It's crazy that people think they should get away with these. I've seen some examples where basic things like the number of windows or where the garage and driveway are was totally misrepresented - surely they'd at least look

Which is a fair discount, but it should be like "15 a month, 120 if you get a year up front" right?

I mean culturally we're used to it, but it seems really easy to test for and therefore fine businesses doing it in NYC? Just go ring up some purchase and see if they add a tax onto the listed price, and if they do report it.

I think for the stretch of time where a leap second is smeared, the epoch second would drift by a tiny fraction for each second or etc? So you'd have some chunk of UTC time where each second lasts something like 1.0005 epoch seconds, m

Can you sell or lend gog games, though? You can transfer the files obviously but if a steam game comes with no drm (which is pretty common for indies) you can do the same thing. GOG nicely requires everyone on their platform to do this but

It would be impressive as a labor of love, right? Most memorable gimmick sites from the early 2000s were like that.

I've always wondered why I don't see passed on savings for the "amazon day" thing. It's gotta be way better for their logistics to deliver bulk orders, or pick a standardized delivery day for each neighborhood or so

What kind of jobs? Say we get real time translation between various languages. What will I do?

they need a day job to pay the bills then, which does cut down on the scope of videos you can make if we could have less working hours or cheaper rent or less expensive bills more people could do hobby stuff again ofc. but right now is tric

You can resell game key cards, at least? They seem better than digital copies to me. And first party games are still on cartridge for the most part.

For the ps6, they were already done with design and they'd need to let that go to waste to not put it out. I doubt it'll have many exclusives though - it's probably a ps5 pro pro thing. But I'm also not sure they can sel

The next console is going to cost at least 1000 dollars, right? There's simply no way to sell hardware at 300 million units now. So I think their strategy is to abandon the mass market and sell to price unconscious consumers who will a

What else tracks inflation like that? Do movies?

but their stated reasoning is that they do open PRs to train up new contributors and eventually get them into the community where they'll be more trusted. That doesn't suggest a hardline stance against the tools to me necessarily

If the AI tools are that effective, the maintainers can just use them themselves? That way they would have the full oversight on how it's done. PRs with just the results and final code doesn't seem better even if we assume ai codi

If you want to increase endurance for running I think the general suggestion is to hit the track and do running? Get your mile time down or similar. In my personal experience I've found strength training better for losing weight than j

We've been doing that for a while too - it was Michelle Obama's whole thing, for example? It could definitely use more support, but it doesn't do a ton if the structure of people's lives is being changed by other factors

From the last time I looked at studies on basically any diet, I think prescribing people drugs for life probably lasts longer. Do you have any longitudinal studies of people making lifestyle changes for 10+ years to keep off weight?
292.
by nemomarx 4mo ago
Diets also don't stick when you discontinue them. It would be an incredible advancement if we figured out a reliable and replicatable way to just eat less food, but until then I think a drug that makes you do that is pretty decent.

Yeah the wording is a little broad, but the UK would call that law enforcement too. Depends on your state and laws and you can look around at how that's going - maybe you'll have brought a first aid kit to the wrong event or helpe

by nemomarx 4mo ago
There's two strong incentives - deanonymization for law enforcement is pretty useful so that's one. You want to make it easier to subpoena information about posters for various reasons, access to stores on different dates etc. Lot

is no longer being able to sell it to half of your market good, financially?

Apparently their long term contracts ran out in January and suppliers are asking for quarter to quarter prices now. No one's really big enough to get stable pricing on memory except ai firms and Nvidia.

As you say, it's doubtful governments want it to be private. So we should expect them to not use these kind of elegant solutions, and the public is generally not sophisticated enough to distinguish between the options already.

ai generated images and art still seem to look cheap or untasteful to a lot of viewers, so it can't be that easy to train people on fixing that.

the shape is in the public domain though? it would be like trying to patent a rounded rectangle, it's inherently silly
