That governments struggle with rounding and maths isn't a justification for arguing 1% of GDP doesn't matter. It's a vast sum of money. In the UK's case getting an extra 1% of GDP for free was a no brainer. Its economy h

Yeah, but the question is whether your demand for Claude Code would be as high as it is, if Anthropic were charging enough to cover their costs. Not this fake "the model is profitable if you ignore training the next model" stuff b

By "not good enough" you mean "not motivated enough" which boils down to what the OP said. It's not a big problem in reality for most people.

Wikipedia's bias is the result of a deliberate long term campaign to make it biased. It's not "mistakes".

They don't inspect every return - that would make the already ropey economics of allowing returns very unviable - and it's often hard to detect return fraud because the fraudsters are returning an object that's nearly the sam

You don't know they sold their account to a fraudster. You only know that the delivery address changed. That's a very weak signal.

Yes but so what? All that proves is the account is aged. It doesn't prove it's not been taken over or sold. People move pretty regularly or order things for friends/family, a change of address doesn't mean anything.

Amazon is in a hard spot with this stuff. They have massive problems with refund fraud, where people buy things and returning fake or used items in the box. Asking for ID is one way they try to spot people who are engaged in this activity r

There is huge bias to the left. Wikipedia outright bans right wing sources from being used as citations, including non-US sources like the Daily Mail, so it's not true that it's something to do with US bias. This isn't due to

Does that extend to the staff or do you just have some weird hangup about collective groups? Because you know NGOs often pay their CEOs huge salaries, well beyond what they need to survive. It's all profit.
