And to some quite extreme people any kind of government that is not solely based on religious wisdom expressed via the clergy is an affront to God (to Allah) - an extremely serious crime worthy of uprisings and…
It would be very strange if they didn't try things like these. It's actually a pretty competent government that knows how to look for itself, the very fact that Salafism hasn't yet destroyed them (the Saudi Family) is a…
Not sure if everyone knows just how easy making something like this is. This kind of an app takes less than one week to develop, using the OpenAI function calling API.
How do solar flares burn satellites? I thought they just mess up the ionosphere and inhibit communication.
You can just patch the call then, right? I.e. turn it into NOPs
You're right, but I don't see how we could not have those things with the copyright laws as they stand and people being what they are. Maybe it could be a little bit better, but not substantially better.
YouTube wasn't killed and thrived as a platform throughout the process. Meanwhile YT ads funded the lawsuits and negotiations, with a surplus. It is pretty much a solved problem now. This is as peaceful as it gets when…
Much less impressive, though still useful: ChatGPT is an awesome movie subtitle translator. Only very unusual phrases need to be corrected, often there are no such cases. There are projects on GitHub that automate the…
I've always had a problem with admission rates, since they obviously depend on self-selection (and supply of schools). Germany is a good example here, they have a wide spectrum of schools starting already past primary…
That may be it, under-supply of schools. What's required there besides perfect, or near perfect SAT scores? Also, I've always wondered why so few Americans decide to study in Europe. I understand some might not be able…
> Ivy league students don't get there by themselves. A life-time of adults help you. See, this is what I do not get. I got without excessive effort into a top university in Europe. I never had to be taken care nearly…
It's hardly in ruin, has more cash on the balance sheet than, for example, all the help sent to Ukraine, military and humanitarian. It's just that making a shit ton of money ain't actually that fun because your job is…
The first point is more important. The second point mostly helps with getting the first point done. When other things get stable you can adjust things at your job, or just quit and do something else entirely. Someone in…
Oh no! Talk to me when the corporate structure kicks you out with zero day notice.
That very well may be true, but what's wrong with trying to cheat the system and do only the fun part? Clearly some people manage to do just that. I generally don't care about making the business fly, I care about what…
Looks about right for Google, but then which software company doesn't look like that?
It's cool.
I'm not confusing (the market cap and the book value), but rather simplifying things on purpose.
Not quite. Your deposits are usually redeemable on a short notice, while most of bank's assets are usually loans and mortgages and other long term debt.
> Banks work a bit differently, btw, they should also have more $ assets than liabilities, but there's generally no direct 1:1 link as described above. The total difference between assets and liabilities is the common…
Russia. All the asian russians are very much treated as second class citizens, from the top (deciding where to draft mobiks from) to the bottom (a much worse case of what americans today would call police brutality /…
He never worked in Apple, no?

Uh, no, private property is subjogated to national interest. Personal freedom is subjogated to national interest (you may be conscripted). In all countries. The only way for things not to fall into a terrible state of…
