Readit News>In 10 years when robotaxi companies are short on cash and trying to IPO they will absolutely start speeding
Openly commit crimes when everything's being recorded and subject to discovery? What could possibly go wrong?
>They'll lock the doors and give you a paid presentation about Scientology during your ride.
Sounds like a good excuse for whoever's trapped to break open the side windows because he "felt he was in danger because of claustrophobia" or whatever. More seriously though, I don't see anything wrong with mandatory ads as long as it's disclosed ahead of time.

By your own admission "Google search has been enshittified", yet when was the last time google "accidentally" sent you to the competitor's site on the search results page?
Uh, every Google search already shows me sponsored links to competitors’ sites at the top of the results.
What would you say if in 5 years with Waymo, you want to go to Burger King but before taking you there, it suggests ‘hey, why don’t you go to this McDonald’s instead?’ At first you’d get a discount on your ride if you accept the suggestion, and then once everyone gets used to it, no more discounts and everyone ends up paying more than human taxis cost today.

That's really a shitty move from MS.
But, technically, since they're still in the commit history, you can retrieve them for personnal/private use.

If your tool was available on-premise I would be really interested. Since a tool like this is primarily intended, I think, for internal use cases, making it available on-premise should be a priority from my point of view.
Beside this, the tool looks great, congrats for the job, well done!
Don't worry you Americans.
Your government will soon find a reason to sue Airbus (corruption, unfair competition, etc.) in order to extract its secrets and supply them to Boeing, and voila, Airbus' technological lead will be wiped out.

Why is this flagged?
I think it is a relevant piece of information.
This is what censorship looks like.

Here in the US, we have freedom of expression.
Unfortunately, most countries (including European countries) don't.
Colin Kaepernick's NFL career has been destroyed just because he kneeled during an anthem.
More recently, Kyrie Irving had a lot of problems "just" because he shared a controversial documentary available on Amazon.
That's not what I would call "freedom of expression".
A big part of this was inspired by the last startup I worked at. In an effort to not deal with complexities of Kubernetes, we ended up on Heroku and was charged exorbitant amounts of money. One year spending close to 400k on Heroku alone, for what should’ve been 10-15k in cloud costs.
I think a big part of this is just making Kubernetes more friendly and easier to use for a small / midsized team of developers.
The goal is to make it easy enough for even a single developer to feel comfortable with, while also being powerful enough to be able to support a small team
