They said “ride sharing/shuttle” option. You might want to get your knees checked out, they seem to be jerking a little too easily.

They’re announcing that they’re building an offering that suits business needs (provide vouchers to employees, track spending, etc.) and giving businesses the opportunity to sign up to be notified when it’s available. Pretty straightforward

> AI and technology is already replacing jobs I don’t think this is true. I think CEOs are replacing people on the assumption that AI will be able to replace their jobs. But I don’t think AIs are able to replace any jobs other than h

Stock price isn’t necessarily equivalent to how well the company is doing, though. I’d be more interested in hearing revenue and profit. (Not asking you to go dig that up, just making the point that the market can be irrational.)

I imagine the culture of HRLF trainers affects things. Maybe there’s disproportionally more of them from Oz/NZ, as native English-speaking countries with possibly lower wages?

Didn’t you post the exact same thing a few days ago? What has changed?

Terrible slop of an article that doesn’t say a single thing about why this new technology (brake-by-wire with a touch-sensitive pad) is better than existing approaches, other than it being “more sensitive.”

That rubric only applies when the users aren’t actively and maliciously sabotaging the system, which privacy-subverting websites absolutely are. (And everyone else is cargo-cutting their behavior.)

All health insurance plans in the US are private-market.* You may be confusing ACA-compliant plans (private insurance that's allowed to be listed on healthcare.gov and is eligible for subsidies) with non-ACA-compliant plans (not allowe

As @dragonwriter said, the HSA doesn't protect you against ruin, the linked high-deductible insurance does. You use the HSA for your ordinary medical expenses and get a nice tax discount from it. The HSA is also acts as a retirement in

Insurance has always been about groups of people banding together to soften emergencies. Prior to the ACA, the groups were people with the same employer, and getting insurance as an individual was prohibitively expensive and had ridiculous

A better option than going cash is a HSA through the government marketplace. It will give you tax deductions on your savings, you’ll end up paying almost everything out of pocket (same as cash), but you’ll be protected against total ruin if

If you’re a CTO who can no longer program, the solution isn’t to use AI to program again; the solution is to hire people who can program. The question at hand is whether AI helps your developers, not whether it helps you. You’re the CTO. It

A criticism like yours can be found every time an essay like this reaches the HN front page. Not all writing is meant to inform, and some people have trouble understanding that.

There’s tradeoffs between privacy and convenience. Mozilla makes a particular set of tradeoffs, based on their judgment of what the average user will put up with; checklists like this allow you to make more aggressive tradeoffs.

This whataboutism that crops up every time someone says something negative about LLMs is not helpful. Yes, humans are imperfect. Yes, Google is imperfect. So what? The discussion at hand is about how LLMs are imperfect.

For people missing the irony here, the term “metaverse,” that Meta is named after, was coined by Neal Stephenson in his 1992 book “Snow Crash.” In the book, the metaverse is a VR version of the internet with an emphasis on accurate sword fi

It might be illegal here, too, for all I know. So is parking on the wrong side of the street, or blocking your own driveway. Some laws get ignored and no one cares.

If you like Chiang, Netflix has an adaptation of his work called “Pantheon” that’s very good. Animated, two seasons, about the rise of uploaded humans. I don’t know which of his works it’s based on, so can’t say how true it is to the origin
