I shave DE and this is an amazing idea. I currently use a sharps container, but this is so much more fun.

I don’t like trucker hate. Owning the most popular vehicle in the US doesn’t make people compensators. It makes them practical.

I have a pickup. My wife says she likes my penis size. I question your hypothesis. Today, I used it to haul fire wood and tow a broken down ATV. Yesterday, I brought kayaks up to my family cabin. It gets used. Pre-COVID, it was part of the first leg of my commute. I’m not going to have a separate vehicle just to drive to the train station. That’s absurd.

Unions can be good as long as there are ground rules to protect the interests of both the company and the employees. Unions can become just as corrupt as companies can. They are just another form of association. In the same way companies are not allowed to monopolize and collude, unions also need to be kept in check, so that they don’t destroy the capitalist system.

True. This happens a lot at my company. The consultants just ask us what we think and that becomes the report.

Yeah. It is odd that they did the experiment with hydrogel when the subject of focus is water itself. Then again, the water container could potentially absorb light and emit heat, which would also confound the result.

Distinct is really only meant to be used like count(distinct x). If you have dupes in your output then you didn’t understand the cardinality of the data. He claims that his method is faster that just grouping by the account in the orders table. If that’s the case then SQL server is terrible.

No shit.

I have it on good authority that they spend lots on new content. Plus the actors and writers are going to be paid more. The customers fund the business. That’s how it works.

They are a public company that was $4B negative free cash flow last year. The employees get paid, but I’d love for you to describe the mechanism where a board member derives value when the stock has tanked over the past two years unless you are saying that they are shorting it, which would be public information and get them kicked off the board typically.

Not sure why my comment was deleted, but no. I work for a corporate competitor or them. Spotify is a public company, so it is plain to see that they are not profitable and have never been.

The fact of the matter is that $7 a month for what they are investing in content is not a sustainable business model. People will pay the extra without batting an eye. If an extra few $20’s out of your pocket is that big a deal in a calendar year, you probably are not their target demographic anyways and shouldn’t be paying for streaming services since you need to focus on living expenses.

Spotify is not profitable nor ever has been. It accrued $4B in additional debt last year. The business is subject to high royalty fees. As a competitor, I just leave free Spotify running all day on mute since they lose money from every subscriber. The royalties are the same whether they make money or not on the customer. It is wise of them to more aggressively convert people to paid plans, but I’m sure that their margins are razor thin.

If you don’t work, how do you survive?

I’m not.

The real story behind this is that someone stole his Lambo, so he had to testify in court about it. I guess the caption holds up.

I’d rather have ChatGPT know about news content than not. I appreciate the convenience. The news shouldn’t have barriers.

I did this with my wiki in order to read each article and come up with a category and keyword cloud. I first started by attempting to use many different tools to build my own LLM and then realized that I was reinventing the wheel and shifted to using OpenAI’s API. I was able to prompt it to read each article as input and output what I needed in a machine readable format. It worked like a charm.

Reminds me of the movie Gattaca

It’s a losing battle with a dying technology. The future is streaming over the internet using and ID that is tied to you or a company. The cell towers all have data. If standard 5G takes less packets than “Data”, we could at least change authentication to a key share system that ties a person and verifies their authenticity.
