I'm going to go against the grain here and say this is probably a positive thing for Meta products, and honestly every other "free" service to provide these kinds of revenue avenue…

I would argue the problem is multi-faceted, and screens are a convenient boogeyman which is a relatively easy thing to point to. The harder problems are that both parents need jobs…

Also, as a reminder, leaded gas (avgas) is still used all over the United States pumping lead into the environment. If you live near an airport you are especially at increased risk…

I don’t think that is specific to Amazon. If anything I think the whole paradigm of “over analyzing communications with vacuous update suggestions that don’t matter” is probably th…

As someone who was super interested in the 538-style of election coverage in 2008, I've kind of fallen "out of love" so to speak with election models and forecasting in general. I'…

I wonder if there is a big disconnect partially due to the fact that people are talking about different models. The top tier coding models (sonnet, o1, deepseek) are all pretty goo…

Well you have to keep in mind that Nvidia has a 3 trillion dollar valuation. That kind of heavy valuation comes with heavy expectations about future growth. Some of those assumptio…

When it comes to comparing market cap, the more apt business relevant to AMD's MI line is Nvidia's data center division, and investors are probably rightly assessing that AMD will …

I honestly don't think there is any algorithm. For all the bluster and commitment to being "data driven", none of the companies I've seen mandate RTO have provided any sort of data…

I encourage you to read the linked decision I referenced which references this exact case: https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2012cv1... The judge ruled there was…

A relevant decision by a Federal judge regarding the legality of the disposition matrix, concerning specifically US citizens abroad: https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_publi…

This is not really true though. Congress is responsible for granting authority to the President regarding valid military targets. This is why drone strikes are only legal against t…

It's really impossible to understand and determine before hand how the court would rule on any of these theoretical cases that may result as a consequence of this decision. It is u…

AWS also recently ended support for Mysql 5, so if you had an RDS instance with that version running past the cutoff, your support costs ballooned exorbitantly.

My main problem with Silicon Graphics (& have the same problem with Sun Microsystems) is that they just tried to do too much in propriety hardware and completely resisted standards…

Like a lot of language we use when discussing things at the universe scale, the word “expanding” operates as a placeholder with analogs in day to day life but isn’t a perfect repre…

> It is “important to remember” precisely because these days people are not remembering this and speak with a sense of inevitability about discovering life elsewhere Could you expa…

> Moreover, no one has succeeded in hatching living matter from non living matter and we must honestly say we do not know how this process came about or the faintest estimate of ho…

This is assuming people's viewpoints don't evolve as they get older. “Celui qui n’est pas républicain à vingt ans fait douter de la générosité de son âme; mais celui qui, après tre…

> basically you dont consider the experience of the non trafficked providers I do consider the experience of non-trafficked providers, but legalization has implications for both th…

I think our main disagreement is in the recognition of the fact that sex trafficking and prostitution are irrevocably linked, such that you cannot meaningfully tackle one without c…

> expanding access to labor rights, labor organizations, and the government prosecuting traffickers is a more productive use of resources than the rhetorical solution to the “mount…

I would agree with you if the entire issue really did exist in a vacuum where "consenting adults" were truly the only variables, but as we've demonstrably seen from legalization ef…

> New engineers are falling behind. That's not my experience at all. Having onboarded new engineers (new grads) from pre and post pandemic, I would actually say onboarding experien…

Snap consistently has excessive SBC - their stock awards are top in the industry.
