They’re integrating with Airlines’ booking systems directly. This will work until you become so big that the airlines feel threatened by you, at which point they’ll cut the API access and implement whatever idea you were working on. That’s

Home gyms go through fad cycles just like fashion does. Peloton is on the upswing of the “streaming fitness” fad, but give it one or two more years and it will start to die down. I’ll only admit Peloton is here to stay if we see a correlati

You don’t need to corrupt all of the voting processes though, you only need to do it in a few key states. Funnily enough, the states you’d need to do it in would be the poorer ones who’d have no ability to discern a good voting solution fro

It's just a video, but the scrollbar is the tracker for playback. Definitely a novel take on playing a video in a web page, but nothing too technical going on here.

I’m on the latest MacBook and it has to reboot to update itself. So... what are you trying to say here?

The purpose of these machines isn’t to actually work as intended. These machines are here for plausible deniability: “we pulled you aside because the machine said so, not because you’re Muslim”.

I disagree that we’ll see an uptick. The elderly care industry is very labour intensive. You can have software that, for example, makes it easier to track who the nurse should give medication to, but you still need a nurse to do it. You sti

Neumann is definitely unconventional, but I don’t see how being a bit eccentric can lead to this. I’d put Musk and Thiel in the “weirdo techies” group along with Neumann, and both of their businesses are thriving. SoftBank was just running

This could be a social politics move. By disassociating trips with money earned, it’ll stop a driver saying “I’m not going to accept a trip from these people/this area because then I won’t make as much money than if I waited for a trip

NATO was formed as a deterrence against Russian aggression. To then buy weapons from them is a pretty big conflict of interest.

Have you ever worked for a large company that is recognized by everyone? You didn’t update your terms and conditions to meet the regulation date as of 12:01 AM? Lawsuit. You aren’t following accessibility standards? Reported to the human ri

I don't agree with it, but two day shipping is the silver bullet that separates Amazon from the competition. I don't hear these stories about Walmart or Costco's warehouses, clearly there's something about the way Amazon

Money saved on labour means you can spend more money on more labour! Or you can buy more machines, or you could invest in a project to reduce packaging times, etc. etc. There's probably not a direct correlation between saving on securi

That wouldn't be the news headline, though. The customer would find out about the cost increase via an article titled something like "Amazon increases prices by up to 20%, are your favourite purchases affected?". I'm wit

I get what you're saying, but these are the ways that management finds the margins that allow you to receive cheap products on your doorstep in 2 days.

There's nothing technically novel here, this post feels like some kind of techno-proselytizing.

I’m struggling to understand what an LGBTQ identity is if it isn’t related to sexuality. The definition of a lesbian is a woman who has sexual preferences for women. If a woman doesn’t have sexual preferences for other women, but still like

Do you think it would be cheaper for these clients to build their applications on a cloud, rather than buying hardware? That’s not to say that they wouldn’t have optimization problems if they moved to the cloud. But I’m stuck wondering why

Not in my opinion, but some advertisers clearly think so. And there are a LOT of Americans that believe it's bad to talk about too.

There's another side to this though. LGBTQ content is inherently about sexuality, how is youtube supposed to deteremine when you're talking about sexuality for the sake of social progress vs. talking about sexuality for the sake o

The solution is regulation. We should have a rule along the lines of "you can only be charged once for a service". Meaning, if you charge me for a car rental and I have successfully paid, then that's it. You can't then h

This is gross, shut this shit down now. There's no honest use for this. The only people who'll use it are psychopaths, we don't need to empower them, especially when it's as cheap as $50.

I didn’t insinuate that? All I said was that a gay couple might not want to hold hands in public in Alabama. Wikipedia has my back: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Alabama

But that’s why they called “guidelines” and not “rules”. It’s just a guideline for the local moderator to make a decision on enforcing, it’s not a rule.

by jbob2000 7y ago
It’s not illegal for gay men to hold hands in Alabama either, but you’d be wise to avoid that activity if you went there. That’s why these are guidelines - because the local community is known to be touchy about these things.
