I guess to take this one step further, if these extensions become ad platforms by themselves and replace ads that facebook puts in your feed w/ their own ads, what would happen? uBlock origin (basic) - blocks facebook tracking, does no

Curious - how do people who work cash jobs handle this or if your system flags them. I pay our cleaner say $100 in cash. Pretty sure they don't report that to the IRS or pay taxes on it. What happens if they deposit say 2-3k / mo

All the international signaling so far is that they're not willing to do anything about Chinese domestic issues. Other than a critical word (often not even that) at the UN, what have the EU / Russia / SE Asia / Arab stat

What does that mean concretely? Will earnings reports still be quarterly? I guess I'm trying to figure out why the exchange has to do anything here. There's plenty of investors and companies that think long term with BRK and its

Crux of it seems to be: > It asks a lot of the player, and takes a while to work it out. You have to play it once in order to understand what's going on. You have to be willing to spend time with it, and that’s not where most gamers

You just happen to agree with this one, so you find reasons to justify it like "exercising judgement". What if they exclude a company because of political ties to communist regimes? Or ESG concerns? To me neither of these is accep

Am I the only one that thinks this is fundamentally unfair? What's the point of having inclusion guidelines if you can just change them willy nilly to suit your own agenda? We need a more algorithmic index, not one ruled by one central

I think it might be a mix of job categories, not just SWE. Still lower than what I'd expect. https://www.levels.fyi/# exists but might be inflated a bit.

Incredible stuff! I'll need to check out some of the no-code tools again, the world has come a long way from WYSIWYG html tools.

For anyone who wants a good documentary about gene drives, bio hacking, crispr etc., the netflix series unnatural selection is a great watch. https://www.netflix.com/title/80208910

It's a fair point, not sure why there are downvotes. I still think it's extremely likely that the official numbers are bogus but you can't really accept the Telegram numbers as truth either.

Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent :) Imagine we're in '98 - you won't be right until '01. That's some super long dated puts. Easier to BTFD.

Ultimately price and (some tenuous definition of) value can diverge in the short term but over the long run they _will_ converge. Apple's in a short term bubble. That's not to say they aren't a great company in the long term

You can compare that with other big tech. It's not just ERP or Revenue growth, the stock is just in a bubble.

The funny thing is that you strive as hard as possible to minmax and break the game when you're playing an RPG - that's part of the joy of playing a game. Sure you need some STR but if you're playing a mage, keep maxing out t

Oh I do play a bunch of games. I have no problem enjoying strategy games like Civ, EU4 or base builders like RimWorld. Factorio is just too much like programming for me to find joy in it.

I find it kind of weird that programmers seem to like this game. I tried playing it for a bit and all I could think of was how much more efficient things would be if I could just write code instead of running around on a map to achieve the

Probably pushing it intentionally given the recent antitrust discussions. Worst case for them, they get banned from the store for a bit until they take that option down.

Is it simply a case of a Chinese private company poaching talent? Or is the chinese govt explicitly providing incentives to the aforementioned pvt company which they're using to poach employees? If it's the former, there's no

Did you read their argument at all? The macro bet is that all the money printing is devaluing fiat currencies. Store of value assets like Gold and BTC are rallying because of this. The USD I think buys 15% less EUR than it did pre-COVID. Si

Just wanted to say kudos for all the patience you've exhibited DIY'ing this. I agree that this process should in be a lot simpler but I wonder what the outcome would've been if you were willing to hire a broker and pay some b

Yes - the historical context was my point. Things are fine now, Spotify gets the same capabilities as Apple music, so there's no issue. The thing they (Spotify) are complaining about now with the EU antitrust case is the 30% gate keepi

That's because of iOS was never good at inter app communication (Android's version of intents) and that made Siri a worse experience for users and ultimately doomed it in the assistant wars. I don't think Apple management sat

I think we should at least first acknowledge that media outlets are by default competitors to and biased against tech platforms. They're not some neutral third parties passively reporting news / opinion as things unfold with old f

Google was going to invest in Jio and they were beaten to the punch by Facebook. There was some talk about investments in Airtel but no idea if that had any weight.

Remote telemetry configuration and collecting basically everything they can about the device isn't anything new really. I think mobile apps (especially on Android) have been doing that since the beginning of time. What's surprisin

Need some references then. Other than some ineffective immigration lobbying, I don't see them doing much. What laws were passed to help G? What regulations changed to favor them?

I think it's time for tech to flex it's political muscle a bit. We're talking about humongous corporations with billions of dollars in cash silently giving to both Republican and Democratic super PACs since forever and the on
