Very true, but I can't help but want a sequel haha. Maybe that desire proves your point... Let our imagination do the rest

The problem isn't to breathe CO2, it's pumping it in the atmosphere... This article really misses the point.

Next step is: we get back to speaking to each other in the real world. That would successfully close the loop.

The author seems to think his personal defunct and bloated feed is representative of what other users are experiencing... Come on!

> The always-on future is inevitable

Well the consumers will decide. Some people will find it very useful, but some others will not necessarily like this... Considering how many times I heard people yelling "OK GOOGLE" for "the gate" to open, I'm not sure a continuous flow of heavily contextualized human conversation will necessarily be easier to decipher?

I know guys, AI is magic and will solve everything, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ordered me eggs and butter when I mentioned out loud I was out of it but actually happy about this because I was just about to go on vacations. My surprise when I'm back: melted butter and rotten eggs at my door...

That's it? That post shouldn't be on HackerNews tbh...

That sounds reasonable

Aren't you happy that when you buy food, it doesn't contain cocaine? Regulations are totally necessary and addictive online social media is a well documented plague in our youths especially.

This very US lobbyists narrative that Europe regulate while missing out on the economy is used and abused anytime something look like contrary to US interests in MAGA land.

Having been in the industry for 20 years, I can remember we were processing high loads with... Algorithms. It wasn't a cloud cost saving initiative back then, but a necessity if you had scale, you could just not throw money at scaling. Feels like we shifted optimization from algorithms to cloud costs savings...

Is this hacker news? Looks like a consumer ads compilation.

What's the ground for this? Where's grandeur in this declaration? Your comment tell us more about your disdain for France than anything else.

Very refreshing blog post in our era of attention craving.

The fight for mitigating climate change has a long way to go. I understand the funnily absurd side of the story, but the obvious flip side hurts my eyes for not being mentioned: it's trivializing pollution to an extreme.

New comment by jeandejean in "Binance says banking partner will stop processing SWIFT transfers under $100K"

jeandejean — Sun, 22 Jan 2023 01:21:52 +0000

If this was the problem maybe, but how do we know it's going to be any better if they were a bank? Also, can Binance actually be a bank and have so shady accounting at the same time? Hardly... That might be why the swift partner ceases collaboration in the first place.

New comment by jeandejean in "In-person schooling and youth suicide: Evidence from calendars, school closures"

jeandejean — Fri, 06 Jan 2023 06:59:19 +0000

I understand this can be shocking, but to me excessive precautions (such as no in-person school to avoid suicides), just lead to another ripple effect that is extremely detrimental to us as a society. The problem needs to be addressed for sure, but it doesn't mean home schooling is superior to in person.
