Hopefully this causes Meta to be more transparent about what data is sent to their annotators. It seems like even the annotators didn't know whether the person explicitly hit recorded (whether accidentally or not) or if it's samples from a constant stream. This kind of makes it impossible for anyone to consent to the purchase agreements.
Unfortunately that's kind of the reality for NYC. Since Bloomberg left it's been a one party city and ranked choice voting is implemented in the primary but not the general election. That means Democrats can feel comfortable voting for the most radical candidate in the primary without fear they might flop in the general election. Until we get ranked choice in the general election moderates and non-democrats don't really have a voice. This is especially true if multiple candidates run against the democratic nominee like in this election.
Ranked choice is such a stupid system. It's gameable and complicated and confusing to most people.
Approval voting has all the benefits ranked choice claims to have, but without the complexity - it's trivial for people to understand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approval_voting
This argument reads like whataboutism. If you believe it's immoral to force Americans to pay for foreign aid then I don't see how the argument "well that money could be spent worse" is valid.
In the 90’s, libertarians were against any consolidation of power (including corporations) that could infringe on individual rights. (This was roughly in Ron Paul’s time.)
That’s been replaced with corporate libertarians, which are against any government power that could infringe on the rights of corporations. See also Rand Paul, and the corporatist movement (which is sadly mainstream in the US, an offshoot of fascism, and essentially indistinguishable from modern libertarianism).
Anyway, they are many things, but I wouldn’t say they’re hypocritical.
It's massively hypocritical, even if the people don't realise it right away.
If you take libertarianism to its logical conclusion you wind up with feudalism, which is anything but free.
Whenever libertarians try to take their philosophy through to its logical conclusion in practice they just wind up reinventing government only worse (or reinventing banking only worse in the case of crypto).
In the United States, the libertarian caucus in power since 2022 has several leaders that could be said to be against individual rights, especially if you look within the Free State movement, oddly enough. However, they narrowly avoided their candidacy in this last election. The whole thing is a mess.
This seems silly. I hate backwards compatibility but this change will just cause people to use `except BaseException` everywhere which seems even less idiomatic than bare excepts.
ETA:
Nobody is going to dig through a large codebase to find exactly what exceptions can be bubbled up if they didn't design it with explicit exception handling in mind from the beginning. It will also potentially become a pattern people will copy in new code.
Your premise is wrong. The point of a free market is to allow supply and demand to accurately determine pricing. It is not a desired effect of the free market for production costs to always correlate or even be close to the price of goods or services. Changes in supply and/or demand can cause costs and prices to trend in opposite directions.
I would argue that the "point" of a free market is that it's a system where participants find it worth participating because they reach their own goals while not having to agree on what the point is with any other participant.
I'm getting one in May so I gave this a watch. The discussion on safety starts at around 6:30 with the concerns being over harvesting of donor areas, scarring, poor growth, and potential nerve damage. Make sure to find a clinic with an ISHRS physician (International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons), that you can meet with the physician before they perform the surgery, and that the physician is actually performing the surgery instead of a technician. Pretty basic stuff that you'll find on Reddit.
Akaik Smile (the clinic this guy went to) actually offers two packages. A cheaper one where a technician will perform the incisions and a more expensive one where a physician will. I wonder which one this guy chose. It seemed to turn out alright.
No lol, I don't mean for every $1 they do in revenue they have $0.66 in costs, I mean for every $1 they do in revenue they're spending $1.66 and losing $0.66.
These kind of numbers might be okay if they were a new startup growing sales 100%+ YoY, but they've been around since 2005 and have a mediocre growth rate of about 25-30%. There's just no excuse for this level of mismanagement.
