This tweet is sort of misleading, the docs suggest this is basically them using an API to provide AI features: https://help.dropbox.com/view-edit/privacy-settings-dropbox-... > Your files within Dropbox are sent to

Everyone knows what they are doing when gambling etc But nowadays crypto is being pitched as an investment to the layperson who doesn’t understand the risks and isn’t being told those risks by the exchanges. It’s those folks the SEC is tryi

This is just another dark pattern. All you need is freezing, it’s instant to freeze/unfreeze and required to be free by law. They just hide the option on the site and make it seem like you need to pay for “locking”. I end up having to

(parent author) Thanks for everyone's responses. I think there are some solid examples that folks provided that definitely give me something to mull over.

Yes I know that traditionally media has been used for propaganda, but I'm surprised by the reactions in this thread and those who find what seems like fairly objective reporting as biased. Can someone show me a story from the NYT world

Or we disallow its use so it can’t be prescribed and instead the Dr gives them Paxlovid.

What are you heating with specifically? This is an important distinction to make. By omitting it your original comment seems to be purposely touting a lack of concern for personal emissions reduction.

He was likely referring to HQ in Verona, Wisconsin. I've been there, can confirm it sure looks like the middle of nowhere :)

Though this is a common issue, it is certainly bothersome when someone _wrongly_ assumes you are experiencing the XY problem and demands a lot of unnecessary information before helping you with something.

There are societal reasons why this won’t be accepted by the public. It’s sort of analogous to allowing the rich to pay for a higher spot on an organ donor waitlist, in theory it is economically efficient but in practice it is unfair and wi

If you can pay for an alternative I’d strongly consider it. Blown insulation makes a mess of the attic. Makes it really hard to work up there if you need to get access, potentially blocks your soffits and decreases airflow, and makes it mor

Any particular strategy you used? I do think a “small” loan of a million dollars feels at odds with “self made”.

Anecdotally, in the last year it seems I run into a lot more distracted drivers on their phones. Generally when I see someone driving erratically, not maintaining speed, swerving, etc, I later notice they are heads down on a phone, sometime

In the case of a multi-user machine, e.g. in a library, you expect there to be low privilege users with filesystem access. This bug introduces a way for them to do privilege escalation and potentially run code as root, which you did not int

No almost never. That’s the job of the CI build. If the code doesn’t even run then it should be caught by the tests. If there are no tests that would catch it then they must be written before passing code review.

Yes, juvenile rats respond better to tickling and tickling just after weaning will get the best results. Starting tickling past 3 months of age is harder and there is less research on it. That said, some rats just don't respond well to

Sounds like your market value is ~100k, because that is your top offer. If you show them your top offer and they won't match it, well nothing else will convince them either. Personally I'd ask them to match and be willing to walk

That is a straw man. This is not my definition of crime, I was thinking things like money laundering, tax evasion, ransomware payments, and blackmarket purchases. I'm genuinely not sure what a use case for unregulated financial activit

While it appears at first glance to be terrible, it is a tradeoff that is possibly worth making. My first year of undergrad was spent living in a "forced triple" (3 people in a dorm room meant for 2). I would have much preferred a

The S&P 500 index already meets your needs. In order to qualify for the index a company must have positive earnings. This disqualifies a bunch of tech companies that may or may not ever succeed financially... See https://stoc
