> I reported the repo to GitHub and the recruiter to LinkedIn. So far nothing has changed and the code is still up.

Oh, Microsoft.

This is why we have UL listings in USA and Canada. So you don’t have to rely on “common sense” which is notoriously unreliable.

The problem with consignment is that the consignor wants the maximum price but the consignee wants a quick sale because 10% of a few bucks more means very little and they have to hold the inventory.

Stanford had shares in Google because they had the rights to the PageRank algorithm.

They sold their shares in 2005

No it's not. It's about teaching letter forms to kids.

There's a reason why he's trying to reserve 30% of the IPO for retail investors.

Elon, the guy that will ban anyone on X at the drop of a hat, opposes censorship?

Comical.

> It would be wise to use all of the information channels available to reach as many people as possible.

How about their website, which is accessible to everyone because it doesn't require you to log in?

Interestingly I found the long s annoying and I had to think every time I saw it, but I quickly got used to and could read it naturally after a few paragraphs.

I tested this, and if I have slide-to-type disabled, and slide my fingers, then every letter I slide over will highlight, but only the letter I let my finger up on will show up in the text input box.

If I don't have slide-to-type enabled, then only the letter I press down on will highlight, and what shows up in the text input box is pretty inconsistent for horizontally adjacent letters.

> I'm having a hard time articulating this but AI-generated code feels like progress and efficiency, while AI-generated articles and posts feel low-effort and make the dead internet theory harder to dismiss.

I think it's the size of the audience that the AI-generated content is for, is what makes the difference. AI code is generally for a small team (often one person), and AI prose for one person (email) or a team (internal doc) is often fine as it's hopefully intentional and tailored. But what's even the point for AI content (prose or code) for a wide audience? If you can just give me the prompt and I can generate it myself, there's no value there.

The problem is that they drive out local grocery stores that were actually pretty good, have terrible safety records, and food sanitation.

Last Week Tonight did an episode on them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4QGOHahiVM

I toured that building when I was looking for a place, and just so happened to be there when there was recess or something. The loud noise of kids was definitely a significant factor in me not signing a lease.

Yeah, this sounds very similar to people who vote as if they're temporarily embarrassed billionaires. "There's a minuscule chance my work will become super lucrative for decades, so I want a super long copyright" when they don't realize that a much shorter copyright can help them creatively in the near term.

I don't know if he wrote it via AI, but he repeats himself over and over again. It could have been 1/3 the length and still conveyed the same amount of information.

For those surprised by the cost, this is an Issey Miyake product, and the price is in-line with that. It's no different than the $800+ Hermes leather Apple Watch straps.

Thats only because it’s so hot in Arizona they want to sun to set earlier so it’s cooler in summer evenings.
