  • The Internet Archive just lost its appeal over ebook lending

    Jump

  • Eh? That article says nothing about their profit margins. Today they have something like $3.5B in ARR (not really, that's annualized from their latest peak, in Feb they had like $2B ARR). Meanwhile they have operating costs over $7B. Meaning they are losing money hand over fist and not making a profit.

    I'm not suggesting anything else, just that they are not profitable and personally I don't see a road to profitability beyond subsidizing themselves with investment.

  • OpenAI is burning billions of dollars not making profit.

  • I envision a wonderful future with this happening.

  • I think the R is also because she posts all the fucking time about it. I assumed she had some dumb reactionary views but wasn't quite sure why that was so newsworthy (I'm sure lots of people have dumb reactionary views, esp the ultra wealthy). But she literally posts all day every day about it, it's fucking bonkers.

  • Nicotine helps with neural degeneration and things like dementia and alzheimers.

  • NYC's ice cream museum is sued by a man who says he broke his ankle jumping into the sprinkle pool

  • They had this in SF a few years ago. The whole "museum" was really shoddy and a big disappointment.

  • Mixed-race voters say Donald Trump’s attacks on Kamala Harris’ race are painfully familiar

  • I dunno what to tell you man. Read the other comments from non white posters in this thread. 90% of them are agreeing with my lived experience, questions like that come across as thinly veiled racism. You don't get to tell people of color what we should take as offensive or not. If you can't understand that, it's on you. Try thinking about it rather than getting defensive.

  • I'm glad you've got the freedom to say whatever you want and be like "oh dang sorry didn't mean to offend you" (and act like a victim when you get called out on your language being offensive). For those of us who aren't white we don't get such luxuries. Aka your actions (whether you mean it or not doesn't fucking matter) are RACIST

    Edit cause I'll actually engage instead of being pissed. You are saying very explicitly with that question that Asian folks don't belong in the south, are alien to it, and are a curiosity. As a south Asian who lived in the south for a number of years the number of yokel ass motherfuckers who had the same attitude is too many to count (dwarfed only by the number of people who were just straight up explicitly racist). We aren't here to satiate your curiosity and if you can't grasp that I dunno what to tell you. Grand on you for being an enlightened centrist, asking a "foreign" person where they are really from (esp in a place with a strong history of systemic racism like the south) ain't cool, full stop.

  • Jesus people don't even see how racist they are, pretty sad.

    Hint - it was quite racist of you to ask that of somebody because they didn't match your stereotypes.

  • Hurricane Debby blows cocaine worth over $1 million onto beach in Florida Keys, U.S. Border Patrol says

  • For $1M I hope it's a couple of keys and not just a bump.

  • I was recently at the airport in Amsterdam, going from San Francisco to Berlin. The EU passports line (like always) was non existent while the non EU line was nearly an hour long. I almost missed my flight (and my checked bag did) but it was totally worth it to see all the pissed off Brits complaining about having to wait.

  • I understand that but none of the replacements came close to matching the level of content and quality, risa used to always be popping in recent and I've not found any of the replacements (I subscribed to them all) to be anywhere near that. Not saying the action wasn't warranted (it probably was) but still sad.

  • Der kom en mand forbi i den modsatte retning, og han gav hende et hårdt skub på skulderen, så hun væltede til siden, fortæller henholdsvis 18- og 17-årige Marie Adrian og Anna Ravn til mediet.

    Thanks for the danish link. Definitely not "beaten". I haven't lived in Scandinavia in nearly 20 years and am way out of touch with politics there. What's the reasoning behind this?
