It doesn't seem like it is confirmed it was on 16 [1]. The Coast Guard said the ship was not in immediate danger. Does that change your opinion? [1] https://alaskabeacon.com/briefs…

The Uber driver likely gets a different job, probably something a little less stressful and low paying (and frankly dangerous) than Uber.

Because I make significantly more than the guaranteed rate of the delivery driver. I didn't claim being a delivery driver was so lucrative that I wanted to do it. I just pointed ou…

Why is tip before the order the norm? That is the question. Why would you tip before the service is provided if the tip is meant to be for good service? If the tip is no longer a b…

If you are a supergiant like Citadel you can simply acquire positions which are so large they are the equivalent of someone's portfolio (or put another way, Citadel sees a huge blo…

What is the evidence that tipped workers are universally underpaid? Compared to who and against what benchmark? In the law passed by the city, the drivers are now very well compens…

I think this is probably true. Allowed for Citadel and others to create a ton of pressure on SA's highly leveraged positions. Always a bigger whale out there with the ability to ex…

I think this just further confuses end users and is another reason we should get rid of tipping culture. Tips are currently serving several purposes in users' minds: 1. earned for …

Yeah, I don't think the terrorism in India is from lack of being heard. It is generally extremist arms interested in destabilizing India to strengthen other regional powers (usuall…

Is this similar to Singapore where much of the housing stock is government housing?

Incredible story, just pure resourcefulness and grit in following this through. I know it sucks to have this disease, but kudos for how you approached this.

You can even just instruct the LLM to create a context file for you! They are surprisingly good at that as well.

I'm not sure how you drew the conclusion they don't think it will be profitable soon or an AI ceiling. The only thing we can realistically glean from IPO is the need for more funds…

Uber WAS a pump and dump. Insiders used the public for exit liquidity and any public shareholders got stuck with a pretty crap stock. Uber went up 100% from IPO to mid 2025, Google…

The biggest regulation of building in space is... where do the debris go. You are tightly monitored for how much trash reenters into the atmosphere, so there is still SOME level of…

Just to keep things in perspective, Uber IPO-ed for 82.4B. SpaceX is IPOing for over 10x more.

As others have echoed, I think a subscription model is FINE for a game IF you are upfront about that being the cost. I suspect many customers are frustrated when they purchase some…

Ultimately consumers can then make a better choice, to simply drop those subscription based games.

Generally speaking PhD students do not pay tuition, they are given a stipend and so there are no tuition fees.

The last 5 years of Game of The Year (Astro Bot (2024), Baldur's Gate 3 (2023), Elden Ring (2022), It Takes Two (2021), and The Last of Us Part II (2020)) are all nearly 45 GB+. Al…

Waymo does slow down as it approaches stop signs (usually where crosswalks are) and it will slow down if there is a pedestrian entering the roadway (crosswalk or not) since it does…

Not too much to specifically take away yet, but appears that the degradation detection system did not function well. That is pretty egregious for FSD given a human won't be able to…

The current fruit is automating away a ton of human labor with no foreseeable way to continue to engage that labor. It is poison for the majority of humanity which will bear fruit …

Is this true now? The models are better, the integrations are now in your email, search, youtube, docs, spreadsheets, slides, Gemini is now higher than ChatGPT in the App Stores I …

Your efficiency is having the $$ spent on goods worth the $$ given. However, the goal of food banks is to spend money on FOOD and make sure the FOOD is given out to those in need (…
