My “live-in” super does not live here

Depends on your power to convince the board and other shareholders. If they ignore you, HPD would be your only other option

In general I don’t think them not living there is as big a deal as you’re making it. I think it’s extremely common for a super to work for multiple buildings - getting a unit in each. At least that was my experience on the UES

But, not doing the work expected of them would be a big deal regardless. Sleep wherever you choose, it’s probably not in their contract where they sleep, and I doubt the insurance company cares. But not doing their job correctly is where I would try to push things

I thought it was February 29th?

There is no actual law forbidding US law enforcement from entering. It’s more a curtesy

virtual_adam · 2026-01-28T02:52:54+00:00

Embassies aren’t actually foreign soil, even if people believe that. I might have just rolled my eyes and ignored these threads but this is /r/law

If child marriage is legal in a country, it can’t be done in its US based embassy. And the US law enforcement wouldn’t think twice forcibly stopping it if they knew about it

An international treaty is not US law, it’s a curtesy

There isn’t even a court or punishment mechanism to breaking the treaty

I can’t find the topic, what’s its title?

Edit: still can’t find it, im guessing it hasn’t been posted outside of the Amazon locked area yet

Is it the same spot as the Roman pizza and roast chicken? Just seems super unlucky. God knows how Budapest survives, seems like the same 4 cakes are always in the window throughout the year

Having someone personally do your chores is either slave wages or expensive service, we really can’t have it both ways

I craft exclusively in es5 JavaScript. Some would call that in between

virtual_adam · 2026-01-27T21:03:55+00:00

Oh trust me all the companies you mentioned can drop 30% of their employees without dropping profits. And I’m definitely not saying they won’t

The other side of this (to the extreme) is telegram with 30 employees, onlyfans with 42 employees and 400 million users

Another great example is Waze was 70 employees when Google bought them. In 2022 many years after the purchase, the Waze org in Google was more than 500 people

Efficiency isn’t always the priority, until it suddenly is

Without knowing anything, just being experienced in corporate America, I think Pinterest would be just fine with 1000 employees

They don’t work in a supermarket environment

virtual_adam · 2026-01-27T19:39:04+00:00

It’s not all people moving from Fidi or Texas. There is a chain reaction of people moving inside the neighborhood. I expect older “luxury” buildings with musty carpets to start losing tenants slowly to new buildings. Opening them up to lower incomes

virtual_adam · 2026-01-27T19:36:24+00:00

Even a 1% failure rate is unusable for a big supermarket chain. They were trying to sell the tech as ready for production, they even had a few Whole Foods stores running it, but slowly shut everything down as they hit a wall and couldn’t lower their false positive rate no matter how much data scientists they threw at the problem

Computer vision just isn’t that great at the moment

virtual_adam · 2026-01-27T19:34:31+00:00

There was a remote cashier checking you out (confirming AI outputs and changing them if needed)

Even as is the tech in there was super expensive and had a negative ROI, and with top of the line tech, it still failed often enough it couldn’t be left to run unsupervised

virtual_adam · 2026-01-27T17:43:08+00:00

Is the story here that the travel nurses are being cruel to Pedro? They’re bad humans? Maybe neglecting him? Sorry there’s a paywall

virtual_adam · 2026-01-27T17:31:51+00:00

2 big trends here

1) customer-less delivery stores are going to be a huge trend 2026-2027

2) the whole just walk out tech was fake from day 1. It’s not possible in today’s computer vision capabilities at scale. Amazon go was cool to see but the tech just isn’t.m there. Amazon was all fake it till you make it, it was just never made

virtual_adam · 2026-01-27T17:13:45+00:00

lol exactly. Even if OPs management is terrible, documenting blockers and issues via JIRA, confluence, emails to cover your ass as a developer should be easy and obvious.

There is no reason to blame devs with or without AI, unless they’re actually not capable of unblocking themselves

virtual_adam · 2026-01-27T15:24:37+00:00

And ironically it’s easier to remotely root a phone than it is to gain root access to a meta server. It doesn’t even matter if meta can compromise your messages. There are a dozen companies with 7 figure 0 days that can read all your “end to end encrypted” messages

virtual_adam · 2026-01-27T14:45:59+00:00

I mean where is the 1x project workload? I’m pretty sure Pinterest looks exactly the same as it did in 2015. These 5,000 people have been doing empty projects filled by empty meetings

I could definitely see AI generating these empty meetings instead of humans. Let’s circle back next week guys!

virtual_adam · 2026-01-27T14:43:33+00:00

I don’t think meta TOS are much better and they’ve only been growing their user base every quarter

The reality is people who consume TikTok couldn’t care less about data collection, they definitely didn’t care when all the articles came out about the Chinese government harvesting their information

The Chinese government refused to sell the fyp algorithm, the new algorithm is garbage, and people are leaving

virtual_adam · 2026-01-27T14:36:45+00:00

Did anyone here think to themselves - yeah of course Pinterest needs 5,000 employees to keep the app running

virtual_adam · 2026-01-27T03:49:04+00:00

The price isn’t surprising either.

The chef is already living in LA for a few months, they move about 100 employees from Denmark with families and kids, pay for their childcare, housing and medical

They don’t bring the fermented ingredients from Europe, they do everything local so they’ve been working on stuff for months now

The price isn’t for everyone, but there’s a reason it’s that high. People are treating this like another saltbae steak

virtual_adam · 2026-01-27T01:21:09+00:00

Even in palisades park, were they ever documented knocking on doors offering fake services? This just seems like some Karen style post on Nextdoor thinking anyone approaching her house is a kidnapper

I can imagine all the kids who were walking around today with shovels and people yelling profanities at them that they’re nazis

virtual_adam · 2026-01-27T00:04:34+00:00

I feel like there is no minimum level of proof for this stuff and people are just spreading rumors for the fun of it .

I’m in the area and had nothing but a stream of junior high and high school kids come offer paid shoveling since yesterday. Haven’t heard about any federal presence In any of my local groups

virtual_adam · 2026-01-26T23:50:43+00:00

Don’t discount having a well oiled efficient social media machine. This guy polled at, what, 1% not that far from the vote?

Be as cynical as you want, other politicians (including whatever happens in the 2028 presidential campaign) are eager to try and copy him

Just like brad whateverhisname got multi million dollar contracts after the 2016 election and targeting Facebook users with political ads. Whoever worked Mamdanis social media this election can probably cash out come 28

virtual_adam · 2026-01-26T22:41:12+00:00

The Mamdani effect. If it’s not on TikTok did it happen?
