I get it and agree, but historical significance doesn’t factor into what they put on front page or what is popular at the moment. It’s not a slow news day for sports and they don’t think their viewers care enough. I’m sure if we had their d

We have resources for plenty of nonessential expenditures that could be diverted if avoiding starvation was our collective goal. I’m not always sure it would be, but the constraint isn’t a death sentence on its own.

It’s certainly noteworthy and interesting but I could see how Running as sport isn’t popular enough for front page. Especially during NBA and NHL playoffs, NFL draft, and whatever else might be going on.

It’s relevant in the sense that I would have never guessed this little prank would get someone arrested. We need to learn/adapt what we post, see, believe in photos to avoid arrest. Especially so in the AI reality because generating th

I’m from Houston originally and tried to describe River Oaks exactly. It’s an old money suburb that is now “in the loop” before 40 miles of sprawl in every direction. This and a few other places like it are where most wealthy people in Hous

As an American, I don’t think of the suburbs when I think of rich people. I think of what’s left of our middle class just trying to do their best. Many of them probably have negative net worth when debt is considered. But they need public s

Seems like this can be applied to an increasingly large pool of subjects, where things are polarized by default and having a moderate/indifferent opinion is unusual. For example, I thought of US politics while reading your comment

Ibuprofen works for me about the same as acetaminophen but it tears my stomach up. If I use it for more than a two or three days at labeled usage rates, I’ll feel like I have an ulcer. The article mentions this but it’s my answer to “how ar

Also totally possible that it was just an unpublished partnership of sorts between AWS and Uber. AWS wants the logo and a big case study implementation to give the product some credibility or a boost. Uber may not have been charged at all,

My only problem lumping them in is a huge part of those products are the UI and UX. It’s what you interact with as a user. So, a reskin with no new features is a valid version in my opinion. It’s not always for the best mind you, but I do t

Breaking and entering into a home is more serious of a crime than $1000 of property damage. But regardless of that, it’s a point just to highlight how little policing resources exists and tells a broader story. At least in my city, cops don

The man in the sky can see what is being scanned in real time, it’s on his video display just like the cash register except overlayed on the video of you. If they see a ribeye in your hand and it says bananas on the screen, good chance they

The best a thief can do is just not ring up the steak at all and if confronted just act like it’s an honest mistake. Anyone just buying bananas and steaks is going to look suspicious fast. So rotating the banana for other things is key. Hav

Calling card doesn’t actually mean anything without enforcement. My city police didn’t have time to investigate when someone kicked in my back door and fled once the alarm sounded. I really doubt they give a crap about looking me up and com

I think with this openness the problem is there’s so many fluctuations and estimates that average consumer would think you’re being dishonest even if you weren’t. They’d see that you acquired an item for $20 and could never quite understand

The visual risk of walking out without paying is much greater than the risk that anyone actually investigates AND tries to track him down for it. Back when I was a kid it was common to still just have simple price tag stickers on every sing

This is most likely trajectory I fear. It reminds me a lot of Oracle, where they rebrand and reskin products just to change pricing/marketing without adding anything.

Yeah. Combine this with much of Corpos right now using a “burn as many tokens as you need” policy on AI, the incentive is there for them to raise price and find an equilibrium point or at least reduce the bleed.

My thought is similar and I feel the answer is no chance . How many t-shirts and coffee mugs do you need to sell just to cover break even? Why should a customer return? I suppose it could be interesting to watch the AI adjust from it'

Idk, they've all been wanting these kiosks to take off for a long while - maybe ~10 years - and it's just a UX problem keeping most people away from them. Given the labor savings at stake and the simple availability of speech prom

I’d rather the kiosk give the same speed data entry shortcuts/ui. Or honestly, speech to text should be used here.

It’s pure efficiency. I always customize my orders and it’s too many taps on a usually laggy system. I’m also usually ordering for 3, all customized. I can tell a cashier the entire order in less than 20s. And somehow their UI allows them t
