I rented a car from Hertz this weekend and the desk person blatantly lied about the coverage provided by my credit card. Who knows if he's instructed to say that or not, but it's shady either way.

Level 100 GeoGuessr over here!

He sure is running the government like one of his businesses...and now we see more clearly why they've all failed!

Company founder/early executive. It's a new thing every day and to top it off every year or so, if things are going well, your whole job gets reinvented!

Wow, how fascinating, thanks!

It makes total sense in hindsight that people have specialties. I guess I figured it to be a bit like the wine world where everybody has to have roughly the same skills in order to get by.

Wow, care to tell us more about New Belgium?

How do you become an expert taster? Did you have to taste every batch to make sure it comes out tasting "correct"? How do they manage that on such a large scale?

Just put a 6th finger on your hand and you're good to go!

I think he does a good job at explaining both sides and calling for a root-cause solution, but he's definitely leaving out an important piece: the data collected by all the US social media companies can't just be taken by the US government. They need reasonable causes and go through channels where their access should be checked before they can get their hands on the data. The Chinese government, on the other hand, can just compel TikTok to hand over the data they want.

I don't like the data overreach by all big us tech companies, but at least their data has some safety rails around its usage.

I understand the "but I like TikTok" crowd, but China bans US companies from operating in China all the time. Why is it all of a sudden a problem when we do it to them?

Seconded, it's amazing for occasional reddit use when you don't want your eyeballs seared by the normal interface!

The real question is which accent?

My brain is going to generic middle east and I don't know why
