- delfinomThere's an emdash, no human being uses emdashes.
- File in small claims court, they can't ban you for that and they have to send someone out
- I've seen big companies cleave off tens of millions of profitable products on a whim pretty often....
- >but it doesn't force anyone to build an industrialized scam on top of it
I mean almost the entirety of the US healthcare system is a industrialized scam engineered by middlemen
- >I'm sure some conspiratorial thinking would lead people to the conclusion that Apple are secretly tracking and selling data.
Apple in their privacy policy reserves the right to use your data for ads. They aren't secretly tracking, they are telling you so.
But it's no different than Google, who also doesn't sell your data. Just mining it to target ads.
- I have used Roborock for ~7 years and now own 3 of them (different floors/areas). Absolutely no issues.
- No, as someone in the western side of product development things. The problem is studied in the standard MBA course for Strategy, without even China mentioned.
First-mover advantage, which comes from R&D into new markets is short lived no matter what. It is critical for firms that hit new ground to find ways to continue to grow their position and market as soon as they can. Copy-cat firms always always come, even big western megacorps love to come in and push out the little western corps, this is typically what is taught in said MBA class. Depending on the market, making newer products that are cheaper is absolutely something a firm must evaluate if there is a demand for it that can be a position and a threat to them.
It's simply the song and dance of the business lifecycle. It's one of the many reasons why 90% of startups fail.
- In those cases you have to use a micro or purpose built controller chip to negotiate a higher power input while running off the 5V (bootstrap with dead battery mode). There are chips out for it including power regulation built in.
- Eh they are offering a one time payment for autonomy for $2500 which is equal to 4.1 years of paying $50/mo.
It's not a unreasonable cost for development but also maintenance of the self driving system.
- The pedos in charge want to crack down on other pedos getting to their prey first. Prove me wrong.
- Not going to help the tech industry given their largest audience bases are in blue states, who will happily just regulate them to death if the federal government doesn't.
- >Yes, of course AI offered by a company can be sued.
In theoretical sense sure.
In a practical sense? They are invulnerable due to what can be extreme financial obstacles they can put in place. They can drag a court case out until you fold if you haven't found a lawyer willing to do it on contigency.
- >My other stance, which I suspect is probably more controversial, is that I'm not convinced that mental health care is nearly as effective as people think. In general, mental health outcomes for teens are getting markedly worse, and it's not for lack of access. We have more mental health access than we've had previously -- it just doesn't feel like it because the demand has risen even more sharply.
There's also the elephant in the room that mental healthcare, in particular for teens will probably just be compensating for the disease that is social media addiction. Australia has the right idea, banning social media for all goods.
- It's kinda funny how we once in internet culture had "lmgtfy" links because people weren't just searching google instead of asking questions.
But now people are vomiting chatgpt responses instead of linking to chatgpt.
- >Robertson shares Rodriguez’s concerns, pointing to incident reports of the robots pushing neighbors off the sidewalks onto busy streets, colliding with bicyclists and even deterring emergency vehicles.
Sounds like the robots don't do a good job at avoiding
- The problem with PE is only the hyper aggressive and generally terrible ones make the news.
The quiet ones that simply run business well, don't make the news.
There are PE firms that specialize in rescuing distressed companies with potential and turning them around. In many cases not firing anyone and holding onto the form they acquired for a long time.
- It's worse than that. In many cases the dollar stores now get skus of items made for them that are "cheaper" than a sku in Walmart but for a more expensive unit price than Walmart as they shrink the product.
- > if you’re making engineer money,
SV & big tech engineer money.
Majority of engineering fields do not make that kind of money to retire at 50. Comfortable compared to the rest of the country, sure.
- There is a balance.
Too much information density is also disorienting, if not stressing. The biggest problem is finding that balance between multiple kinds of users and even individuals.
- >But you can’t get an adjustment of status if you are in violation of your current visa terms.
This is both right and wrong. Congress passed a law ages ago that grants forgiveness to overstaying spouses once the greencard is issued. The AOS process is allowed.
The hole however is the AOS does not extend your authorized stay if you were out of status when it was filed. So this leaves one vulnerable to the ICE arrests.
However, your AOS can still be processed even when arrested because of the forgiveness granted by law, so it just becomes an issue of having a good lawyer to get a judge to intervene.
