What's the point of getting FTC approval of an acquisition in the first place if they can just go back a decade later and undo it?

Do we think FTX would have been prosecuted if Trump were in office? Note that if FTX were able to hide its fraud for a few more months, they would have been able to bounce back and then some. Not saying that makes it better or worse, but a

Protein supplements, like all supplements, are for when you're falling short of your nutritional goals after accounting for your normal food intake. If you're getting enough protein through meals, then there is no need. Many peopl

The best part about this story is the spy, when asked to hand over his phone, decided to hide in the bathroom and lock himself in before storming out of the building refusing to hand it over. > On March 12, Rippling sought and obtained a

One of the things that launched snapchat to popularity when it was first out was when DJ Khaled got lost on his jet ski and was posting updates every few minutes to the stories feature (which was a new thing at the time). Real time updates

I sympathize, I really do. But I was a daily reader for a while and the ads on their mobile site were particularly brutal so I stopped visiting a while ago. I’ve since setup pi-hole and the site was probably viewable at that point, but I ne

Fair. I was checking out jobs in LA and was blown away. Was the primary reason I passed on my offers there. Also I didn’t want to give up my public transit

I mean, New York, including NYC, has a right to shelter law that anyone is allowed to get a free bed if they want. There is still rampant homelessness or vagrancies or whatever you want to call it.

Not really. The actual value to your life per dollar is lower the richer you are. So if you’re well enough off that a few bucks won’t make any difference when they go missing vs life changing money on the off chance it hits, it is worth it

One of my favorite Matt Levine quotes is: > Yeah I mean a general lesson here is that you want to be in the sort of business that sends one-line invoices, not the sort of business that bills by the sixth of the hour.

The air from my air conditioner sits on top of me like a blanket, not touching the parts of me in contact with the mattress. If the mattress itself is actually cool, it will stop me from sweating. The recycled air thing is just personal pre

I’m in the market for one. I want a cool sleep in the summer with fresh air (not recycled AC air). I haven’t found one with good reviews and also no required spyware unfortunately. So AC plus humidifier is needed, but I still sweat on the p

It is pretty well known Elon companies pay shit and churn through young engineers willing to work long hours for no overtime fueled by “passion”. It’s why he is pushing for more H1B1s. He wants desperate people worried about being deported

I think that is part of the point. "As hire As. Bs hire Cs." A-tier folks want to work with the best, B-tier folks want to work with lackeys that will do their bidding. It's pretty clear there's no A-tier folks in charge

I feel like the original messaging was terrible. Everyone thinks "metaverse" == Horizon Worlds, since that was the demo they showed at the time. It was actually supposed to be a blanket term for all post-phone tech that will be in

Specifically long term investment, which is why you only get the benefit of lower taxes after a year.

Idk if dang was in charge back in the day, but I remember HN used to shut off sign-ups whenever Reddit went down (very frequently like 10 years ago) so they didn’t get a flood of users looking for a low-effort Reddit like experience. Those

I like the chart Bloomberg has of the top 10 largest single day stock drops in history. 8 out of the 10 are NVDA (Meta and Amazon are the other two).

I'm wondering if there's a (probably illegal) strategy in the making here: - Wait till NVDA rebounds in price. - Create an OpenAI "competitor" that is powered by Llama or a similar open weights model. - Obs

> dropping to yellow and then red How do you know what your trustfactor is? Or were you just speculating because the quality of games was lower? As far as I understand TF is hidden specifically so it can't be gamed.

I'm not defending them here, but the laws in China prevent a sale, so technically they have a duty to uphold China's laws first before upholding their fiduciary responsibility. Same with any American company and following American

Didn’t that already happen in Phoenix? They paused the program there, but unsure if there was actually a lawsuit or settlement.

I don't have a pulse on how far self-driving has come from a tech standpoint, but from an outsider's perspective I'd say it is "achieved" when I can order a self-driving car from an app in all of the top 10 most pop

Like when you type something into the chat gpt app I am guessing it will start by preprocessing your input, doing some sanity checks, making sure it doesn’t say “how do I build a bomb?” or whatever. It may or may not alter/clean up y
