternative is basically to kick rocks

Assuming decent providers exist, yes, that's an advantage.

And plenty of times a lot can be done to mitigate those, not being able to fix every chance, doesn't mean we should'nt try to fix what we can

Germany has a ban on coldcalling, Sao Paulo on outdoors advertising, Chile on Mascots / Kid Targeted Branding on Cereals

We can expand on those, I won't say neccessarily kill all advetisement, but we could certainly do a lot better than the current climate

By the time they reach the public domain they aren't though, and the public can and should do with them as they see fit

Modernizing / adapting is the least damaging change to be done here

As someone that had been thinking on buying both a tablet and some sort of chromebook for light web based workflows on the go, they 100% have my attention

I will say, it has weirded me out that they have been so cagey about the pricing in particular, which AFAICT, is the only thing not public about the laptop before the pre order date

Probably worried about tariffs. Now they know.

Now they need to arrange selling and shipping from outside the US for their non US customers so they aren't affected :)

I also saw no mention about the weight. Did you? Matters to me a lot for a 12".

Either that, or niches are booming and are getting properly served, either by passion or profit

The alternatives being

- Not writing, making everyone worse off

- Writing for the love of the art, no deal, and the author being worse off

- Or taking her current deal, the world gets her book, and she gets some money (Trusting her revsplit is better than average, as she claims, so no sense on other possible deals)

At least to me doesn't come across as sore, she's explaining a common misconception of a situation she's in

The Flight Price to Tolerable Layover time ratio is something too personal for me to convey to an assistant

I have had failed logins in a old but neccessary microsoft account about 20 times a day from Random IP's in Random Countries over the last 3 years (Could be more, but I only checked so far back)

I can see every attempt, unsuccessful as they are, which is nice, but I'm also surprised that there's no rate limiting

For an account that's never been outside of the American Continent, I'm surprised a Gazillion attempts from Russia, Africa, or even Czechia don't ring any alarms (Or if they do, aren't visible)

Isn't there precedent with Firefighters?

Firefighting in the US is not (generally?) done by private corporations.
