You’re falling for the fallacy of “if I can’t see it must not be happening”.

Not to mention if it were made public, how could it be done without exposing the technology?

“US govt sees massive methane emissions”

“How?”

“Uhh, satellites.”

“Which ones?”

The people running the government are the same ones running it 4 years ago. It’s only a handful at the very top that change.

Tartrizine is not banned in the EU. It's still used as a food addative.

Yeah I noticed the author is replying to a lot of questions except the question of what happened to the shares that were exercised

It took me a while to figure out what happened, but this is my understanding.

1. OP was granted 25,000 options.

2. OP was told by Nvidia their options had vested and they need to exercise. OP said ok, I’ll exercise.

3. Nvidia made an error in stating the number of options (although the paperwork had the correct number), so only a portion were exercised.

4. The remaining options expired as they were not exercised.

So the legal argument is that Nvidia’s error in stating the number of options resulted in OP’s loss. However lawyers have told OP the statue of limitation on such a civil suit have passed thus no point in pursuing it.

Is that it?

This is my question. The post states “I received a call that all options had vested so I need to exercise them, so I did”.

Ok? So the author should have those shares to his name?

That jumped out at me too. It’s hilarious to see that response so often when AI makes a mistake

What EU regulation related to crop growth are you most interested in Canada adopting?

I mean the best way to measure QOL is to see which countries people want to migrate to. The hurdle to do so is high for most people, so they pay a significant cost to get their preference.

If you adjust for population size and limit just to high income countries, the US comes out on top.

"Dammit why don't the voters realize how much better their lives are!!! Must be xenophobia then"

I get that people always want a simple answer and vilifying your political opponents feeds the ego.

Clearly Europeans don't feel like things are better than a few decades ago. Any politicians who ignores that or blames something like xenophobia has blinders on.

I've lived in Germany and all the problems are listed are real. Pretending otherwise is silly

Different stroke for different folks but looking at immigration flows between countries on a per capita basis, average preferences are clear

Tell me you’ve never lived in Germany without telling me you’ve never lived in Germany.

I’m not saying it’s terrible but to pretend it doesn’t have problems is pure fantasy

That's the risk you run immigrating to another country.

I immigrated to another country and I went in eyes wide open knowing that at any point I might have to pack up and head home. In fact, it became far harder to immigrate only a few years after I did. Likelihood is that if I hadn't come when I did I never would have been able to.

It took 10 years to finally become a citizen, but I did so the first day it was an option (yes, I counted down the days and sent in the application on day 1), because I knew it was the only way I could safely assume I'd never be forced to leave.

Clean living spaces? Have you lived in Germany? How about petty crime? Government bureaucracy? Employment opportunities? Cost of housing?

Have you been to Mississippi? Have you seen the middle class suburbs?

Most gun crime is limited to a small geographic area either the rest have no having low gun crime.

Have you lived in Mississippi? How about Belgium?

Or are you basing that on what you see on social media?

Yes, it has nothing to do with how the current left-leaning government has been ruling. Couldn’t be that at all.

I wouldn’t say the quality of life is higher. Incomes are lower, taxes higher and we know disposable income is linked to quality of life to a degree.

Also, GDP per capita is what pays taxes. Taxes pay for social programs and infrastructure.

The EU is going to have a lot of trouble paying for social programs if its economy is in the dumps.

You’re mistaking the SP500 with the whole US economy.

Big tech isn’t that big. Silicon Valley is $840B, while the US is $32T, so about 3%.

The US could lose all of Silicon Valley and still be much more productive than the EU.

It’s wild to blame Walmart for government subsidies when it’s the government not Walmart who decides who gets benefits.

Is Walmart to blame they hired a single mother of 3 for $20/hr? Would this women be better off if Walmart never existed and she was unemployed?

And then turn around and blame Walmart for selling essential food items for low prices because SNAP can be used to pay for them. Would you rather SNAP beneficiaries pay more for groceries so they have less to eat?

I’ve been paying attention to the incident you speak of since it’s so interesting to see how an authoritarian system deals with it.

I was quite amazed when the father of the teenager made a statement about “maintaining harmony”. It’s right out of the stories you’d hear about life in the USSR.

Thanks for sharing the details. Does the attorney check that the AI copied the data accurately? Or is it just assumed to be correct?

Your experience mirrors my own. AI is great for parsing data that can take up a huge amount of time. My only concern is whether or not it’s done accurately. I wouldn’t use it for anything where mistakes cause serious consequences.

I’m curious how this increased throughput happens.

You’ve accurately stated that AI isn’t as rigorous as a trained attorney. Doesn’t that mean that every single datapoint must be confirmed by a human?

How is that quicker than just using a human to read the content and make the call? Data entry savings?

Vietnam has had a security apparatus all the way down to the neighborhood block level since the 1950’s. It was low tech and relied mostly on human surveillance but it did exist.

It has collected biometric information for a while and now has facial recognition in place for every single Vietnamese at this point. Combined with the camera coverage in Vietnam now I wouldn’t be surprised they can track anyone they wanted.

Little known fact - Vietnam modernized their Public Security apparatus in the late 1950s with help from GDR’s Stasi.

Vietnams surveillance system, population database and use of biometrics were all adopted from the GDR.

The error that people make when criticizing card fees on merchants is that customers pay the cost. That’s not necessarily true.

There are benefits for merchants to accepting credit cards. More impulse buys, buying more per transaction. An owner may choose to absorb the merchant fee because the increase in sales (even at the lower profit per unit) means higher profits overall.

This is a solved problem.

Let people defer increases until their house is sold. This what many states do.

It’s seems insane that we “protect” people whose property taxes are going up because their home is getting so valuable

It’s hard to take comments like this serious with all the hyperbole.

But regardless. Polls of your average citizen aren’t worth a whole lot considering most people get their information from social media.

It can be something as simple as an analytical reference.

If you’re testing for dimethyl mercury in say fish, you need a standardized sample of dimethyl mercury to run.

These references are highly dilute and thus less hazardous. But some labs prepare their own references rather than buying them.

That requires working with pure dimethyl mercury.

The hazard is manageable as long as you’re prepared. Chemists work with lots of hazardous chemicals and it can all be managed with the right preparation.

Nope. There was another protest where the police asked the protestors status. They then called Immigration Canada to verify.

You literally have the cops in Canada working hand in hand with federal immigration enforcement. No politicians crying about it. No protests by Canadians.

Just the enforcement of common sense law
