Costco sells fresh food (produce, meats, baked goods) and quite a bit of prepared-on-site ready-to-eat deli choices (soups, salads, tacos, etc...). While sold in larger packages, they don't last any longer and so must…
Setting aside that we're living in a universe that's full of (practically) deterministic processes built over probabilistic components (and which behave sufficiently reliably without any human in the loop), I think the…
Wouldn't your claim be consistent with the Pope's request? Why would he be unhappy about that?
> Also I like credit cards for the rewards, cash back or especially travel points. But also things like extended warranty coverage and other perks. Much of this is funded by inflated interchange fees paid by merchants…
"Serving ads" is just the commercial application. All of the infrastructure used to harness (coordinate? co-opt?) the attention of the many and direct it toward some desired aims will surely end up being a tremendously…
I think we literally have those agents today, albeit implemented in meat rather than silicon. Any particular reason you elect not to use the free-to-you travel agent? Generally they are the same or less expensive and…
Nah - Poincare & Lorentz did quite a bit of groundwork on relativity and its implications before Einstein put it all together.
Because a technically-sophisticated enterprise generally wouldn't pick Jamf unless they were an exclusive Apple house - they'd consider something like VMware's Workspace One (now Omnissa) that works across windows, mac,…
When deployed as a managed device, the OS updates overnight while there's no active user session.
MacOS is well supported by most MDM providers today and iCloud makes it trivial to reprovision the local state on a new device.
It easy to convince a college student with $20 that an ikea chair is good. Artisanal is overkill for plenty of scenarios, and definitely those where time or money are constrained.
"Consent" and "Legitimate Interest" are legal terminology - they're two bases defined in GDPR and have different implications and requirements for balancing user and processor interests. When the author says that…
Sometimes, but if your product is a platform (or anything beyond a niche solution in a broader problem domain) then you're going to spend some time showing people how to make it work best for them.
This chart shows total tax receipts as a percent of GDP, which doesn't seem to address the poster's contention that historically the rich paid a higher share of those receipts through elevated marginal tax rates.
They don't NEED them, but better project estimates can reduce the error bars on other dependent estimates (e.g. estimated sales, estimated ship dates, estimated staffing requirements, etc...), and that might be useful…
Plenty of my former coworkers have evolved into lifelong substantial friendships. What started with smalltalk evolved into conversations over lunch which then afforded after work socializing which then led to actively…
The three arxiv links being summarized are included in the article.
The code was just created to support some broader goal, which it presumably did much of the time. The value of those goals is where the meaning comes from. A chef reflecting on their life would hardly lament that every…
Much of the coding we do is repetitive and exists in the training data, so I think its pretty great if AI can eliminate that toil and liberate the meat to focus on the creative work.
Looks like he's updated the text, striking through "robustness" and substituting "adaptability"
More generally, what would _any_ collapsed society or extinct evolutionary branch have to say? "Not much", outside of what they'd contributed to any surviving lines. To your point, whether we're winning or losing very…
Don't disagree with any of that, and I don't want to minimize the seriousness of the issues you've cited, but that kind of reinforces the implication of the scorecard? People are persistently presented with perils…
There's nothing marxist(?) about the industry of surveillance capitalism. Its just a regular segment of data-driven advertising and marketing optimization that instruments our technology and observes user behavior…
DNA can migrate between the nucleus and the mitochondria (and vice versa) so its not entirely black & white.
Is it an option for your simple store to not collect data about subjects without their consent? Seems like an easy win. Your choice to use frameworks subsidized by surveillance capitalism doesn't need to preclude my…
