I thought you generally knew what you were talking about till i read this. Now I am wondering if you know anything at all.

Garry is buying horses for all the defenders in this thread.

No he wont fund your startup.

I think the reality is that it is harder to sell a subscription to a button than it is to software.

I guess the same goes for why the Americans attempt export controls in 2026

Need to smear some A1 on those NFTs to get the job done properly.

I am generally not in favor of adding regulation

Then let the market decide.

It is still, as far as I am aware, possible to steal a rental car.

Kinda glossed over the whole IP theft industrial espionage thing.

Not at all ironic given the shrieking about China.

strangely, that is exactly how the system works.

They are (subtly) saying cyber criminals are all from / in other countries.

It is very basic maths as well (that evades most small time landlords).

100% occupancy at 90% of the market price with high quality tenants makes you more money than 80% occupancy + agent advertising / finding fees at full market price with bad tenants.

everything bubble except gold , oil, and other commodities

and wages for everyday working joes

but Nvidia tho

The rules are clear. There is one set for them and one set for us, we are afterall The Good Guys (tm)

I think you are seeing things from a bubble.

Most people in the country dont give a shit about historical injustices and are worried about how they are going to pay their rent or put food on the table today.

What is it specifically that company management is worried about?

As with all hype techs, even the most talented management are barely literate in the product. When talking about their new trillion $ product they must take their talking points from the established literature and "fake it till they make it".

If the other big players say "billions of parameters" you chuck in as many as you can. If the buzz words are "tokens" you say we have lots of tokens. If the buzz words are "safety" you say we are super safe. You say them all and hope against hope that nobody asks a simple question you are not equipped to answer that will show you dont actually know what you are talking about.

Plastic is the foundation of so many aspects of modern life

I genuinely can not think of a single product that only exists thanks to plastic.

From the original "experiment" https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/24/worlds-biggest-4-day-workwee...

The experiment uses a 100-80-100 model: workers get 100% of the pay for working 80% of the time in exchange for delivering 100% of their usual output.

Would only be assuming, however, given the success it would appear that it was achieved.

fwiw I do not think that I have encountered a "knowledge worker" who couldnt do 100% of their job in 80% of the time with minimal effort. Manual jobs / service jobs obviously different of course.

I'm ok, I self identify as a black woman.

Just fire people and say you over-hired, holy cow.

That would be the "lazy" way out. It would also be simple, fast, honest, straightforward and show respect to everyone involved.

The political class and media STILL to actively ridicule China's Great Firewall while proposing the same thing while claiming that it is "completely different".

Wait till you hear their thoughts on the disgusting social credit system ...

The conservative party bears the mark of a party of the uneducated and unemployed.

As little as laywers bring to the table, its at least something.

prisons don't work, don't deter crime, don't rehabilitate... for poor people

rich people on the other hand

as a former choir boy ... well, let me not finish that sentence

tldr: it did not perform well enough to be useful

I concur

I suspect you will find "too big to fail" in the utilities sector pre-dates by a couple of decades.

she risked people's lives

She was found not guilty of that bit. The conviction and jail time is only for defrauding the investors.

Probably the way that for most people "free open source software" means 1) Zero cost 2) Some other stuff

"Yes, we fund Matrix dev by selling encrypted messaging to governments, which includes police: if you don’t like that then please feel free to use a different app."

People are incredibly comfortable with everyone elses privacy and rights being violated

Could have done it with poop emojis on twitter
