Super interesting, thanks for telling :)

Where in the world was this?

Specifically, this year's TI finals tickets are $699+fees for the 3 day pass.

When was this out of interest? And why did you do it?

My back-of-an-envelope maths tells me your family worked for approximately £2 per hour, though I imagine if this was a few decades ago that would be worth a lot more.

Any sort of credit. Car loans, credit cards, overdrafts, phone contracts, personal loans, if you are a business owner they can affect your commercial loans. Rental agreements too.

The top answer offers this 2 word solution: nimium valedīxit or totiēns valedīxit

You're referring to PSD2 / OpenBanking?

What do you mean it's impossible to get access to?

If you're a start-up wanting to share your customers' financial data, you can make an API.

If you're a start-up wanting to get access to your (potential) customers' financial data from other institutions, you can get access through one of the many providers (Tink, GoCardless etc), or become a provider yourself with enough work.

There are more people working in telecomms now than there were when we had buildings full of switchers. _That_ is the point being made. Individual roles may go by the wayside but technological innovations result in industry-wide growth.

Also, to state the obvious, humans aren't horses.

This is really the crux of the GenAI hype cycle for me. Other than code auto-completes, and cool one-off uses ("Generate me a picture of a clown on Mars!"), I'm yet to see much of a use-case.

At my work, we're trying to use GenAI to make a chatbot for internal info sharing/onboarding/etc. I am constantly asking myself how this will ever be better than a well-written company wiki/employee handbook with a search function.

I think you've misread it, though this is my first time encountering these laws so do correct me. It says to multiply the time by 3x and the costs by 10x

>Because this is what always happens when tools cause productivity gains. Budgets aren't infinite.

I think you'd actually struggle to find an example in history where productivity gains have resulted in prolonged, and industry-wide unemployment for those trained in that area.

I completely agree that technology can make individuals redundant, as in your flight crew example. And yet we are seeing a global shortage of airline pilots, how do you explain that? If technology makes people unemployed (across an economy, over the medium-long term), why aren't there piles of pilots working at McDonald's?

Is not that as technology improves, industries which were once small/unprofitable can balloon into hugely lucrative industries?

Also "aircraft", it's like "sheep" or "deer", they can be singular or plural.

Sounds like you simply need a communication device - not necessarily a "phone" with all that encompasses nowadays. One option would be to disable all apps/functions that aren't calling or texting (maybe emailing too depending on your usage). Another option would be getting a non-smart phone to enforce the above.

I disagree it is that clear-cut (including GP's inversion). Access to credit is essential to businesses and governments (and individuals).

Also, an outlet for gambling urges while a lot of sports events were cancelled. Now, they're betting on sports again.

Probably.. but I suspect it has been much more costly than we would've previously thought.

Here's an alternative I use all the time (without window functions) that I don't think is widely known! Works on SQL Server and I think is more performant?:

  SELECT department, first_name, salary
  FROM salary AS s
  WHERE s.[salary] = (
    SELECT MAX(ex.[salary])
    FROM salary AS ex
    WHERE s.[department] = ex.[department])

I think the article does quite a good job of explaining why this isn't necessarily an obvious mistake.

Sounds like quite a canny lawyer to me!

You will be seen as active (including on comms software (at least the ones I've tried)) if you have any sort of video playing e.g. Youtube in an active tab. Quite handy.

Hot takes don't have to be political. Sport (X team deserve to win more than the current leaders), food (flats are better than drumsticks), etc.

Sounds like a Silicon Valley scene!

Decades of practice in fact

Balderdash in the UK!

What legal risk is the company at without a clause like this?

That would kill me in a short amount of time. Is this a permanent state of affairs?

Credit modelling: How to predict if someone will pay us back or not (probably an unsolvable problem)

The Austrian school predicted a disease-related economic crisis?

> they successfully predict every crisis to the tee (except for timing

What does this mean?

The tube is incredibly empty at the moment. I imagine it's not much of a concern

It did happen in the UK. Banks that took bailouts traded shares for cash with the Treasury (this is a layman's understanding at least). RBS notably became 84% publicly owned.

The real scandal is the government selling back the shares for less than they paid for them (when RBS was on the brink of collapse).

Facilitating people doing things isn't valuable?
