Meta monetizes content. AI makes it easier and cheaper to create content. If everyone has access to high quality AI, high quality content may be more plentiful and that content can be posted on Meta's platforms, which would make it mor

The end user benefits are none of the things you mentioned. Mechanical watches are jewelry. They look nice, and hopefully they remind you of something. For many people it's a connection to something cool. Omega sells a lot of moon watc

The salary cap for most federal employees is $195,200 - that's the max for any level of experience. Big law firms are paying 225,000 for new grads and it goes up quickly from there. The median software engineer salary in the bay area i

It shouldn't be hard to understand why absolute power in the hands of yourself is the best political system. Since everyone can't be king, their next preference is going to be absolute power in the hands of someone who has their i

In the US, yes, but in New York we generally just pile up our trash bags on the sidewalk on garbage day. We don't have alleyways between our buildings and most of the street space is taken up by free car storage.

Going to add to the chorus here. One of the reasons these things are so successful is that it kind of kills the crave factor of eating. You don't get that feeling where you feel like you want to keep eating something addictive like piz

It's completely different from software engineering interviews. The process you described for airline pilots gets to the actual qualifications for the job. Whereas for software engineers, literally no one needs to reverse a binary tree

As a typical American, I have no idea what the flag of England (or the UK) looks like despite being fairly well educated. When this flag for language thing comes up I usually end up doing some kind of guess and check thing to find English.
