Is a person applying for roles at Msft more likely to use Google search or LinkedIn to find the openings or read a newspaper?

exactly

Typically when a product is named x500 then one could assume its at 500 level or you are getting 500 of something.

I think this is the first instance where it means you are actually paying 500$

"Picture an AI agent trying to book you a table on a restaurant’s website. "

Are we there already? asking because I genuinely cannot find an agent that will do this end to end for me.

This is the best example of how Meta actually implements addiction forming apps.

The Insta Ads: Teens can set daily watch time limits.

The reality: When the teen exceeds their set daily watch time limit, the notification includes option to skip and continue watching !!!

This is just reckless without any responsibility.

A number of people, especially in tech sector, legally stay in US while their GC is being processed. They have kids born in the USA. If such people were to leave USA to seek green card:

- the kids must first get visas to their parent's countries

- once reaching the other country, consular offices now have multi year wait lines for getting an appointment with a office to even hear your case.

- parents may stay in that country but what if kids run out of their visa? A number of countries offer citizenship via parents e.g. Indian parents can obtain Indian citizenship for their kids but it also means letting go of the kids' US citizenship. And what if the parent's country does not have such mechanism?

It's completely illogical that a person must first stay in a country for 5 years to become eligible for a green card and then leave for x years to get a green card to come back !! this is just a tactic to get non-immigrant visa holders out of the country.

I used to collect these matchbox covers as a kid. Just like stamps. A bit later in time than the ones shown in the website, but definitely as fancy. There were no large "match box" corporations and each region had their own designs. Once our parents took us on a tour to North India and matchbox covers from those cities were the highlight of my collection.

Ads can be a nuisance but if/ when done they can be nice too.

I hate the Google sponsored results/ ads, often they masquerade as an organic result and push the actual relevant results down in the list.

On the other hand, Instagram ads are nice, I often find really interesting stuff from Insta ads.

It's a tradeoff, too early to say if it's a dumb move.

Side A: Tesla can grow FSD subscription revenue by making FSD + Autopilot completely based on subscription. Lot more people use Autopilot than FSD. In the happy path such users will pay the subscription and that revenue will increase.

Side B: Autopilot (aka lane keeping) is fast becoming default option across manufacturers. Tesla will take a dip in sales if such 'basic' option is no longer available.

Whether side A > side B is to be seen.
