superduty | 2 years ago | on: Social media companies made $11B in US ad revenue from minors, study finds
How is that revenue different than the ad revenue TV networks make with the wall of toy commercials during morning cartoons?
superduty | 2 years ago | on: Ask HN: Subscriptions you'll keep and subscriptions you'll cancel?
All entertainment subs cancelled except yt premium.
We had Prime, but cancelled it today. Their frequent price increases, and this new stealth price increase to stop ads was the last straw.

If models are training on NYT content the future of AI is horrific.

You imagine wrong, at least in the case of Ford’s execs.
The burden of corrupt and useless unions and the ancient dealership model are direct contributors to the garbage the big 3 put out. Stifled product and manufacturing innovation, build costs out of control, quality disincentivized, and the ever present spectre of easy Democrat $$bailouts work against designing or building or delivering anything good at a reasonable cost.

Yep. Nor can you unionize to better wages or working conditions. We are long past the usefulness of unions.
Unions achieve nothing but enriching their executives and stifling innovation and ballooning costs.

Stagnate. lol. You’re new here aren’t you.
4x average US salary not enough for you as a starting wage?
Snowflakes.

Huh? Say more. But make it relevant.

This.
superduty | 2 years ago | on: Study: TikTok Global Platform Anomalies Align with CCP Geostrategic Objectives [pdf]
It’s not.
This nonsense was created as fodder for incompetent and dishonest politicians.
You’ll now hear the least competent ones exclaim things like “a rutgers study says China bad, China spy, China control of social media not same as US government control of social media ugg ugg fire fire”.

Sounds eerily similar to the U.S. situation where Democrats are colluding with media like CNN and NYT to manipulate narratives and sow disinformation.

Yes
superduty | 2 years ago | on: Biden Forgave Billions in Student Debt. Poll Shows It's Not Enough for Gen Z
The debt doesn’t get “forgiven”. It gets shifted to those who had no part in creating it, didn’t sign for it, and didn’t benefit from it.
Unless Biden went and extracted refunds from the teachers and universities and booksellers and landlords and weed dealers who were paid with these loans.
superduty | 2 years ago | on: CNN's Clarissa Ward visits a Gaza hospital, this is what she saw [video]
The problem with this is that CNN is party-run media, so the reporting will be framed as required by the Administration.
What would be far more useful is independent coverage.

lol. They clearly chose dishonesty.
superduty | 2 years ago | on: Wayfair CEO tells employees to expect long hours and 'blending work and life'
"Working long hours, being responsive, blending work and life, is not anything to shy away from," he wrote. "There is not a lot of history of laziness being rewarded with success."
In the not too distant future, when Wayfair is still struggling, and layoffs flow, this will look like pure abusive evil, in hindsight.
No one should ever sacrifice their health or quality of life for a company, especially one with an obvious ahole running it.

Garbage article from the very first sentence. Par for Bezos-run media.

I can see right now you’re the fun one at the table over holidays. Poor family.
