I think you’re right about the relative scale of the fine, but theres a part of me that believes the companies will try to comply with the law, similar to how pornhub is blocked in many US states. They could easily ignore the regulation but

So let’s say we’ve got 28 possible characters (alphabet + period + space), you have a 1/28 chance of getting the first character right. So it follows that a string of length n is (1/28)^n because you have to hit each character cor

idk man, you ask a good question. I think the idea has to do with the saddle you put on the invisible horse that is the game’s problem. Factorio has several complex saddles you must master to tame the beast. In factorio, you can get progres

It makes sense to me. The number of people who actually create useful open source software is so vanishingly small compared to the number of people who use OSS, it seems obvious that we should optimize for their time, not the other way arou

Beyond rude people making rude comments, I imagine the channel gets lots of bot spam, especially crypto scams, given the content’s proximity to the space.

You wouldn’t go wrong with electrical engineering if this is the stuff you like. However, I think most engineering and engineering-adjacent disciplines (basically STEM) will give you a similar set of tools to approach any problem. If what y

This is one of those “left hand doesn’t talk to the right” situations. Delta has an arm of the company that only deals in disputes and has another arm that does check in and routine services. I think the manager did a good job here - I high

Most of weight loss actually happens in the kitchen, not the gym. A candy bar is roughly equivalent to a 20 minute run, in terms of Calories. Weight loss drugs surpress appetite urges. Even if you got super fit on the drug, without long ter

I think cold calling works decently for a certain subset of business people. There are folks out there that have genuine needs that salespeople can meet. At my last job, I didn't have authority to buy nor any real interest in the risk

Scam is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, no? If by scam, you mean that a large volume of the “work” enabled by these tools is not productive to society, then fine, I think what you say follows. However, there’s a lot of good work that is

Even if everything was released how you described, what good would that really do for an individual without access to heaps of compute? Functionally there seems to be no difference between open weights and open compute because nobody could

I'm not exactly sure how it all plays out, but if a company claims to not be able to pay, the lawyers will "pierce the corporate veil." Essentially they will ask for an ownership diagram and keep working their way up to the u

I would say yes, but realistically all large enough companies purchase adequate insurance for known categories like property and casualty. So this particular claim probably isn't making waves, but there have been claims in the past. Fo

You know, it's funny you mention Warren Buffet. I asked the Berkshire Hathaway guys the same thing when I first started as a broker! Turns out they can't go asking Mr. Buffet for money in case they run out. He expects them to run

This is a great question with a lot of interesting nuance! I don't have deep expertise in maritime insurance but I do know enough to be dangerous. Let's just look at the boat insurance, because the bridge and the cargo all probabl

What you are describing is true, but there is a lot of nuance to how reinsurance plays out in large insurance policy towers. If you build a stack of insurance policies that work together to create a large single policy limit, you typically

Yes - this is great additional information. Here's some additional context around the article. Lloyd's of London is the original insurance company. They work in a syndicate structure, where the various other commercial insurance c

As a former property insurance broker whose clients had big claims ($100Mish) and worked around people who handled the real big claims ($1B+), I can't really tell you with any specificity of how this will play out. All I know is that i

Hi - I had similar experiences to you, but an old boss pulled me aside explained everything. For context, I was not doing great at work, I was missing deadlines, would get accounts confused, etc. While I was getting chewed out, he rattled o

I don’t work at Amazon nor am I an accountant, but likely your intuition is correct. There’s this managerial accounting strategy called activity based costing (ABC) where you can better map costs (ie real money spent on stuff) to the compan

I highly doubt this is the case. The guy has plenty of money, power and clout. There’s really no more for him to gain in those departments. It’s more likely he fears AGI will put humanity into a truly dystopian future if monopolized by a co

I think that balance of power has shifted from the artists to consumers which is driving down direct artist pay. I’ve still got the same amount of time each day to listen to music before streaming services existed, but now I’m afforded so m

To be fair, consumers mostly don’t want to pay artists much money either. The consumers who do want to pay have plenty of avenues to directly support their favorite artists. Spotify is a music distribution tool that modern artists use to le

Make sure to consult a doctor. I wouldn’t trust what random people on the internet say. With that being said, the first thing the doc will ask is what you hope to gain from TRT. Often the answer to that question is a mix of diet/exerci

I used to do workers comp insurance (which covers against the injuries in the article) and 600 injuries over almost 10 years sounds relatively in line with my expectations of a construction/prototyping firm. It sounds like the journali

One thing to keep in mind - if you accidentally run up a bill because of a mistake, there’s a good chance you can reach out to support and they will credit your account. $5k may be a lot to an individual, but the cloud provider’s costs for

I built a similar system for one of my old insurance clients. Every 3 months we would send an updated list of what we wanted the insurance company to cover. This batching worked great because changes came in daily and without it we would ha

Overwatch had a feature where you could avoid players, but a top sniper was avoided by enough top players that he could never find a match. The matchmaking system could never find him a match because almost all potential matches had at leas
