I wonder if they're going to license this to brands for heavily personalized advertisement. Imagine being able to see videos of yourself wearing clothes you're buying online before you actually place the order, instead of viewing

For the OP, if you are looking for a classic on "value investing," Benjamin Graham's "The Intelligent Investor" will lay it out. I invest broad index rather than value, but it's a good read.

You are assuming that each school shooting is in a separate district in the calculation. That is not necessarily the case, especially with some large school district serving many more students than a small rural district. But I agree with y

Yup, sometimes people joke that H-E-B is the 4th branch of the Texas government given how much they do during disasters. When food was going to go bad and payment terminals were having issues during the big 2021 winter power outage, picture

Plenty of other responses, but I just wanted to say that your conspiracy theory about a politician marrying her brother for a visa is a complete lie. This article traces the origin of the theory, outlines who has spread it (not surprising),

Job fairs are super underrated. When my spouse and I were a bit in flux years back for where we were going to live long-term, we ended up living in the city where we met which is very much not a tech hub - only a few big companies that hire

I completely agree. Hopefully it was just due to how quickly it got flagged and mods correct this. It's relevant in at least 2 ways to HN (AI governance, Meta/large tech corps)

I'm in my mid 30s and have definitely noticed a gap in perception between people in their early 20s who haven't experienced much of pre-2016 politics and the older folks. The younger folks are much less alarmed because they weren&

Here is an article about the topic: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/tracking-us-citizens... There's a 2011 study linked there but as others mentioned, hard to track without due process.

Yes. "No code" was the hot topic last decade. I think LLMs will make individual programmers more productive, but demand for software is very elastic. Medium-term (next 10-20 years), I think we'll just be producing more softwa

FWIW I had the wrong US state on my passport for a long time. Not sure how that happened but it didn't cause any issues traveling at all. I called the national passport line for advice about this when renewing, and they said to mail in

It's particularly nasty to me that he called out same-sex partners with adopted children. Why focus on families even if you are yourself homophobic?

I was just visiting El Paso. At one point, the air quality index was off the charts (above 500, the max value). At that point, it was considered hazardous to health for anybody. It felt strange, but all we could really do was stay indoors a

I think the French discussions of extending nuclear deterrence over Europe are meant to dissuade nuclear proliferation vis a vis Poland and maybe Germany. The US nuclear umbrella via the NATO alliance once served that purpose. Now, France i

My husband crochets, and the problem with most of the local yarn stores is that a lot of them cater to more "boutique" yarn. It's hard to find cheap, standard yarn in a variety of colors for him.
