Actually, its only $18,000 a year (18,000,000 * 0.001). The would have to charge a lot more than that to pay anyone anything.

Interesting that it could be done at all - but having a hard time coming up with any real world use cases for this. Are there any?

I am more or less in favor of this - but how do you solve for the problem that not everyone in the car is actually driving and may not want to be prevented from using their phone when riding as a passenger? If we can solve that one, it soun

I use brave exclusively for years - zero problems - seems faster to me than other options. Also use it with Spotify and can't remember ever having an issue (brave on mac if it makes a difference). Yes it has Tor built-in, but you don&#

publicly funded meaning that they will only report news that is favorable to whoever happens to be in power at the time and controls the purse strings? no thanks. The USA does not need state sponsored media.

I've seen it done for consultants before - in fact was working for mega financial services company in the years heading up to the 2008 crash. When it hit, they told all the consultants from the big consulting firms (i.e. Anderson etc)

that is more like it. Or we fired 1/2 the scrum masters, so now each project only gets 50% of one instead of a FT one, and BTW, all of a sudden developer meetings get cut in half as a side benefit. Every large company I have ever worke

the movement was well underway before covid hit - you are trying to rewrite history.

>>I, too, am curious why schools changed their admissions policies before studying the matter closely. Probably for the same reason Oregon decided to decriminalize most drugs thinking it would reduce usage and harm (it didn't).

It didn't start with the pandemic, it just continued during it. This article from the Washington Post, in October 2019 (before the pandemic started) reported that as of then, 40% of accredited schools had already dropped this require

What is your solution? Let the government run all internet infrastructure? Maybe we should let the federal government run it, like it does the Social Security Administration - which btw, shuts down its website for 4 hours every weekday nigh

3 times as much in fact - but nobody wants to talk about that one, then again - both of these events are only a tiny, tiny fraction (like 1/3 of 1%) of the methane released in a typical year.

that the correct way to fight racism is with more racism?

so we should solve racism by being even more racist?

exactly - if I asked it to generate an image of a historical figure, and the color was not accurate - that can (possibly) be explained by a bug or training error that might improve over time - but if I ask it to generate a picture of a &#x2

Its worse than that - it would flat out refuse to generate a white person, even if you asked it to - i.e. 'generate a picture of a white' family and it would refuse, 'generate a picture of a black family' and it would wo

We own a second fridge, a GE (family of 6 so we need the extra storage). It is now ~65 years old and has never needed service and has not failed to maintain the correct temperature. Not sure you can buy one like anymore.

How much faster would the network need to get, in order to meet (or at least approach) the speed of a local SSD? are we talking about needing to 2x or 3x the speed, or by factors of hundreds or thousands?

its not a way of not doing anything, its a way of showing the absurdity of telling little old ladies they can't get a new gas stove - or the struggling landscaper that he has to buy more expensive battery operated mowers, but Bill gate

The math doesn't matter - tell the poor and middle class they can no longer buy a gas lawnmower or gas stove, but the rich can own 5 mansions, multiple private jets and 400' yachts (all of which damage the environment way more tha

what is california's excuse for not solving the problem? non-republicans control everything and have for decades - and yet the problem remains. I guess it is much easier to just blame 'someone else', rather than solve the p

It is almost comical how you want to blame those evil 'conservatives' for this - I guess that makes it easy for democrats to have excuses about why they haven't solved the problem in places where they 100% control the stateho

Your other option is to get a steady part-time job that at least covers your basic living expenses, and work full-time on your own business.

exactly -if I ran a big company, no way I would send out a notice to people still working there every time someone was let go to say who got fired or laid off. People who need to know find out who is gone, it just takes a little longer.

So in other words, incomplete information - or worse, conflicting information - or are you somehow claiming that 100% of the information that MacArthur had available to him at the time clearly and unequivocally pointed in one direction, and
