But ultimately that strategy is good for the consumer right? In this context, if Google is going to give me the recipe without having to scroll through the story, that seems like a win to me. The ad-revenue driven Internet of web 2.0 is fin

That's true. For context, I reside in Canada where good tech jobs fit the definition of the low end of upper class (250k CAD) where I am not sure the same is true in the USA? Regardless my definition is wrong.

Are there caps on how much you could sell during the tender offer? I had one come through my email ~3 years ago for a company I previously worked for. IIRC it allowed you to sell up to 10% of your stock.

It is awful, but at the same time this isn't new. People have for a long time used Google searches to self diagnose their issues. ChatGPT just makes that process ever easier now. From my viewpoint it speaks more to a problem of the hea

Does anyone know what type of camera the stream uses? Or recommendations of an outdoor camera/microphone that could accomplish the same thing? I'd love to do this sort of thing in our rural backyard

Scott Galloway had a podcast episode about this topic just over a week ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oeepx2ZLrCA I used to scoff at the idea of the AI-bubble (or any recently called-for tech bubble) being like the 90

When searching something non-programming related, I do. For example, I'm building an addition on our home. Searching for building materials, ideas, and any building science questions I have, I often find LLMs lacking. Even then, maybe

Yes, I know the issue you're talking about. The fix I've found is to always maintain the same grip on the wheel. If you want to change it up then yank the wheel a bit to let it know you're there and then do so. I'm surpr

I've never heard of this so I've got a silly question - I own a Subaru Outback base model with adaptive cruise and lane keep. What is the difference that this offers?

I'm curious how much better the printers are these days as I'd love to get another one. I had a Wanhao Duplicator i3 in 2015 and found it required a lot of tinkering and calibration every time I wanted to use it. I ended up sellin

Agreed, I tried for years to self motivate to go to the gym/workout at home. Often complaining of back discomfort. I found a personal trainer about a year ago and haven't looked back. So many body ache issues have gone away by str

IME (having gone through 3 layoffs), you can squeeze a lot out of fearful employees. I haven't be able to see that sustained over the course of 12+ months though.
