Honestly, the most amazing thing I did with logs was learn how to do subtraction. Any time you have multiple instances of a thing and only some of them are bad, you can easily find the problem (if anyone bothered to log it) by performing ba

Bro, you're selling drugs on a "for science only!!!!" basis that is purely a fig leaf. IDK the controlled substance laws around Psilocybin but this is definitely a gray area at least.

> pizza is extremely cheap to produce with markup that can be in excess of 1000%. This is true, and more: pizza is well suited to delivery versus other foods. For example, french fries age quickly, becoming unappealing in 10 minutes[1].

Well, the only company mentioned by name is eBay, which was used as a fence for 300k in stolen goods by a single couple. So you could maybe make a case that Amazon makes it easier for retail theft, but you also have to seemingly ban all onl

I believe the idea is to extract wikipedia-like data from first sources. So slang terms like weed won't pass muster on their demo, since nobody publishes papers on "the effects of weed on the human body" -- they use terms lik

Note that this is like, how every recession works -- we lay off people, and productivity spikes. The fact that we did the same thing during a government imposed recession shouldn't be surprising at all.

The big deal is that Tesla didnt buy Twitter, Musk did. Based on the Tesla engineers doing due dilligence on a non-Telsa acquisition seems like a conflict of interest.
