From the article
> Airbnb more or less admitted this four years earlier when it told Jay it had found her picture: How else would it have been unearthed?
> Airbnb’s open admission to Freya and her partner that their accounts were suspended as a result of Freya’s sex work suggests that Airbnb, which until recently denied targeting sex workers when not avoiding the question entirely, is confident in the surveillance technology it has been refining for years.
sent a request to have that fixed so hopefully the link gets updated
> Freya didn’t use Airbnb properties for sex work, but she had her suspicions about how Airbnb flagged her. In May of 2020, before adopting cryptocurrency, she was paying for escorting advertisements with her credit card. Data sharing between platforms could have led Airbnb to algorithmically put two and two together.
> Airbnb is developing a product that essentially assigns each of us a social credit score.
Figures like Rudy Giuliani had direct and personal access to the laptop and yet what bombshell evidence do we have today?
This story is so damning that the tweets people on the right keep spreading are literally just revenge porn.
Some “real story”.
Continuing to give him the benefit of the doubt just reeks of
> I can be tricked by anyone who looks like Mark Zuckerberg.
And yes, I know that was a joke but obviously the unconscious bias is quite strong, stronger than a lot of these investors want to admit.
> It really does seem that heavy investment from a young age by a good teacher can work wonders.
This is not the bet. It is not any arbitrary skill.
I specifically said
> I'd bet any amount of money you want that you could just do the same thing with any arbitrary human and create a mathematician of his caliber.
Commenter was replying to someone who said
> I feel that Terrence Tao doesn't get much recognition outside of maths circles but he's one of those people who just seem to be in a totally different league.
and I highlight
> one of those people who just seem to be in a totally different league.
The idea that any kid who gets a lot of investment at a young age from world renowned mathematicians will be another Terrence Tao or even 10% of Tao is not plausible.
He may not like the genius label, but in his case, it is absolutely true.
Accusation
> He's very, very happy with threats, including death threats if they are people that he doesn't like.
Prior three sentences
> He supports LibsofTikTok, which has resulting in whole hospitals being shut down by terrorists.
> He unbanned Taleb Kweli, who was banned for using twitter to stalk, harass, and organise mobs against a woman he didn't like.
> His campaign against Yoel Roth has resulted in Roth and his family having to flee their house.
?????
Nothing I've ever read about him suggests that he operates in a humane manner.
He's like a lot of billionaires, views humans as cogs in the machine.
How you would react is no where near the standard she would have used.
Hm why would a woman when confronted with an enraged man threatening her seek to minimize conflict…
That's because white people violently killed, lynched, and massacred everyone that dared to cause "trouble" prior to the Civil Rights Movement.
I'm referring to these

What I hear is that unless you have at least standard support, they treat you like garbage.
No.
literal definition
> the weight of an inert person or thing.
The metaphor refers to people that do nothing and are only a burden. Dead weight cannot positively contribute.
I doubt this is true, especially given the fact that many people refer to kids as parasites.
Why should we care what the European standard for abortion is?
Whether or not they have other freedoms that we don't have is irrelevant.
See George Stinney Jr. for an example.
You don't even fully read the links you provide.
> Cost estimates based on Safeway and Berkeley Bowl prices advertised in January 2013.
> Note that costs are for portions used in the menu; your up-front cost will be higher if you purchase all items on the list as packaged.
Furthermore, this is only for one person. This menu doesn't work for little kids because they need formula. It doesn't work for teenagers because they're ravenous eating machines. And if they're particularly active kids, then this doesn't even meet the caloric needs.
This menu is for an adult that is relatively sedentary. If you're talking about working class people that do manual labor, this is completely inadequate.
> but you've since left the domain of attempting reason, but I'm hoping that's just because you have too much ego on the internet but can still absorb information and utilize it later.
Right back at ya.
You changed your argument from nutrition to calories.
> As for your ignorant assumptions, I've been homeless for short periods of time in my life (in between jobs moving to a different city) and lived far below the poverty line for like 8 years of my adult life.
As for your ignorant assumptions,
> Frankly, you have no idea what you're talking about. You can eat far healthier than the average american on the lowest budgets in the US. At literally half the poverty line if you spend 30% of your budget on food that's $5 a day on food - now you've probably never been poor so you don't understand how far $5 can take you in america - here's a nice showcase of what you can eat for $3.33/day
None of this would be true in a place like California, especially if you live in a food desert.
> So again, you've got no idea what you're talking about
So again, you've got no idea what you're talking about
> I could do this all day, honestly as it's not even remotely hard to eat very healthy and very well on $5/day
Yea, maybe where ever you live, not here.
The metrics people used 100 years ago are of no concern to me and indeed the values those people held are more often than not abhorrent.
> Food availability isn't a problem in the U.S. for all but the extreme outliers.
When faced with data, you persist in this lie.
> Now, education about nutrition is very likely a problem, but even the poorest of the poor can readily get the nutrition they need if they knew what they needed
False, food deserts coupled with the fact that the more nutritious foods are much more expensive make it extremely difficult to do so.
> I fast for many days at a time _because_ it's healthy.
That's easy af to do when it's voluntary.
> We have an obesity epidemic in our poorest demographic. That says about everything that needs to be said, if you ask me.
This tells me that you've never been poor. One of the reasons people are obese is because all they can afford is the worst foods.
It's a thing

> This procedure is often called “friendly contempt,” a recognition that the contemnor has not acted “with contumacious disregard for the court’s authority,” but requires a contempt finding and sanction for the purpose of obtaining appellate review. See Klaine v. S. Ill. Hosp. Servs., 2016 IL 118217, ¶ 6; Zagorski v. Allstate Ins. Co., 2016 IL App (5th) 140056, ¶¶ 16-17. In many cases, the contemnor has even requested the finding and sanction for that purpose. See Ctr. Partners, Ltd. v. Growth Head GP, LLC, 2012 IL 113107, ¶ 20.
The income requirements often times are far too high especially if you're in gentrifying areas due to cost of living.

The metric of whether or not someone literally dies of starvation is a pathetic metric.
You expounded on the value of semiconductors but you didn't on the value of feeding children that would go hungry otherwise.
This is why saying
> This is a shallow analysis.
rings hollow.
The value of feeding the next generation of Americans and ensuring they do not go hungry should be just as much a matter of national security as semiconductors. It's not because the poor are viewed as expendable.
