Well, not if rents crash because all the offices moved out from the area, and the lunch spot can afford to stay open and lowers prices. We don't talk enough about how the real estate industry is a gigantic drag on the economy.

I've recently found myself having to pay for a few things online with bitcoin, not because they have anything to do with bitcoin, but because bitcoin payments actually worked and Visa/MC didn't! For all the talk in the early

AI does some things but it's nowhere near as good as it has to be to justify its valuations.

Why would that be anyone's problem? If users keep having to sue Apple to get stuff Apple was supposed to have given them, courts may impose higher and higher penalties until Apple starts just giving them to users without wasting anyone

There's plenty they could do. Nobody knows what it is, but it exists. And maintaining a curated knowledge base never had very much to do with what brought people to the site, but they still don't seem to get that. Could be conflic

Depends how you measure, surely. They had less TVs and computers and prepackaged food, the same amount of sunlight, and more freedom (as measured by average income to rent ratio).

Is this a problem? We expect universities to have a pro-truth, pro-reality, pro-knowledge bias, which are things the Republican party overtly rejects. We could expect that Republicans might not make it to universities as often, or they migh

A degree isn't SUPPOSED to be an arbitrary differentiator. It's supposed to signal that you know a certain thing because you studied it for 4 years. Whether that's currently true in America I couldn't say.

But that's the point, isn't it? Browsers, proxies and servers always assume POST isn't idempotent. When the user presses F5 the browser asks if they want to do the thing again. You can't prevent that without making it mo

This is a "hacker" (startup founder who aims to enrich billionaire angel investors) forum, not a "hacker" (person who makes acoustic modem out of toilet plunger cups because it's illegal to plug into the phone line)

I assume you offered him to buy a support contract or get banned. Otherwise why is he still allowed to do that?

Facebook showed a little popup where you could enter your MySpace username and password and continuously import it. Or so I heard - I wasn't there.

Ad money doesn't come from humans with jobs. It comes from algorithms tuned to extract money from shareholders.

But even given that, how is it that everything doesn't work very well? The normal functioning of markets would be that badly-working things are slowly driven out, while well-working things grow and replace them. Even without any refe

Just yesterday I saw this YouTube rant from someone called Jaiden Animations, about how everything is just shit now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBZv0_MImIY She opens with an example of a bank. She walked in and asked f

Most can, but you do get reports that sometimes they don't, and better safe than sorry. I'd guess it would have more to do with heat, though.

I don't think anyone is making it taboo to say someone's melanin content affects how they absorb UV light. It's taboo when you tie it to all sorts of other things, say, how well they should do at school.

More realistically only the ones that admin doesn't like, HR doesn't like, or the CEO doesn't like would be fired while the rest would be retained. Arbitrary discretion in the exercise of power is the bedrock of our society.

I think Trump's just been running a simple popularity-seeking loop for a while. Do a thing; if his people like it, do it more; otherwise do it less. I've heard that even Hitler was like this: that he didn't start out hating J

There were no socialist/communist/marxist countries, but there were dictatorships that pretended to be socialist/communist/marxist. Kinda like Hitler did, actually.
