Growing up, local morning radio shows were no longer allowed to say "that sucked" so they all switched to "that vacuumed". The ridiculousness of being offended by idioms like this amuses me
Do they have proof Chauncey conspired in and profited from the rigging? Seems like he got appearance fees in under ground games? Interesting if the prosecution can tie him to the fraud itself. Announcing it in connection with actual game rigging interesting for a case that has nothing really to do with basketball.
"One indictment in the case lists 32 defendants, including the former N.B.A. player and coach Damon Jones and the Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, who are both charged with wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy, according to the docket sheet in the case.
Many of the other defendants also face those charges, along with counts accusing them of operating an illegal gambling enterprise and conspiracies to commit extortion and robbery."
They don't necessarily have or need evidence that Billups was aware of the rigging, just the regular financial crimes of taking payments from the Mafia that will presumably get him to cooperate.
you can literally buy purchase data from Mastercard, AMEX, and Discover and use this data for retargeting and advanced targeting w ads and run them on Facebook and other platforms.
A dog food purchase? Owner likely has pets, serve em a pet ad, etc.
Why didn't the people selling shovels to gold miners dig for gold themselves?
Because Nvidia is making actual profit selling hardware to those who do, not hoping for a big payout sometime in the future. Different risk/reward model, different goals.
They have a bunch of Nemotron models. They can make more money from five(?) competing frontier labs than from trying to monopolize the frontier themselves.
Yes, the site seems to save the checked cocktails into Local Storage (you can click some, and in your browser's inspection tools you can check. Eg. in Firefox > Inspect > Storage > Local Storage, there's a key with "cocktail-tracker").
I've checked and closing/reopening works (of course locally only, no incognito tabs, etc...)
People are understandably fascinated by it, and trying to learn to figure out what’s being created by AI and what’s not. The commenter is right about this example, you could certainly vibe code an app like this.
Also, the chart doesn't take into account that the biggest companies have more power, are bigger right now, and it's not inherent to them using AI. If not AI, it would be something else. Shares and revenue are growing, and people are getting fired. They will not collapse.
1) much cheaper due to none of the tax and fee apparatus local govts attach to hotel stays
2) the ability to “stay like a local” in neighborhoods where residents live instead of hotel neighborhoods like Times Square , fisherman’s wharf, soma etc
1 is completely gone and has maybe gotten worse than hotels. 2 still holds to an extent but you mostly find professional spaces
