Hotel wants to avoid undesirable guests. Seems reasonable.
Convert some to cheap residential. Solves both problems: affordable housing as well as rebalancing supply and demand for office space.
Why participate? Why not just skip any site that wants a photo of ID? Also, those sites run massive liability risk for the inevitable data breaches that will occur.
There ARE regulations for sure. But they exist to protect the population at large. For example, food safety laws were not created out of government hostility but rather because food was unsafe. Read (or read about) The…
Then those people are on the sidelines like every other citizen. Play the game or be a spectator. Nobody gets to have it both ways.
If businesspeople want to get involved in politics, they should have the courage to run for office like anybody else. Lurking on the sidelines and waiving money around is really lame and laughable.
At the end of the day, the processor can only do Turing operations: assign values to variables (registers, memory locations, storage), loops, bitwise operations, and conditionals. Whether the source code is python,…
What other industry regularly acts in such bad faith with respect to claims made? In the securities industry, material misstatement of fact lands people in jail.
Tech is supposed to be a tool that serves other products ends, not an end in itself. At this point, tech biz leaders are massively over-reaching and trying to influence the rest of us: muxk, thiel, Karp, etc. So it…
Gee, what an optimistic outlook you have. Do you think the truly creative innovators in the fields of tech, science, engineering, and art get out of bed in the morning believing that they are just grimly marching down a…
Wearables are creepy. Please stop pushing “products” that nobody wants.
Forecasts are a thought exercise, not the revelation of something foretold. Best thing to do is think of the outcome you wish for and then try to take whatever actions you can to help make it so. Like with climate…
1. so is everyone who is subject to a corporate mandate... but... 2. this may be ok. A good way to learn a piece of software or tool or process is to play with it. We learn lots of general knowledge through play and…
Carpet has been made for millennia. Scotchguard is new and toxic. So just make the carpets without the stain protection junk. Frankly the carpet factories will do more business as people will want to replace their…
Both try to maximize engagement. Both (soon to be) ad supported. Both driven by algorithms that show the user what they want to see.
Like dot matrix printer fonts
I’m not sure anyone needs to break anything. I’m not sure this is a commercially viable business once all of the VC and foreign funding scaffolding goes away.
If they produce large negative externalities like data centers do, then yes absolutely. In a normal market, tech cos would have to pay for the messes they make (the negative externalities). With so much speculative…
You can’t determine age from a face scan. And it’s trivial to hold up a photo of an older person. Seriously if a website wants an image of your government ID or facial image, maybe ask yourself if you really need to…
Isn’t this sort of like saying you know how to use a web browser?
Good point regarding “ survivorship bias and groupthink” here.
Remember Web 2.0? If not, check Wikipedia. The idea was that everyone could create mashup web apps to do anything thanks to open standards and free APIs. Where did that dream go? Do you think private companies are going…
Trump is the only one convicted of felonies and found liable for civil wrongdoing. No other president violated laws (and please don’t start with Monica Lewinsky or that time Obama wore a tan suit…)
Sloppy.
Clearly YMMV but I have been very happy with DDG since switching over a couple of years ago. Maybe we are searching in different domains. From my experience, no ads and less ai slop, and fine search quality.
