It's rich for a TV exec to call YouTube 'slop'. Compared to traditional TV, where 1/3rd or more of your time is spent watching ads for prescription drugs or fake silver coins, the YouTubers I watch put much more thought

I don't really sample them, but if I want to know more about a subject I will normally ask for a book recommendation to go along with it.

I'm wondering if authors are making the same mistakes that the music industry did with Napster and kazaa. Using AI has led to more book purchases for me. If I discover and enjoy a book via AI I'm more inclined to buy it. The cats

Watching the last of the WWII veterans pass away brings me great sadness. Growing up they were always these men and women of such great legend it felt like they would be around forever.

The difference is that China has a dictator who needs to continually prove to the Chinese people why they shouldn't overthrow him, while the US has a dictator whose democratic election gives him the permission to do whatever the hell h

Nobody would question that a painting could lie, or be (literally) colored by it's creator. Photographs should be no different.

Probably a good number are scalpers, but also some really disorganized people too. You can get stuck with extra theme camp tickets if you're not careful. If you're part of a theme camp you normally buy as many tickets as youre all

Are you implying that living in the suburbs is racist?

Great. The super rich can and should donate their after tax money to the charities of their choosing. The rest of us should work on creating efficient and effective government programs so that tax dollars go to where we vote them to. I&#x27

Target, at least around here is doing whatever it can to keep your from coming into the store. Sometimes the prices are higher than if you did a pickup, the store is a disorganized disaster and the checkout lines are massive. Target is no b

I have been wondering this myself. I am getting repeated email from Firestone and their unsubscribe webpage is completely broken. The 'submit' button doesn't work and the check boxes are actually just text inputs.

Thats great that we both agree that we want safe streets and value autonomy! Glad I could change your mind. Now let's work on incentivizing people who don't drive safely to do so without impacting the liberties of those who do.

Safety from law breakers (speeders) is not a right in the US. 'Safety' isn't even a right. I'm not sure why you'd elevate someone's safety from a specific thing to a right yet make a person's autonomy a li

What about my neighbors who might be child abductors or rapists? Or the animals, like a beer or eagle who might fly away with my kid? There's always something to be afraid of for people who are afraid.

I constantly see people say RTO is driven by landlords but Ive never seen any data to back this up. Is there really any proof to this or is it just an opinion that's restated over and over? For context, I work remotely and will never r

Harold Dodge said "You can't inspect quality into a system". The father of quality assurance, Edward Deming, understood this when he taught quality control to companies in post war Japan. The US learned these lessons during W

I totally agree. I think we're still in the golden age of YouTube and YouTube red w/ YouTube music is totally worth the $15 or whatever I pay every month. I have YouTube on in the background for hours and use it to look stuff up a

Even as someone who has been a dev for 5 years I only know him as that gross guy who likes free software. Note that 'gross guy' is the main point here. He has failed to communicate any nuance to his message. Another person might h

Everyone is still there hanging out in the camping section. Riding a bike or walking on the wet playa is super tough as it cakes everywhere and super slippery. Not there now but was there when I rained a bunch in 2014.

I'm from a state with a long history of manufacturing and aerospace. The people who make F-35s are paid at least 75k without any qualifications and can take home much more than that if they choose to work OT. Definitely no need for low

This will surely be the first time a CoC changes any community for the better. /s Nobody cares about a CoC and people will do what they will regardless of what the CoC says.
