Yes, that is what I was talking about. They were late creating a mobile presence for Facebook. Then of course, Instagram and WhatsApp were both acquisitions. Definitely good acquisitions, but pretty obvious ones. They luckily had plenty of

My grandmother had 10 siblings. They grew up farming and they picked cotton every summer. Of the 11 siblings, I believe 8 of them have parkinsons. They have long thought exposure to whatever pesticides were used on the cotton may have cause

You certainly shouldn't donate blood in unsanitary conditions and while you are ill and weakened from some other sickness. Which is the conditions under which bloodletting usually occured in the past.

It's easy to look like a visionary leader when people will rewrite history for you. Facebook was famously late to mobile and almost missed the boat. Luckily, they had the resources to plow into catching up around 2012.

Our economy can handle a lot more people making more money. It just can't handle it suddenly. Especially during and right after a global economic shutdown. Companies are still catching up with supply. Lots of chemicals and other base m

Still not land voting. Seeing as RI gets the same number of votes as AK. And both senate candidates are selected by popular vote in the state, so even if most of the state is red, big blue cities can swing the vote.

Was the new code newer than 2021? Supposedly gpt 3.5 and lower have limited training data past 2021.

Interesting. Although it's the non-isolated converters that keep getting blown out from spikes. Luckily, they seem to die without blowing up my MCUs.

Yes, I have found that in many areas, you can match or beat the 3rd party price by going direct. Especially if you have any additional discounts like AAA. But quite a few highly competitive areas like las Vegas, you can save 25-50% by going

No, I used the term yield correctly. $1 in the sp 500 over that time period would have increased to $3.50. Or a yield of $2.50 while maintaining the underlying asset of $1. As for it being a muni bond, the risk is low but still there. Munic

Just the market rate of return. If your money could have done better in an index fund, you've lost.

I don't think it is "urban living" so much as just modern living. While people in rural and suburban areas are more likely to have some form of exposure to locally grown produce, they still for the most part live in the same

The markets did more than 12% annual returns for that decade.

Investors would consider $0.50 return on $1 over 10 years to be a loss. Money isn't free and that same dollar invested in an sp 500 index fund would have yielded $2.50 for that same time period.

I use hotwire maybe a few times a year and it has happened twice to me that the hotel they claimed was booked did not have the reservation. Most 3rd party booking sites don't have real time access to inventory, so if you book close to

The standard practice for store liquidation is to raise all prices to full MSRP, then start out with a 20% or so storewide discount. Then you start discounting incrementally as products sell off.

Have the feds been enforcing anything in states that have not made marijuana legal? It seems that maybe only state level and below authorities are enforcing them. There are sometimes cases where laws that go unenforced for a long time can e

I have the same problem. I use Google home for voice interface to home assistant. I switched from Alexa a few years ago because Google had more open options for integration. But the Google home has gotten much slower in response time. I sti

I have recently found that converting higher DC voltage (48v or higher) down to 5v is rather difficult. Or at least there are not many isolated options on the market. I have a diy home battery system that runs on 48v and it has been very di

So for the out of date code, did you ask it to rewrite it following the more modern version of the API/SDK? It gives me incorrect stuff all the time, but I find that once you are in the correct ballpark for an answer, it just takes som

I don't think this is necessarily the case anymore. The bing implementation of chatgpt has a toggle for how cautious it should be with getting things wrong. I was working on a very niche issue today and asked it what a certain pin was

From what I can gather in one of the linked rule documents, they may not have written the specific rule for determining typical speed yet. It appears to have several comment suggestions and requests additional comment.

This is such a welcome requirement in my book. Especially the requirement to include upload speeds. One of the providers in my area (spectrum) never shows the upload speed anywhere on any main page. It is buried deep in very fine print with

At least as far as the Disney theme park division, it seems like they are actively catering to the adult crowd. These days, the theme parks seem to be mostly adults.

Usually, the notices I have seen actually say "only 1 ticket remaining at this price". Which they can technically make true by simply setting their pricing algorithm to sell the next ticket for a penny more or a penny less.
