Not sure why the dumb money keeps playing. If you're not the insider the person you're trading against is.

There's no inherent reason to restrict the number of TLDs. The best way to combat rent seeking from registries is to allow any organization that has the technical capability to operate a registry.

Politics in the US is a $11 trillion per year business. Money is inherent.

Don't worry, the excessive fee even when you're not using it aka "Base Services Charge" is coming to electricity as well.

The audio engineers are monitoring multiple mics (for an event of this magnitude probably dozens) and increasing or decreasing volume on them in real time for the mix that goes on the air. Standard for any sports broadcast.

They already do this, listen to the radio at off hours and there will be many job ads with instructions to apply via postal mail. Of course the reason isn't to deter LLMs it's to deter Americans so the employer can claim no Americ

Then doesn't it make more sense for the people who prefer living among a high fertility rate to move to the places where there's a high fertility rate? Why should people who don't have that preference have to endure mass migr

Prior to SO we had Usenet, mailing lists, and IRC. They weren't so bad before spammers found them.

Another illustration of how absurd current IP laws are. A company has exclusive rights to a character created 87 years ago by a guy who died 50 years ago.

We already have more IP than any human could ever consume. Why do we need to incentivize anything? Those who are motivated by the creation itself will continue to create. Those who are motivated by the possibility of extracting rent may cre

Even without insider trading it's a negative-sum game. Every dollar won is a dollar lost, and the platform takes a cut. Like all negative-sum games you should only participate if it's purely for entertainment or you have a clearly

Auto manufacturing is low margin and capital intensive. BYD is valued as an auto manufacturer. Tesla is not. Even all of that aside, the idea that foreign investors will be allowed to meaningfully participate in the upside of Chinese compan

The Europe of today is the result of 400 years of brain drain. It would take generations to reverse the effects, if anyone even wanted to.

It's more about who you defrauded. Bernie Madoff died in prison because he defrauded other rich people.

The value of YouTube for AI isn't making AI videos, it's that it's an incredibly rich source for humanity's current knowledge in one place. All of the tutorials, lectures, news reports, etc. are great for training models

Any time a forward-looking statement is given in an investment context it has a safe harbor caveat attached about how it could be wrong. Companies miss revenue projections all of the time. That's not fraud.

A government official who created and implemented government censorship regulation is a little bit more than "just engaging in speech". That's like saying Deng Xiaoping was "just directing traffic" when the tanks ro

Happens with professional sports teams all of the time. I guess the difference is with professional sports the criteria for receiving the monster pay packages is a bit more objective.

American football teams and the military regularly charter that size aircraft to move personnel. The Arizona Cardinals own five 777s. The New England Patriots own two 767s. In addition to flying cargo, Atlas Air does passenger charter with

There isn't a cargo conversion available for the 777-200 or 777-200ER. But at the right price they could probably find some buyers in the VIP and charter markets.

The article doesn’t say where the Home Depot token was published. Almost certainly not on GitHub or it would have been invalidated. But AFAIK GitHub doesn’t crawl other sites looking for GitHub tokens. I suppose Microsoft could provide GitH

How about these: - CISOs aren’t actually officers of the company and are typically 2-3 levels below the actual officers - CISOs only exist to have someone to deflect blame onto after the inevitable breach - If a company actually cared about

Where else would the CI service for a Microsoft product be invented? NIH is a weird insult in this context. If Microsoft had instead acquired a CI service you’d be complaining about how they’re reducing competition.
