Nobody is complaining about founder pay. The complaint is about publicly traded companies being subjected to elite capture by parasitical execs.

Why would workers in the global south feel any solidarity towards workers in the wealthiest country on earth who earn global top 5% wages?

Yeah it’s like trying to apply supply and demand to politican’s wages. Company directors and executives set their own wages using others’ money. It’s obviously not a market.

I was disappointed Apple didn’t buy them out to contribute to Siri.

They aren’t specifically trying to kill other search engines though. They’re just trying to acquire more users, by being the default service.

The big studios are mostly developing on Unreal, or their own in-house engines. The exception is companies targeting F2P / mobile games, but they're the ones who're going to be impacted by the pricing changes the most.

I think the announcement is using confusing verbiage. From the looks of it it's a monthly fee for installs made that month.

Mobile is the kind of use case where the pricing changes will be massively impactful though. If you're selling a non-mobile game for $10+ then you can just eat the per-install fee, but if you're shipping a free to play app or a $1

That it's safety critical is all the more reason it should fail gracefully (albeit surfacing errors to warn the user). A single bad flight plan shouldn't jeopardize things by making data on all the other flight plans unavailable.

Being able to handle 5 mph bumper to bumper traffic jams is hardly a Tesla-specific feature. It's quickly becoming a standard feature in cars, and such driver assistance features are rather independent from the conversation about full

While parked or double parked cars can get in the way of emergency service vehicles (that seems to have been the case here with an unoccupied police car contributing to the blockage together with the two Cruise cars), in most cases human dr

Note that one of the first responders blamed the blockage for delaying care and potentially contributing to the death: 'Collectively, these interferences “contributed to a poor patient outcome, delaying the definitive care required in

Well the problem is that Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturing workers work long hours for middling wages, so for semiconductor manufacturing in America to be financially viable in a global marketplace, something has to give.

True. If someone electronically drains your bank account that's totally different from someone robbing your safe.

I’d argue that if trespassing and burglary weren’t treated as crimes but rather as natural occurrences we’d have a much more robust home security culture today. It would also be a lot more fun to be a trespasser.

Thanks. That's an elegant definition of median!

Technically the spot on the opposite side of the earth is also a median right?

Yup. The typical use case is e.g. if someone logs in to your e-commerce site with their email and looks at a product but doesn’t purchase, then you can show them an ad for that product to try to remind them to go back and buy it. It’s a rea

You can (e.g. by email address), which is why it's impossible for Facebook to guarantee that ads weren't targeted based on listening in on conversations. It has no ability to determine how an advertising purchaser generated /

Facebook doesn't have to be the one doing it - a 3rd party that controls an app on users' phones could be selling transcribed data to companies that want to run individually tailored ads on Facebook.

When I worked at Meta, the execs said that many users think they're being spied on when they see ads based on a conversation they've had in real life, but the execs categorically denied that this could be happening, and said it&#x
