> based on their behavior, they don't care. Personally I see it as "based on their behavior, they don't understand " We also need far more computer/tech literacy in the education system and populace.

IMO here's some better solutions. 1. Blend FCC action with right to repair -- Require device makers to provide software patch utilities to the public, and open source the code after a period of time. 2. Rather than regulate manufacture

Well, that piece is pretty easy to conclude. They acquired it for essentially nothing.

Perhaps, but the posted does not say that...

The article is scant on details, so its unclear what the money would be used for... But why should the Government get a $605M payday for appropriating privately held assets? That sets up a dark conflict of interest.

there used to be a $10/GB overage fee on some plans. That would occasionally bump me into "cheaper on other carriers" range.

perhaps long forgotten, but PC parts sellers (ones who'd buy lots and then break bulk to consumers) used to charge 3% more than advertised price for CC transactions. iirc that was often the entirety, or more, of their margin.

Idk if it applies in this specific case, but usually when my package is delivered there is a photo from the carrier. Would that not be evidence?

Whats to stop a bank offering an account that you only put enough money in so they cannot draw more than you have? Kind of like Capital One's virtual card numbers which allow you to have a throwaway number per account.

I actually agree with this change, creditcards in the 2020s is just racketeering. Why? Because afaik almost all transactions are digital now, and they charge an absurd rake for every transaction they process. A 3% transaction fee seems like

Mint mobile has been 100% good to me over the years, save for the rare surprising lack of network (I found a spot in the middle of a city that I get 0 coverage shockingly). I'd recommend them to everyone, but they've been sold to

This is a fail on the policing. A report of an alleged crime should always be marked. Of course they don't want to do their job, or collect statistics that might show they're not doing their job. Also, whatever happened to the &#x

I dont think user sessions matters as much. The market value of chatgpt is going to be a product of users * how often they use it * how much value it provides. If they lose all the people trying to write poetry and retain all the expensive

You may not like Mongo, but it's had this feature for a long time. https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/gridfs/ Title maybe needs to say "Xata now can store..." ?

Nice attempt. Canadian, former resident of Canada (for decades), and lately in the USA on a visa. Plenty of connections and family in Canada who can vouch first hand for what I'm saying, both as patients and as care providers.

This. Which is why US averages are so bad, on average folks have shitty insurance and thus healthcare. But if you purchase, or negotiate excellent coverage you can get excellent care. (You still have to do some research to find the best pro

Canadian chiming in here. Sorry, but it's just not true of at least Canada that the single payer&provider system is working or working well. We get better _average_ outcomes because we do some preventative work, but if you're

We simply need a sort of statute of limitations for B2C transactions. - Your employer can incorrectly pay you for a long time and then demand the money back. - A hospital bill can come (afaik) anytime in the future - You can dispute charges

afaik Its not normal in the statistics sense of the word, most people are falling in a tightly centered distribution. But I'm not going to debate here that it's a moral choice, or that you're somehow wrong by being one or mor

I really enjoy a lot of Tom Bilyeu's content, but I've noticed he seems to lack a filter for great ideas from charlatans. And in some regards fair enough, it can be hard, but he's also building a brand and company around some

It's an interesting intersection because those rights produce an income stream that can be evaluated like a bond.

Yeah this. Let them know what you're using them for and they'll tune the NRR and frequencies for your use case.

It's hard to tell if these studies show that people want fewer children, or if people want fewer children as they age (ie their ideal number declines). It would be also really interesting to see if this is a form of goal post shifting

I likely am far less neurotic than you, but for me I've found reading fiction really helps to clear out the thoughts that are keeping me awake.
