It tracks what's on the screen and sends it back to Alphabet. If you're watching a video about BBQ, enjoy a bunch of ads for Omaha steaks and big green egg in your Gmail. On a less serious note, the audience for this is people who

As one data point, if I want something new, I go Amazon first and eBay second. If I want something used, I go to eBay first. My search usually ends there, but if I can't find it there, I probably have to go to a specialty forum. Even f

When you're already promoting baseless conspiracy theories, what's a little more acting in bad faith?

The poor should get to share in the benefits of the improving community too, instead of having to move out, probably further from work, friends, etc. There are ways to control for this, of course, so it doesn't have to be so. Honestly,

Are you implying there's a link between having money and being immune to corruption? In the US, just look at the federal government or titans of industry, like Elon Musk.

It looks like there's an fpga implementation as part of the mister project. It could scratch the itch if the real hardware is out of reach. https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Archie_MiSTer

Most mass media is conservative owned. It follows that they'll be friendly to conservative politicians.

Tons of the games were simple shmups, so I can understand people who might have the wrong idea about the library. Also, the library in Japan was way more impressive than what made it to the west. Gekisha Boy in particular still stands out

NEC made some great looking consoles, in Japan. The PC Engine, the PC Engine Shuttle, the IFU-30 unit "briefcase", and the SuperGrafx. I think console design peaked with the SuperGrafx. In the back of my mind, I have the idea that

Proper layoffs require at least 60 days of notice or 60 days of pay. Maybe you weren't part of a proper layoff, but if you think you were, check out the WARN act.

Younger men are into gambling for a lot of reasons. It's just too easy to gamble when you can do it on your phone (especially when you're already on your phone). They don't think hard work will get them ahead in life (they ar

You might be interested in the IBM PC compatible and Wintel wikipedia pages. This is a super high level timeline, but it is more interesting to get into the detail. At a high level, the IBM PC platform were very well documented & sold w

AI slop is hurting my community in a different way. We have an internal viva engage community for quick development how to type questions at work. More frequently, instead of asking "how to" questions to the crowd to crowdsource a

Testing is expensive, subjective and favors people with resources to game the test. When thinking about stuff like this, we should aim for something more universal, with the understanding that this is not a moral judgement on a person. In t

It would be disingenuous framing because the argument against copyright stems from a belief that information should be free. Meta does not do things in this spirit. There's no about face needed...

Yes it is, and the narrator told us so. There's no need to put words in my mouth; I agree with the narrator that you can want to do a good thing for many reasons. In this case, the narrator tells us why he did what he did.

One of the things I like about this is that OP is giving people genuine compliments without any particular agenda. Wanting that priceless glowing and singing feeling is an agenda.

"Machiavellian" is probably a better term for a book that describes how to manipulate people (for your own benefit). I don't think a red pilled book would teach you how to manipulate people. I think it would be an attempt to

There is lots of exposure to these differences: songs, books, TV, Internet posts, etc. that isn't necessarily there for North Korean.

Neat. Porsche releases different gear from time to time based on classic liveries. An espresso cup wearing this livery would be nice. For example, here's what's left of the martini racing collection: https://shop.porsch

With the loopholes, stores can raise the baseline prices and give some people coupons for some products. To avoid this reliably, shop in person at a supermarket that doesn't have a loyalty program.

FWIW, Trump's FTC dropped a price discrimination lawsuit against Pepsi after Pepsi donated $500k to Trump's inauguration. The suit was brought up under Biden's administration. Republican politicians do support price discrimin

I agree. To add a data point, I used to squirrel all my money away, because I was afraid that if I didn't, there wouldn't be any left at retirement. It's like I was inadvertently following FIRE principals. It wasn't unti

It's a systemic issue if we can't afford to have morals. In the US, It's not just a paycheck you lose with your job. Many benefits are tied to employment. It's hard enough to quit a job (for any reason) in order to take

The part that almost nobody wants to touch is raising taxes to support the spending. NYC passed their pied a terre tax. Even federally, at least some in congress are trying to push for new taxes. Taxing the wealthy is the most popular way

the left says it’s fine when we spend the money on social programs. FWIW, for every dollar given to people for social programs like the child tax credit, they spend $1.50-$2 locally. This seems fine to me & it was popular country-wide

FYI, I specifically mentioned Aldi because they don't have loyalty cards. I understand that might not have been clear to everyone, so I'll edit my comment to make it clear.

Just going to Aldi and shopping for yourself insulates you from this nonsense, no? ETA: Aldi here is representing any store without a loyalty program
