Making a note of Samsung; I've had the worst time looking for large, dumb monitors. I've returned about 4 now due to the obnoxious boot times, incompatibility, menu trees, ads(!), etc.
Seems wild right? Would you believe that there’s a male contraceptive that’s been actively used in other countries successfully for over a decade, is easily and painlessly reversible, and non-hormonal?
GLP1s have been on the market for at least a decade, they’re pretty well studied at this point. Their sudden popularity is due to the FDA allowing it to be prescribed for obesity (instead of diabetes), not the discovery of a new drug.
I honestly think their leadership could be replaced with an LLM at this point.
This is just an ad for Signal. There’s nothing really coherent about her take, she just sees the entire world through the lens of surveillance so she’s trying to shoehorn today’s hot topic into that narrative as well.
This blows my mind that they're actually pursuing this, the two complaints are that they schemed to decrease competition among landlords and that they monopolized commercial revenue management software. Both are completely bogus.
You could say the entire profession of appraising real estate prices "decreases competition" if the first complaint is valid.
And they certainly haven't monopolized the software space, I'd never even heard of RealPage until the lawsuit, I used Rentometer. There are dozens more, predicting rent prices is hardly a novel idea.
I think that was like one of the toy problems in Andrew Ng's online ML course.
That first article entirely revolves around some random finance bro’s idle speculation in a YouTube comment. It blows my mind that people are so trusting of obvious guess work given that it’s a privately held company that’s not disclosing their financials.
I’m not making fun of them, I really like them. I also appreciate the shared vocabulary; in conversations with good actors they’re very beneficial.
However, I stand by my statement that they’re abused for propagating one’s own agenda.
Like you said there are adversarial LPs, and sometimes there is a clear winner but the opposing side can masquerade behind the opposing LP and make it seem like they’re in good faith.
They’re a net benefit for sure, but it really works best when you don’t have bad actors (I guess that’s probably true for all paradigms though).
You get paid cash in lieu of RSUs to bring your early years' TC up to what you signed up for, you could just buy AMZN with you cash if you wanted to.
I really like Amazon's LPs, but I think they're often stretched to accommodate whatever opinion one has.
Every attempt I’ve made to interact with Lexis Nexis has been a nightmare.
Honestly though, what does a publisher of laws do these days? Couldn’t the government just say “actually we’re gonna take over publishing”, throw the PDF in S3 and call it a day?

Maybe they meant the university
How would you handle it? Give them a stern talking-to?
I always thought Google+ should've ditched the "dislike" button for a "nonplussed" button.
I think you’re operating under the assumption that all people should live in big cities.
I think it’s fine if cities get too expensive; people just need to wake up to the idea of “this place is too expensive for me”.
There are lots of very affordable houses in the Midwest, but everyone seems to want to be a star in Hollywood or a financier in New York (no matter how delusional they are).
Tbh it’s a fair question, but we haven’t seen a rapid escalation of incidents in planes from those manufacturers. So I’d venture the guess “not as bad as Boeing”
It’s a monthly subscription that apparently a lot of people are willing to pay for, feels like an honest business which is shocking in tech.
Kagi is head and shoulder better at finding things that are useful. Google is going the way of AOL.
Yahoo (they’re just a portfolio now right?)
Please don’t do that; this is a place for educated, civil people to discuss the nuances of our age, not a political flame war.
What about: "I want you to earmark this for open source AI research, and not R&D specifically aimed at making profits"
Even though this has been down voted into oblivion, I’ll bite: to what political ends would you propose the labor class exercise their power?
That’s a very charitable interpretation of “libraries have become homeless shelters”
Oh wow, the collaboration that exactly zero people wanted to see
Yeah, and why don't we teach people how to vote for the correct candidate either? I think we need some sort of big, faceless institution to tell us how to live and interact with our kids, that would probably be the safest. /s
Is this a welfare/ tax payer thing? Not sure what you’re going for.
True, it's state by state, but a lot of states allow it. And even if you're not in the right state you can always go to sites from other countries (e.g. betonline.ag)
Agreed, the gaming industry has done it's damndest to undermine the restrictions of gambling.
