This is apple's modus operandi. Hobble competitors even if it's anti-customer. Fill the gap themselves for higher profits.

Yes but because it's trained on text and in the backend, images are converted to tokens, it is absolutely dogshit at navigation and basic puzzles. It can't figure out what Squirrels can about how to achieve goals in a maze.

Big companies have HR teams to check, small companies almost never do unless the owner has a special interest in it.

IRBs are one of the most wasteful and hurtful institutions in the developing world today. In order to prevent a few possible ethical lapses, they smother hundreds of good potential research. See Scott Alexander's works on IRB review.

My wife can be psychotic at times (in the medical meaning) and trying to argue against the delusions is useless, you just have to reflect and redirect.

These numbers are consistent across many surveys and research. Consider the fact that you may be in an information bubble.

Advertising is just a tool. Shopping addiction is really unfortunate but it exists with or without targeted ads - people buying too much stuff has existed since shopping existed. Like you said, you can't help someone who doesn't t

I work in advertising and defend tracking, targeting, Meta, etc all the time as largely harmless. But I think one exception is when they promote products which are bad. Tobacco ads are already banned - gambling should 100% be a banned ad ca

Yes. The Chinese government probably lost its citizens around $100b by not allowing TikTok to sell.

India also just banned TikTok, I wouldn't be surprised if bans became widespread outside of America with any country worried about China's geopolitical power.

US tech companies sell themselves to European tech companies all the time, Meta would definitely sell.

My wife's korean family were dickensian level poor with no advanced education and all of them immigrated here successfully.

Well known and incorrect. If you control PISA scores for demographics, the American education system is fine to great. You can see American Whites outperform most other countries. American Black's outperform parts of Europe, including

The data suggests that immigrants to America have lower crime rates than Americans but European immigrants have higher crime rates than Europeans. This reflects the relative criminality of all four groups.

Surprised this didn't reach the top of HN earlier. This is outrageous from the DOJ, hopefully Google can appeal. Given how the Google ecosystem works together, I don't see how this doesn't hurt consumers in the end. It's

This is very common in the developing world, due to lax regulations on lead in products.

In the end, maximizing GDP per Capita pretty closely maximizes most positive social outcomes. Richer countries are happier, less lonely, kinder to each other, etc.

Another classic case of European bureaucrats raiding the piggy jar of US tech companies. Like, obviously, marketplace is tied to Facebook the social network. It's how they authenticate sellers are real people and connect them to nearby

This is a bit much. The average American household uses about 29 kilowatts of power per day (29,000 megawatts). The difference between using a 4K screen and 8k screen for 8 hours a day is about 100 megawatts difference. I wouldn't get
