How many times has Gitlab deleted their production databases and had irrecoverable data loss? I remember twice.

Remember there's only one side that says "I don't want to be judged for my vote". And it's because they know they're voting for abhorrent shit.

Who needs to wait for the 5xxs return to normal when you can just press end incident and pad your stats!

We can just wait for whomever they stole THIS proof from to come forward with threatening emails sent by OpenAI.

The so called "load-bearing gap" you pay experts for.

China couldn't even allocate resources to major medical problems like COVID-19. All sinovax types are significantly less effective than the western counterparts. And the sinovax therapies were a lot less sophisticated (no mRNA) because they couldn't swiftly allocate capital like the free market can. Yes, this is including the "sinovax is more well tuned to Asians" lie.

> I can say that we absolutely pay tariffs to the US government in place of our customers who should be paying it

To be ultra pedantic, you're paying American import tariffs to the American shipping carrier or American broker not CBP itself.

> refunds for it like Americans supposedly did

No one's getting those refunds, if they do get a portion back and not at the rate at which they increased prices on American consumers.

But more to your point, you can certainly pay American import tariffs on behalf of Americans, but your response is to raise prices on American consumers commensurate to the tariffs you're paying. Your margins are necessarily lower to sell to Americans, so you must raise prices for American consumers.

If your margins were high enough that you can absorb American import tariffs, then you're lucky the market hadn't provided a relevant market substitute.

> I don’t know what you’re saying

And that's the problem. It doesn't get much more simple than "Canadians pay Canadian import taxes" and "Americans pay American import taxes". Can you at least recognize that reality? For any country, its own people pay its tariffs.

> required consumers to pay new duties.

Required American consumers to pay new American levied duties.

Your comment is nonsense.

Canadian pharmacies pay Canadian tariffs. Americans pay American tariffs. American importers are no longer exempted from paying American tariffs applied by the US government for goods de minimis goods they import from Canada.

This post is about American importers no longer having exemption on tariffs they would have otherwise paid to the US government.

At no point has Canadian pharmacies ever paid American tariffs. This is fiction you invented.

It's not only Hollywood, these ML tankies that want to abolish private ownership will destroy pharmaceutical innovation. (This is where people's brains will turn off)

Why would a firm invest in research improving Super-Rare-Disease therapies if I don't get exclusive rights to the monetary benefit?

And to the inevitable room temperature IQ DSA crowd, why would the ML government with state research firms ever direct public resources to improving Super-Rare-Disease? Something that affects 1-in-10000 people doesn't deserve public resources like common diseases.

There is no revelation. The authors are intentionally misleading you by comparing 2 different metrics to pretend their formula is meaningfully different than what BLS provides.

"Headline" unemployment rate is U-3 unemployment. If they compared "TRU" to it's analogous match U-6 the graph would be less striking as it's a 1:1 match.

This is where the concern-trolls barge in with "what about non native English speakers using AI to blogslop everything is actually a good tool!"

I always wonder why this comment chain exists in every thread about LLMs uniquely harming our sphere of information.

Yes, <bad code, fake pictures, security vulnerabilities, malicious actors> existed before LLMs. No one is saying otherwise.
