Yes, that would be complicated. EXCEPT most of what amazon sells is Company A in China makes product -> Company B imports and sells on amazon. That's easy to calculate.

If you are attending the meeting as well as using an AI note-taker, then you should be able to ask the clarifying question(s). If you understand the content, then you should understand the AI notes (hopefully), and if you ask for clarification, then the AI should add those notes too.

Your problem really only arises if someone is using the AI to stand in for them at the meeting vs. use it to take notes.

No, I would say at this point a lot of people who say they use twitter feel the need to say they aren't a nazi nor do they support nazi's. YOU may not feel that way, but a lot of people do, and they don't want to be associated in any way with endorsing nazi's or musk.

That's because a lot of those people think it's a "speeding ticket" camera flashing at them.

Here's an interesting thought on your "gotcha" - I'm 57 years old, been programming as a career for over 30 years, a lot of languages and I have no idea what the difference is.

That doesn't make sense, you have to specify the index when you're using Dynamo.

>My knee-jerk reaction is that the promotion and propagation of such methods should not be allowed

Both you and the rest of the world would be better off not worrying about/trying to stop other people from doing things that don't harm anyone else.

>Rich people pay way more taxes than poor people.

Not as a percentage of their income, especially when all "taxes" (anything the government charges for) are taken into account.

But see - that's part of "negotiation" too - you need to make them want you before you hit them with higher demands. If you're up-front you might not even get the interview.

>spreading deadly misinformation is a constitutionally protected right

For the people saying that it is a protected right, then how come you can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater when there isn't a fire?

I'm not trying to argue one side or the other - because I don't have a good answer. But it's not as one sided as some people make it out to be - free speech isn't totally free.

> theorize

"a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of the natural world that is based on the scientific method and uses facts, hypotheses, and laws"

Because it's not theorizing, it's wishful thinking. And for some reason it almost always leads to people telling other people how to live their lives based on the "thing that's bigger than our brain" (e.g. god, because that's what you're all trying to imply). That's why it's dangerous.

Anecdotal, but in my area (Central US-IL), we had Verizon as the telco many years ago and we had Verizon DSL (Comcast was the only other choice at the time). We had only 1 issue w/ Verizon and it was fixed quickly.

Frontier bought them out and they could not keep DSL working at all. Problem after problem that they couldn't fix. So we switched to Comcast - that's how bad Frontier was.

Now we use Metronet and I'm waiting for that to get completely enshitified since they were purchased by TMobile or someone like that. I hope i3 is available in our area, I'm guessing if it's not, they'll be moving in as Metronet goes to shit.

Nope - Boeing has been failing at many things for many years - this is the fault of putting accountants in charge.

Should that be the goal of the economy?

The tax cuts passed during the Trump admin have funneled a lot more money to people who were already rich.

Forgot to mention their appallingly bad self-checkout systems - one of the worst I've ever used because of anti-theft measures. I will say I went to Schnuck's the other day and it was actually worse because of their UI.

If your vehicle costs that much for a "simple" repair you're going to be suffering from expensive insurance too.

This makes it relatively easy to chain calls if necessary - call one api to get a authn token and then call another with the token you just got. I think that postman and insomnia can do that, but it's a breeze from the command line.

And as a programmer who preferred more c style languages, vb.net sucked (and I understand that's just, like, my opinion man). Way more verbose with weird syntax. Can't remember the exact syntax for lambdas, but it was a joke.

>If you were in a leftist bubble, you’d have been seeing science denialism for a while now.

That's interesting, if you ask me: "are you in a leftist bubble" - I would answer "probably a little." But I've NEVER seen any science denialism, so I guess I'm not?

What kind of denialism are you talking about wrt leftists?

It seemed like they were talking about large vs. small vehicles - not have vs. don't have a vehicle at all. And that's a lot different. The US could pass legislation making large vehicles more expensive and fuel efficient vehicles less expensive, but if I understand the situation correctly, it's the opposite. Which seems pretty stupid considering climate change.

Assuming that 'IL' means US-Illinois, not sure if Israel has legalized.

On the case of US-IL, the problem is that there's no competition (after 3 YEARS), because of the obvious corruption in the process from the beginning. But I wholly expected this considering how Illinois politics works. I live in a central Illinois college town (2 full Universities) and we have 2 dispensaries, both owned by the same company. A comparable city in Colorado, Boulder has 8.

Yeah, when I became a deacon I started reading the bible way more, with the thought that I could provide helpful/supportive quotes to people like some others can. I really don't understand how anyone can read it and not become skeptical.

Even better, well, take everything literally except for the parts that are provably wrong. If one part is not true, then any or all parts may not be true. And since there's almost no evidence for anything miraculous in the Bible then AFAIK it's all untrue until proven otherwise. I should mention I was a deacon when I was in my 20s, so it's not like I was raised atheist.

LOL, Genesis had enough bullshit in it that I was questioning things immediately. Somewhere in there it says that the stars were created after earth. And then there's Noah and the flood with the completely impossible repopulating the earth with a single family and a single pair of each animal. Exactly how did 2 buffalo's get to the middle east? Of course, the answer would be that god magicked them there - but then I thought - where's the magic now? Why hasn't anyone recorded actual evidence of a miracle?

>getting way too much money compared to the rest of society

Personally I feel that the "rest of society" is getting way too little money vs. us getting way too much (opinion based on the fact that profits/productivity have outgrown salaries for too long).

What makes them "wonderful engineers"? The vast majority are very smart, and obviously can code 'leet code like no tomorrow, but that doesn't make them wonderful.

Remember when the person who created homebrew couldn't get a job at google. That person created software used by a lot of people. He saw something that "needed fixing" and he fixed it. He fixed it so well a bunch of other people started using his fix. That's a wonderful engineer. Created a project used (and loved?) by many people. That's the kind of person you want helping to create products at your company.

Google puts so much emphasis on (coding) skills that aren't needed for the majority of the work done, and doesn't emphasize selecting for the ability to create things that people want to use. I also find the coding skills selection kind of amusing since they had to create a simplified programming language (Go) because so many of their 'leet coding new graduates couldn't handle C++ correctly. Perhaps being able to 'leet code in your sleep doesn't really make you a "wonderful" engineer either.

Why?

Yep, my wife and I used to do wedding photography and from that period we have 2 Canon 5D Mk II's and 2 40D's along with 3 L lenses, some primes and a few cheaper zooms. There's absolutely no reason we would ever need another camera. Even people with a single body wouldn't ever need another one unless they broke it.

Musk seems to be more like an immature high school student than anything else. If he's always been this way it shows how much "meritocracy" is completely untrue. I just don't get it.
