Mines definitely are both unpleasant and bad for you. And as I mentioned in my comment above, so are meat packing plants.

I think you are imagining some suburban kid getting a job at the local burger joint serving up burgers with a smile. Few 13 year olds are suited for service of office work. You must view this in the context of the fact that Tyson, a fortune

It appears to exempt you if your gross revenue is less than $100m. So no Twitter but you can use Truth Social and Gab.

At least in the case of this law, your kids don't need an ID. They can't use the social media until adulthood.
515.
by jjeaff 4y ago
I don't see any reason they would need to create an id for children because the purpose of this law is to block all children under the age of 18 from using certain social media. You would only need an ID to prove that you are 18 or old

I think one tech founder stabbing another tech founder in the world's tech hub is definitely a tech related story.

As I said, I don't necessarily think that writing a book is a valid criteria, but people that do so are often used as expert sources in journalism or even court cases. It's not like you can get someone who has a phd in 4chan to in

Regardless of any "superficial" characteristic (I think many would argue that being Black in America in anything but superficial) what exactly do you think an optimal outcome is when selecting something like a judge? What is a hig

Don't do that. Don't diminish the work of someone simply because they are a woman. Even assuming that money was given as part of some diversity program, to imply that is the only reason she got an investment is to imply that there

Dedicated servers are way less of a headache than cloud in my experience. Unless you are talking about buying and building your own hardware, which is a completely separate thing and not generally recommended. You can lease dedicated server

So that phrase actually means something when you are dealing with real journalistic news organizations like NPR or NYT for example. I believe at the NYT, everything of consequence must be double sourced. And in the case of confidential sou

Whether it's valid or not, authoring a book on a particular subject usually qualifies someone as an expert on a subject. Especially if it is on an esoteric and modern subject like online socializing.

Those look like big numbers (and interestingly they seem to have not budged upward since prior to 2019). But one must understand that the book business, especially the textbook business deals with a lot of worthless books that you have to f

Yes, I had misremembered it. That does leave a mystery of why they are listening for inaudible frequency. I wonder if it might have to do with their plans of having devices that can connect to other connected devices when they aren't c

I was talking to a psychiatrist friend of mine about placebo effect and he told me that it definitely can make a big difference. But I asked him if he ever just gave placebo pills to patients and he said no because he felt that would be une

This might be surprising to some. But many people are simply not highly motivated by money. Sure, some amazing teachers simply can't stick with teaching because it doesn't pay enough, but a lot make it work. 10 years ago, at my un

I would. Better World Books has always rubbed me the wrong way with their advertising. They donate a tiny fraction of their profit to charity but their whole schtick makes it seem like they are a non-profit. Especially their "book dona

Billions of jobs with hours long time to complete seems like something no one would have the resources for.

It will be little solace for the 98% of employees that get laid of by AI to know that at least 2% if their co-workers remain employed. In other words, AI doesn't have to do anything perfectly to replace a large percentage of the workfo

USPS already has extremely good handwriting recognition tech. If a human is reading it, it's going to be a very difficult and unique case that the machine couldn't figure out.

I use the force-cors chrome extension. But I may be misunderstanding your use case.

That's on purpose. They created a specific inaudible frequency that the Alexa listens for which causes it to ignore the wake word. This is how they keep from annoying everyone and also blowing up their own servers if, for example, they

Just a few modifications and this could be made to allow people to forward telemarketers to it. Bonus points if they could make the voice a little more realistic and rotate/randomize the voice characteristics.

The markets are certainly too large for any one player to consistently change them. But there is probably a lot of group think going on.

I see no apology, but why do you seem to take offense at pointing out the existence of racism?

by jjeaff 4y ago
It's a particular incidence of racism by someone working in a system, but I wouldn't call it "systemic racism" because there is not a recurring, broad, historical problem of white people not being able to get welfare. In

I was going to comment that $7 seems far too deminimus to even raise an eyebrow and refusing to pay it as a media org is rather petty. But from the article, I now see that Twitter is charging $1,000/mo for organizations. Still not a hu

I get where they are coming from. The pundits and the public at large are not very good at digesting nuanced data. Just look at how much conspiracy the open VAERS database has fueled.
