He posted a ton of video examples if you scroll down thread on Twitter, and some are better than others. It's shocking how accessible the technology is now that a phone app is letting you do faceswaps on short video clips with one pic

I think a lot of their problems stem from outsourcing most of their customer service to poorly trained and poorly compensated contractors. Plus there seems like there's a firewall between actual Googlers who could make changes and com

A lot of airlines seem to pad their arrival times tho, so it might not be an apples to apples comparison. Like a week ago I sat on a plane that was stuck on the tarmac for an hour, and we still arrived on time at the destination after a cou

There are so many people in this thread and other like it doing the exact same thing. There was a thread a few months ago about Venetian people getting priced out by airBnbs taking over all the housing and destroying the culture, but the ch

Obama and Romney both had GOTV platforms that used data to target GOTV efforts (and had matching sea animal code names), so it's not a Republicans v Dem thing. The CA scandal coincides with a lot of doubt about trusting large tech comp

There's also a ChexSystem that banks use to block people from opening accounts, which is like basically blocking someone from even being able to get started doing anything financially since so much of it is digital now.

It's not surprising that they prioritize higher margin housing, since 'luxury' apartments are barely any different than affordable housing units. It doesn't cost a developer that much extra for them to dress up a basic a

I heard from some friends in NYC that there was drama over the lego flag sculptures, where the Taiwanese lego flag was mysteriously smashed several times and the rebuilt flag hidden behind a larger PRC lego flag.

I think that their statistic of women being full professors being lower than the percentage of women assistant professors, highlights that women aren't promoted as much to higher levels. Full professors and assistant professors are in

So basically you have to manage your own inventory for Amazon, pay Amazon for fulfillment of orders of your product, pay Amazon for storage of your product, and also let Amazon control the pricing to get preference on the buy box. I can see

I've moved around a lot for work, and I think it's still pretty easy to restart your life if you wanted to. My name isn't very common, but there's a least a dozen globally that show up if you search for me, that I'

The $60k salary minimum hasn't changed since 1989, so it originally wasn't really unreasonable to think that only high skilled/hard to find labor would be brought in thru the visa.

A risk with 4. is that the fake generic's price could drop from 50% of branded price to much lower to kill off competition or at least make it hard for the competitor to justify all their initial start up costs.

Especially considering the API costs of using Google maps now. I'm assuming they're getting free credits, but the list price per 1k loads is $7 so hopefully they're getting a lot for free.

I feel like being rich is a combination of income and like assets/net worth. Like I know people who make 6 figures+ and live pay check to pay check because they have a lot of expenses.
