Except when interest rates are near 0%, you can take a loan against the house and use as leverage to buy more stocks (or property).

It's because of the outcome not the action itself. Apple bundling music with iPhone doesn't risk putting multiple public companies out of business. If Apple partnered with google (and maybe Microsoft/Windows) to bundle apple music into Android you'd probably have a stronger case.

"and it'd be impossible to impose any without the kind of extreme restrictions of a totalitarian regime."

Surely china would fall under that statement from OP's perspective.

Why would a republican controlled house committee run cover for the Bidens?

"inequality is bad for you so go move someplace where you can contribute to making inequality even worse for the locals"

> of a broken company culture

I agree with this in a sense. Every time someone talks about how they've been able to make remote work and how every company should as well, the thing that pops into my head is "well why doesn't the company just completely change their culture".

Can companies to this, yes. Should they, (opinion). Can it be understandable why a company might be resistant to completely changing their culture?

Take your example of "incompetent managers". How many managers do you think a google/amazon type company would need to fire during a transition to a fully remote culture because they are unable to learn the required skills? How long would it take them to backfill those managers and what's the cost to the business in the meantime?

How many of those biggest parties do you expect to give/sell the data to new players if it'd even be legal for them to do so. Closing the gates can still provide a revenue stream for Reddit, especially if they do it early enough into the hype cycle.

And open yourself to potential lawsuits. You can fork any public repo in github too, don't need any fancy resverse-engineering or web scraping. But if you use the content illegally then what's the point.

Theoretically, space based networking can be lower latency then ground based (above a minimum distance) because of the differences in the speed of light in the two mediums.

For example, using gliding bombs rather then missiles or dropping dumb bombs from overhead.

Which methods have been affirmed by the courts? Congress controls the budget/purse by constitution right? I heard somewhere that the tech doesn't even exist to prioritize spending beyond a pure FIFO spending approach.

So what would happen if you tried the recipe and then asked ChatGPT to change it based on your feedback. They're different tools and different interfaces.

If you already know what you want "Chili soup" then doing a classic search and looking up all the options is probably the best bet. If you don't know what you want (i have all these ingredients make me a recipe or I kind of liked this but want it to be <different>) then the aggregation that LLM's do is more suited.

Or you combine the two. Ask ChatGPT a question to figure out what you want, what are some areas to dive into more. The do the classic search research and primary sources to fill in the details. This is what I mean by blindly trusting the output, the best description I've heard is that it's a digital intern.

And we should blindly trust anything you read on the internet written by a real person? It's still valuable as a "search engine" with a different interface, especially if you can describe the problem but don't know the words to search for. For me that's a common issue when jumping into a new space.

identify a target

decide to attack the target

implement the attack

determine the result of the attack

If humans are required for the decision, then humans have an inherent hook to prevent more attacks. Otherwise you run into scenarios like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyMNIFZTQkg where humans are incapacitated and AI just continue on like nothing has happened. It makes the failure modes more sane. It's not a catch-all but a good agreeable step to take.

"Use of Creations. Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, the Microsoft Services Agreement, and our Content Policy, you may use Creations outside of the Online Services for any legal personal, non-commercial purpose."

Probably not the only factor but could be one.

is it uninteresting or just not scalable for a human to dig through; content vs index/search problem?

I think there's a big difference between "socially impactful" and "enevitable seeming break down of our social structures"; that difference being the potential (direct) downside. It seems unlikely that most history or economic research would have the same downsides as AI.

Some things in CS are already regulated such as encryption via EAR: https://web.stanford.edu/group/export/encrypt_ear.html

AI is not allowed to make the decision to kill, that must be done by a human. Having every other step done by an AI is still going to be a huge advantage over non-AI military forces.

I think this is mainly dealt with by the RIAA curve which is standard across all recordings. The compression being referred to is likely the per-track compression as part of the production/mastering process.

Anyone know why SpaceX isn't trying to get deals similar to Amazon's Kuiper?

Why have cell phones communicate with the SAT directly if you can just use the SATs to deploy "normal" cell towers?

Or you can be SVB and take a lot of a haircut. Putting money you "need in a pinch" in an asset where you could take a haircut to get an extra percent or two of interest is a risk. A risk you can mitigate but still a risk.

What do you expect monitor technology to look like in 20 years; the same as today just with more pixels? If someone types by touch, what's the difference between a VR monitor and a physical monitor?

Agreed; i would claim: If video chats/conferencing are XX% (95%) of a real-life conversation and a "metaverse" product can bring that up to XX%+N% (99%) then people will pay for it. If the cost is right it'll become mainstream. If the cost is too high it'll probably be a business or niche tool. Once that tech exists other products will become possible too.

I don't personally see what's controversial with that claim and bet. Separately one can argue if the current tech is anywhere near good enough to achieve the N% gains but the common thread of VR/AR/metaverse as being a useless product forever is a textbook example of missing the forest through the trees.

If you have a job lined up no. If you're going to be job hunting wouldn't you get backdated unemployment even if you had the savings to live without it?

So "A Player" is on a pointless project not providing value to the company gets axed. The value to the company is losing with that "A Player" is nothing because the project they're working on is pointless.

These companies could take a more twitter like "print out your code" or global stack ranking to lay people off but i don't think it dodge the problem people describe. The "A Player" could still be mad that all their coworkers got fired and/or the "pointless project" they enjoyed working on got axed and still leave. You just get the add cost, drama, and blow-back (see twitter) that a performance based firing would entail and probably open yourself up to lawsuits (IANAL) if you don't have an adequate paper trail for those performance based filings.

2. If you can scramble a jet within mins, that may be all you need. If you consider that LEO internet projects like SpaceX and Kuiper are targeting 5-10k sats to cover the earth i don't think it's a given that "all non-nato countries" have enough to provide constant coverage, especially if you go back 5-10 years. That probably won't be true in another 5-10 years.

1. Some reports say that they've only been detected recently; referencing multiple undetected occurrences during the Trump presidency; o they've been working for X years already. If they're undetected, they can view into gaps referenced above. If this program has been going on for 5-10 years undetected then it still could have been of value to China/Russia/Whoever owns them.

If you don't have a large enough LEO constellation you will have sporadic and predictable coverage. This is especially true if you want global coverage to monitor a military like the USA with a global presence.

Roughly 25% of the world still lives this way. People can fill in the blanks of what happens to subsistence farmers who get impacted by drought, severe weather, swarm of locust, and other serious factors outside of their control.

Google employees complaining about Tech CEO salaries is the 1% complaining about the 0.01% of the world.

You're missing the variable of how severe the long covid symptoms are. If it's 10% long covid and 10% of those are serious it's only 1% of total covid cases.

Unless you're using a loose definition of "disabled".
