So a plumbing business which books appointments via their nothing-customized Squarespace page, that’s a tech company? And you would think it appropriate if a news story about that plumber causing a water main break being posted to a technology news feed?
Having a website does not make a company a tech company and you are objectively wrong if you think it does.
Is the implication that any business you access via a web browser or app is a tech company? Boy do I have news for you about literally every business
For once, the money is genuinely not the point, from any point of view.
The stated purpose, and I think it will accomplish this, is that no one running a bot network will pay this for their bots, so spam reduction.
The likely ultimate purpose is to have the user’s payment info saved to reduce friction for giving Twitter money later on.
The problem though is that they’re adding this friction on to the beginning, so as a result I think the most prominent actual effect is going to be 80% of free users (real ones) are gonna kill it then and there.
And if I could get a ride in this service today that might be relevant
Hating Musk is okay but this comment betrays a serious lack of knowledge of how Starlink works. They operate on the verge of losing orbit at many times (especially right after launch) BY DESIGN. This is so that malfunctioning satellites will deorbit quickly and not turn into long term space junk. The fact that hundreds have been lost this way is literally just SpaceX being responsible stewards of orbital space.
No, that would actually be worth the money. This sounds like a subscription to feel like even more of a loser when you still fail to get laid.
If she told the kids they were just eating regular gummies rather than sleep inducing ones, then “laced” is still appropriate here.
I have been a developer professionally and exclusively using Unity for 17 years. Yesterday, I installed Unreal Engine. I’m doing as many tutorials as I can this weekend.
I have no faith now that there will be enough studios willing to use Unity to sustain a career based on it.
There are a lot of valid reasons not to do a screw in plug, but hoses solved this problem decades ago. The tip turns, the cord doesn’t
It’s plainly obvious in this screenshot that you’re just searching for the text “user”.
I see the blank lines being included is odd, is that it? Why are the other lines being underlined?
The beginning was like 15-20 years ago.
Who could have possibly predicted that?!
The real victims here
Like that old Invader Zim line.
“You made the fires worse!”
“Worse? Or better?”
I always feel like I’m in the minority when it comes to action sequences. They are 80% of the time the most boring part of a movie. Plot and character development don’t happen during them, and usually (especially for the big climactic fight scene) the outcome is certain.
For me, the only exceptions are generally:
Fights that the heroes might actually lose. (So usually, the fights earlier in the show)
Fights where there are good character moments or development during it. (The Princess Bride sword fight scene is a classic for this)
Fights with lots of good strategy/tactics in them. (Game of Thrones had a lot of this, at least prior to the last season)
There are a very few fight scenes I’ll actually enjoy outside of these ones, and it feels like many action movies don’t bother with any of this.
Ooh, thanks! That does look nice
One of the larger instances is lemmynsfw.com, there’s a fair amount of porn there.
Not quite the levels there are on Reddit, though. And very little OC from what I’ve seen.
The data they’re looking at when they make this decision is”people aren’t using our app as much as I’d like”.
Hiring someone that OpenAI chose to fire is pretty clearly fair play, but how does this declaration not directly run afoul of anti-poaching laws?
