Justin_K | 8 months ago | on: Second study finds Uber used opaque algorithm to dramatically boost profits

Sadly, cab drivers did the same thing. Countless times I was given overpriced rates in times of need, like late night closing time.

Justin_K | 10 months ago | on: Insurers launch cover for losses caused by AI chatbot errors

It's called errors and omissions and it's as basic an insurance as it gets.

Justin_K | 10 months ago | on: California's $20 fast-food minimum wage improves pay at small cost to consumers

People said the same when factory automation came about. Wouldn't you agree that it's silly to pay a human to press the buttons you verbalize?

Justin_K | 10 months ago | on: Mark Zuckerberg says social media is over

I’ve basically stopped using the site for all the same reasons. I think it is because their engagement by real human users is near zero. In order to keep it freshfor whoever is left, like seniors hoping for an occasional pic of their grandkids, they fill it with the garbage

Female birth control states the same, as nothing is ever 100%

Justin_K | 1 year ago | on: A tiny satellite showed it can take high-res pics from space

Now imagine the resolution on a satellite the size of a bus!

I have had the opposite experience. Sales has been really respectful of our time.

Justin_K | 1 year ago | on: Netflix buffering issues: Boxing fans complain about Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson

I love how I can come to HN to instantly find out if it’s Netflix or my WiFi.

Unreal failure

Go build your own for cheaper and see if you can make a living.

Justin_K | 1 year ago | on: College students used Meta's smart glasses to dox people in real time

While I like what they stitched together, it has nothing to do with meta ... at the end of the day, any camera can do the same

I was wondering if you go this route, how do you dispose of the liquid after? Once the liquid evaporates, dust is left behind.

Justin_K | 1 year ago | on: Twilio confirms data breach after hackers leak 33M Authy user phone numbers

Even worse... Sounds like phone number is irrelevant, yet they collect it.

Justin_K | 1 year ago | on: $20k MRR in one month, Stripe destroyed everything on 1 second

Find another payment processor. Stop blaming others for your lack of contracts.

Justin_K | 1 year ago | on: Anduril Is Building Out The Pentagon's Dream of Deadly Drone Swarms

I actually find it a relief that a startup is disrupting the industry, where Boeing, Northrop and others are less productive and more expensive.

Genuinely curious if other HN users can share their experiences at Montessori. Considering options for my young son.

Justin_K | 1 year ago | on: GameStop shares soar 110% and are halted as trader 'Roaring Kitty' resurfaces

Historically, everyone looses their ass on these pump and dump schemes. And when that happens, people say things like "Why didn't the SEC step in to prevent the losses?"

Justin_K | 1 year ago | on: A TikTok ban would deal a blow to creators, businesses and the American economy

Staying away from the politics, anybody who has a business model completely dependent upon a single service’s algorithm should question what kind of business they have.

Justin_K | 1 year ago | on: Cancer in Younger People on the Rise

There is a huge public benefit to analyzing this data.

Justin_K | 1 year ago | on: California is gripped by economic problems, with no easy fix

How would ruining the financial plans for millions of homeowners solve the problem? It's so easy to say "just increase taxes" but the reality is our spending is insane.
