I think theres a difference between innovating and polishing. I would love YT to polish the product, but don’t want it to innovate itself into something other than a medium length video hosting platform.

Same. Really like YT. The algorithm is not great, but compared to other parts of the internet, YT is top tier for me.

Seems like the safest jobs are also going to be the most boring and soul sucking, so maybe think hard about what/if you want to optimize this way.

very rare for “its not about the money” to be true in business.

I tried the fillable forms in previous years. They certainly aren’t easy and don’t make you confident you are filing an accurate form. Paying $50-100 to save a few hours and a lot of worrying is well worth it to me, even if along the way I bemoan the complexity and inaccessibility of the current tax system.

$400M for 6900 units is about $58K per unit. Good god.

Of all the problems listed in critiques of fiat currency, what percent is just banking?

Seems hard to try to disentangle money and how money gets managed at scale.

Why would you think AI would be able to make enjoyable puzzles? Are there any examples where AI does a good job at the word play and culture references that make crosswords so enjoyable?

Please don’t abuse the back button.

yea, i just like reading articles about people falling 15,000 feet from the sky.

From your link, it looks like they have a criterion requiring that the vet has about half a bachelor degree already (60 credits), so it makes sense as a fast pass for college students or an incentive for a near grad dropout to go back and finish.

seems really bizarre to claim taking a light form of meth several times a day is healthier than exercising.

Seems categorically similar to having someone write your college admission application or your cover letter for a job application. Paying for an advantage where the established system is assuming you’re doing the work yourself and judging you on your ability to do so.

if you reduce your wages to 0, you’ll probably lose some profit.

Do Canadians or Germans have constitutionally dictated freedom of speech like Americans do?

The table in that page says photovoltaics are 41B kWh.

what is this title? how does a falling sperm count find something?

if your first thought is that the fine isn’t enough, often these fines go along with agreements to change business practices. in this case:

>In addition to imposing a $150 million civil penalty for violating the 2011 order, the new order adds more provisions to protect consumers in the future:

>Twitter is prohibited from using the phone numbers and email addresses it illegally collected to serve ads.

>Twitter must notify users about its improper use of phone numbers and email addresses, tell them about the FTC law enforcement action, and explain how they can turn off personalized ads and review their multi-factor authentication settings.

>Twitter must provide multi-factor authentication options that don’t require people to provide a phone number.

>Twitter must implement an enhanced privacy program and a beefed-up information security program that includes multiple new provisions spelled out in the order, get privacy and security assessments by an independent third party approved by the FTC, and report privacy or security incidents to the FTC within 30 days.

Are you looking for a good lie or something? A positive framing of the truth is probably the better option.

can you quote the part you found relevant in the tesla autopilot link?

i saw this:

“Current Autopilot features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous.”

i’d certainly be open to review marketing material to evaluate if they were making claims like that in 2019.

do other cars do that? mine is fully reliant on me doing the work.

Same here. I get a lot done from 9-11 and 1-3. I’ll do little things outside those windows, but I won’t push myself if I’m not feeling it. Still plenty productive.

exactly where i stopped reading

So do you have examples of cheerleading or what?

Are Spaces, Fleets, or Topics considered successes?

what would they do to regulate it?

what should they have done? waited til he returned? they very likely are giving him a severance, so why wait?

you should read this more from the perpective of a dude who just lost his job and will need to soon get rehired. not really a US culture thing.

i wonder if the guy who got fired was in charge of the decision to add that pop up…
