You do NOT want to use the opposite side of the chopstick. If you use chopsticks correctly, you shouldn't be touching other food you don't intend to take. Also if you are with company that you're close with people care less about you touching the food, but otherwise you'll want to use a serving utensil.

I agree. People use "soft power" as the reason the US should do so many things for free, but the benefits aren't coming back to the US.

They probably don't care. By the time the pizza signal was out, the operation is over and the dude was captured.

Surprised by the entitlement of some people. This was FREE labor they were providing, it was never going to last forever.

why would programmers be the gatekeepers of truth?

How does an app like this work in the beginning when you have no/few users? Were you ranking images yourself or hire people to it?

I can't image it is worth much for training. A lot of student submissions are going to be incorrect bull or only worth partial credit at best.

I do it sometimes when I don't feel like using my pinkies to hit shift. This happens more often on laptops where the keys are flat.

> Writer can elect to use AI when performing writing services, if Company consents and provided writer follows applicable company policies. Company cannot require writer to use AI software (e.g., ChatGPT) when performing writing services.

Seems like a loophole: a company could increase the workload to the point GPT tools are needed and claim a writer is not performing (when compared to a writer that does use GPT).

Just use android if you care about things being open. Apple products are good because of the walled garden. Most people just want things to work out of the box, not to tinker with options.

He should have kept his day job. What is going on with these "check in" icons on the globe? Is this just a site for people to say they're lonely? How will he monetize this site?

ehh... feels like click bait. when people say "job" they generally refer to fte, not internship.

I'd guess his app was reported by his competitors. If the author wants to make things fair he'll need to report the other apps and have them investigated under the same policies.

I'm saying it probably doesn't take much man power to moderate these subreddits as you might think. Bring in a team of 5-10 full time workers would probably be enough, tbh.

jd24 — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 20:45:25 +0000

there was a stat "92 of the most 500 popular subreddits are moderated by the same 5 people"; unpaid people at that

i think they can afford to replace the mods. it'll likely be their last resort though
