I think your parent took the first half of the page at face value, rather then treating it as an example of a useful type of prompt.

Wouldn't Google love it if paying became illegal for everyone? After all, if nobody could pay Apple for placement, Apple would probably choose Google, and Google would save $20 billion per year.

It's 1.8% of the median. Why are you assuming the tax credits were 0%?

You are not surprised, yet your explanation is entirely about indirect effects, even though the cause is removal of tax credits and that $1400 EIP checks were sent out in 2021 but not 2022.

I think what you are describing is how most people use Google Photos, or perhaps Dropbox or iCloud, and I think this is the main way people share photos.

You'd set up the server so that it's okay if it gets exploited. For example, maybe its only job is decoding images.

If the were no lanes and everyone was just driving in a huge field with no brakes, your analogy would make more sense. When there's only a few cars nobody would have to touch the steering wheel, but as the number of cars increases it g

I think maybe you don't understand that they don't have enough GPUs to do this, and money can't buy enough GPUs to do it.

Each boot updates your empirical distribution. As a trivial example, if you have booted a version 9999 times with no hanging, a later version will likely give you more information per boot.

There were only 5 MDs and 6 ACs. How confident can we be that they are measuring the effects of the groups, and not just the individuals? For example, you might get the same result of you compare one group of 5 MDs against another group of

I think this is a Theranos reference that went over everyone's heads. Theranos were using Siemens machines while pretending to use their own technology. Obviously Tesla is not doing anything like this, and GP's point is that they

Many banks these days have zero commission brokerage accounts, in which you can hold T-bills or money market funds. Not a lot of reasons to use a "savings" account.

You can change jobs while on H-1B (did it several times myself). There's certainly no lack of H-1B employees at these companies, but I don't know how many are hired directly from abroad.

Prepayment penalties are illegal after three years so there's no reason you would pay only interest for 10 years. If you can get a better loan, you can pay all the principal instantly and no more interest.

I just love this quote from Sid Verma: "A lot of Americans are bragging that in their country they can get a fixed mortgage for 30 years. But it's worth remembering that for cultural and historic reasons, a lot of Europeans choose
