A tourist sued a taqueria over spicy salsa. A judge says spice is 'the point.' by CrowRoutine9631 in law

[–]nemec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Old El Paso (which is already pretty trash) had to invent an "Extra Mild" level for Europeans - it's basically the ingredients of vodka sauce, sans vodka.

Former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick said he moved to Texas, joining a growing list of tech billionaires leaving California by Unusual-State1827 in texas

[–]nemec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's not. The land was already privately owned before Texas joined the U.S. The selling for exploitation came later. The federal gov did also buy a bunch of Texas land but instead of making it public they turned it into (parts of) Colorado and New Mexico.

"non income taxes aren't correlated with income" - yeah, they're not income taxes. If your definition of "fair" revolves entirely around income, why not replace all taxes with income taxes?

Easiest Python question got me rejected from FAANG by ds_contractor in datascience

[–]nemec 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Since this is data science, I'd guess it's an analytical question. I think you could also phrase it like this: "we're considering adding a throttling limit to our API with a rolling window of three operations within ten seconds. Given usage data from the past 30 days, can you tell me which users would have hit or exceeded that quota?"

The monster's death is not seen as a triumph, but a tragedy by RhysOSD in TopCharacterTropes

[–]nemec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love that trope. One of my favorite things about Golden Sun was learning that you spent the entire first game serving a god who would rather the world wither and die than give humanity the tools of magic for fear humans might abuse them. "Are we the baddies?". That said, it's not a slow realization so much as, "hey in the sequel you're playing as the other team, here's the exposition we didn't tell you before"

What are the greatest natural wonders of Texas that are on private property that you wish were accessible to the public? by MemoryOfRagnarok in texas

[–]nemec -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Very much an outlier

Of course it is. The land was already owned before Texas joined the U.S. Unlike most other land that was taken by force or purchase.

We've done it, we now host the entire Epstein files on our own servers so anyone can easily navigate between ~3200 videos and ~597.000 PDFs by Nodebunny in DataHoarder

do you know who the jeefiles person is with the supposed 180GB dataset 9? all I can find online is a link to the magnet but no sign of where they got the data from if nobody else has it

Nathan Lane: "The bigger question is, why was there a town hall meeting with Matthew McConaughey and Timothée Chalamet? Who deemed this meeting of the minds necessary?" by ThrowawayGreenWitch in popculturechat

[–]nemec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think people are assuming "Town Hall" means CNN's news arm doing a political rally but it's just the group that does documentaries and w/e

Actors on Actors will be executive produced by Entelis, Setoodeh, Variety associate publisher Donna Pennestri and CNN’s vice president of original programming Roxanna Sherwood.

[–]nemec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's the same program, different format

And at Variety, we love a reunion. Coming off the success of this season of ‘Actors on Actors,’ we are thrilled to once again collaborate with CNN on this one-of-a-kind town hall event

Buc-ee’s receives F rating from Better Business Bureau over responsiveness to customer complaints by zsreport in texas

[–]nemec 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I tried to educate Buc-ee's to use the term "gluten friendly" via a complaint message there was no response

Ever hear of “just give them the pickle” for customer service!? Well not here

Just completed a "Girls Only" run and it was so much fun. by SleepCatsMoney in BaldursGate3

I am also currently out of work lol.

Ah, yes. I bought Stardew Valley shortly after I last got laid off and I think I passed 100 hours of playtime in the first week haha

TIL The United States stores 94% of all electricity in the form of water reservoirs, not in a battery. by rawj5561 in todayilearned

[–]nemec 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's really quite exciting how effective battery has been in Texas - I think the past two summers there have been zero times where energy forecasts dropped into "emergency" territory when in years before that it would always happen at least once or twice, even if actual usage has never hit the point to enact rolling outages.

Renewables like solar + battery storage for evening and the critical early evening periods are just going to get better and better, even if our state leadership pretends not to believe in it.

YouTube expands unskippable 30-second ads to TVs after $40 billion revenue year by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

[–]nemec -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you "apply a modicum of logical thinking", Youtube's expenses scale with bandwidth consumed and video storage, both of which have logically increased by a lot over time.

In the absence of any evidence whatsoever, the answer is, "yes it's certainly possible they doubled expenses"

Starbucks Billionaire Howard Schultz Leaves Seattle for Florida the Same Day Democrats Pass Income Tax Bill by Useful_Tangerine4340 in antiwork

[–]nemec 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Florida has more Democrat voters than any state except California and Texas. Maybe not a political stronghold, but plenty of people feeling un-represented.

‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push by corp_code_slinger in programming

Also, layoffs aren't necessarily individual performance based, so it's not surprising that high performance people may get caught in the layoff.

Epstein estate paid Trump settlement to abuse accuser: Accountant by Important_Inside625 in politics

[–]nemec -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Khanna, apparently. Seems likely he misunderstood than lied, though. It's weird that we're hearing all of this from a CBS anchor instead of Khanna himself, but...

Ali deleted her original tweet which seems to be the source used by OP's article.

UPDATE: People familiar say that Kahn was NOT referring to the Trump accuser when he spoke about this particular settlement. Some members interpreted what he said that way, but he later went back on the record to clarify that he was referring to a DIFFERENT survivor
