Yes. Clearly these systems are smart enough to know what the best outcomes are, and also they are the ones that lead to the maximum ad revenue for the site.

I've personally noticed this as a big trend. For example, I had become more and more reliant on my GPS in the car. I've not really been the outer control loop of the vehicle. An automated system tells me what to do. I recently

I think younger generations are tired of getting a worse deal than older generations. If you means-test, some old people get less social security. If you increase the cap, working people pay more tax.

There are a whole lot of hotels that include a kitchen in the U.S. Many extended stay/suite hotels have a stove, microwave, utensils/dishes, refrigerator, and some a dishwasher. It's more rare to have an oven, although I ha

A lot of "extended stay" hotels have this. One brand I've used and have had pretty good luck with is Sonder. They're not quite full service -- they have a spartan reception and want you to use their app for everything,

There are plenty of hotels where you can get multiple rooms and a washing machine. When traveling with kids, one big advantage of hotels is predictability. The last thing I want to do when I'm pulling in after a long flight an hour pa

Corporations can be jailed. You can freeze their assets and suspend their operations for a period of time. We do this in some circumstances like failing to renew a business license, but not for say, murder.

Above the limit, I agree that people speeding bear primary responsibility, although if you're not going the limit in the left lane, you are creating an obstacle for sure. If you're going significantly below the limit though, what

The Autobahn is much more challenging to drive on due to the extreme speed variation between trucks in the right lane going 80 kph and race car drivers in the left going 250. IMO the only reason that it's acceptably safe is strict Germ

The only problem is that at least in Germany, there are two numbers, 110 for the police, and 112 for fire/ambulance.

After hearing so many horror stories of stuff not being delivered on time, being damaged, or even held hostage for extra payment, when I did a cross country move, I just hired local movers to load and unload the truck and I drove it myself.

Part of the issue with movers is that you hire them rarely and so they don’t rely much on repeat business. Car dealers have a similar problem.

They may recognize that it's an issue, but the problem is going to be procurement and manufacturing. Ukraine is building FPV drones for about $500 each. A Switchblade 300, which is roughly comparable to these, costs $60,000. At those

I see this with the U.S. military today. If you look at what has happened in the last year in Ukraine, the Ukranians are building about 250,000 drones a month. I'm not sure the U.S. military would prevail against such a force. The U

There's probably an effect of people who tried as hard as they could to get their goods loaded under the wire before the tariffs took effect, and so the following week would be less, but the following week would be closer to normal.

Honestly I doubt that shelves will be empty. Retailers are ordering less stuff from China because they’re predicting that demand will go down when the price is higher. If retailers were marking stuff up roughly 100% and take the same mark

Given that it took them 17 years to lay the first piece of track, I'm not optimistic that it will be complete in my lifetime.

The problem with all of this is that the majority of spending is in three areas: 1. Health care services (About 33%) 2. Social Security and other transfer payments (About 25%) (EITC, SNAP, housing subsidies, etc) 3. Defense (About 15%) 4. I

Uber could provide a range or a point in the middle, but it seems like they just estimate the best case scenario and then it's usually not the best case.

This is my biggest aggravation. They consistently underreport estimated pickup times. Dropoff times are essentially universally significantly later than the estimate before booking. It's things like this that make agents potentially

Dead reckoning is also inaccurate due to unknown winds. Even if you take off with the best available forecast, it’s often wrong by 5mph+. After three hours your position is off by 15 miles. That’s not remotely good enough for most aviati

Well yes, it's complicated. That's part of what I meant by the "media environment." In the post-war period, broadcast media was mostly dominant, but it was both regulated and subject to the fairness doctrine, but also

It's partially an educational problem. I'm old enough to have been taught an idealized version of U.S. history in school. We learned things like how George Washington chopped down his father's cherry tree, but when his fath

You would normally at least be entitled to due process. My understanding is that Trump is citing a law that allows the President to deport nationals of a country we are at war with without due process, except we aren’t at war with Turkey.

I remember the first time I went to a German dentist and he told me how amazing my teeth looked and that he could tell I must be American. Fluoride may have some downsides but it definitely has upsides.

I think most of this is just downstream of the Mac being eclipsed by the iPhone in terms of Apple’s revenue. The Mac just isn’t critical to Apple’s business like it was in 2009 when Snow Leopard came out. They would have started developme

I think probably people will also use LLMs to debug. At this point, I think you can consider vibe-coding with an LLM to be pretty equivalent to using a fairly junior developer with access to stack overflow. It's going to make a lot of

As an American that goes to academic/tech conferences, this situation is also pretty negative, because it certainly is going to lead to many organizers moving their conferences to other places. If I were running the convention center i
