It's comparing the current margin of generic congressional ballot polling (question which asks if you'll vote for a Democrat or Republican for Congress, without referencing candidate names) with this time 2 and 4 years ago.

IMO, it just seems like a rationalization to the disgust he feels about AI art. He's smarter than most about it, so it's slightly more nuanced, but it's basically the same thing that most artists complain about.

Anyway, hysterics aside, I sort of agree and question why business hours remain so similar to each other. There's parts that make sense (daytime-adjacency, we're likely too religious for Sunday to be included) but others that don't (issues with regular international meetings, nothing's open).

I don't like being rude and telling you to do something so basic as to Google something (and in that case because I didn't get the full message I couldn't look it up myself). But fair enough, you can always try looking at crash logs, but IME they're only so helpful.

That's very odd. I've dual-booted for years with no issues of the sort. Does it have some kind of message saying "You need to reset your PIN for blah blah blah reason"?

I always figured with half of these investments they're just bored and looking for random vanity projects to occupy their time. The other half being attempts at image rehabilitation.

Everytime I hear you complain about your job I just start imagining these people. "Yeah, I come from 3 states away and I'd like to trade in this go-kart, half a lawnmower, and some PVC pipe for this 2006 Hyundai Sonata."

I got something like 1fl oz/10000 mi but I think I might be underestimating the effect of power consumption on fuel efficiency.

I agree with this in theory, but in that case the survey should've probably also included other potential reasons (including, but not limited to sexual orientation/gender identity) to cut people off because I think otherwise this data is ultimately missing context.

I think the president just plainly stating that he's firing the person who produces economic data because he doesn't like the numbers officially pushes us into a new era where you just can't believe government data anymore.
