Yes. It was the only time and place to see cartoons as a kid then. Missed Saturday AM TV? Gotta wait until next Saturday AM. As for ad effectiveness, wow, every single kid in your class saw that new HotWheels car advertised.
In speaking with my republican father in law on his opposition to universal healthcare, it dawned on me that he views it as a sort of zero sum game. If he has healthcare today, and then universal healthcare offers it to folks that don't have it today, it is a loss for him.
Yes I think so. People who have <other skill> can now more easily add basic coding to their skillset using AI tools. Perhaps AI gives the developer other skills too but maybe less of a force multiplier given their role.
Gabe Newell thinks AI tools will result in a 'funny situation' where people who don't know how to program become 'more effective developers of value' than those who've been at it for a decade
Use it to promote making friends in person. Perhaps a curated and editable list of actual 3rd spaces in the real world. All anonymous users (like HN), popular 3rd spaces can be voted up/down per city/town. Maybe each venue could include posts for meet times or events.
It's interesting to ponder that Chat might simply replace browsers and web pages. Not entirely for everyone, but I can see younger folks starting out online just using a chat interface (like Capt Kirk)
Could an answer here be for smaller websites to convert their sites into chatbots which could prevent AI scrapers from slurping up all their content/drive up their hosting costs?
Yes saw that but no suggestion that perhaps consciously or subconsciously they followed the Dead's template since the article focuses on their business model
Yes that's what I did term 1. But, looking back, I could have saved a lot of time not following news stories that ultimately went nowhere (e.g. new healthcare & infrastructure plans, etc). The rhetoric was there, but the willingness to put words into action was not -- which is at the heart of my question.
Pleasantly surprised to see this relates to the 1979 series. The cast photos section really needs to include some of the highlights of the show though: Jane Seymour, Maren Jensen, and Anne Lockhart ;)
Informative article. For anyone looking for more on FMs 60s resurgence there is a decent documentary on Boston's WBCN. Trailer at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ljlNTH9UIzU
Pretty impressive whether you like Phish or not. Ringo needs to borrow this visual to sing Octopus's Garden in the Sphere: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fWMlWLYHcgc
"It’s time to face the fact that our tax code needs a dose of fairness when it comes to retirement savings, and that starts with cracking down on massive Roth IRA accounts built on assets from sweetheart, inside deals."
I think I saw this during Covid where some of my far left and far right acquaintances united in their mutual anti-vax support. And not just me as there are quite a few articles outlining where right QAnon and the left Yoga community came together to reject mainstream consensus. So both ends of the horseshoe touched on this issue and were far from the center. Ref https://www.wired.co.uk/article/yoga-disinformation-qanon-co...
I remember refreshing f*ckedcompany.com daily and seeing the long list of failed/failing companies listed. I was working for a shrink-wrap box application vendor and really wanted to get in on the Internet wave. The bubble pop made it easier to see who was going to survive, which really helped with the next job move to an early SaaS vendor. Didn't lose too much money in market because I didn't have much to lose. Interesting times.
Great start. Please develop a plugin I can secretly add to my Mother's browser to dial down the outrage she reads on the fly! She'll notice 'redacted' ;)
I could be wrong but I think there was a period after the exchanges were used (no need to use full names) and folks continued using 2 letters as a prefix to a number because they were easier to remember that way (can still remember my cousin's 70s number to this day PL78750). You would look at the phone to determine the number for P and L.
"I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower, but you make more money as a leader." Creed ;)
I would layer the 80-20 rule on top of this principle. For the 20% that get 80% of sh*t done, this doesn't apply imho. But for the other 80% it seems pretty accurate.
