It's not evil, you're providing a service by offering the product in a more familar environment to people, but still it'd be good to be transparent about it rather than pretending you're the seller
My sister did, you just need approval from some government offices so you don't get mice that've had rabies-ebola-smallpox-anthrax tested on them getting out
Websites have false positives all the time and while it sucks, it's infeasible for them to have human reviewers checking everything and it's better to have false positives than false negatives... What isn't acceptable is that the appeals process uses the exact same models as the flagging process so it gets the exact same false positives and false negatives...
Pic related as it was one of the first to reveal how broken the appeals process in most social media platforms was.
A substantial amount of this inequality can be explained by further racial disparities in the benefits of high skill work experience
This sounds like a coded way of saying people with less money and fewer connections get less well paying jobs with worse progression, and more recent immigrants and descendants of slaves are less likely to have money and powerful connections...
Is almost like this is another example of trying to divide people by race when the actual split is by social class
Every AI model outperforms every other model in the same weight class when you cherry pick the metrics... Although it's always good to have more to choose from
Fingers crossed they double fault at least once in their 24 service points, although I imagine they wouldn't even use second serve power against some bozo
There's a difference between libertarians and republicans looking to make more money. Most of the supposedly anti-taxation anti-regulation billionaires just want less tax for them and fewer regulations for their business; everyone else and especially imported products can be taxed more to give the billionaire's company more subsidies, and regulations to prevent competitors from growing or starting up is even more welcome. Even when it comes to personal freedoms, they don't care and will gladly support the government in reducing those freedoms if it earns them some sway.
This all goes directly against the libertarian principles of government non-intervention in the free market and people's personal lives, both of which are vastly more important than just reducing taxes, which supposedly comes as a side effect later (even if in reality taxes would probably stay the same as you'd need to provide more assistance to low income people)
This isn't to say that more principled libertarians are necessarily noble or right or whatever compared to people who just want lower taxes, just that saying it's about reducing taxes and giving power to corporations is buying in to the direction that corporations are trying to move the ideology in
It's gotta be authoritarian right though... I can't see a pro-immigration, pro-choice, pro-gun, anti-tariff, anti-corruption (generally pro-freedom, that thing republicans pretend to like) libertarian getting anywhere with trump, it wouldn't surprise me if a tankie got along better given they're into most of the things trump likes
They're both optimised out by the compiler.
If you disable compiler optimisations, they're identical in machine code anyway, unless you introduce a second loop, in which case the first will be more memory efficient as the memory used in the first loop can be reused in the second loop, whereas if you declare the variable outside the loop it can't (again, without compiler optimisations, which make the whole comparison pointless).
Google haven't so much been destroyed by their own technology as hustlers have learnt to game it. Search as a whole has become worse as a whole as a result which is one reason people are looking to LLMs more as unreliable as they are, as they're easier and way better than mfa/seo content
I personally haven't bought anything from Amazon for years now (or really anywhere online, I think maybe 8 things in the past year?), issue is even within the last week I've spent hundreds if not thousands on AWS through work... Sure it's not me paying, but it's also pretty hard for me to not to given they have such a monopoly
if any of these startups succeed, my condolences to the engineers who get hired afterwards and are stuck bugfixing
This is any successful startup - you don't succeed by making a perfect product, you succeed by making a buggy mess that's enough to convince both investors and more importantly customers that there's potential... That means you need to rebuild from scratch in years 2-4 anyway, so frankly for the engineers who are coming in then, there's little to no difference
I think the best option is for workers to be able to get shares in the company they work at via an optional salary sacrifice scheme (so that it reduces the tax you pay, rather than letting you buy them with your after tax income)... If you care about the business, you can get a stake in running it, if you don't you can collect your paycheck and go home.
The stock market shouldn't exist however - when you leave the business you can either keep the shares, or return them to the business for "a fair price" (the amount you paid after inflation? or maybe just the current purchase price). Shares bought like this shouldn't be able to be sold - only those owned by the founder(s) can be, with the caveat that they must be offered to workers at a reasonable price.
That system eliminates both forcing "responsibility" on people who don't want it, as well as removing people parasites who want to destroy the business to make a quick profit, as well as allowing people who've worked there longer to have more of a stake.
Workers owning the business < people who care owning the business
That can take the form of workers, but equally founders or just people with an interest in what the business does. Equally though hard to get a founder who doesn't care about what the business does, but many workers genuinely just want a paycheck and to go home (myself included).
The problem is, stock markets and the existence of easily tradable shares, options etc. actively encourage people who not only don't care about the business, but would be willing to mess it up for short term gain.
