If you are panicking do not do it. It’s really that simple. Work with a therapist to understand first why you are incapable of being comfortable with your life choices. Let me just say when I made the choice to accept a lower living standard I had first spent several months living that life first, so when it was forced on me there was no difficulty adapting.

Shuttles are just more congestion. Need sky trains.

Hear hear! They could have used their money to create sky trains to extremely high density housing (high rises). Google and Facebook could do this as well. Win win for all. The fact that they don’t shows they really do not care.

Weirdly high rated though. Lots of pictures. Clearly someone likes this. Something is happening here. Any knitters that can explain?

Probably not even false flag, it’d be more subtle. Likely they want to muddle the pot for those trying to accuse Russians.

The internet itself is an evolution of darpa net.

What's reallly non trivial is getting developers to uptake a new APi they are unfamiliar with.

Probably not great to say over 50 are Marginalized

Clearly you are not a power excel user. Excel is brilliant for such tables. The charting,manipulation, etl, and dramatic query functionality are astounding. In the right hands you can do truly amazing things.

That said, there are some great cloud analytics offerings which are going to compete.

Yay bundling, the last resort of the scurvy monopolies

Or, maybe, gasp companies are realizing that senior guidance is particularly important amongst all these self-entitled millennials.

"Many boomers facing retirement want to work because they fear they don't have enough money for retirement." - shouldn't this increase the unemployment rate?

"boardroom backscratch" that's the phrase I've always wanted to use but never knew it. Thx!

Yeah, absolutely. I remember that being a big thing as to what Google Video said when they bought youtube. The immediacy of the upload was a huge factor in YouTube's success. It's not hard to imagine that YouTube won via better PM. That often happens.

Startups are generally more tolerant of failure and half baked code. Googlers, who have lived there whole lives achieving perfection in school, not so much. I see this all the time at big companies that hire 4.0 GPA from ivy leagues.

I think this should be amended to "don't do creepy stuff" in the cloud.

This is why encryption on our phones is so important. I want my phone knowing all sorts of "creepy" things about me (medical records, etc) so that it can be more useful. What I don't want is that information anywhere except under my immediate control.

Storing encrypted in the cloud is OK as well, I suppose, as long as the encryption key is only available to me.

yes, it’s important to look at the invisible actors as well. Facebook and google are front line brands in your face. We have to remember the invisible trackers and ISPs as well, sometimes much worse because they are not scrutinized and cooperate more with government.

There were an estimated 40,100 motor vehicle deaths last year, or a drop of 1 percent from the prior year.

50K * 0.001 is $50 dollars.

Better to just pay a flat fee and get better routing.

Limits don't work. Market might not cross your price.

Ok, fair point. Sometimes though you have to take a step back and appreciate the wonderful complexity of the universe. So long have we railed against utilities for their environmental destruction - when it looks like they might be the actual solution for what we face.

It really makes you question all of your assumptions about what you know and the people who you think might be working against you. Maybe there is some way they can work with you.

I laughed long and hard when I read this. You never really know who your friends and enemies are.

What people don’t realize is that these 0$ trading commissions just make it up in their routing of the transactions. You’re not going to get the best price.

Use interactive brokers if you want a good price. Flat fee is higher but the trade routes are great.

My guess is this sort of experimentation is pretty inevitable in various geographic regions where laws are loose, so rather than encouraging folks to do this we should probably focus more on trying to intellectually prepare them.

What does a talking chimpanzee mean for the world? Hopefully not a source of donor organs and rather a symbol that life in all its forms must be cherished and respected.

Unfortunately the value of a fake review is so high no ML will ever be able to defeat it. The only way to fix it is with trusted reviewers but there a lot of products on there and only so many trusted reviewers.

The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) prohibits the use of genetic information to determine health insurance eligibility or premium

Or, just face value, wireless is where the big money is.

This is exactly why I believe income tax is stupid. It's people like this who should be lifted up on our shoulders by our economic system and taxed 0%. They are the real leaders of us all. A high consumption tax that punishes buying stupid things like super cars and private yachts would help do this.

“the millionaire will be but a trustee for the poor” - what a great thing to say. Where are these great men?

Some of them are pretty incredible - you can not tell at all they are fakes. I think it depends on how close the face matches the person being faked and how generic the lighting is. If you scroll down in the OP article you'll see some impressive examples.

Sure, that's possible. But then such cheap theatrics will be rendered moot as well.

Anyways, I can assure you that there are a lot of women who are near suicidal over these things. By undermining their authenticity I think a lot of women will be secretly happy for deepfakes.
