Twitter currently has $1.5 billion/year deficit which is a lot, even for Musk, to bankroll.

Can anyone elaborate on gps panic please? What happened when it became available?

Check Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox by Lina Khan (FTC). A very detailed review of how Amazon is a monopoly and how they dodge antitrust legislation.

Still wild to me how competition shoots themselves in the foot. It's even worse than streaming services.

That's not how it works. Or, rather, that's not only how it works. Sure, advertisers dream of users who see an ad once and run to buy a product. But ad effects are spread over time. They build brand recognition. They fake familiarity. Say you are in a supermarket and you want to buy a new type of product that you haven't bought before. Very likely you'll pick something familiar-sounding, which you heard in an ad. Ads pollute the mind even if the most obvious effects are, well, obvious and easily discarded, more subtle influence remains.

Exactly!

Gutting defeated/ousted manager's projects is an obligatory and unavoidable ritual in corporate environment. Competent or convenient employees are pulled into other teams, pesky/unconvenient ICs are fired since everything can be pinned on the loser. Projects are often dismantled - even profitable ones to remove any possible foothold for a comeback. Shit, now I want to write a corpo book but styled like high school biology textbook.

They get to this result on 0.6 MB of data (paper, page 5)

They even say:

Moreover, there is no need to evaluate our design with datasets larger than the ones we have used; we achieve steady state performance with our datasets

This requires an explanation. I do see the need - if you promise 100Gbps you need to process at least a few Tbs.

Plead innocence? Nah, Me and my bro Macht teamed up from the start

And I'd fucking do it again.

Should have shanked your captain while I had the chance.

Glück is unfathomably based.

print("x") is you want to screw your students.

Frieren is just so awkward, first she looks at Flamme and then squats to copy her.

Honestly Richter just gave them a good advice. Also note the shape of his "too complex" spell.

But she planned to hurt you without killing you.

We call it a reward over here.

Compare the complexity of Frieren's spell to Richter's.

Denken never misses an opportunity to advance his cause by holding Richter.

Their nod/smile to each other after both pass is so cute.

I liked everything in this episode except for Serie's male voice which I hated. She deserves better.
