What other word games do people enjoy? My favorites on iOS Alpha Omega Sticky Terms (I struggle with this) Typeshift Blackbar (old, not maintained, but we can still play. Not a game in strict sense, very enjoyable)

My experience with them has been the same. On one of my employer's websites, the top three bots were Google, Bytedance and Semrush. It is a small website for a niche audience, not even in English, and changes very infrequently (like on

That would be a useful and funny site

I meant the accommodation going to waste (unused), which could be used by someone else. But yes, in terms of money, it sure is waste to pay more for the flight.

Isn’t it a waste to book accommodation and not use it? If it is a popular place, maybe they’ll give it to walkins or something, but otherwise?

Also, just because something is legal, doesn’t make it ethical, moral or fair. It is just that, legal

Why is this surprising? Isn't being anti-employee and being a psycho the most basic requirement for being a CEO of huge companies these days?

Shouldn’t voters at least try in good faith to inform themselves? How else can we expect democracy to work? For example - The day after Brexit - so many people regretted voting to leave. They could’ve thought about it 24 hours earlier, no?

Not trying to be snarky or sarcastic. Who reads 1116 pages???? How can congress people vote on a bill that is so large, possibly with very dense info to grasp (haven't read it, just guessing, as it is tax/finance related bill)? Th

I don’t know about Google but many places I have worked had people who say a lot of things but those words don’t actually mean anything. You listen to them for half hour but you can’t summarize why they said in those 30 minutes, no matter h

Let’s assume all of this is done in good faith (which is debatable) and genuine love to bring manufacturing back to America. If you were in charge, how would you do it? What is the long term plan here? Even with massive capital, it is near

Good on him for giving away his fortune. Anyone else feeling uneasy that society is increasingly dependent on a handful of ultra wealthy people's generosity for investment in certain good initiatives? We live in a time where there are

On one hand, it feels pointless for someone like me to be environmentally conscious - no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to pollute even one millionth of pollution that people like Zuck are going to cause. But I am living on thi

There was a video of Zuck on reddit, lecturing about how nations should work together on climate change. While his mega yachts burn 2000 gallons of fuel per hour . The level of hypocrisy of these people is off the charts. https:/&#x2

Delivery times don't matter as much - you can always order 15-30 mins earlier, you could also microwave the food a few seconds if it is cold. That said, I am not a fan of ordering often - food quality is generally bad in my area, thos

When it comes to trade and geopolitics, I don't think countries would care about morality or authoritarian rule etc. As long as they are able to protect themselves against China's expansion views, countries will happily do busines

This is the thing that is so depressing. I know someone who owns 6 apartments, 5 of which he has rented out and his family is living in the 6th. Every couple of years, he will save enough money for the down payment, buy an apartment and his

Isn't that fair? What am I missing?

Why are you dismissing legitimate concerns of ordinary Americans here? For a family that lives paycheck to paycheck, even a 10% increase in cost of an essential item (like baby formula) can be catastrophic. If you are able to absorb the inc

If I were a medium to large business (I suppose small businesses will get screwed anyways, they wouldn't have the resources to handle challenges like this) how would I even prepare for such scenarios? Even if we assume I am somehow sma

I don't understand this "saving face", disrespect logic. Whose "face" is being saved here, by digging in? Is face-saving (what does that even mean in global politics?) so much more important over the livelihoods o

Yes, Reddit is biased. That said, they are posting numbers, pictures, facts etc, at least on this topic. Dismissing all those discussions and those with genuine concerns doesn't seem wise either

What is the best case scenario here? Even if the tariff war ends next month, wouldn't production/shipping etc take weeks/months to recover? How are small businesses with limited cash flow expected to survive in the interim? T

There is a lot of discussion on Reddit on empty ports etc. It sounds quite scary. I suppose one silver lining is people ordering less crap? Might be good for the environment, just like during COVID. But a lot of businesses and people are go

What are the costs like, for such a service? You have to spend for transcribing (even if you ran something like Whisper) and pay for APIs to summarize, correct?

We don’t need to go that far. I am “just” a developer but I have been in meetings where developers like me had much better ideas and suggestions on product, strategy etc than the suits. I remember being urgently called into a meeting with a

I haven't used FB in over a decade, so maybe I am not up-to-date. While YouTube and FB are both machines to sell ads, I'd take YouTube over FB any day. I can pay YouTube a few dollars and avoid ads, YouTube is an insanely useful

Wynn-Williams gets Zuck a chance to address the UN General Assembly. As is his wont, Zuck refuses to be briefed before he takes the dais Holy moly! No matter what your feelings are towards the effectiveness of U.N, addressing the general

They gotta start somewhere, no? It is going to be extremely difficult (maybe even close to impossible) to dislodge the incumbents, doesn't mean they shouldn't try
