Can someone explain what the rationale is behind this move by google? Theoretically people working at google are fairly smart. But they are forcing a switch to a product that is an order of magnitude worse. I wouldn’t be surprised if they l

As much as many people here will hate this, it’s worth looking at what daily wire does and why it works, they have $200m+ revenue and are profitable. In a recent interview Ben Shapiro said it was never about building a publication but build

This is a ridiculous take. You realise Pakistan is collapsing right now because Europe bought all the LNG and it’s super expensive now? I.e if you start taxing energy more or making it less abundant you will collapse societies. How about Fr

Japanese are also extremely attached to their past and culture, which shows up in the game how its almost like a modern mythical representation of both old japanese myths and an obsession with technology. There, is that racist too? The resu

Well if you think through what world this will create - it will create one where all information is available up to around 2023, then once creators and writers have gone bankrupt or just noindexed everything, less and less new data will be

I think the US needs to come to terms with the fact that it’s eccentric people who create change, and who ultimately stand out in society. This has both bad and good parts. This obsession with how everyone should be perfect and somehow busi

I don’t understand the entire first principles these anti deflationists stand on. Like every single electronics product in the last 50 years has been deflating in price (either literally or increasing in core value). Does that stop people b

I wonder how our global lifestyle affects this too. You might have had a really dirty childhood in the UK and adapted to all the dirt and toxins there, but then you take a job in Nevada or something and you don’t have childhood immunity to

Except ford is losing a ton of money on EVs. I think yesterday a report came out their margins are -44% on EVs. While they might be selling some EVs, they’re pretty far from what Tesla is doing as a business.

A subsidy is not the same thing as NASA ordering private contracts for actual “products” Spacex didn’t get money handed to them (unlike the corn and oil industries). It got orders to complete certain tasks that NASA thought it might do bett

Responding to your edit: Perhaps in a theoretical sense they aren’t different, they are fiat money which is basically a ledger of value (which governments manipulate). But behind the dollar is the largest economy in the world and the larges

It’s kind of exactly why I like it. There’s a reason people have been playing it and it evolved over 1000-1500 years. The complexity and variety is extremely entertaining. It’s really nice having that sort of depth vs a video game with a se

I had a similar experience in jiu jitsu, everyone is way better or way worse, so it’s very frustrating to play usually. Unfortunately there isn’t an online jiu jitsu platform :) I’ve also found there’s many many parallels between chess and

Your point is a copy paste of every negative failed spacex launch reaction. Yet somehow they’re still the most successful rocket creating entity ever, and are close to creating a launch system that will reduce launch costs by 100x. So what

Yet he’s still beating blue origin, rocket labs, every major car company trying to create electric cars, and a charging network. Promising 10 awesome things and delivering 2 still gives you more awesome things than you started with. At best

Hardly any one lives there, and the people who get compensated. Wildlife is not going to have major, and I say major issues from this. You sound like the environmentalists you don’t want to build solar parks in the Sahara because it gets in

Sigh. Yes, perhaps you are accurate that it’s not always 2x but your 10x things is pretty childish. So what if it’s not 2x but more? Why are people like you so resentful of someone building something cool you literally can’t wait to point o

Stock is up 5% as of posting this, so I think the market already priced in something even worse potentially.

This is the opposite of my experience. My wife still easily uses my old Mac that’s 8 years old. No performance issues. Most windows machines I had worked for around 3 years. 5 max.

Perhaps read a bit about reels from the last earnings, they are eating tiktoks lunch and generating massive engagement. You are trying to fit the facts to your own narrative, which unfortunately isn’t correct.

by zpeti 3y ago
Yes. They even said on the last call they are intentionally rolling our reels slower than they could. So reels is a massive engagement and impression success that isn’t even fully exploited
