I think GP was talking about FTX in this case. Uber also seemed a bit like a house of cards but I guess it’s pulling out of that. Yellow cabs for me.

Amazon was doing stuff though? Like getting books delivered to people’s homes.

The US has a large number of fairly undemocratic institutions such as Congress (supremely gerrymandered in many states), the electoral college (frequently favors the person who lost the popular vote) and the Senate (which rewards the same n

To be fair, having a constitution that’s nearly impossible to change or update may be helpful during years when authoritarians are in power.

Plenty of homeless people, tourists, people who’ve just been out too long on a single charge and need 5 minutes of juice to get them to their next destination, delivery workers. It’s a nice thing to make cities friendlier, along with things

Whole foods is just a common way to say you're buying ingredients then making them yourself. I think you're just arguing semantics for meanings that are fairly commonly used.

Might be talking about asylum seekers? Who I believe are allowed to stay until their asylum hearings? I mean... they talk about the hell of the legal immigration process without mentioning the hell people who're coming to our Southern

Duolingo’s definitely gotten better in the last few years at least. I try to do it on a self enforced “hard mode” where I close my eyes and listen before each exercise, and cover the answers. I also type all the exercises instead of the wor

I'd imagine that's the world's tradition for thousands of years and any thing different is a recent development and rather exclusive

Hmm, I'm pretty liberal but there's definitely some pretty large "slum" or "ghetto" areas outside certain major cities in Europe. Generally they're predominately unassimilated refugees as far as I can tell

That's what I asked my boss to do for me. Pair me with someone using our tool so they can ask me to do real world tasks and see how I can handle it. Should be later this month. And will try to do one session every month or so.

There's libraries, at least in the USA, in a lot of places.

Yea, they're depositing capital so that the small banks can meet depositor demand. It's a liquidity infusion. A lot of times the big banks don't want more small depositors anyways.

Aren't these models constantly updating though?

Sounds like TikTok or am I missing something? I'm not on social media (I guess I'm here on occasion), but it just sounds like a feed of shit to consume... Would it really be that much better than what we've got now?

It's like learning anything. Learning to sew was a never ending sequence of small steps that required lots of looking up to actually grok. Thread the bobbin then put it in the bobbin holder, then swap in a denim needle, thread the need

Just got an M1 MBP from work and... I am staggered. It's _so quiet_. There's no heat. The battery is still above 50% and I've been using it for nearly two days!! Just... staggered. What an upgrade.

I think it's wonderful you tried. Three times! Wow! Most people don't even try once. Sorry things didn't blow up the way you hoped, but I doubt you'll ever regret the fact you gave it a go. Hope you feel better soon. Goo

Are you, in the same post, arguing that "the citizens have not signed off on it", that "they seem to consider the work being done a very good thing", and that "things aren't Democratic"? Lol. Talk about co

Yea I suspect many of us know people who're terrible at LEET code problems who're great engineers. And vice versa. I hope Parent gets the help they need. I am thankful I cannot imagine a world where... Google's "elite&qu

Although, according to Matt Levine who writes Money Matters, that can sometimes be a feature instead of a bug whereby private firms are better able to ride bad market conditions than public firms are. In some cases you could see it being po

I'd say much more than a handful. Most of the super rich who made it through "smarts" had very rich parents. See Bill Gates, Elon Musk. Etc. See, all of the royalty of the world that still exist. See all of the oligarchs. It&

Unfortunately for your cousin, he's the bag holder that the people getting rich quick are going to take for a ride. As far as I can tell.

Well... not really right? Cause lots of people are rich through inheriance. And lots through the lottery. SBY appears to have gotten very rich through a simple arbitrage trade. Props to him for exploring the space and making the moves... bu

This seems to be talking about a much larger span of time. The recent push has been in the last few weeks to a month. We'll see if it's any different this time. I think it's in response to the uptick described in that article
