Interesting that one of the items that they iPhone can’t replace is the “fuzz buster”, a radar detector Arguably that’s also covered by Waze or any other speed trap app But the dystopian take is that the iPhone gave away far more to the sur

Claude tried to explain the meme but without the horizontal bar, it was not 4-panel. It contradicted itself explaining the dots. It makes no sense: • : (one person standing) • :| (two people, one standing, one lying down) • :| (two people s

Comment culture died for me in a different way. I was browsing some thread and someone referenced a meme typed out as :.|:; The comment had a few replies who recognized the meme. I had no idea what it meant so I asked Claude Well the AI kne

As always, in business, if the penalty for breaking the law is less than the benefit you get out of the violation, then you have to go for it. Or your competitors will. It’s the cost of doing business.

by mingus88 1y ago
Business has always been this way. It’s the nature of power. It just so happens when you have a fragile ego in power, people seeking power will naturally play to that ego for a leg up. We knew before 2015 that he was easy to manipulate. Eas

$30/mo seems pretty steep for backups. How much storage are you talking about, and what tier? All of the music I purchased from bleep and bandcamp is still available to download again, and the CDs I rip from the used book stores are in

This is often the case where one side is an expert at contracts and business and the other side is an artist. I went to a show recently and the band was performing old material and they stopped to make a big deal about how they finally won

I’m not sure about this accounting. I know some artists with very successful songs and they made nothing substantial from millions of streams Could it be that the streaming platform pays 0.005 which then gets divided amongst the whole band,

It’s worth pointing out that there will always be consequences, regardless of the legality. Insulting a C-level exec is tantamount to a professional suicide note.

It’s important to know that Andruil is culturally very similar to Palantir and is run by many ex-Palantir folk. My experience with the latter is very outdated but assuming Andruil is at a similar phase of growth as Palantir was a decade ago

Ok. I’m talking about the concerted effort to kill trains and public transit by the auto/oil industry. LA was beautiful in the 20s. Could have been a world class metropolis instead of a sprawling hellscape of seven lane interstates whe

Wasn’t it always just money laundering? Need to turn a million dollars of shady money into legit profit? Mint an NFT or coin and set a ridiculous price on it. Make the transactions on an anonymous ledger. Sell it to yourself. I mean, come o

The boomer generation is also well known as the “me” generation, so it’s something they should expect, to be quite honest. They are the ones who raised us.

When I learned that AI was trained off of internet posts, and then LLMs were the new bots making internet posts, it immediately made me think that the entire internet would degrade like a jpeg that you keep compressing and sending around I

I’ll bet call center workloads stick. That whole industry is literally just a sweatshop for English language speakers who just follow scripts (prompts) and try to keep customers happy. Seeing as how so many people volunteer to make meaningf

I can only speak to my social circle but initially LLMs were a lot of fun. Like my kids playing with Photo Booth filters on a new device. I don’t think the social reaction was there the whole time. It feels more like we have been playing ar

I disagree. My parents generation took photos on point and shoot cameras. They waited a week or longer to get them developed, never really knowing what they took. These photos ended up stuck to pages in an album to be brought out occasional

Supplements, which by the way do not need any FDA approval or need to verify their claims to be sold. Isn’t it a coincidence that the loudest voices against vaccines also earned their wealth peddling supplements on their shows? https:&#x2F

And nobody is eating vaccines. You might be wondering what kind of nonsense I am spouting off. I’m wondering the same thing about these anti-vax arguments.

It’s the same story all along the west coast of the U.S. There are high CoL areas with many rentals where up until 10 years ago the climate has been mild all summer. Seattle, Portland, SF, down to LA. Landlords have no desire to update thei

Every serious place I’ve worked at wants to put MDM on all devices with corp data on it. So one you leave, try can wipe all the apps with their data on it And that’s fair. But I don’t want that on my personal devices. It’s literal spyware.

I do, daily. After work, I put my work phone away. I have been in this industry for over a decade and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I will never let an employer steal time away from my family again. Especially now that they want us all

Do you really think so? There have been privacy focused alternatives to Gmail since Gmail was invented and it didn’t stop everyone from letting Google index every single thing they sent or received. Time and time again we have seen privacy

It goes much further than 2010’s mistakes. Brazil arrested Bolsanaro for the same scheme Trump pulled. Imagine a world where we held people accountable for crimes in the US. Garland did nothing.

Adam Walsh was 7yo and abducted from a Sears. His parents left him to play Atari while they shopped. They made a movie about it in 1983. Politicians introduced new laws around it. His father John Walsh went on to host Americas Most Wanted o
