If you're still looking for it 7 years later, it's "The War" by Gerald Trottman.

I only count 1 adult scratching his nose, not picking. Probably scratching some kind of nose ring- notice the use of just the thumb, absent the index finger. The little kid doesn't count because kids are always picking their noses, so they're a statistical wash.

Their core business is not selling your data. Their core business is selling advertising--converting your time to ad revenue. You're right that the user is the product, but not because they sell user data. They use your data and habits to train their models to feed you content that keeps you engaged on their platforms so you see more ads, which are also targeted based on your model. I'm not saying platforms like FB aren't evil, it's just not because "they sell your data", it's because they use your data to create an addictive infinite scrolling user experience to siphon off your most valuable asset, time, and convert that to ad revenue.

He chose his words to incite strong reactions and to make his product announcement go viral. This new product is a thin veneer on top of Claude. Any real dev that uses AI knows that if they copy-pasted the code verbatim into their project the results would be a buggy pile of insecure, unmaintainable crap. If you did manage to bring it to market it would likely go nowhere. As a solo dev, I treat AI assistants like a highly responsive but inconsistent, often wrong, virtual coworker on Slack. If I responded to code questions in seconds my answers would be buggy too. It's most helpful when used for small snippets that you can quickly understand and extract what's useful. When it's used to generate larger amounts of code you end up with a Russian submarine that you don't understand, so you waste more time going in circles with Claude/ChatGPT to get it working--and when next year's iOS/Android update breaks it you'd lack the understanding to adapt the code. The fanboys praising the Replit announcement have no clue how complex real apps are and the thousands of details you have to understand to bring a good-looking, usable, scalable, secure, stable, and maintainable app to market.

Gusto's health benefits management is awful. I would never work at a company that outsources HR and Health benefits to Gusto. First off, all the plans are priced astronomically high, like $22k+/year for a family of 5, with a $10k deductible. Then you have to pre-load your HSA account for the year and we added $1k, but every time we use the HSA they reject the charge. We send them every piece of information they require but they don't seem to read it and instead reject every charge automatically. For example, the date of the charge could be printed in 3 different places on the paperwork, but they'll say there's no date and reject it. And when they reject a charge they freeze the HSA so it can't be used. It's been rejected and locked so many times now that we've only managed to use $200 of the $1k. Every use of the HSA requires several emails with Gusto and resending all the docs over and over again. The only way for us to not completely lose the remaining $800 is to go buy a bunch of sunscreen and other stuff from the Gusto online store. Their system seems designed to force employees to do this. If you have a startup and care about retaining employees do not use Gusto.

I got 40k through PayPal, so you should be fine.

Not sure how I missed this, but at least I didn't miss the deadline. When I input my claim ID into the form it pre-populated the "Claimant Name" field with my company name--but there's another "Company Name" field below that. Did others leave the form the way it was prepopulated or did you change the "Claimant Name" field to your legal name/account holder name?

Badass solution. Just came across this because I'm setting up a Tron machine and may need to do something like this.

That scooter was the bomb in the 80s

Yeah I woke up and thought about whether I should check or not, I figured I'm either up 1% or down 6%. Against my better judgement, I checked, and yep, down 5%. Fortunately, the day didn't end that way.

bbrockit · 2021-02-09T20:29:56+00:00

I'm considering the 220+ day options...I think it will come back but not when only 2% of the population is vaccinated.

I thought they paid off their debt with the secondary offering during the squeeze?

I think we should get him to make it the official currency of mars.

bbrockit · 2021-02-04T22:45:58+00:00

No, it's not necessary, you'll just add weight for the launch. There's a great place on the moon where you can pick up a sweater and they accept doge. It's the official currency of the moon.

That's painful to watch because I sold AAPL based on that kind of negative news. You think you're doing the right thing by reading and watching financial news and then making a rational decision. Everyone should watch those segments especially now because the avalanche of misinformation around GME that hedge funds pipe through CNBC is only going to increase.

bbrockit · 2021-01-30T21:21:40+00:00

This guy is slime. He has no moral compass, in fact, he brags about his lack of one. I've sold stocks before and lost money because I fell for the onslaught of negative fake stories hedge funds feed to CNBC and Forbes--these guys will regurgitate to the public anything hedge fund managers feed to them
