If the only value to universities is to have someone give a lecture with zero interaction, then yes, have university education happen over recordings. But most university professors (hopefully) engage with students, allow discussion/qu

Not defending tariffs. I think, in this particular case, they’re mostly harmful. But I’m actually not educated enough on the subject to really have strong opinions one way or another. My argument was that there are exceptions to the “custom

Yeah, it’s definitely subtle, for the most part. But if you pause it and move it around frames, you can definitely see where post processing attempted to sharpen some of the out-of-focus parts. But, again, the AI artifacts are from taking s

by jader201 1y ago
You’re applying a literal definition, but in practice, it can be different. For (a simplified) example, if there’s a 30% tariff on a $100 item, all else equal, the price is now $130, and the customer that originally would have paid $100 i

I won’t argue with the fact that these systems are designed to defeat your ability to control your habits. But it is possible, without having to install tech to defeat these systems for you. I think, as with most bad habits, the easiest way

The web is also far worse than it used to be. Content was so much better 15-20 years ago, when Google’s tooling was also better. 99% of content creators create content for a single reason: to monetize it. Usually through ads. The end result

Yeah, definitely. I have a Kia EV6, and just saying that if the same “patch” is offered for it, I won’t think twice about paying $65 for it. I’d also not be super happy they didn’t cover it, but I saw a comment about never buying a Hyundai

Agree the title is a bit misleading, but addressing what sounds like an exploit still feels like a patch of sorts. But yeah, “patch” usually implies software vs. hardware. Either way, agree with other comments that Hyundai should just eat t

I mean, it’s also cut vertically — except for the adjacent edges (true for both horizontal and vertical, since it’s a sphere).

Right, but horizontal is limited to two, best I can tell. No?

Why limit it to just two horizontal cuts? I’ve always just made equal horizontal and vertical cuts, then slice the onion crosswise. This results in pretty much no large pieces, and only some smaller pieces (which I prefer over larger ones,

If an athlete’s money comes primarily from their fame and/or ticket sales from spectators, to me that’s the definition of an entertainer.

What you're talking about is entertainers. Athletes that make that kind of money are entertaining crowds. So the same could be said for famous actors, musicians, etc. But athletes that aren't also entertainers don't make that
