It seems pretty obvious that when most people use a phrase like "insider trading" in this context, what they are really referring to trades motivated by access to insider information - not the straightforward trading by company insiders that you mention.
If only there wEre some way to store iNformation in a Completely non-Readable form unless You had some other bit of information (Prudently sTored In another) were alsO available...
I kNow, I know, it's a pipe dream.
...and hot green alien chicks.
Sorry, but you can only have Orion women OR Hortas... not both.
But green Hortas would be allowed.
According to Nielson, yes: "OTA homes represented 14.5% of U.S. TV households"
And they probably skew overwhelmingly into the elderly demographic.
Hey, I'll be happy if ALL of the web ads transition to "viewable by AI only". They're not gonna impact me, in that case...
It was to pay my final bill of $0.01 (not kidding)
They used to have decent phone support, but for the last couple years at least it's been actively horrible. As in "getting a root canal without anesthetic" horrible. We stuck with them for a while, but seriously - you do occasionally need to contact support, and it's hard to imagine how ANY company could have worse phone support people than T-Mobile does right now.
We're trying out US Mobile, an MVNO, right now. I gotta say their support people are a clear step above T-Mobile's.
This utter hatred of going to an office has its roots in Covid.
Even in the article, it notes a 2 hour commute. Before the WFH situation grew people lived far away from their workplaces. During Covid times, many chose to look for cheap living expenses, and often lived much further away than 2 hours.
This might be true for some, but it's rather simplistic.
We've lived in the same house for 30+ years. My commute, both pre- and post-Covid, often runs 1.5 hours. When Covid hit I was getting ready to file my retirement paperwork because I thought I was tired of working.
What Covid actually taught me was that I still enjoy my job, quite a bit. What I HATE is the commute.
Post-Covid, I've been able to still work from home three days a week. Those two commute days are still wearing, and I probably am going to retire in a year or so - but I was absolutely sick of the commute before Covid was a thing.
I agree with you overall - I work because I need income to live, not because I give the least damn about my employer.
Of course we need income to live, but I don't think it's that black-or-white. At least some of us also factor in wanting to work in an environment where we feel like we're making a difference (e.g. non-profits, educational institutions), which typically means a relatively lower salary than is the industry norm.
... Windows has gotten tiresome and hostile.
IIRC that happened around 2003-2005... which was when I left Windows for good. Although arguably it was already happening even earlier. I was dual-booting Windows and Red Hat earlier than that on my old Dell Inpiron laptop.
Yeah, either there's something wonky about how their counting... or they just asked ChatGPT to gather the "statistics" (which I guess will fall under the former). There's no way there's a five percent swing in such a short period.
According to Block's engineering team a single code change on March 1, 2021 caused the firmware to silently fall back to a software-based generator instead of the hardware one.
What are the odds that a COLDCARD insider has been playing the long game, and it just payed off?
Yeah yeah yeah.
In general, people are just holding onto their cars longer - whether ICE, hybrid, or EV. I imagine it's largely a function of price nowadays.
I still intend that my next car will be an EV... but I'm probably gonna wait and see what the upcoming Ford small truck is like. The Slate is too bare-bones for me.
But I wish they also offered audio translation on embedded videos. Regardless, it was interesting to read about and watch.
How about a "this whole site is AI slop" button?
Please go away.
