KelvarIW@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto News@lemmy.world•Teen ODs and died after UnitedHealthcare ‘denies addiction treatment’: lawsuitEnglish16·1 day agoLast I heard UnitedHealthcare was denying claims with an AI – https://arstechnica.com/health/2023/11/ai-with-90-error-rate-forces-elderly-out-of-rehab-nursing-homes-suit-claims/
KelvarIW@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube says goodbye to decade-old video player UI, but users hate the new designEnglish2·4 days agoYouTube has a pretty strong hold because video hosting and streaming is extremely expensive. That’s why most platforms have strict file limits for them. In the pre-Google days of YouTube, most accounts could only upload <15 minute videos, and that limitation is still in place if you have an unverified account.
I don’t see how we’ll get any alternative to YouTube unless it comes from another large corporation, though I’d love to be proven wrong in that.
KelvarIW@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube says goodbye to decade-old video player UI, but users hate the new designEnglish1·4 days agoUsing the tools is fine IMO because the moment those tools stop working, people will move their time to Twitch/Instagram/Bluesky/TikTok/etc. 60-120 second ads will push away all, except for iPad toddlers.
Makes me wonder if Google knows this, and is deliberately adding these ridiculous ads, but not patching those tools, so they can keep their user metrics up while pushing the uninformed/indifferent into YouTube Premium subscriptions…
KelvarIW@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto politics @lemmy.world•DNC pushes back on David Hogg’s plans to support primary challenges against Democratic incumbents | CNN PoliticsEnglish16·7 days agoHow might registered Democrats and Democrat-aligned Americans support Hogg in this? Is there a good way to get the message across to DNC leadership that we WANT what Hogg is doing? That Hogg’s plan is better for party in every way?
I saw ads before Christmas incentivizing people to refinance car loans and get cash in hand :<
KelvarIW@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto News@lemmy.world•Trump administration could give $5,000 bonus to boost birth rateEnglish1·9 days agoI want to say “that’s a pathetic amount” but given how many ads I saw offering “cash in hand” for people to refinance their car loan right around Christmas… I’m not confident Americans will turn this down.
KelvarIW@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court appears poised to rule for parents who objected to LGBTQ content in elementary schoolsEnglish1·9 days agoTHIS.
America is incredibly lenient when it comes to schooling children. There are numerous private programs, including religious schools and non-religious private schools. Parents can tutor kids at home. Parents can hire anyone to tutor their child. You do not need any certification to be a tutor. You do not need permission from the state to do any part of this.
KelvarIW@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto News@lemmy.world•White House officials say they sent Harvard April 11 demands in error, New York Times reportsEnglish0·11 days agoThis is why we say, “Do not comply in advance”. I don’t buy this explanation for one second. Someone stood up the these MAGA-looneys and they’re saying this to save face and try to dodge problems in court.
I’d like to know why those 2 Republicans voted “no” when every Democrat voted “yes”.
