Precursor to the machine crusade?

I agree and I’m also surprised in 2026 that these revocation lists don’t update dynamically. Something like ntp for root certificates would be great.

Stuff like this that defies all logic happens all the time. Amazon operated at a massive loss first it’s first decade and still IPO’d years before they posted a profit.

Was Flock involved somehow?

Attitude adjustments perhaps

And about 50+ sev 9+ CVEs for the linux kernel

That’s right, working until my death is the only way I’m going to be able to pay for my 3 kids college at roughly 50-100k per year.

Assuming it passes, I wonder if this will have an unintended side effect of giving studios and publishers “no choice” but to only make SaaS-based games going forward.

Is there a legal case there? Union-busting being unconstitutional?

Don’t even need to go that far, it refers to ethereum in plain text.

Right, 3 seconds in, as soon as I saw “ethereum” in a typescript validator the first thought was the same.

As an executive of a company, I can think of no reason to remove that as a value unless of course (checks notes) you are condoning and encouraging evil.

Also the part where every single in-game menu looks as if it was created by a different team.

Ha, they will just form a mesh network with your neighbor’s TV and Kuerig and upload all its sniffed coffee preferences data that way.

Ye’ Olde Pendulum be swingin’ back again

I’m going to call this industry standard practice what it is: “predatory pricing” and I hope this goes the right way for customers.

Meanwhile, Japanese monks are dismantling shinto temples piece by piece and rebuilding them piece solely so every future generation will know how it’s done.

Many companies are essentially forcing the use of it via raising the bar for performance by 10x(hyperbole). Yeah it’s not great everywhere and I’m sure there firms that aren’t as pushy.

Can we just call it Oracle Pictures so it triggers a more visceral reaction for me?

Good news! Research shows that hope reduces stress! [0]

There is no crime if you stop testing for it .. oh wait that was for something else.

It’s not worth an antitrust case when the people who have the power to stop an antitrust case gain a significant percentage of that pile of billions of dollars but I find it depends on who you ask.

I’m not contending that the cornell professor is wrong. In fact, quite the opposite really. Perhaps my point wasn’t clear. What I’m saying is that reality is fuzzy enough that a majority of the country’s CEOs (often not lawyers) continue to operate on said myth. There have been enough lawsuits, even if many end up being frivolous, the myth persists. Honestly whether or not it’s written in stone doesn’t actually matter, it’s how executives behave.

Your own citation is basically an acknowledgement of that. In particular:

> “This dogma drives directors and executives to run public firms with a relentless focus on raising stock price. In the quest to “unlock shareholder value” they sell key assets, fire loyal employees, and ruthlessly squeeze the workforce that remains; cut back on product support, customer assistance, and research and development; delay replacing outworn, outmoded, and unsafe equipment; shower CEOs with stock options and expensive pay packages to “incentivize” them; drain cash reserves to pay large dividends and repurchase company shares, leveraging firms until they teeter on the brink of insolvency; and lobby regulators and Congress to change the law so they can chase short-term profits speculating in high-risk financial derivatives.”

antitrust law can be a great tool if the government actually uses it for enforcement, which it hasn’t been because it causes parties to lose elections.

The overwhelming majority of incentives for executives is and always has been aligned with squeezing more value out of customers, in the form of increased margins, lowest possible costs with the highest prices the market will tolerate.

There are a few, I mean very few executives who stand firm on defending good faith toward customer happiness and quality. One of the only things stopping the spiral is competition. That’s why there’s an incentive to consolidate into a few massive conglomerates.

Mm not really. This has been argued so many times on HN. It’s imbued in de facto case law. You’re not going to find it in legislation.

Willingly getting sued by hostile shareholders is in itself not acting in the best interest of shareholders so while it’s not in code, it’s buried in many decades of case law and in reality it reflects the maligned incentives for companies.

Maybe his university is mandating or threatening to fire him like half of America’s corporate tech companies are.

For one, they could have could have not massively scaled back consumer memory manufacturing as a matter of duty to customers. But money and greed must prevail.

Seriously. We’re supposed to believe this AI boomer rhetoric that it won’t take jobs. In order for companies to pay for it, it must take out jobs.
