Given there's a focus on basic data structures it seems like a good fit.

> During the pandemic consumer spending moved online. I keep hearing this repeated as canon but is this quantified somehow? Did we really see a spike long enough for hiring sprees? And did it last until ... when? A few months ago? It see

See who could complain about this it sounds incredibly valuable.

The argument is that the explanation is disingenuous. Which, I get that it's corporate speak, but when nobody buys it why bother with the lie?

Well, inflation is demonstrably transitory. But the impact to these companies is, in general, less about inflation and more about free money.

> During covid the demand for online services went way up, media consumption, remote work and study. Has this been quantified? And on the downslope too?

I think this is likely, but more because it becomes a competitive gold rush once one agent makes moves like this. The idea that the pandemic would create some new world never really made any sense for a global rampup anyway.

Well that oughta clear up the reputation.

It seems they're implying the opposite but I can see how it would be read as "good" in this context.

We need to somehow get "just trolling" as a legal loophole in our justice system.

"Less fraud than Theranos" probably isn't the accolade you hang on the mantle.

It's possible but not really feasible to hand-curate biased input data at the scale that's being used currently. Maybe at some point an LLM itself can be used to cull training data of undesired input.

An unreliable system is often worse than a non-existent one.

Sure. But remember when the API went from "build something cool with our data!" to "build something cool with a limited set of data" to "pay us a ton of money for full data" to "pay us a ton of money for f

What? Put first location in navigation. Do sales pitch. Get back in car, put next location in navigation, etc. You can set the whole thing up in advance in Google Maps. This solves a problem that was already solved.

There have been a lot of tests and studies about this in the past and they generally confirm what would be self evident.

Well phones typically have physical buttons for things you want to do quickly (volume rocker, power, camera shutter, home (sometimes) etc.) when you may not be expected to be looking at the phone. They seem to understand the split. A driver

Cheating used to be super common to focus on eccentric for a lot of exercises but it seems like it fell out of favor since I first started lifting. There's also chains and other equipment to help in this regard but I've found that

A good percentage of the producer digital pianos are just the flat keyboard and controls housed in a structure meant to look like a traditional piano. The new Casio, for example, looks relatively modern and fits like furniture, but you coul

I think people can complain about the less obvious stuff. The opt-out default is just ... people kind of throw their hands up at this point.

by nkozyra 4y ago
The most egregious part is opt out by default, obviously. That this has become a standard that doesn't shock you should register as an issue itself.

I thought I would, because I'd love to have an electric vehicle and it seemed like Tesla was going to rewrite what we think of cars. They weren't especially flashy outside but looked good enough. Then I got in one. Hmm, this looks
