This is just a lie. I personally know somebody who worked at meta and they had a whole set of teams dedicated to building tools for governments to mass-export data based on their queries Now I don't know the exact details of which gove

It's very rare that I see an article on a topic like this that seems to be succinct, not assume any existing knowledge, and make me leave feeling more informed in < 80 seconds. Maybe personal taste, but I love it.

As somebody who's good at RCA, I'm worried all my embarrassed coworkers are going to take at face value a tool that's confidently incorrect 10% of the time and screw stuff up more instead of having to admit they don't kn

No playing sports for sure is fun and normally authentic behavior. Especially if it's not a particularly "cool" sport (e.g. pickleball). Though of course you definitely do find those people who make "Playing a sport&quot

I like the idea, on principle, any attempt to build community should be supported. I'm may not be the target audience if this is recently post-college, but the thing that strikes me is these activities feel a bit performatively male. I

Is this really how this works? Do you have a source? Also… in this situation does klarna get any of that 1340 or does Alice just delete the app?

I think this would be more informative if it dropped all moral pretense and just talked about the economics objectively. If we’re gonna call a spade a spade, bnpl is one of a dozen services that extracts money from those whose judgment we d

So... what happened? Did 2 hours a week work? Is it profitable now? Is it your only job? If so how many years of 2 hours a week did it take to become a livable income? I love this philosophy of beating out the enshittification and not hyper

I disagree. 1% issue aside - There are things Trump has done that have no American precedent, such as Jan 6th, openly insisting he'll run for a 3rd term, and too many others to list here. In that sense he is absolutely an aberration.

Sounds like apple really needs a better review/appeal process, official set of standards, etc. Seems like it's bad for their ecosystem at this point.

I don't know, that seems like a rather defensive response to me. Perhaps self-reflection is in order. Is the idea that friendship might be transactional too scary a thought to consider head on? Here's some science on the topic tha

>> What is a close friend? Before we can start asking people if they have any we should probably agree on a definition. If you use the Hollywood standard, then probably none of us have close friends. I've come to this same conclu

I don't know... I bought an expensive mic with a budget at a prior role, but it kept picking up background noise more than my mac would, and ultimately it's sitting in the garage. The difficulty of testing, getting feedback, setti

I'm sorry, what? Most of us would trade our jobs in an instant for a nice fang role where we had 0 oncall. I don't think that option is on the table for everybody.

Kinda feels like a nothing article. Seems to suggest epigenetic changes without establishing causation or even whether they are are good or bad changes. This is important because what I've heard (and checked via chatgpt) is that non-sm

I feel like there are two approaches that are never gonna work: self-control and asking companies to change. I think there is an obvious answer though: taking control of the algorithm via AI. I don't think we're there yet, but it&

Well a few thoughts. I feel like your question is trying to excuse reckless disregard (at best) as mere incompetence. I don't think if you sum up all the value on all the leases of wasted buildings it would be a drop in the bucket agai

There is indoor lettuce I can buy at my supermarkets that is "zero pesticide" (you can just google it and find several, don't want to post any sort of links to products here). I suspect it's hydroponic.

Curious if those who were incensed by “performative wokeness” have any insights to offer on this phenomenon… or if their anger around semantics only cuts one way Edit: feel free to downvote, but if you think you have a point other than hurt
