Recently a number of actions by FTC and CFPB have been taken due to false claims of job placement or success, especially when tied to financing options. If a college makes a claim like this that is patently false it’s worth sending to them.

I think you forgot about India. It's 22% of the world minimum.

This isn't a generational shift so much as VCs showing their hand. It's strange the article saw this as some magnanimous transfer of power rather than folks getting out of the market because it's not as rigged in their favor

Only if bagholders convince others that this is true. It's a sales and stability pitch at this point just like fiat currency. Not sure why it's a good long-term store. It requires electricity to exist.

I would totally welcome good and adjustable on-console AIs to play massive online battles alone or with a couple of friends rather than playing against actual humans, tbh.

Wouldn't a general purpose 3d AI learn just as quickly about those issues in the real world as they do in-game issues? Video game physics can also be made more difficult - it's not a stretch to think about a reality simulator that

All of them. It’s no coincidence Facebook is leading the charge to regulate social media, AI, and other technology usage. Regulation is a nice “free”* moat once you’ve made it. *lobbying costs aside

I couldn’t tell if this was because of the stable revenue stream or because they care about changing things. Not sure Palantir is the best example here as they probably need a competitor already. Palantir was also funded by the intelligence

They would not have been able to change it, since the podcast client was reliant on the standard of distribution which was open. I wouldn't attribute this to Apple "letting" it happen. They would've had to invest million

20K in stock each year if you manage the super centers. That (according to the article I read about this on NYT) is oround $128K/yr max, and the equity vests over 3 years. It's great for making sure folks feel a sense of ownership

Worked at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for awhile. We encountered a lot of these cases and there are a ton of dark patterns as well as just straight-up not honoring the 300 page contracts that they had written. For the most part

Just wanted to say that I found this phrasing to be fantastic.

To be fair... that's today. Guessing something might be in the works but it's 1AM Eastern Time in the US.

Not sure if you've tried it, but central heating doesn't really interrupt you too much. ++ Would recommend over firewood (assuming you're actually on a grid)

I would be angry about this but there isn’t very much on Prime anyway. That said, I can’t say I’ll ever buy their hardware again.

Interesting! Good point. Might give it a shot :)

Highly recommend OnForm for this. You can download pro slow motion videos and put them next to you side by side.

I love disc golf. My interests have truly intersected on this post. In addition to clinics and practice ranges, this would be useful for folks that throw a lot in the field if it’s made a bit smaller and at a lower price point. I often thro

It was very early in the pilot process, and I was trying to board an international flight. There was little or no signage, and the TSA staffer told me I could not opt out when I asked. Not a great experience. Since Senator Markey has been h

They are piloting this at an airport near me. When I asked if I could opt out the employee said “no”. It was only later I was told that I could (upon returning home and looking it up) FaceID as government ID is not a good idea, and it’s fin

Less than a year's GDP for that many years of war including Veteran's benefits seems pretty cheap as wars go. That is not an analysis of whether it could've been spent better, just a statement about war costs generally. Clear

I have normal lights, but the switches are on a Lutron hub. I like being able to set movie mode to dim lights from my couch on my watch or phone. I like being able to turn off my kids' bathroom light when it shines too brightly in my f

Aren't most of these generics all white-label anyway? I'm less worried about store-brand generics that are often outsourced, and more worried about behavior that drives any of the original manufacturers out of the business entirel

Many businesses have GSA Schedule contracts but most of them don’t get much business. For many, it’s not even worth the cost to obtain them.

Other options for this might include Code Llama (which runs on ollama locally) and looks interesting: https://about.fb.com/news/2023/08/code-llama-ai-for-coding/

I kinda love the idea of 1% interchange and someone shaking up the market. I really hate the idea of using my phone patterns as the new FICO. It just brings us down a 1984-style rabbit hole and a lot of abuse / lack of access to credit
