This feels like an area Google would have an advantage though. Look at all of the data about you that Google has and it could mine across Wallet, Maps, Photos, Calendar, GMail, and more. Google knows my name, address, drivers license, passp

Google's AdMob has been doing these. Often it's something simple like completing a puzzle. I hate that I prefer these ads because it shortens the time until I get back to my game.

I've worked for two companies that did mobile ads, and one other that did web ads. The web ad company was hampered by poor engineering and management that had big glory projects that were poorly conceived or too ambitious; they no long

I can tell you how the ad companies will implement this. For Rewarded ads (the longest ones, that are at least 30 seconds, and sometimes as high as 60 seconds), they'll move to that succession model, but the succession will take you at

None of the rights that people have are unrestricted in that way. The sixth amendment gives you the right to a lawyer paid for by the government, but it doesn't give you the right to pick any lawyer you choose. The obvious answer is th

I think it's an attempt to normalize the idea that shelter is a basic human right. As a blue-stater, I'm undecided on whether I agree that it's a right, but I definitely think that nobody has a right to shelter in any propert

But there's a loophole. Burbclaves will need to let deliverators in, which is a gap in the armor. How are they supposed to defend themselves? Some sort of rat thing?

Not OP, but it's probably about inheritance rules. If you inherit a property then you inherit its tax basis. In fact, if I remember correctly, you inherit the tax basis, but the capital gains basis resets. You effectively inherit a pro

https://lmarena.ai/leaderboard allows you to do your own blind A/B testing, but they aggregate user choices. Looks like Google is in first place in the vast majority of the metrics, not far behind in the rest, and ahea

I think everyone uses jj a bit differently. Personally I don't like having a staging area; for me it's an opportunity to forget to add a change to a commit. I don't keep files in my work tree that I'm not going to commit

The article says the claimed in court that they're not working on a wearable device. So that rules out headphones, glasses, maybe comm badges.

While I agree (and strongly identify with, and like this position), one could amend the original to be "Gen-X uses pens and print, Boomers use pens and cursive"

I think the most relevant quote is from Futurama: "Eh-de-de-de-de. Don't quote me regulations... I co-chaired the committee that reviewed the recommendation to revise the color of the book that regulation is in. We kept it gray.&q

I just sold my Harley (literally this morning). And you're totally right about the vibe. I had a 2017 Roadster (a much more upright bike than the cruisers you think of when you think of Harleys) and any time someone asked, I'd exp

It's much more than a 5% decline. I started keeping track of Harley dealers around 2019. When I started tracking, the website listed 1859 locations around the world. Of those, 58 looked like merch stores (no bike sales, no services), s

"Having" things is the goal of most humans on this planet. Some individuals can control those baser instincts, but most people can not.

The way I look at it, the longer you stay in a high risk investment, the more opportunities there are four your investment to go sideways (aka you lose your investment). I see it as similar to flaky tests. Let's say you work on a code

I had the same experience being in downtown SF (near Market) for the first time in a few years, but I attributed it to the number of electric cars. The whole visit felt weird, and eerie, and off somehow, but I couldn't figure out what

FWIW, I think this is an adult vs. kid thing. I used to be the kind who would build my own stuff, and my kids definitely prefer to design and build their own things. But at some point I transitioned, and it's more about having a built

I don't know about builder's keys from that era, but modern builder's keys aren't vulnerable to this problem. The builder's key uses a deeper cut on one or more pins, but the owner's key can and should be prett

This flow can work with jj also. It would probably be exactly the same. You'd do `jj new` and have Claude set the description and make its changes. When you're ready for the next round, you'd repeat and do `jj new` again for

I agree. I'm also not familiar with Bob Dylan in more than an abstract "he's a musician" sort of way. The second flowed effortlessy, conveying tone, intention, and imagery.

I have a friend who is having twins. I'm using some new woodworking techniques to make a pair of baby rattles for her. The real challenge is trying to make two shapes with organic curves and precise cuts that are as close to identical

Around 1991 I remember having a book that was a cross between Choose Your Own Adventure and D&D. It was about the same physical size, but it was a full (albeit small) D&D campaign. There was a character sheet at the back of the book

I was able to break through the scam veneer on one of these calls. It was remarkably professional up until I outright called him out and told him how I knew it was a scam (the email "from Google" didn't have the right headers
