The two are not mutually exclusive.

The fact is worrying and getting angry about things like cultural appropriation is something one can only do if they have the time and energy to.

Most laborers are too concerned about being able to pay their bills, provide for their dependents and too tired from difficult labor to get that upset about a Chinese Basketball player wearing dreads.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Correction, the company was not performant enough to keep them working there…

It’s called extraction capitalism

Just suck every last dollar of value out of every asset.

Broken down, debt encumbered assets will be someone else’s problem, especially since bankruptcy can’t reach in to the pockets of the owners only the corps and LLCs that have stood as the facade for extraction

Really?!?!

I think anyone who wants to clone themselves is too full of shit to allowed to be cloned.

For most companies ROI on ad spend is incredibly difficult if not impossible to calculate.

Setting aside all the challenges south multiple devices lagged purchasing etc there are a lot of sales processes that take a digital lead and convert it to real human contact so attribution is very difficult

Oh man ASN.1, makes me shiver, oh the memories…

I hadn’t thought about it in like a decade but yeah it’s still silently in the background…

This is honestly the saddest thing I’ve read in years, maybe even decades.

Tech is such an shitty abyss right now, ten years ago people got excited because of truly revolutionary features , like cameras that were better than $1000 digital cameras, 4G that made the internet not just usable but fast biometrics that actually worked, on a phone, in your pocket, like holy fuck that was mind blowing.

We’ve gone so far down the hole that you are like fuck it I’m gonna buy it because of the god damn charging cable, and it’s not even something like the charging cable is crazy awesome and charges your phone instantly, it’s that it’s now just the generic port that everything from moms vibrator to your laptop to every other god damn phone on the planet uses.

And this absurdly mundane and completely valueless “update” has moved you to take a perfectly good $1000 plus phone and junk it to buy a brand new $1000+ phone, just so it can share a charging cord with a used vibrator?!?!

And this, this is the best that one of the most innovative companies in a generation, which generated profits that make the rockefellers and gettys look poor, can do.

No wonder everyone’s so in love with chat GPT, we are awed by our absolutely stunning mediocrity.

How do you figure?

Car dealers are some of the most powerful local political entities in the country, they donate a lot and they are everywhere

Why not?

That mechanism exists, it’s known as “taxes”

You did and do by living there

You could always try paying for the subscriptions…

The statement was that large companies should be “safer” because they are globally diverse, which completely ignores the fact that government and companies are apples and oranges. As long as you are borrowing in the currency you own, you can print money to pay that debt off, maybe it happens like Weimar Germany where you trigger a painful bought of hyperinflation, but the debt gets paid and there is no default. There is not a company in existence that can say the same thing

This is just so unbelievably short sited. A country is massively different than a company. A country has the force of law, it has the right to use deadly force when threatened, it can print money, seize assets, tax citizens, jail people, expel people.

Like this isn’t just about money and how much you make, that’s what a company is, a country is life or death, peace and prosperity or war and famine.

JFC…

It’s over 40% now

There are way too many people why think they are smarter than everyone else just because they take an unpopular/contrarian position, I’ve come to believe it’s just human nature.

We have a Justice system which isn’t perfect, but Sandusky was able to afford the best lawyers, they made their case, they lost. Given the verdict, the stories and the behavior pattern (he did the same thing the other monsters do preying on a specific type), it’s pretty self evident that he’s guilty, attempts to “prove” otherwise rely on peoples inability/laziness to go back to primary sources or experts.

Why would it not be the intended meaning, if they wanted it to be all post requests they would have said so, the specifically scoped it “destructive actions”, their intention is in their words. POST as a verb can pretty much be used for anything retrieval, creation, deletion, updates, noops , it’s just code it does whatever we tell it to do.

What requirement is that the specific text is “for POST requests, we require that developers build a user confirmation flow to avoid destruction actions.”

a) it says the require the plug-in developer so, not the ai

b) it’s scoped to destructive actions which is a subset of post requests

What do you think the webs value is today?

What do you think the webs value was imagined to be in the “80s”?

i didn't read it as that, they were stating the realities, assumptions were made, those assumptions are now invalid, they are working on alternatives, 30days is a short deadline for something like this and docker as an organization is behaving poorly.

all of that seems pretty true, and frankly no one should support a company that does something like this. I get they need to figure out how to make money, but time has shown the worst way to do that is to screw over customers or potential customers.

I like the poster will never trust docker, and will never use their tooling or formats, pod-man all the way.

When you collect customer deposits one could be forgiven for assuming that it actually was a promise.

It’s way to early to declare victory against the business model where you pay extra for different services to the network.

As soon as the networks can re-assert their power they will, they still own the network. The companies that need the network have lost their collective hold on the psyche of Americans.

There are so many streaming services now it’s worse than cable, no one will care if Verizon takes a chunk of Netflix’s revenue.

how about when Tesla can survive off of the margins from ops without growth and without bilking its customer for vapor ware?

How about when they come out with a new body and chassis? When they go through a re-tooling cycle or two?

And again, let’s seem then make it through a full business cycle, because again, no company founded since 2001 knows that it’s like to run a company in a no growth or shrinking economy…

The unbanked/developing country story for crypto is complete bunk.

Online drugs, porn, terrorist funding, and other illicit or anti-social behavior , that’s likely gonna wind up being the only use case for all that nonsense

Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Let’s see how many of those are around when we actually go through a full business cycle. No company started since 2003 has really been through a real downturn. 2007/2008 was limited in its blast radius and the fed just threw money everywhere…

Can’t wait to see it vacuum my floor without smearing dog poo everywhere, falling down the stairs or getting stuck between chairs.

Futurists have been predicting this stuff forever, we live in amazing times, but it’s never what it “could be”.

MF Global wasn’t a bank.

“Nothing to do with the crypto technology” is an empty and meaningless statement.

IF, and that’s a very big if, they got hacked, the fact that $600m could be moved and disappeared so quickly is 100% to do with the “crypto technology”. In the real financial system it is exponentially harder to make money disappear, transfers are logged on three sides of the transaction, you have to hack multiple autonomous and different tech stacks, and you have to wait as the transfers get transmitted, validated and passed in.

You clearly aren’t as much of an NFT hater as you claim to be.

The difference is when I buy a Pokémon card, I own the physical item.

When I buy an NFT I buy a digital claim on some item, but you don’t actually own the item, you own the claim that you own the item.
