Yeah I agree. I think twitch does too since as a streamer you have the ability disable pre roll ads for your stream by running an ad (it will disable pre roll for a set amount of time).

It seems like they’re using it to incentivize streamers to run more ads so they’ll get better retention by turning off pre roll.

I think what you are wanting exists https://www.formswim.com/

FWIW I tried them out, I liked the screen, but the shape of the goggles really takes out your already limited peripheral vision which I couldn't get used to and returned them.

There was a good odd lots episode interviewing a developer about what it took to convert an office building to residential in nyc.

“you can never have a safe emotional interaction with a thing or a person that is controlled by someone else, who isn’t accountable to you and who can destroy parts of your life by simply choosing to stop providing what it’s intentionally made you dependent on.”

Most human relationships arent evil, but it seems like the same people that would ‘fall’ for the AI in this way could be abused by a person. I guess sociopathic relationships at scale are the issue.

At least in nyc alkaline batteries do go in the normal trash.

So apparently its evident to a lot of people on hacker news that kanye has a mental illness and is making bad decisions because of it.

If this is the case why hasnt someone tried to take power of attorney or something similar here?

This looks to me to be just for 2020. Is there more analysis somewhere showing it’s consistent?

People debate whether or not global warming is happening (or whether its man made). Does that mean the field behind global warming research a pseudoscience (by your definition)?
If you try to hit the link before googling you'll get paywalled. They Probably stick a cookie on you to prevent you from playing this trick (use another browser or private window).
Actually, this has nothing to do with surge pricing. From the article:

"Working in the Hamptons is a perk for Uber’s top drivers. Only those with the highest ratings from riders -- at least a 4.7 out of 5 stars -- can operate in the area because “Uber wants to preserve its image keeping a high-standard of service,” Cosentino said."

Interesting, you're processing ~500GB (10TB / 24 hour) of uncompressed loglines in 1 hour? Is the set up the same as the presentation?
