Because you didn't order the illegal Acacia? It's not like elephant ivory - the wood can come from a number of places and look about the same. As an end user you asked for "wood floors" and you got wood floors, and it wa

Agreed - moderation at scale is a tough and expensive problem to get right. That said, I wonder how much these days it would take to get it working well enough using existing LLMs. I'm not sure how much you would need to do that wasn&#

They had a baby. It’s a boy! That said - perhaps harder to change the name that shows up as quickly as you could leave a recorded name? :) Still one of the best ads ever made.

Fair point! The digging in the ground didn't really occur to me until later :) Maybe GPS chips then?

Can you imagine if the proponents of the Clipper Chip had actually won the argument? Yeesh. This is inexcusable.

I love Zwifting, but the idea of riding in that position while also trying to concentrate seems really stressful :) Maybe on a hybrid I could look at my monitor while typing, but that seating position makes things quite hard. Good on ya for

I appreciate that this is not a mass surveillance play and all of the data stays on your phone. Well done!

There’s a containment fence in the photo.

When this happens don’t you typically also see the track registered at the bottom? ContentID took them a long time to develop if I’m remembering right.

Only if they're blue though. A true bike shed has to be some shade of blue.

It's probably best not to trust _any_ podcast until you do a bit of investigation. That way you won't run into the "learning not to trust" problem and you can write a "why I trust the X podcast" article. That s

Wait this person didn’t get paid for finding this? No bug bounty? Seems like they could at least toss them some free credits or something…

The notion that a president can do this unilaterally without Congress is very strange. While I understand the laws and norms around executive authority are often pushed against, you cannot legally defund an entire agency by executive order.

Yeah but I’ll be long gone :)

To do it on their own would be illegal. To buy it from a commercial vendor is an easy contract to write. Quite something. Perhaps we should write a new law making it illegal. They managed to outsource it on accident just because of a shared

A John Deere lobbying ad about how much they have contributed to manufacturing was presented right next to this article.

Absolutely incredible product. I don't have the $99 to splurge on this but it was very enticing :)

What is the killer app for this? Dan Suarez's Daemon series probably provided some insight into what might be possible in terms of literal secret meta-communities, etc but why would I want to see an internet link about the things I&#x2

I don't recall laughing out loud reading Siddhartha, but man I laugh my ass off every time I read Cryptonomicon, as well as a lot of his other books. They're often over-the-top wink-wink caricatures and often full of humor and cle

You're really missing out. Hiro Protagonist is a great character, and the idea of modern capitalism (Pizza delivery chains) combined with the yakuza underworld makes for some excellent cyberpunk imaginings.

How on earth would one even begin to enforce reverting the dismissal of an employee "because they didn't answer their phone after hours"? "Employee was dismissed due to poor performance." "Employee was dismisse

This is cool! I do wonder why they didn’t work with the National Museum of the Air Force on this that has a hangar full of them (including Roosevelt’s) and could have helped with the costs.

Being wealthy enough to cover it yourself doesn't mean it's stupid to buy the option to avoid the downside if it's priced properly.

Insurance (outside of health insurance, which is not insurance in the typical sense) hedges your "bet" so it's not gambling to me. Your bet is that you'll drive a car without an accident. Insurance hedges that bet to red

I have to say I'm a bit surprised "gardening leave" is not more of a norm in tech like it is in investment banking or finance.

For most things I view on the internet B-roll is great content, so I'm sure this will enable a new kind of storytelling via YouTube Shorts / Instagram, etc at minimum.

Good point. Replacing with pejorative would likely have been better wording potentially to get my point across but simply having held a role in the past as a person does not automatically associate you with all the sins of anyone ever in th

Agreed - I can appreciate the sentiment and the history, but the ad hominem is not really necessary to prove the point and undermines the credibility of the post. I still use Google, but man has it become difficult to get to what I want.

They are pro-business (and maintaining the rights of businesses to control their labor force), not pro-competition.
