I know it’s kinda hard to quantify and fireworks can be overpriced, but street value up to 10 million and 150,000 pounds puts that at around $67 a pound per fireworks. I know that’s also a weird metric to use for fireworks, but that feels pretty high.
If I have to choose between keeping nature around and not having to buy an iron again, is gonna be a tough choice.
They’re in the top 10 for the lowest obesity rate worldwide. An overweight person isn’t someone with a problem there, it’s just someone who knows their food.
Probably doesn’t matter. Having worked similar jobs in the past there’s usually a question along the lines of how you feel about the company overall and if you answer negatively the whole survey counts against them and it sometimes only takes 2 or 3 of those in a month for them to get fired.
Turnover is intentionally exceptionally high and employees aren’t usually treated that well. Pay was pretty great comparatively at the time though.
Plex operates a service on their end that mostly covers you if you fuck up the network routing. It’s probably the least user friendly part of the setup, so kind of a big deal.
There are resellers in the US who will set you up with the infrastructure to do it yourself. You don’t need much and it’s less expensive than you’d think, almost turnkey.
Demand is more than high enough in poor areas too, they probably made a really good return before it shut down.
You might be overestimating how much content that was. Streaming services try to maintain an illusion of neverending content but last I saw except for prime, the amount of content they offer has been trending down.
Those numbers are fairly accessible for an average person with 3 or 4 large hard drives.
I realize I’m immature but I can’t help but laugh at the table heading of ‘Solid D’.
Looking at the house races is kinda crazy, I didn’t realize things were going to be so close there this election.
Anything reaching those kind of numbers is probably a music video or some sort of nursery rhyme set to music. Youtube is mostly a music service.
Beyond that, there’s a grammarly ad that hit over 500 million views, wonder how much they spent on that and a lot of random memes. It’s real difficult to find the most viewed real non-music, non-kids, non-ad video. Probably still Charlie Bit my Finger (again). Except Mr Beast, not many others regularly topping 100M.
She does a lot of voice acting now, especially for video games. Not sure if she has a bad agent or if that’s just what she prefers but anything else she ends up tends to be minor parts in productions that are a bit low budget and kinda rough.
Hard to tell, but she did end up as one of the nightsisters in Ahsoka.
Honestly, I use it because it does a better job than who we usually use, the items it adds to the Job descriptions usually actually exist.
You’re right that is a real loss. Really, an Alexa that didn’t require a personalized amazon account could still be huge if they could figure out how not to have to justify the costs of running the servers. I think that unwillingness to let Alexa be just a voice assistant is the key roadblock. In a similar vein, Alexa for business could have been a really big deal too if they could have worked it out a bit faster but now I think interest has mostly died out before it had a chance to be adopted.
I’m not a huge fan of the company and I think it’s a coin flip as to whether they would just completely screw it up, but I wonder what would have happened if someone like Crestron had taken a real interest instead of just half-assing an integration.
I know I’m likely alone, but I’m actually kind of bummed on this change.
The old fluid system is janky and unpredictable and I have other complaints, but the way things flowed was sometimes part of the fun. I’ll kind of miss the puzzles of ‘Why are my flamethrowers not working again?’
There was a conversation awhile back about how any term used to describe someone with a disability eventually becomes a slur and history tends to back that up, but I’d say ‘special needs’ is probably about the least offensive qualifier we have today.
For 4chan, that’s like a miracle.
Google has these phases for the products they develop, right now they’re in the phase where they’ve functionally abandoned home and are giving it just enough support to try to get some other company to manage/fix it and let them profit off of it.
I’m not usually a fan of Apple, but they’re probably going to be the ones defining where things go. If they want the market, it’s basically up for grabs right now.
Alexa has a tendency to give you the ‘featured’ product no matter how precisely and specifically you ask her for something. Even if you don’t have to research and know exactly what you want, it’s almost always easier to just go find your phone.
The real game changer for Alexa was always having a voice assistant that you can integrate with just about whatever you want that isn’t tied to someone’s phone. The idea of going into someone’s house and just saying ‘Alexa, turn on the kitchen lights’ or ‘Alexa, is it cold outside?’ is where the Alexa magic lies, but Amazon never could figure out how to make that profitable on it’s own, just doesn’t contribute to the business case.
It’s consistently pretty good for writing items with low technical importance and minimal need for accuracy.
I’ll never write a job description myself again and my need for getting with communications for mass correspondence is almost gone.
It’s from reuters, it was mangled in the initial report:
They’ve leaned pretty heavy into AI usage, who knows who wrote it.
As others have said, prices should be mostly stable, especially for big names, but you still might see a few small devs who were like “Oh shit, its the summer sale, we should add a discount” halfway through.
