What’s special about pi? That’s just a 3x multiplier, seems more appropriate it should be an exponential fine increase to strongly deter repeat fines.

Ultimately advertisers want a return on their spend and it's a closely watched metric for marketers. Them continuing to spend is indicative that there's growing value in ads, ie bots/ai agents cannot be the reason for their g

Maybe or investors also know that Meta recently started a dividend and the stock moved up, and they see the same play here and hope for the same results. I don't think the market move is much deeper for most investors.

Your comment does make me think that really the only acceptable voice to voice in a company like Google is to be a democrat. But I bet a bunch are actually Republican and want lower taxes for the wealthy (of which Googlers benefit some) but

Even if it is in her interest to not deal with Ticketmaster, her business is performing life music. She as her team aren't trying to create work for themselves to screw TM, they want to do what they do. Imagine trying to set up logisti

That doesn't preclude a "fixed percentage" in my reading. It could be either a fixed percentage or dollar amount.

Wfh sure seems like a negative in terms of measured economic activity - less gas buying, fewer coffee and lunch purchases and happy hours, and or course depressed commerical real estate, all leading to lower tax in take. Happy to see the po

While agreed the chances are still low, if you joined Tesla or Nvidia in the last 10 years and especially before 2020, you very well and likely are rich if you're still working at either and kept all your stock. Hell if you joined Face

Is your belief what makes a McDonald's a McDonald's just its ice cream machine, an d that's its unique selling point compared to its peers?

by sahila 3y ago
You’re making it out to be far simpler than reality. McDonald’s is more than just an ice cream place, they sell Big Macs, fries, a clean place with wifi, and cheap coffee. It would have to be the sum of those worse off than a competitor. A

Some of these seem a bit far-fetched and out of the norm. Not knowing your manager - do you even know what team you're on? Engineering culture dictates much more strongly regarding unit and other tests than constant human feedback. It&

1:1s are okay when you're an IC and have it with your manager. The problem is the flipside is when your manager has many ICs, then it doesn't scale properly. Imagine Jensen having 58 reoccurring 1-1s! In fact I see this with my co

How exactly is a machine learning model stolen this way? Or do you just mean they can collect data to train a better model.

Why does what China is doing with their laws bother you - should we institute the same internet restrictions because they are? China's support of Tiktok isn't what's allowing them to win out here in the US and that's wha

Let's compete with Tiktok on merit, not a targeted law. This seems wholly unfair, and for any US citizen, the bigger danger is the US government and its access to Meta/Google/etc data on its own citizens than what the Chinese

I don't understand why you're angry? It's hard to say someone working at Elon's companies are abused; they're talented and could easily quit and get a new job. And Giga is closer to Austin's downtown than Apple

Why isn’t it acceptable? It’s the same way I want to own a yacht and a private jet but it’s too expensive so I accept that I can’t afford it.

You’re right you can but/sell on the secondary markets easily. If you buy it directly on treasurydirect.gov, then you might have a lockup depending on the time interval you pick.

HYSA are great but even better are buying money market funds or tbills. Money market funds restrictions are they can be bought/sold during market hours and tbills have a specified lock up period, like a month or more. Both can be bough

"Understands" is too strong of a word, more that it recognizes the problem as written. Here's yet a slight variation - just as simple - but changed enough it now is wrong. https://chat.openai.com/share/22

This is not convincing though that gpt4 actually understands the problem. Here's a slight variation I asked and it fails miserably. https://chat.openai.com/share/22a9027f-a2c1-428a-94a2-8fd918... I wonder what len
