speaking as a founder/CEO

massive price tag, but it's almost always worth it

The "Obama putting a medal around Obama's neck" meme seems appropriate here.

Batshit insane. Does this mean they need to "find" it, like how he wanted to "find" more votes in Georgia?

It really needs to have a "classic" toggle where all the [enshittified] crap is disabled.

This can apply to almost any modern application.

If it's named "Gemini", does that mean it's going to get shoved in your face on every single google-related page/product?

It almost was. S&P decided against it at the last minute, despite saying they would initially.

Don't worry, they made plenty with the pump-and-dump.

Fair point. The ban makes sense.

Seems a little drastic; couldn't they simply block domains and forbid vpns? Throwing the baby out with the bathwater seems counter-productive when a laptop is so essential for modern classes (far as I can see, I went to school in the pre-laptop era).

I can't think of one person in this administration who is not a criminal.

If you find out, let me know. I would only need to do it once and be set.

Classic "glass floor" hire. Take the fall, get paid.

Sure, but lots of people are way more susceptible. Self-reflection is important here. The ability to question one's state and beliefs is the only tool to combat propaganda. Most people don't seem to do that; they parrot party lines and stay glued to their "news" networks.

Children are not emotionally or intellectually prepared to repel this hostile takeover of their minds.

Neither are most adults. The current situation in the world is plenty of evidence for that.

Please travel back to 2003 and talk to old me when I could only afford one AP and had no idea how to make them work in concert together. :)

Yeah, I loved it because it allowed me to boost the signal above FCC-approved power requirements and saturate my house with that sweet 2.4GHz connection everywhere.

Off topic, but what amuses me about the "Wrt" name is that it was originally alternate firmware for the Linksys WRT54G router from 25 years ago. The name has stuck for whatever reason; I guess since only geeks use it and know what it is.

And I don't, save for a Super Bowl square or fantasy football entry fees. My point is that it's doing real damage to the most vulnerable and acting like it's some flippant choice is both myopic and selfish.

The unprecedented era of gambling on literally everything everywhere is an absolute cancer on society, made completely legal by absolute greed and degeneracy at the highest levels of government. I don't know how we put this genie back in the bottle (amongst many detrimental genies).

U.S. President Donald Trump called FIFA to ask it to review the case

Gotta cash in that Peace Prize sometimes, I guess

saying world soccer's governing body had "crossed a red line" and undermined the integrity of the game

Ah yes, the bastion of integrity defending truth and justice.

They moved all the Mechanical Turk workers over to robot and autotaxi piloting.

Would you say this research is out of... Cornell?

Gold statues, ring-kissing, and total fealty to the military's desires?

Looks like the White House is the happy owner of a new gold statue then?

"Very legal and very cool"

They also want to continue to use Tesla as the piggy bank to offset the (vast) losses by the other companies. Once the "dump" phase is finished on the SpaceX pump-and-dump, Tesla will swoop in and buy SpaceX (or vice versa) in some all-stock deal and arbitrarily value it at $2 trillion.

Ha, as if.

While unanimous support from the advisors is a positive sign for the vaccine’s fate, the FDA ultimately decides whether to grant approval. The agency has set a deadline for a decision by August 5.

They'll just ban it again. Science got a temporary victory but I predict it won't matter.

Just grease the right tanned palms, and you're good to go!

I don’t see us as the US on the right path.

I think this can be said in many contexts these days.

The whole point of the phone is that you don't install or uninstall apps. They're there, and are immutable as far as I can tell.

_EDIT_

raffael_de is absolutely correct, apps can be installed and removed, as they have their own "app store". Apologies for creating confusion and thanks for pointing it out.
