I think if anything it points to the fallacy that not allowing the government to collect this type of data, but allowing corporations to collect it, ends up with the same result as allowing the government to collect this data itself. All we

That's a great point. I should probably clarify a bit. I was really talking about how frustrating the proximity of that failure I could not control was. In a larger or more stable organization, when a different department is failing of

I'm fairly certain Netflix just realizes that there is a very vocal group that is very active on social media about food and nutrition. Nutrition articles even here on HN bring out the most extreme and vocal commenters. They just under

I'm very curious to find out what may be in instacart's TOS here. Because at face value, and without hyperbole, this does look like it could be fraud. It seems unlikely that their legal team was not aware of potential issues here.

$3 is closer to the price for one off reviews. The overhead of getting the assignment, collecting payment and requirements would make it so you wouldn't have time to do that many. For people who pump out 25-100 reviews at a time you ar

I understand your thinking and do agree somewhat. That said, Sam Altman is a bit of a special case. To begin with, in this article he goes out of his way on several occasions to clarify that there are significant tradeoffs. I enjoy his writ

Right, those are brief disruptions that cause no significant variation in total transit times. Much like the idea that slower drivers cause more accidents, this is based on other drivers experiencing discomfort and having to be more careful

Braking or a quick lane change causing traffic jams is a well known and refuted myth. Similar to the idea that driving slower on the highway is more dangerous. We have massive amounts of data on both of those. I wouldn't put too much v
