I can only give you anecdotes but all of my grandmothers and great aunts have friends and frequently go out with them. I'm not trying to argue with you about the pitiful state of elder care in the US though. I agree fully.

Men are lonely, isolated, and lack the social support that women do. Not uncommon to hear someone say "if it wasn't for ..... I would just disappear."

Men lack that "...." especially later in life when parents have passed away.

Comparing using Youtube to smoking is why I can never take these conversations seriously.

Friend of a friend built and ran a very successful restaurant for a decade give or take. Staff was treated and paid well and everyone was happy. Eventually they sold the place because they just didn't want to run it any more and the new owners drove it to shit in all the ways you would expect. They felt bad but what else were they suppose to do if they just didn't want to run it any more? Sometimes the answer isn't money, sometimes the answer is the owner is just tired and wants out.

You may be talking about the old course and not the revamped one. The revamped version of the course is now a Coursera "specialization" which are multiple courses that are either theory or project based

I'd probably just recommend the classic Andrew Ng courses on Coursera if you want to learn Machine Learning.

This goes beyond Youtube. Most ads are absolutely malicious and the web is unsafe and unusable without an adblocker. The FBI themselves recommend using an adblocker to stay safe online https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2022/PSA221221?=8324278624

Very few people in tech are in it for noble reasons. Although, a nice pair of golden handcuffs can let you delude yourself into thinking what you are doing is noble. I can't imagine people working on shadow profiles at Facebook think what they are doing is noble.

I fully buy it. Ethics and morals are a few rungs on the ladder beneath compensation for most software engineers. If the board wants to focus more on being a non-profit and safety, and Altman wants to focus more on commercialization and the economics of business, if my priority is money then where my loyalty goes is obvious.

This goes back to what the original commenter was saying. The rumor is that Altman was planning to launch an AI chip startup to take on Nvidia before his ejection from OpenAI.

Anthropic is about to pick up a bunch of top talent.

Artist aren't plants; Attenborough's voice isn't a seed.

Sure, I'd agree selling access is not the only method but given that there is a story on the front page of HN about once a week about why open-source maintainers should be paid and how the current model isn't sustainable, in my opinion shows, that relying on donations or public funding is a fool's errand and not a viable alternative.

I don't see copyright or a record label as artificial scarcity. I think the artist should have every right to profit from their work.

None of that is relevant to this discussion. We are talking about someone who spent time growing a skill and is charging people who want him to use that skill for whatever they are hiring them for.

Using the phrase "artificial scarcity" to describe someone's skills is ridiculous. A voice actor or artist being paid for their skills is not rent seeking.

Sounds like your beef should be with Distrokid not Spotify.

Before clicking on the link I thought you meant he was writing articles on Ansible and putting his non-Ansible opinions in the same articles. I have no problem with him writing his thoughts on his blog, whether they are on Ansible, abortion, or anything else.

People of a similar background tend to have similar thoughts. If you grew up white in America or black in Africa you will have at least a few experiences that most people of your background share. Expand the amount of people with diverse background and you will get a wider range of thoughts.

Would you say I'm being irrational by plucking this one quote out of the post?

>In programmer world, you really can’t beat this argument. Because programmers are hyper-rational.

This may be one of the biggest lies I've ever seen on the internet

Shipping a brick gets their account terminated. Shipping miniatures means when there is a dispute or refund attempt "You didn't read the item description. We had the item specs in their showing the item size, not our fault." I don't know about other market places but this has been a scam on eBay for decades.

Because Squarespace sponsors almost every Youtuber and apparently pay quite well.

What's your point?

I think "a lot of places" is doing some heavy lifting. There are a few cities in the US that have a train that connects to the airport but not many.

What's a meaningful question to you? Genuinely asking. All I care about is what's the pay and what's management like. What do you feel I should care about and ask about in an interview?

I completely agree that self-driving and electric cars aren't the answer but investing in public transport is. You won't get an argument out of me about that.

I do not believe "it's as dangerous as a human driver" is a good reason to look past all the problems with self-driving cars. There should be a higher standard than that.

Companies just don't use HackerOne in that case and HackerOne is dead. Which is why they are beholden to the companies in question

> Expensive daycare, indoctrinating schools, crappy government and private services, high taxes, NIMBYs, and the constant moral judgment of kidless activists who know what's best.

All of this applies to Arizona, Texas, and Florida. Arizona in particular has had the highest increase in housing cost since the pandemic started of out of any state.
