I wonder if it's even in America's interests to create a weaker Google/Facebook/Amazon/Microsoft. These companies are dominating globally (excluding China) and bring back so much money, jobs, and influence to Ameri

Yeah it seems like this would spawn a lot of weak competitors who only exist because of the protections and would die off the second they're cut off from the API.

Even if they get stuck at middle income for awhile, that's still like $10k nominal GDP per capita which would put them right around where China is today.

I thought you were kidding and then I read their bio. What an interesting choice for a startup shaving company. I'm surprised Unilever hasn't axed it by now after they made the acquisition.

Having race in the dataset itself might not be bad, if there was an expectation that the data scientist would use the data to check if the algorithm was biased in some way, but it seems like the customer was pretty terrible sooo who knows.

$200k for a single wage earner is definitely a lot (also for a lot of higher income people, aren't wage earners), but $200k for a household is like in the ~92th percentile. https://personalfinancedata.com/income-percent

It's hard for me to envision unions in a white collar environment when there's a pretty high likelihood of individual contributors being promoted to management. In factories, there's usually a separate management class of pe

Some of his supporters might just find him convenient for now. Like at work, sometimes I back people up who I don't really like or trust because at this moment they are doing something that is aligned with me, and it really isn't

Are the cruise ships really the problem compared to tourists trying to stay in the city? The cruise ship visitors will crowd around the main attractions but at the end of the day they will go back on the ship and not compete with locals fo

China has been growing so fast for so long that the people from there may have unrealistically high expectations and risk tolerance for the results of their infrastructure projects at home and abroad. I'd imagine a lot of people there

The only time I'm more open about finances is with people who I know are roughly equivalent to me or above, and usually we chat about expenses rather than income. Although with those friends we've danced around the income part eno

How is that allowed? It is like basically the equivalent of dumping products below market and production price like what China frequently does to steel.

It seems really implausible to pull off without making a scene with a bunch of retail workers thinking you're trying to pull off some kind of scam/fraud.

I remember wondering if AMD was about to die back then from Intel strangling it to death. They totally did this out of desperation, and I'd imagine they were not the only Western company that were faced with choosing between impending

As a former user of SMSBackup+, at a certain point it did seem like I was putting a lot of trust into a 3rd party to have full access to both my text messages and my email. So I can kind of see how it's a risk, but it seems sad to just

Also regrets are vague. I have regrets, but I don't know that I would do anything different.

People pay tons of money to take posed pictures with celebrities at meet and greets all the time, so I think that Cameos at least have a clear audience. It might not be for everyone, but I think it's kind of fun especially for minor c

A third of the city is very safe. The guy you're replying to went to U Chicago which is notoriously surrounded by not safe areas that are depopulating and falling alart and not dissimilar to what people think of as Detroit. Edit: For e

So for people not from Chicago, Streeterville is a neighborhood that has a lot of young college graduates working professional jobs and retired old people who live near the hospitals on purpose.

When overtime starts getting budgeted the employer doesn't care so much. Usually they've done the math on if hiring people (with benefits, etc) is better than spreading the hours out as overtime.

Yeah I live in a 2 bed room condo because it's cheap. I would prefer to live in a house and could afford it, but the ones in my area are pricey with fairly high property taxes (2-3%). Mortgage rates are 4-5%, so that all adds up with

Walmart's starting pay is $11 now, so they aren't even at minimum wage anymore.

I'm surprised they're pushing this out so fast considering one of their planes crashed outside of Houston fairly recently.

The sad part is they probably could have assimilated the Uighers faster if the Han were less racist against them. There were pictures of job agencies that had signs up that said no Uighers.

Nonviolent protests only work when the people they're protesting believe in some amount of basic human rights to begin with. Many Cherokee peacefully protested their land being taken from them in Georgia, but they were forcibly moved

Cruise ships basically sell the same thing-although a lot of their paintings sound licensed-and some paintings are embellished slightly with a few dashes of paint to make them 'unique'/'one-of-a-kind'.

Even when the NIH funds the research, the resulting drugs/procedures/patents are rarely owned by the Federal Government anymore because of the Bayh-Dole Act.
