They probably do better to put more work into writing a guide for approved writers.

So many (many) shows with great actors completely let down by terrible scripts....

This is actually more of a problem than it first sounds - a lot of the time plastic is used because it's not biodegradable, doesn't rot and is not attacked by bugs - its a wonder material in many ways - its why it's replaced wood in an lot of applications.

The only way to opt out is to stop using it - clicking accept/reject will most likely make no difference at all especially given Facebooks past behavior - I believe you can't trust them to honor any "opt-out"...

Its my opinion its just a box ticking permission for what they are doing already....

Something else to consider which hasn't been addresses in any studies so far is does the risk of myocarditis change depending on the variant of covid - it's possible omicron is more or less likely to cause it dues to wide range of mutations.

This will obviously impact the risk/reward in younger cohorts

Tinfoil hat on - has anyone considered how suspicious that only the commercial products worked, maybe the post is just a very clever shill for those products?

If you can't convince, compelling doesn't tend to work much better, unless you threaten something worse. Given that unvaxed people are worried the vaccine may kill them, threatening career change seems a bit pointless...it would be far better to listen to their concerns and talk to them, threats only confirm the conspiracies and force positions to become entrenched.

If we can't convince medical workers to recieve a vaccine from their peers we are doing something wrong.

Giphy's business model has nothing to do with GIFs, they are just a front really - its all about advertising and user tracking, essentially the same as FaceBook. All those shared gifs are tracked and used to target advertisments with.

I think this is old news, there was as court case back in May by Facebook lost appealing the decision. https://www.theregister.com/2021/05/14/facebook_giphy_court_...

"The acquirer may quickly take steps to consolidate its investment by removing the parts of its own business that compete with the target. If the CMA were prevented from making orders that impinged on the acquirer's existing business, divestiture at the end of a relatively lengthy process would, by itself, be incapable of either restoring the status quo at the time of the merger or protecting competition in the relevant market."

It looks like the CMA have the right to roll things back as if the merger never took place to the detriment of the acquirer (Facebook). Its likey Giphy won't suffer any losses, rather Facebook will be forced to compensate it, prehaps the plan all along for the VCs :P

I forgot nepotism :) it's not an exhaustive list

Every world leading company won it's position though unfair advantage. Those are normally breaking laws, fraud, stealing technology or slave labour.

None of them are there on merit.

Its not really at all the cc licence granted on Matt's site is for non commercial use only - the site contains income generating adverts... Most people would argue thats commercial use.

Looks like a good case for a DMCA (but we all know that's not what they are for) it's pretty much copy paste rip...

You wouldn't steal a car......

3.30pm untitled meeting on a Friday always means bad news...

Could probably host 10000+ static websites on a Mac m1, low power usage and built in UPS...

Maybe a better question might be what went wrong with the office?

Most offices have got increasing hostile places to be for employees, I remember one place (a bank) charging money for hot water...

This doesn't surprise me, their online platform feels like one big sticking plaster. They've had previous problems with clubcards (reward cards) being hacked and pretty much blamed the users...

It's also amazingly still going - I've played since 2003 (beta launch was 1996) - probably the oldest "action" MMO https://store.steampowered.com/app/352700/Subspace_Continuum...

The techniques used in the game ended up being replicated in many other games and apps. Its networking was also key to the low lag it is entirety based on a custom UDP network stack that can send both reliable and unreliable packets.

Given that animals can also get skin cancer from excessive sun exposure, I think your basis for this belief is flawed.

Also not burning in the sun doesn't indicate anything, not everyone gets sunburn and it doesn't mean your skin cells DNA are not being damanged and increasing the chance of cancer.

Prehaps more relevant to modern life is the ozone layer was vastly stronger in the past which filtered out the damaging frequencies.

Stay out the sun!

One of the things that's been missed is that remote working has been a big part of counteracting the massive inflation that's been caused by covid. Making people go into the office is a effectively a pay cut with all the price increases. Start forcing people in and salary expectations will rise accordingly.. .

Facebook is in the process of "losing the market" My feed has slowly died on its own with no intervention as people seem to have disengaged with it, none of my friends post anymore or if they do Facebook doesn't want to show me. I only use it as a Gumtree replacement now to sell stuff because eBay got too expensive/annoying...

Facebook has become MySpace it just doesn't realize it yet...

The number of people killed just by coal power plants in Europe is around 20k a year, choosing to abandon nuclear without clean alternatives in place first was irresponsible.

Rust ;)

Not Crypto just Fifa, more profitable...

What else would they do instead?

I think most people with unlimited financial backing would pursue what truely interests and excites them, might be projects, more money, parties, power. Money buys the freedom to do that.

Theres plenty of stories of people inheriting money and just spending it all on partying and hedonism. And others where they just study in education their whole life.

Gold as well as Crypto crashed accoss the board except for Solana which gained so I don't think this says anything about Bitcoin in particular.

The real problem is inflation and excessive rent seeking. Rents are currently at the highest level on record in the US. Hard to get someone to take a job that won't even pay the rent.

The wealth trickle up has changed into a torrent since covid, something is going to break.

That's good to know, I've still got 2 spare bays to fill!
