I am not sure what streaming service you are using but it sounds awful. I have not encountered anything like what you describe on Apple Music.

I am not sure if this factors into it but an interesting difference between dairy and eggs and most other types of farms is that those are highly perishable. Grain can be stored and released gradually to even out market gyrations but dairy

It’s not logical. He is a malignant narcissist and a sociopath. A very sick man.

Health insurance in America is—quite uniquely—the deep end of the pool in the whole capitalism v humanity conundrum. I think a lot of Americans feel that viscerally and the widespread support for Luigi was symbolic of how truly fucked up th

It’s a function of relative scale. If you’re a Fortune 100 CEO there is still a point where you would quarterback a sale, but that would be like… a $10 billion+ contract with the federal government.

The point of group projects is not to make the best project, it’s to learn to navigate working with other people and all the messiness that entails. Soft skill development and the slackers are a feature not a bug. Doing group projects solo

I just read this fact in Hail Mary, but it doesn’t fully add up to me. If you fall flat on your back and wind yourself (phrenospasm) that triggers an immediate suffocation response which has nothing to do with CO2 and seemingly everything t

Canada is not a third world hell hole, but our tipping culture is just as bad as the US. Perhaps even worse.

I doubt it’s an effective channel for promoting liberalism (or even rationality). In North America at least the folks most engaged on Facebook tend to be media illiterate and reactionary leaning. The smart people left long ago.

They were just being jocular.

I was talking about this with someone the other day… How many real terrorism threats have been preceded by the terrorist telegraphing their intentions with a phone call beforehand? My prior is that this number is essentially 0 and we should

Actually no I can’t recall the last time I tried to ride a bike in the snow. But I know inherently that snow itself would be alright, but snow is almost always accompanied by a layer of ice below, which simply can’t be fine. This is the cas

The author’s point was more nuanced than ‘tool bad’.

Without studded tires it’s very difficult to ride a bike on snow or ice.

What does it mean to be ‘in intelligence’ in this context?

This is a bucket of slop.

What is wrong with you. This isn’t a customer/employee thing at all. That’s, like, the entire point of Burning Man.

Of course. My point is that your profit still decreases as you approach max usage, ceteris parabis. It may be acceptable but it is less. Your costs are variable and your revenue is fixed (at least on a unit basis).

Within each tier, each marginal token is an expense with no marginal revenue to offset. So yes. The platonic ideal for any subscription business model is zero usage.

Not when their customers are paying a flat rate subscription.

100%. Trump’s going to do his tariff thing and we all understand that. But the sovereignty threats were an outrage, and most of the Canadian response is motivated by a sense of deep betrayal.

Please say more; this is breaking my brain.

Yea. It’s greed, pure and simple. And also a major misstep on the part of the inference providers to offer these subsidized plans and not anticipate these slop mills.

That as well. But everyone reading GP’s posts knows in their bones that it’s unsustainable. It’s economically unsustainable and environmentally unsustainable, and in that context it strikes me as pure hoarding behaviour. Taking as much as t
