It was a good investment because Google doesn't want to see a switch away from their cash-cow search ads business model, therefore controlling and limiting the biggest competitor is a good investment.

You can be the owner/operator of the business, and are therefore not working for someone else, but you are nevertheless selling your body.

Purchasing crypto as an investment asset is the primary use case. Just because this asset was part of a speculative bubble, doesn't mean it's a fraudulent or corrupt asset.

I've been using ChatGPT to help with a variety of work-related tasks and it's most helpful to use it to generate a first draft, or a set of written options, from which various edits and revisions are made manually until a final product is completed.

Although the conference says you're allowed to use ChatGPT for grammar checking and editing, the process I describe works in reverse - ChatGPT comes up with the base of the text and the human edits.

If such a process were to be used to write a paper, or anything else, it seems to me it would be extremely difficult to even know it was "written" by AI and this process eliminates the risk of the AI making basic mistakes as the content is edited and approved by a human.

The root causes are thanks to the policies of the Bank of Canada and CMHC.

Imagine if the government of Canada used just 1% of the 89% of crown land it owns out of all the land in Canada to give to people for housing.

>It’s hotels for me every time as well.

I like to search for newly built hotels as they usually offer the nicest accommodations.

Yeah, if anything Google is better positioned thanks to their years of experience dealing with spammers who try everything to game the system.

Wait until the AI starts writing requirements and specifications docs.

There's no reference. It's just fashionable to hate on anything associated with Elon at the moment.

If you're going to make a claim like "Hacker News X", can you please provide some evidence for this in the form of links to HN comments?

Are EU firms being scrutinized as much as American ones? Are these GDPR penalties on American businesses a protectionist measure by the EU?

Is a metaverse defined only with respect to the VR medium through which the virtual world is experienced? Metaverses (virtual worlds) already exist all around us online, and yes I already hang out in several of them.

What is new is the explosion of the study of "misinformation/disinformation" in academia.

Yeah, I only order on the site that's giving me a massive discount.

It's hard to see how these services would viably bring in customers without the discounting.

>Adjust your expectations.

This is so true, life is all about expectations. If you hope for the best, but plan for, and expect the worst, you'll be pleasantly surprised along the way.

>I still have low confidence in almost everything I'm told, and doing proper investigations into all of it is excessively time consuming, terrible for my mental health, and frequently impossible/difficult without institutional affiliation for things like being able to read primary academic sources that are being reported on.

>How is the average person supposed to navigate this? There's literally no way.

By embracing the fact that we live in a state of information uncertainty and you can't know everything.

People need to put in hard work to develop their worldview based on analyzing primary source material.

You're assuming this sample is representative.

The only username you should use more than once is your real name.

And suddenly everyone is extremely concerned about the state of Twitter's finances.

Hating on Twitter has become just another political in-group signal. Yawn.

>Somehow the SEC can’t even win a case against XRP which fails the Howey Test miserably. If XRP isn’t a security I don’t know what is.

They're beholden to the established financial system and players and "regulating" crypto would also mean giving crypto a stamp of approval, which they seemingly do not want to do.
