I don't understand how Thiel was able to buy his PayPal shares using a Roth. I thought you aren't allowed use your Roth to invest in a company you work for. Can someone who knows more than me explain where I am wrong?

In what way did the Spanish lose out to the Dutch or the Brits? Did you only think of North America and forget everything south of the rio grande (and a good deal north of it)?

It's worth a few billion (easily) to keep people's default time sink as aimlessly playing on FV/IG as opposed to chatting with ChatGPT. Even if that scroll is replaced by chatting with llama as opposed to seeing posts.

In many segments, especially ones served digitally, only one or a few companies will survive. It's very much "grow or die".

At least I know now before I put more effort into it. Thank you for the warning.

To read message archives or to read messages in realtime? Because I was working on a sideproject that required monitoring the messages in a channel, not just slash commands.

The bigger issue is probably less "how do I install software" and more "how do I not install malware". I'm not saying that Linux is more prone to malware, but that the steps we teach people to avoid issues on Window

I remember something about llama only being open-weight, not open-source. Does that mean deepseek is under a similar license and not completely open? I seem to recall some concern about llama's license.

Isn't deepseek 100% open source?

The US isn't insanely backwards. France hovers at 50-60% of citizens with passports. The UK has similar rates to the US. Italy is slightly higher at 60%. Japan and China have far lower rates. I think you just overestimate how common pa

9/11, which most people would put in the past few decades and a major terrorist act, was exclusively done by people on visas. Meanwhile, I think the post you are responding to was pointing out that other countries are likely to recipro

If you're looking for restrooms, did you use billboards or the road signs that advertise rest stops or gas?

by HWR_14 1y ago
When's the last time you stopped for food or gas on a road trip and used billboards rather than a maps app to help you choose a place to stop?

My guess is that it's cost effective to pay for prevention.

I take it they are using a lavalier microphone during lectures that broadcasts the recording in an unencrypted format? If so, that's a great solution.

Don't blame the legal department. They are legally required to send a C&D in situations like that or they can lose their trademarks.

It is in their best interest to have a fair game. The transparent dice are to prevent the players from cheating the casino, not prove it's fair to the players.

Probably not. But it eliminates a lot of what makes wood flammable. I wonder how it impacts the effects of humidity and time to make wood warp.

I looked up the cost to FedEx an envelope to somewhere in the US. Looks like $10 is about standard (unless you want to go too far or too rural). The USPS will send an envelope anywhere for $0.74. 10/0.74 = 13.5x The USPS has a monopoly

There is no reason that the ad network needs to be centralized. Thats more convenient, but not required.

It's pretty boilerplate. The standard for anonymous sources is to explain why you granted the source anonymity in about that many words. So frequently it's "because of fear of retribution" or "to speak openly about
