I don't know how you use search but I often find incredible information that I didn't explicitly search for. How do you quantify such things? How can you say with a straight face t…

My partner works at MSFT and I can confirm this.

OpenAI is currently being evaluated in terms of hundreds of billions. That’s an insane number for creating a product that “speeds up searching a bit”.

One of the major reasons there’s such a shortage of homes in the US is the extensive permit process required. Pivoting from data centers to home construction is not a straightforwa…

The article you gave is derived from a poll, not a study. As for the quote, I can’t find it in the article. Can you point me to it? I did click on one of the studies and it indicat…

There’s no evidence of AI causing layoffs. There’s lots of evidence of CEOs using AI as a scapegoat to entice investors: https://apnews.com/article/ai-layoffs-tech-industry-jobs-ec…

Some of the variables that made the Great Depression what it was included very high tariff rates and lack of quality federal oversight. Today, we have the highest tariffs since rig…

There was a study recently that showed how not only did devs overestimate the time saved using AI, but that they were net negative compared to the control group. Anyway, that about…

Long before I was born. If you're trying to suss out which came first, the addiction or the slot machines, I don't have a definitive answer for you.

I'll throw some anecdotal data down. I'm a military brat who grew up on bases around the country and in Germany. My dad was a gambling addict. It was not uncommon for us to spend a…

"Yeah the house may be on fire but we can't even begin to put it out until we make sure every other house in the city is not also on fire."

> I do not have enough information to definitely say whether it’s good or bad. Usually when I don't have enough information on an issue, I take it upon myself to learn more about i…

7.26 is technically more than 7.25. Further, a low floor acts as a weight, depressing wages generally. "Raising the federal minimum wage to $15 by 2025 would lift wages for over 33…

Trump just fired the BLS chief because the economic data from liberation day onward was terrible..

yeah, actually. If the worst thing you can find when paying living wages for workers is a small drop of 2.7% employment among fast food chains, that sounds like a great trade off. …

You view this as zero sum. How many new business owners would be created if people had enough to save? How many new businesses would exist if more money was flowing in the economy?…

> Decades of worsening conditions for the commoner is Ron Wyden's idea of a booming economy. Democrats are useful idiots. I can't anymore, folks. Republicans passed the largest tax…

I got my first job as a grocer in 2010 which paid a minimum wage of $7.25/hr. That was 15 years ago and the minimum wage is still $7.25/hr.

Current unemployment is a very low 4%, which completely contradicts your baseless theory.

You can do that without creating a single unaccountable entity housing everyone's data. In fact, it is a weakness to have a single point of failure.

Your argument is that stronger nations bully weaker nations, and somehow this supports the idea that there should be only one strong nation.

That's because we elected a clown, not because our military is weak.

Again, you're not making the argument you think you are. "Russia attacked a weaker country because it is stronger. This is why we need one country to be stronger than any other cou…
