one of those insufferable section 8 'get rich' influencers brags about doing this all the time on tiktok.

The funny thing is the Fold is actually the smallest phone by height, and the thickness change isn't as big as you'd think...

Live Nation owns a significant swathe of venues in America, and requires that artists use Ticketmaster if they want to be able to play those venues. And they continue to buy up more and more venues. Not sure how you can say this integration is just them being 'scapegoated'.

This feels as much likely to be a prompt problem as a 'bad answer from a model' problem.

I mean, Digg! Digg, and its ensuing collapse from a redesign, is the reason that Reddit got its userbase!

They were upstarts who got sent to prison for bilking the rich and famous. They were from well-off families, but not the 'halls of power', really.

Airbnb doesn't service 'demand for housing', it artificially decreases supply for the benefit of tourists.

Are you thinking their post is indicating that they were part of the Wirecard audits? They're saying they've undergone similar audits.

A US background check for most jobs is generally just a literal check on whether you've been charged with any crimes, and doesn't go much more detailed than that.

This has the same energy as Micro$oft.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvk_XylEmLo was a really good overview of how and when this changed, in terms of labor.

Another comment elsewhere says it's not really optional, it's just down to the number of seats the plane has. For certain seat configurations it's required.

Mouse side button. Caps lock if I'm using a mouse that doesn't have one - but like, it depends on the context you're using PTT in. I only use it while gaming, really.

Exactly how I felt. Some experiences are just universal!

When the very hyped Magic the Gathering Lord of the Rings sets came out, there was an expensive pack of all of the 'commander decks'. Apparently almost every person who ordered it ended up just getting one of the four decks instead. Amazon didn't proactively refund or... do anything.

It can be grown in the PNW, in America. There are a few farms, e.g. https://www.thewasabistore.com/the-farm-1

Yeah, the thread mentions all of this - and definitely doesn't say we should keep doing this, its core takeaway is that it points to the possibility of things to do.

Prefabs, of which there are many modern counterparts.

Why was the submission title changed from the much more descriptive actual article headline? I have no idea who Kyle Vogt is without the context of 'co-founder and CEO'.

This is the reverse of their apparent differences, at least as stated elsewhere in the comments.

I got a renewal notice a few months ago, and they wanted to raise my already pretty high rent by like 15%. It was higher than what they charge for brand new apartments, not even counting leasing incentives. I made a counter-offer and got told 'we don't negotiate'. The propublica article (https://www.propublica.org/article/yieldstar-rent-increase-r...) talks about how exactly this lack of negotiation / removing the human element lets them drive up rents across the board.

It's insane, and toxic.

Yes, indeed, fortunately if you actually read even the first line of the article you'd understand that this isn't talking about theft.

IP addresses were intended to be a public good. The fact that AWS has monopolized so many of them, and now that they own a significant fraction of them is deciding to charge for them. It's ridiculous.

This sounds like effectively the same premise as Doctorow's Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom.

What are those better newsletters?

This is an insanely misinformed take - Lina Khan's FTC has done more in the last year than they have in the preceding decade, despite a significant baked-in culture that dismisses even the concept of antitrust as being harmful. Can you point to some examples of her poor execution?
