I'm not convinced the "Gemini all the things" strategy was the right move with Workspace, they rolled it out so fast which indicates that UX research was likely rushed or bypassed completely. Had they conducted their typical extensive UXR process they would have discovered that the features are not very useful being baked into the suite.

Now where I do think there is opportunity is in building out the standalone Gemini app, as ChatGPT has proven with their Teams product that there is business value in having a dedicated chat UI for your business. We are currently subscribed to ChatGPT for Teams and use it every day across product and engineering, there isn't a need for it to be integrated directly into our productivity suite UX, but pulling data out from the suite (e.g Google Drive) into the chat UI is helpful. Organizing project folders, custom GPTs etc also hold value for us.
The population of New Orleans is less than 10% of the population of Louisiana. Also, I'm not aware of a single metric by which Louisiana is considered to be last place in K-12 education in 2024. State PISA scores are basically on par with California, spending per student is higher than Nevada. It's certainly no Massachusetts, I've seen it ranked around 40th out of 50 on different metrics, but I think you're revealing some ignorance in assuming Louisiana's school system is ranked last in the nation.
Well, we did TRY banning alcohol, but it didn't go that well. We do at least generally attempt to prevent children from consuming alcohol, though.

Should we ban alcohol? I think people should stop drinking it, but in general I don't think the sale of things that may be harmful in some ways should be entirely prohibited, it would just be good if we minimized the amount of potentially harmful ingredients in our general food supply. e.g. if someone wanted to buy/sell Red Dye No. 3 on its own I don't think that would be a big concern.
Lol this article doesn't even include the best part which were the pictures the scammer was sending. It's like 10 low res photos of Brad Pitt in a hospital bed, I think some of them lifted from movies. I don't even think AI really played an important role here.

I think it’s pretty clear, a system where a family can’t guarantee their offsprings success is one where the family is unable to do anything to improve their children’s fates.

You could get a step closer to that and integrate it into your DNS: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

The upside is that it would go beyond your browser to anything on your machine that makes a DNS request.

>Employees should have a vested interest in the financial success of their company, and an ownership stake.

How do you engineer this, do you think? If every burgerflipper at Wendy's owned stock, the performance of that stock isn't connected to performance of their job at all. They can fuck off completely, and the stock either rises or falls. Even if we tie it not to traded stock, but some sort of profit-sharing of that one franchise, there are 40 or 50 workers, minimum, all of whom have been trained to coast along and hope someone else has to do the real work. One could hope they (and the other workers) would learn that their contribution is essential before it goes out of business, but that's absurdly unrealistic.

>That's how it used to be "in the good old days" when folks had both pensions and stock tying them to the long-term success of the business.

It was never that way for any significant fraction of the workforce. Sure, if you worked for one of the Fortune 100 companies, already wildly successful. But anyone struggling at their city's papermill or textile mill or whatever, there wasn't stock and pensions. And at the biggest companies, unions managed to wedge their foot in the door to the point that you had UAW workers and the like quitting the week after lunch on Tuesday because they'd made quota. It was good for them, personally, of course, but to the long term detriment of the very businesses that employed them. They too, despite their stock and pensions and vested interest int he financial success of their companies and ownership stakes, just sort of coasted along and let it all fall apart.

The grunts, it turns out, are rarely all that interested in their own vesting.

It's not free expression when someone else chooses what everyone sees.

Threads is notorious for de-boosting posts with external links. This is a deliberate choice which filters facts and external references out of the conversation.

Or you can just delay the feed of posters you don't like. They arrive at every debate a day late, while your favourites go through immediately. And to more people.

And so on.

There's nothing free about any of this. It's covert behaviour and sentiment modification.

With a newspaper you get an editorial angle, so you can choose it if you want it.

Social media pretends to be a neutral conduit. But it's carefully curated and manipulated, and you don't know how or why.
Someone was (incidentally?) ddos'ed on Netlify last year and was served a 104k bill. The fees were waved in the end, but the caveat remains on all these free services that you pay by bandwidth.

I... said nothing like that at all? Not sure how you interpret that from what I wrote. (Also btw: average salaries for works are NOT GETTING SMALLER and I remain absolutely dumbfounded that people continue to believe this lie). Rephrasing:

I said salaries in competition trend to market price points, and market price points for executives are set by externalities like "IPO windfalls" that don't exist for workers.
It's amazing and pathetic to me that the overriding sentiment here is mocking the woman for being duped. Just absolute zero empathy.
in capitalism, prices are literally how rationing happens. the theory is that it distributes the resources to those who can make them most productive. here, theoretically the water will be used more productively by chipmakers than by farmers, so the chipmakers will be able to out-bid the farmers and the water will be allocated to them. this is the "invisible hand" of the free market.
I gave blood plenty of times, i.e. 'skin'. If one day doctors told me "oh by the way, we made the Polio vaccine using some of your blood, but didn't ask permission", I can confidently say I wouldn't mind. I'm not going to pretend the opportunistic feigned victimhood conjured around that case has any merit, as if giving a cell sample is something so unimaginable, that nobody else could possibly know how they would feel about it, unless it happened to them.
One benefit of lowering executive pay could be that you might accidentally hire someone who has used your product at some point in the last decade. They might even have a shot at approaching the same level of retail experience expertise as random people on the street!
Doesn't Photos.app on iOS sync with iCloud OOTB?
I'd argue the two are like comparing apples and oranges. Yes, there is a competition of ideas, but accepted scripture is changed so much more slowly than society itself that it cannot exploit the zeitgeist of any one trend. More importantly, it doesn't change differently to each individual to maximize addictive interaction. The slowness is a feature. I'm not saying there aren't some problems with religion being exploitative, but the responsiveness is what makes social media a much more effective manipulator.
The government’s banned owning media with too much reach before, placing limits on audience size per owner.

We no longer know how to actually govern the country, but it used to be entirely possible.
basically go back to old SMF/php forums with maximum 100s of known people. I thought about this recently… It was really better times.

Even decentralized mastodon is too big and it makes it far too easy to post BS and hateful / unhealthy stuff. Plus there are far too many posts you can’t relate to or just don’t want to read („algorithm“ or not), without even mentioning the bubble effect, much worse there than on X to be honest.

Smaller communities which you can connect to /disconnect from plus a good combo of RSS feeds to get news. That’s probably it.
There was a certain NHS fiasco in Britain ... Apart from that, Germany has still some data protection left and Germans like their privacy. Which is the real factor that prohibits large data collection brokerages.

Additionally, if every country goes into the digital fluff economy, nothing real is produced and you are even more dependent on China (and Russia for resources).
I think we'd have to carefully define what a 'social network' is. In my opinion, YT is not a social network. The UGC parts of Amazon.com, like reviews, do not make it a social network either. YT is a broadcast / streaming service with some small layer of UGC (I say small because, honestly, if the entire comment section was eliminated I don't think anyone would miss it, it's meme worthy bad in most cases.)

Or maybe it's just me and don't use it that way and others do? I subscribe to some things, watch a lot of videos mostly has a lurker and almost never even dip into the comments. I have exactly 0 connections with people I know on YT. It's more of a modern television channel than anything in my case.
The reason it's free and with unlimited bandwidth is that it's not.

Unless you stay very small, you'll eventually get on the radar of the sales team and you'll realize the service is neither unlimited nor free. In fact, you'll likely have to look at a 5 or 6-figure contract to remain on the service.

Posting pro-Palestinian content on Facebook will get your account terminated for "supporting terrorism". The pro-western censorship regime on FB is extremely strong. US lawmakers specifically cited the amount of pro-Palestinian content on TikTok as why they were banning the app.

America is still on the gold standard in that you can theoretically exchange an American Gold Eagle worth $2800 for $50 at a bank. What the end of the Bretton Woods is really means is that the government is unwilling to sell you an oz of gold for $50 anymore. A law that mandates the government to shoot itself in the foot is a bad law.

It's not countries can't otherwise be fiscally conservative. Germany's debt to GDP ratio is about the same as it was 20 years ago.

I made the same switch, and have also loved it. I also much prefer the interface to Gmail's. If you've got one account and want to configure a bunch of addresses to go to the same inbox, it's a no brainer. But if you're actually maintaining multiple users, it is not cheap.

Side note it was weird: I found actually signing up to Fastmail was physically difficult. Like, pushing the button. Once I had the account, it was super easy and felt like floating downstream.
While it is definitely unfortunate that his origin was involved in this, this is one of two general arguments you hear in Germany and to some degree Switzerland whenever any kind of change is suggested. "We've always done it like this here!" or "We've never done it like this here!" pick one. Where "here" refers to anything from the country down to the department, depending on the topic.
She doesn't have very athletic parents, so she regularly exceeds my expectations for her, but she's not a particular standout otherwise!

Probably the more relevant factor: we replaced one of cars with a cargo bike when she was 15 months old, so she does 1500+ miles a year "on" a bike, and a tiny fraction of that in a car (we live in a totally car-centric US city, so this is pretty out of the norm). Bikes are the fabric of her daily life so she is really, really motivated to spend time on a bike.

Consider that if someone secretly had our modern AI tech 10-15 years ago, they could have easily scammed a lot of people out of money in romance scams.

Now consider that the future isn’t equally distributed and some people are literally still living at the level of 10-15 years ago. Wow, there is a lot of opportunity for scammers out there, though the window will be closing every year as the world catches up, and no one will trust images, videos and voices anymore.
Glymphatic system: Waste clearance system in the brain. More active during sleep.

Slow vasomotion: Squeezing and relaxing motion that pumps fluid through glymphatic system

Norepinephrine-mediated: Norepinephrine is a signaling chemical. They discovered that norepinephrine is key to the signaling chain that drives slow vasomotion in the glymphatic system during sleep.

In short, they found that norepinephrine signaling pulses in a specific system trigger a pumping motion that helps with waste clearance from the brain in sleep. They also found that a sleep medication suppresses that norepinephrine signaling, reducing waste clearance during sleep.

As always, be careful interpreting these studies. The amount of medications used in these studies tends to be very high to elicit the desired effect, so we don't know if doses used medicinally in humans cause the same effect or if that effect is significant.
I hate to break it to you, but a lot of that difference comes down to labeling and disclosure requirements. If the Italian fries don't even have to disclose what type of oil they use, they probably also don't have to disclose the oil stabilizers and seasonings they use.

Water in the fabs gets mostly recycled. There’s an old slidedeck from Intel’s Chandler (Phoenix metro area suburb) fab about it. This includes discharging what isn’t recycled to refill ground aquifer.

From what I understand, the area is more seismically stable, so the special building structures and equipment for more seismically active places are not needed.

There is the presence of ASU. The ASU president had been hired a while back to implement a very different kind of university system focused on broadening (not gate keeping) higher education and building up innovation. This includes both improving graduation rates in the traditional tracks and expanding non-traditional educational tracks. I don’t know if all those were considered by TSMC; they like hiring engineers straight out of college and training them in their methods.
That wouldn't solve most of the issues I indicated.

See my reply about the object tag. Suffers from lack of press I guess.
Oh, they were dictated to. It was simply implied. "Let us repress our people and reclaim our neighbors, and the pipes will stay open."

Russia used that NG to bully and dictate to it's neighbors like Poland, Hungary, Romania, and others. Germany learned to keep it's mouth shut. Divide and conquer.

It's very likely that arrangement would have still been in place had Russia's "special military operation" succeeded. Kyiv would have fallen in days, and by the time Germany and the others felt any sense of unease, it would have all been fait accompli. "Oh well, wasn't us, that's a Ukrainian matter." and life would have gone on for Germany industry.

Only that's not what happened, and Germany and the others were forced to take a good long look at things and the ugliness behind it. Poland had been ringing the alarm bell for years, and they were right.

Other notes:
- There's a lot wrong with how the German economy doesn't reward risk, and that stifles their innovation. Economics Explained on YouTube has done a few videos on this, and it's more than just Germany. I think there's ways to German prosperity that doesn't require just another Google however, just as the U.S. economy isn't solely dependent on it's tech giants for it's GDP gains.

- The "useless F35" argument is a tired and uninformed one which fails to understand much about how these platforms are developed and why they're developed in the first place. I'll direct you to a link here, which, while hardly academic, is spot on with it's examples and references. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxVsS9ZNUOU
(TL;DW: Every plane goes through this stuff. No, drones won't replace everything; that ignores the role of the strike aircraft. And if the F35 is so bloody useless, why is China pursuing so many versions of their own? Because regardless of what the internet peanut gallery thinks, warfighters around the world know exactly what they need.)

IANAH but I'm not sure one can really separate "treatment of the colonists by the British Empire" from the struggle between Dissenters and the Established Church. Yes, Puritans were relatively few in number but they were influential. Later colonists would have had to fit themselves into the society created by the Puritans, if nothing else by constituting their own power base in opposition to the Puritan one. They are still part of our foundational myth and buckle-shoe-wearing caricatures of them /still/ go up all over the country every single November.

FD&C Red 40 (Allura Red AC): Linked to hyperactivity in children in some studies, although evidence is mixed. Theoretical concerns regarding disruption of cell membrane integrity, potentially leading to increased permeability and toxicity.

FD&C Yellow 5 (Tartrazine): Some in vitro studies suggest potential neurotoxic effects, though human evidence is lacking. Theoretical concerns regarding modulation of neurotransmitters, potentially leading to behavioral changes.

FD&C Yellow 6 (Sunset Yellow FCF): Similar to Yellow 5, some in vitro studies raise concerns, but human evidence is limited. Theoretical concerns regarding binding to DNA, potentially leading to mutagenic effects.

FD&C Blue 1 (Brilliant Blue FCF): Theoretical concerns regarding exacerbation of respiratory conditions like asthma. Theoretical concerns regarding increased cell membrane permeability, potentially leading to toxicity.

FD&C Blue 2 (Indigo Carmine): Limited human studies, but some animal research suggests potential neurological impacts. Theoretical concerns regarding triggering or exacerbating immunological reactions.
