Are people on grindr mostly normal or mostly freaky?

Can investors remain irrational long enough for OpenAI to remain solvent?

The archive runs Apache Hadoop and Apache Accumulo. All data is stored on HDFS, textual content is duplicated 3 times among servers in 2 datacenters and images are duplicated 2 times. Both datacenters are in Europe, with OVH hosting at least one of them.

To avoid detection, archive.today runs via a botnet that cycles through countless IP addresses, making it quite difficult for grumpy webmasters to stop their sites getting scraped. Access to paywalled sites is through logins secured via unclear means, which need to be replenished constantly: here’s the creator asking for Instagram credentials. Finally, the serving of the website is also subject to a perpetual game of cat and mouse: “I can only predict that there will be approximately one trouble with domains per year and each fifth trouble will result in domain loss.” As of today, archive.today still works, but users are redirected to archive.md.

Robin Hood.

I wouldn’t want to attract his/her enemies.

I ordered steak tartare. It was ok, but tasted so much better after 5 mins on my friends hotrock.

On a similar train of thought, K2-18b

Communism is fragile. It does work at the very small scale (a kibbutz) but the rotation of power requires that everyone in the chain needs to relinquish it at some time.

Central planning isn’t great either, but maybe that can be offloaded to a dispassionate computer.

The point you were making that communism = bad stands.

But the post was about socialism (and misrepresenting what it is).

WLIIA has the advantage of editing out the sketches that don’t land. SNL cannot. That’s why i say that “the best of SNL” is a preferable watch. No hating.

The problem here is that socialism is not communism. Under socialism compensation is based on individual contribution to work. This doesn’t imply an equal share.

This. Academics are avoiding the US. Job seekers are looking elsewhere. Suppliers are not sourcing from the US because it is unstable.

Are you not supposed to treat it like the NFL and just watch the highlight reels?

Nothing against the comedians on SNL but who’s line is it anyway has a much higher hit rate.

China seems to be open sourcing it’s AI research. It’s US capitalism vs the world.

Right! Which of you fuckers made … mmm nom … these … nom nom … really tasty fairy cakes?

Compliance is calculated with previous years costs

No, that’s just what you spent last year.

Marketing is VERY easy to assign a dollar amount to.

It’s easy to see how much it costs. It’s very hard to determine exactly how much additional revenue any particular campaign creates.

They know what you’re worth

Pick anyone at the C-Level. How much revenue do they bring in? What’s the ROI of a CFO?

ultimately its all built on backs of people who have actually contributed to this world

Being highly unethical doesn’t make it a scam.

Louis argued the opposite and still got cancelled.

Your examples are all commoditized and measurable. Many roles are not this quantifiable.

There is NO JOB in which you are paid to do something of no financial value.

Compliance, marketing, social outreach, branding.

Putting a $ amount on these and other similar roles is very difficult.

But I agree, if the value added is known to be zero or negative then usually no-one is paid to do it.

There are no unprofitable positions or tasks.

Not when they are set up, but they can become unprofitable over time, and get overlooked.
