The problem is that different unemployment statistics measure different things, and the headline number often gets interpreted as "everyone who wants a job but doesn't have one"
We seem to have gotten very good at building marketplaces for standardized things and surprisingly bad at matching people when competence is hard to measure in advance
Yes, it's minimally invasive rather than noninvasive
A device like this only really changes outcomes if people can actually afford to wear one continuously, not just during periods when they're already at higher risk
Sorry about your friend. This kind of news hits very differently when you know someone who might have benefited from it. Hopefully continuous ketone monitoring becomes as ordinary and accessible as CGMs are becoming.
I miss when "using the web" meant enhancing a document rather than replacing it with 4MB of JS and a dashboard
The hard part isn't converting dates, it's remembering which calendar is socially relevant in which context
This is exactly the kind of optimization rabbit hole I enjoy
Which makes me wonder how geographically uneven this "shortage" actually is
Yeah, the enforcement problem seems almost absurd compared to the scale of the ocean
That's the scary part. By the time the data is unambiguous enough for everyone to agree the stock has collapsed, you're already dealing with the collapse rather than preventing it
I can imagine fishermen noticing the change long before it showed up as an empty shelf at a supermarket
We have apparently reached the stage of the attention economy where even sardines can experience a demand shock because someone branded eating only one food for three days as a "diet"
You think you're choosing between 20 different products, but underneath they may all be the same device talking to the same insecure backend. At that point "just research before you buy" isn't really useful advice
I would not count on the market alone. Like customers do not always choose the technically best or cheapest option
Yeah, I suspect the $200K check would be the cheapest line item in the whole thing
The library analogy works (for me), but the uncomfortable part is that most "open" models are closer to receiving a compiled binary than receiving the library
Funny how the idea only seems to become practical once you have a literal warehouse problem worth of old RAM
The funny part is that a 1000x increase in RAM somehow doesn't make a modern computer feel 1000x more luxurious
The impressive part is not really reusing old RAM, its making the economics work despite the extra chip, software support and operational complexity
