A more interesting “bear case” for AI is that, if you look at the list of industries that leading AIs like GPT-4 are capable of disrupting—and therefore making money off of—the list is lackluster from a return-on-investment perspective, because the industries themselves are not very lucrative. What are AIs of the GPT-4...

There’s a note at the end of the article that says it was take using pano. So this is doubly unsurprising. Despite the instagram caption reading it wasn’t.
Elden Ring. Cyberpunk. Outer Wilds. HiFi Rush. Stray. Midnight Suns (licensed like Potter but original).
Not saying a lot. But far from none. And alongside Starfield and Horizon Forbidden West (second game in an original series) it’s hardly no original titles.
These US healthcare systems are effectively scams. Yes in theory they can save you money, however in theory there is no difference between theory and practice, while in practice there is.
Weird FSA trick tho; if you borrow from an FSA, spend it in full in, say… the first month of the year, quit your job. You never have to pay it back.
Happened to me by accident. I started a plan to pay for LASIK. Got it. Had no way of knowing back then I’d be made another job offer. Took it and expected to get dinged with the entire amount. Nope. FSA plan eats the loss.
So all you gotta do is plan very specifically months ahead and triple down by orchestrating a job change all to save $2k :) easy.
When you start an FSA the funds are front loaded. You can immediately spend everything. But you pay it back over the course of the year. So if you leave and all the funds are spent - you don’t owe them a repayment and they can’t exactly keep deducting from your paycheck.
You elect in advance how much you want to fund your FSA in the next upcoming period (year)
On day 1 of that period the FSA is available to you to spend on eligible expenses. Within 2 weeks I spent the full years elected amount (one surgery).
For the duration of the period they deduct (pre-tax) the total FSA election / pay periods (ie. $2000/24 in my case). And that would repeat through the full period (year).
So in my case, leaving after paycheck 1 of that period, but spending 100% of the elected funds means I paid: 1x(2000/24)= $83. But I spent $2000. Upon leaving that meant they did not collect $1917.
I mean, I dont actually mind ads… within reason. But over the past few years I have watched less and less youtube content due to the ratio of ads to the actual bloody content I wanted to view....
Yea makes sense. Network and cable TV in the US is and always has been about 50/50 ads to content. It’s horrendous to watch. And probably explains why some sizable number of Americans will always pay to go ad free if it’s an option.
Edit: and not be too concerned about a 10s bumper ad or two. Altho don’t get wrong they are increasingly obnoxious.
I’m not sure the voting demographics support that assertion. More like in a few elections boomers will got overturned. And the backlash is always severe.
I think you deleted your comment. But I don’t think it’s weird at all. If what you say is true than it makes the impact of the choice gap between older and younger voters even more important. Clearly younger voters had to come out in massive force and extremely aligned to overcome the huge conservative bias of their older voting group peers in those elections.
It’s not that government doesn’t have the power to grant rights. It’s assumed by default that if the right wasn’t enumerated here (in the constitution) then it exists by default. None of that bars either the constitution (via amendment) or law (so long as it doesn’t contradict the constitution) from granting or conferring or even restricting/limiting rights (again as long as it doesn’t contradict the constitution). All done via the consent of the governed (ie via elected government). We seem to have forgotten we have the power to “perfect” our laws and governing document.

They sometimes run crazy specials. Couple dollars for 6 months or whatever. I’ve juggled promos. But I have NY Times and it’s now invite that. Either way I appreciate their output and the quality of the writing.
