Ah! I seem to have missed the sublinks-chatter. Good to hear there’s an alternative in flight. I assumed after the money-related-tomfoolery that the talks to migrate to a new platform were on hold indefinitely.
Right, I recall news from years ago where a bunch of celebrities’ very private photos backed up to iCloud were leaked. They may or may not have known they uploaded those to iCloud, I dunno. But imagine what’s up there if you don’t realize you’re doing a backup. Not just photos, but like scanned documents with vulnerable information. And all that personal info in a centralized server is a big ol honeypot for a malicious actor.
It’s not hard to see why this is a vulnerability, is what I’m getting at.
I would question the efficiency claim. Uber and the like claimed incredible market dominance, driving local food delivery and taxi services out of business. They’re only now really being forced to find profitability.
I wonder if AI is going to be similar. The powerful models right now, as I understand it, have ludicrous power requirements. I don’t know their balance sheets, but in the current race to market share, I’m skeptical that most of these services are in the green.
What that ultimately says about the future I don’t really know. Like it could be we reach some point where the models get better, or more specialized, or something and profit arrive. Or maybe theres a point of diminishing returns where the profit just can’t be made, and once the hype falls off (and investors stop clamoring for AI) these companies will ask what they’re getting for the money spent.
(And of course I could just be straight up wrong about profits today not being there.)
Flavored tobacco was literally marketed to children, to get them addicted to cigarettes from an early age. The “protect the children” arguments are often used to ban things that made no impact or even positive impact in children’s lives (DnD, sexual equality). Or it’s used to justify surveillance and overreach (porn bans and she verification laws)
These aren’t equivalent.
It comes from the case against Henry Ford after he saw his company was making gobs of cash and decided to give some of that to his employees. Shareholders successfully sued him to stop this on the grounds that he has a fiduciary duty to shareholders.

As with anything legal, there is nuance, but the basic assertion that there is fiduciary duty to shareholders is not wrong.
Why would you say that? Do you think everyone is just really jazzed about death? I think you seem to have missed the point of the outcry.
You really can. Right to work, + free speech is only applicable wrt the government.
The fact that it’s legal does not make it moral.
Not the person you responded to, but: left economically is not left socially.
Also, it’s cheap to speak total bullshit, but it takes time, effort, and energy, to dispel it. I can say the moon is made of cheese, you can’t disprove that. And you can go out and look up an article about the samples of moon rock we have and the composition, talk about the atmosphere required to give rise to dairy producing animals and thus cheese.
And I can just come up with some further bullshit that’ll take another 30 minutes to an hour to debunk.
If we gave equal weight to every argument, we’d spend our lives mired in fact-checking hell holes. Sometimes, you can just dismiss someone’s crap.
When Blue users where getting pushed to the top. The vitriol was always bad, but it was altogether too much when you couldn’t open the replies to anything without reading the most heinous shit imaginable.
Do you? Genuinely, not trying to snark. I see this point lots, but Im skeptical that people actually do.
As a dev, I read plenty of commits, and the idea of voluntarily prodding through commits on a FOSS project is just not happening. I’d rather just trust the dev, and the community to pick through the code in my place. The obvious issue being, what if everyone also does that.
Yeah. The “lesser of two evils” used to be about a republican being republican, and a Democrat at least pretending to be left of center. It wasn’t genocide or genocide.
And people wonder why younger voters don’t engage with the system.
Honestly I’m wondering if that ends up being much different than Biden? It’s not like we’re doing much right now to stop things. Maybe it takes four years of Biden to wipe out Gaza. Maybe it takes 4 months of Trump. The end result is genocide no matter what I do. At least then the democratic party might understand that you can’t play this game of lesser evils forever.
I don’t actually think a 3rd party will win. I’m more likely to write in “free Palestine” than pick a 3rd party.
But I’m wondering what I’m actually voting in favor of with Biden.
I just want to ask the question, will Biden actually improve things once he isn’t worried about burning the good will of voters? Can we only ever vote for genocide, or genocide with an apology tacked on to the end of it?
Sure but that’s not the question I’m trying to answer. I want to know, what will Biden actually do as president?
I can’t speak for the original commented, but I’m personally quite tired of the thin veneer that’s slapped into these statements. I would prefer a company just be honest and talk about the profit incentives. They want people using the free version to please pay for the expensive one.
For my experience, I still retain the general irritation at product quality going down regardless of how they word it. But now I’m also annoyed that MS isn’t being straightforward about it.
Wouldn’t you want to buy more during a plunge anyway? But low sell high and all that
