I can only hope it was with a side of fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Because you clearly do not know what that term means.

Carroll’s case is federal, this one is New York State.

The scourge in my grade school was Rubik’s Cubes.

Hey no problem! And I didn’t mean anything by it; my reply could have been read with snark included, and I definitely didn’t intend it. Good on you for taking breaks when you need to. You’re good people, and the world needs more of you.

This presumes that there is demand for Wendy’s.

Get back to killing adult men like god intended.

That’s so reddit.

Our subdivision was built in about 2004. They didn’t put dark fiber in the ground, for some reason. It took about fifteen years for a private company to come in and lay fiber. I had Comcast/Xfinity at the time (I think it was 250Mb, and definitely asynchronous), who had already started sending out their promotions for gigabit internet service, so I called them up to see if I could get that. “That’s only available if you get internet and TV and phone.”

Oh, so you can give me just gigabit internet, but you won’t give me just gigabit internet.

It was another year before the fiber service was lit, I was the first person to get it in my neighborhood, and it is absolutely fantastic.

Sure, but they really should be describing it as 10Gb (gigabit). Even that could easily get confused with 10GB (gigabyte), which would be used for a file size.

I was unaware of that, good to know.

Not saying the original commenter is wrong, or that these media outlets are necessarily wrong in this case, of course.

You can always do better than linking to the Daily Mail.

Arkansas Supreme Court is corrupt, got it.

Math time!

Let’s use nice round numbers to make this easy. We’re going to pay community mods a salary of US$100,000.00.

Now, keep in mind that the cost of labor to a business is much more than just salary. Employees need technology, 401K matching, health insurance subsidies, an HR department, management, company stock programs, training - all sorts of things. Again, to make this easy, we’ll say that each community mod costs the business another US$100,000.00, at least in the first year. (I would expect that kind of cost to diminish as an employee gains tenure, even if it never vanishes.)

This means that for every US$1M Reddit decides to spend on human capital instead of a CEO whose job appears to be largely centered around cuntery, you get five community mods. Since we are referring to diverting US$93M, that would give us 465 community mods.

This doesn’t work perfectly, since employees generally like to be paid in cash, while executives (who already have all the cash they’ll ever need) are much more willing to be compensated with stock options and other similar non-cash strategies. Huffman certainly got some kind of pre-IPO stock grants and/or options that make this IPO very personally rewarding for him, and which cost Reddit US$0.00. (One of the drivers of inflation is how public companies get to essentially print money by issuing stocks.)

All that said, you can keep that kind of math in your back pocket whenever you become aware of any executive salary. Every million dollars one dick swinger gets would employ five well-paid workers (or ten who can live independently with some level of comfort). That executive who gets $200M a year? Half of that would put 500 people to work, and not impact the quality of life of the executive at all.

Not since they shut down API access. Now it’s obvious why they did that.

And I fully expect there is a higher ratio of “bad apples” among other groups, including “American citizens.”

All you have to do is think about this reasonably (I know, I know). Undocumented immigrants to the US want to come here so badly that they’re willing to do it outside of the law. They know full well that if they get caught just for that, they’re in a fuckload of trouble. It is clearly in the immediate, direct, and personal best interest of an undocumented immigrant to stay well clear of law enforcement. This means - wait for it - not breaking any other laws.

Undocumented immigrants have a very strong incentive to be absolutely well-behaved.

The only way Microsoft or OpenAI would know this would be to spy on chatbot sessions. I’m sure the terms of service—if I bothered to read them—gives them that permission.

Well there’s your problem.
