Whenever I see a politician or regulator arrested for accepting bribes, I think, what an amateur. American elites have perfected the art of the grift: do a turn in government or academy, and then become a ‘thought leader’ or form an NGO and collect speaking fees from Wall Street and foreign powers. Wait for your party to get back in power, do another round in government, rinse and repeat. Even the Presidency and Prime Ministership are just a stage in one’s path towards hedge fund riches.

They're setting up a regulatory fight.

It's only 'unsavory' if you're ignorant of the history and reality of Korea. Korea is a small, culturally and racially homogenous nation that, within living memory, was colonized by a power that attempted to wipe out its ethnic identity. It has no native racial minority groups. The ethnic and cultural unity of the nation is a source of pride for Koreans. You can't expect a nation like this to import millions of immigrants from other cultures.

Yeah when it falls from 10 kids per couple to 2-3. But not when it falls below 1, which is what happened in South Korea:

"Kim, a product designer and art instructor, calls her hopes of one day having children "just a fantasy" — especially now, when housing costs are soaring, the job market is oversaturated and marriage rates are plummeting."

Doesn't sound like wealth and abundance to me.

Of course we do! That's why we're talking to each other about it. Twitch risks a backlash from parents if adult content comes more prevalent on the site.

I’ve talked to my friends about this (we all have young children) and they had no idea softcore porn is prevalent on twitch. Not to mention actual adult stars regularly streaming.

And before anybody replies “and whats wrong with that” blah blah, parents still think of twitch as a place where kids can watch minecraft.

Twitch is playing with fire here.

They're going after her because she enabled the much larger theft, not just because she took six mil herself.

You don't know how the LSAT works, do you? It's not a memorization test. It has sections that test reading comprehension and logical thinking.

Keeping your money in a bank is acting in a risky manner?

From the article:

“Starlink's second-generation satellites include the V2 Minis and the larger V2. The larger V2s are designed for the SpaceX Starship, which isn't quite ready to launch yet, but the V2 Minis are slimmed-down versions that can be deployed from the Falcon 9 rocket.”

"One explanation for the age-based reduction in music consumption simply posits that responsibility-laden adults may have less discretionary time to explore their musical interests than younger people."

This seems most likely? I'm so busy with life and work that I don't have time to explore new music as I used to.

That said, today's pop music sounds really bad to me, so my musical tastes may have solidified and I'm not as open to new music.

Do me a favor. Go to China and start an opposition party. Or hand out flyers in Beijing criticizing Xi’s third term. When you come back from the gulags in couple decades, tell us about your experience with Chinese democracy.

They dropped the currency idea.

I'm in the beta and this hasn't been my experience at all.

Yes, if you treat Bing/ChatGPT like a smart AI friend who will hold interesting conversations with you, then you will be sorely disappointed. You can also easily trick it into saying ridiculous things.

But I've been using it to lookup technical information while working and it's been great. It does a good job of summarizing API docs and stackoverflow posts, and even gives me snippets of code. I had it generate Python scripts to do simple tasks. Sure, it's not always accurate - but it's saved me time and I find it at least complementary to Google.

So it's a tool. Fairly immature at the moment but very useful.

Good luck to everyone at Amazon.
