> Everybody wins

Doesn't someone have to lose? I am guessing the tax-payers lose somehow, though I don't understand how..



ChatGPT has this annoying habit of crashing or having extended downtime.

If this UI can capture my query in the case of such a crash and keep retrying till I get the answer, and then notify me (browser, email, etc) - that would be great.


> Nobody but the most OCD germophobe is going to have lower productivity because they are sitting in a desk that someone else was in a day before.

maybe, at the end of the day, the cleaning crew does a deep clean of the surfaces etc..


maybe a secondary system that could raise alarms since in this case, the weight calculated must have been outside of the standard deviance of the weights recorded over time?


Right like running a second instance and if both disagree there is an issue.

Some industries and companies have so much margins that they are willing to spend that much more...

It may be only those industries which have really tight margins and/or large numbers of employees that benefit from having them remote or in different geos.

IMHO, LeBron's struggle was one of an poor kid growing up.

I would even say that being black was an advantage, and gave him great genetics that he took to the next level with discipline.


> "I would even say that being black was an advantage, and gave him great genetics that he took to the next level with discipline."

Being Jewish was a great advantage to Einstein, and gave him great genetics that he took to the next level with discipline.

Being French was a great advantage to Joan of Arc, and gave her great genetics that she took to the next level with dedication.

LeBron may have great genetics. But if he does, it's because of his parents and luck, not his race per se. Otherwise everyone who is black would have a genetic advantage that they could take to the next level with discipline.

It is racist as hell to attribute to race what are personal qualities. Other than, perhaps, traits that only certain races possess, such as the ability to breath at high elevations without taking weeks to adapt to the conditions.


Asian has a different meaning in US Tech circles.

I found that out, when I arrived in this country, and was informed that Indians are their own groups, and Asians referred to Chinese and Koreans (and others).

The 'Asian' tag is a clear racist way, determined by the way one looks.
