Why blame the Republicans? After all, the Democrats did pass a referendum on Trump 4 years ago and Trump lost. Since he wins now, I can only point to disarray on the Democrat side. Just look at NY State. 60% to Joe Biden in 2020 and 55% to

The irony of your comment is that tech workers want pay increases (amongst other things) and here we're talking about avoiding paying for their product. NYT is a great publication and I'm happy to pay less than a $1 a day for tons

The Dow Jones corp used to own the index and the newspaper prior to the mid 2000s. Now, News Corp runs the WSJ and the index is mostly owned and run by S&P. So there is a historical connection and probably some legacy ownership today.

The DJIA is a dinosaur and irrelevant. Its price-weighted because that was easier to calculate than a market-cap weighted fund when the thing was created ~140 years ago. Which means that high dollar value stocks have more weight in the inde

I am pretty sure Ive had cavities taken care of that were not cavities. Ultimately its a small procedure and nets the dentist a few $100 bucks - and the patient can't be bothered to get a 2nd opinion. Maybe this is where AI helps with

So this conforms to my earlier belief that OpenAI will continue to release new features that will kill swaths of startups every few months. Perplexity may be on its deathbed. I see some comments suggesting Perplexity output quality is much

My experience has been directionally the same as yours but not of the same magnitude. There's a lot of room from improvement but it's still very good. I'm in a slightly suburban setting... I suspect you're in a fender de
