As long as it isn't mandatory like the Russian Max app, I wouldn't worry. The only reason to dislike it (other than privacy issues) is the money spent to develop it (which has already been spent).

There are plenty of reasons to dislike it. The money spent to develp it. The attention spent to maintain it. The abuse of users' goodwill. Dilution of the FBI's brand with a circa 2008. None of these are good. None of them are, frankly, issues I'm going to personally engage on.

You aren't the first one to notice the correlation. It is a heavily studied subject.

It is still bad news. The last sentence refers to things working out for everyone except the reader:

"Sources went on to report that, due a minor oversight that also occurred as you slumbered, your student loans must still be repaid in full and are now subject to a highly predatory ballooning interest rate."

To get moderately rich doesn't require a special personality type, but obscene wealth requires breaking laws and asking forgiveness later (throwing lawyers at the problem). Not caring who you hurt while reaching for a goal is a trait of sociopathy.

I can't read any of it, but the other comment's descriptions sound like the new mandatory Russian Max app, so it isn't without precedent.

Why is every part of this website animated, and part of the text is backwards? Am I the only one who sees it this way?

I think they are supposed to be like cards that flip over and you see what's on the back.

If the webmaster notices this, the squares aren't great on mobile.

They also have the annoying habit of pushing concrete out of their way as they grow, and not just sidewalks. At my house we developed a water leak because the main waterline was 1 foot away from a tree. I don't know which came first, the tree or the waterline, but surely someone realized they were too close together, but they put them there anyway. Fast forward 50-100 years and the tree roots got bigger and ripped up the line.

The one at CNN is the more interesting one. It says that he has a bank account but isn't required to disclose it "because it isn't an interest bearing account".

Technology businesses need to fly employees around. Most airline traffic is for business not pleasure. I knew a guy who worked sales at IBM who practically lived at the airport.

I also like articles like this because I learn from the discussions from other commenters.

In the worst case, if I am not interested in the topic, I just move on to one of the other posts. I deliberately skip over the LLM posts, but I don't tell them to stop discussing it just because it isn't of interest to me. I'm not that self centered. There is enough space on the internet for everyone's discussion.

Don't know about chrome, but Firefox has an about:memory special page that will let you know which tabs are using the most ram. Of all the sites I use, youtube is the only culprit. When I am done watching a video, I use the about:memory to kill the associated process (doesn't destroy the tab (in case I want to come back to it)). I assume it is all the javascript cruft.
