What are the odds of this eviction actually happening? The deadline is the end of July and it sounds like pocket change to Musk. I'd lean towards "No, they won't actually be evicted."

I desperately hope Reddits recent changes kill it. It's nothing personal towards reddit, but I can't think of anything else which will dissuade enshittification of other online places.

I had the exact same thought. A real shame indeed.

Going dark for 48 hours seems rather toothless. Props to the subreddits at least attempting to go private permanently.

I remember when this happened for Robinhood during the Gamestop debacle, Google decided to simply remove all the one star reviews. I expect something similar here.

The album Getz/Gilberto is named as such because it's a collaboration between Stan Getz and João Gilberto. Astrud was João's wife at the time, and her presence on the album is really the consequence of happenstance and luck.

I see where the strikers are coming from, but isn't this an intractable problem? There's no way to tell if content is AI generated.

Do you have some examples of the language seeming boneheaded? Sounds interesting.

This is also true of mainstream media publications.

Can't believe this won. Although I liked the art style, it was painfully mawkish. I was cringing at almost every line. Maybe the other nominees were worse.

I think it's a bit much to accuse him of being an "applause cow" for conservative viewpoints. He's written at length about how conservatives on the whole are the low IQ and low information party. Not exactly something yo

Made the classic blunder of commenting before finishing reading the study. >A landmark paper studying the effects of listening to Mozart K.448 in individuals with epilepsy demonstrated a reduction in interictal epileptiform discharges (I

I really wish they had included a non-Mozart music treatment as well. At this point it's not possible to separate whether it's music that has this effect (most likely) or whether the effect is due specifically to Mozart's mus

I wonder if this is actually bad. There's an argument I see in favor of building luxury condos and apartments. If they're built, the richest people will vacate their current residences to live there. The next richest people vacate

Eating less WILL get him there. Why wouldn't it? Exercise isn't a requirement for losing weight.

Per this article [0], it seems they have had their accounts reinstated. AirBnB claims it was a mistake, Southern says they're lying. Judge for yourself. [0] - https://www.dailywire.com/news/airbnb-are-lying-lauren-

Is there really nothing in the law preventing companies from doing things like this? Could they say something even more absurd like $1-$1,000,000?

I detest the algebraic "proofs" used in debates on this. Anybody who thinks that 0.999... does not equal 1 should probably also reject the idea that 1/3 is the same as 0.333... the argument for both is the identical (getting

What did they control for? I'd expect those who eat healthy to also be more likely to exercise. If so, it could be exercise slowing cognitive decline rather than diet. Or sleep. Or income. Point being, there are a lot of variables corr

The article doesn't appear to suggest a viable substitute for IQ. It concludes that we should "[measure] what an intellect can accomplish in a lifetime," but this isn't really practical. IQ is not a perfect measure of in

Seems a bit bold to call Twitter a startup. I'm sure there's older companies on the list as well.
