I'm still suspicious of actions like this: https://abcnews.com/US/dominion-voting-systems-sold-company-...

This is not new. Way back in the day, you could see and add reviews to Guantanamo Bay on google maps. They were absolutely hilarious since most were trolly reviews of the music (which detainees were forced to endure) and the food (force fed to those on hunger strikes). Suffice to say, that did not last very long.

Steinbeck by far. The Grapes of Wrath is frighteningly relevant now even almost 100 years later..

Sure, call it that. They Googled it on their comperensive, nation-wide, unlimited access, fully indexed and integrated surveillance network (with 83,000 edge nodes)

Cool website! Some examples I was aware of before:

Naval oranges are all clones from a single mutant tree too

Nothing like the bait and switch of a hardwood floor going from pristine in the AI photo to absolutely trash IRL

We used to call that window shopping and it was free. Now get off my lawn!

What??

Looks like a riff of the fake online shopping site. Kinda funny that the premise could be legit: All the novelty seeking and exploration behaviour and none of financial burden (or in this case, calories)

Multiple layers is a favourable way to say quid pro quo

Steel on its own is inert and useless, you need to retain the entire downstream manufacturing ecosystem that consumes it. Like cars for example, producing steel but letting all your vehicle manufacturers sell off to foreign owners just so you can import BYDs doesn't do you any good.

Look, all I did was kidnap the man down the street, lock him in my basement and made his family pay me tithes. Ok, I also cut the gas lines into his neighbours house too and threatened to move in. Ok, ok, ok, I also threatened some of the other neighbours too. Still, I don't understand why everyone hates me.

And if it gets popular enough it can become proper!

Just going to leave this here as an example use-case:

Are you sure? Most people live in urban centers the last few generations and see few if any stars in the night sky

I've never seen a glacier before, have you?

I don't understand because I'm not American but how does New York the city have such powers? At least where I am, cities aren't really "real" in that they are constructs the provincial government creates (and can uncreate). A city here could never make such a ban.

Money is real. DAU that don't pay subscriptions, or don't lead to paid conversions on hosted ads, are worthless.

What a difference having proper 5th generation planes makes

America is leading the way on that one:

Just give them some exercise bikes to pedal to keep them physically occupied

Now that justice by official channels is closed, one wonders if a grieving parent will seek it out by unofficial means

I believe we're at the point where living in modern society and dodging these abusive EULAs is nigh impossible.

Your credit card company, every merchant you interact with, even your employer's payroll processor all sell your data.

I guess if you work under the table cash-only jobs, only purchase items in-person, again cash only, and don't use any apps on your phone you are safe from corporate snooping?

Instacart users should be upset about their data being packaged up and sold. Or maybe there should be half-decent privacy laws that protect them. Otherwise you just get this corporate-orwellianism.

Anyways, I wonder if instacart can predict political affiliation. I bet their data scientists have at least tried.

What, you don't run through the checkout process on each of 100 different Airbnb listings and compile a spreadsheet of results to ascertain the true prices after fees and charges? That's gotta be the best part of vacation planning after buying plane tickets!

Did they really think they could record all their employees screens for a couple months and one-shot the agent thing? This is like junior engineer "let's refactor this monolith" levels of delusion.

I'm still waiting for this theory to demonstrate itself in countries that already have labour surplesses
