The Alexa does not have 11 stops of info above middle grey. More like 6-7 at most.

Right but they mention the decibel levels in the article. I’ve never actually measured the levels that come through my headphones so it’s possible I’ve set them too loud.

Tenants can definitely bankrupt a landlord.

And as the poster above you mentioned American health care is the most advanced in the world. So even if it is “double” the types of treatments available here are much better.

I’ve had friends travel here just to get treated.

Yes it matters, because there will be a court involved in this process as opposed to if the government “owned” your bank account nothing would stop it from knowing exactly what was in there at all times.

The reverse can also be true, tenants don’t care about landlords.

Hmm idk about this. You should always be suspicious when something has overwhelming bipartisan support and the US Security State also wants to ban it. See this video: https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1637483021120024579

Because they can’t control it like they can control Google, Microsoft etc. inserting whatever back doors they want. Video outlines it well.

Future data will still have to come from someone e.g. a person.

This is called hyperlinking. The entire web is built on this concept.

Agreed had a similar horrible experience where Airbnb deleted my bad review. Just use chargebacks on your credit card, it’s there to protect you.

No, fakes are specifically designed to emulate the underlying dependency somehow so that you can assert on it’s state later. Stubs don’t try to do that at all and are mostly for returning a default response.

Mocks and stubs provide lower test fidelity than the real thing. Also makes your tests more brittle as you need to update them whenever the real implementation changes.

No that’s not a mock that’s a stub. See this book from software engineers at Google, it talks about various test doubles: https://abseil.io/resources/swe-book/html/ch13.html

Of course there can be evidence.

There was plenty of evidence that COVID was not as dangerous to children as it was to elderly and yet politicians kept schools locked down. This is why many parents took their kids out of public school and into private schools which re-opened, or at least families that could afford it did. There has been a massive impact to school-age children and the development loss is massive. See this article from 2021: https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/vinay-prasad/90658

Many of the studies referenced in that article are from 2020, yet schools had not re-opened.

In addition to that the teachers union in the US influenced guidance by the CDC on school openings: https://nypost.com/2021/05/01/teachers-union-collaborated-wi...

And yet governments worldwide ignored the cost-benefit of lockdowns and removing kids from schools. Perhaps it’s not such an obvious thing…

Ok, no one is stopping you from starting your own business and doing whatever you want. Also not everyone is capable of everything, if you're short you're not going to be in the NBA...

RIF’s also involve a random element so that the distribution of people let go is sufficiently equal among age sex etc to avoid lawsuits.

Just kidding(a little bit). So many smart people at google though in general the average caliber IME was always really high compared to other places.

Percentage wise it was the same though.

Hindsight is 20/20(pun). Did you sell all your stocks at the top in Jan 2022? No one can predict a recession otherwise they’d be billionaires.

How would you expect other people to predict that there would be a recession? IMO google tried to stave off layoffs for as long as possible.

Crazy that you don’t realize how bad the border problem is. First we need to secure the border that should be priority number one bar none. Then maybe we can talk about how to reform immigration policy.

Far right is a pretty loaded term.

I’m actually really happy that they extracted terms from McCarthy. Everyone who spent time slamming these 20 Republicans should publicly apologize and write them a thank you card because they got more victories for their constituents than most politicians ever do. Here’s what they got:

- Jeffersonian Motion to vacate the chair. This allows a single person to make the motion to remove the speaker if he goes back on his word or policy agenda.

- A "Church" style committee: this allows us to look into the weaponization of orgs like the FBI against the American people.

- Term Limit Vote

- Single Subject Bills(that can't be loaded with irrelevant nonsense

- Texas Border Plan

- A budget that stops an increase in the debt ceiling and holds senate accountable.

- Ending emergency funding and all COVID mandates and funding.

- 72 Hours to read a bill.

These all sound like objectively good things regardless of your political orientation.

Idk why selling something you believe in disqualifies you as a scientist.

He’s also helped pioneer and make credible the entire field of aging research to reform people’s idea of how to look at aging.

Don’t be so cynical dude.

I tend to have a pretty eclectic taste.

- John Company II edition

- Root: The Marauder Expansion

- Horse and Carriage, splotter games

I wouldn’t call San Francisco easy…

They also have remote operators standing by who jump in when the car gets confused tho…

Time spent doing a job != skill. Once you hit a certain threshold of course.

Google already has this internally.

Unfortunately plant proteins are not as digestible as animal proteins. I believe you get roughly 60% of the protein uptake from pea protein as compared to meat. This is due to the profile of specific amino acids(leucine, methionine) limiting its uptake.
