It's actually a good thing that it failed. That failure is creating jobs, keeping people employed, and keeping money flowing in the economy. The longer it takes for Blue Origin to work out the flaws in their system, the better it is fo

It has always been a controversial statement. How are you supposed to learn without doing? Who sets the bar for when you have achieved understanding? And finally, in specific instances of creating front ends that are inclusive for users, I

I wouldn't feel too bad about that. This is what insurance coverage is for. All cities and municipalities carry insurance to cover police brutality and overreach, so worst case their premiums go up a few tens of thousands of dollars a

If corporations are people, and they kill someone, why do they only have to pay a fine and/or possibly elect certain employees to go to prison? I can't poison a billion+ people like monsanto did and then pay a portion of the profi

A LOT of people are ditching windows. The only Windows computer I have left out of 5 is a work pc. CachyOS is pretty amazing, too.

There is a reason why justice is always depicted as blind and holding a scale. What matters is the law, not who the law is applied to or the circumstances for invoking that specific law.

I would say the other way around, that GLP-1 should be tried before surgery.

The #1 thing for me at Costco is the gas. I have the credit card, so I get 5% cash back on the first $7,000 of gas I purchase in a year. Being as that, as of now I am spending ~$70/week on fuel, I will not hit the max for the year. But

Parents have to pay penalties when their underaged children burn down a building. Companies that get treated with the rights of people should also have the responsibilities of people. Google designed, built, hosted, and promoted their LLM p

Even if they're not free, they're pretty inexpensive. Worst case you have to pay to have the other side served. Also, if you decide to use a lawyer and either you or the person who defrauded you lives in certain states, you can al

Well, in that case they are no longer the platform they claimed to be but are wearing an edgar suit shoddily masquerading as the original.

Exactly this. My issue with Microslop isn't that they're using AI, that is its own can of worms. It's the fact that they were forcing it into MY computer, using MY bandwidth for THEIR profit goals. The lack of consent was the

Yeah, $700 is worth a lawsuit. eBay knows who the buyer is and would be required to turn over the transcripts of the conversations to the court, and if you're suing the buyer eBay's arbitration system wouldn't protect them. T

eBay has also started doing strongarm middleman things as well. If you list an item, it strongly "suggests" a price. Sounds innocuous, right? However, when every seller knows they would be stupid to list a product for less than th

Mine was a Casio fx-something. Teachers didn't like it but it didn't let me cheat and it was just the right amount of functionality to help me with math. Carried me through Pre-Cal, Trig, Calculus and Differential Equations.

They should go the Apple route and rewrite their entire OS from the ground up and relegate all compatibility issues to a Proton-esque interpretation layer. That's what they should do. But they won't, because every decision maker a

The enshittification process milks the current product of all of the money that can be wrung from it by any means just shy of immolation. Companies aren't getting cheap loans right now so they're desperate to juice their stocks so

Pretty simple. If the only way McDonalds could make burgers to sell you was by abusing farm animals to do it, in manners far in excess of modern farming practices, wouldn't you agree that it is better that McDonald's went out of b

This is my darkly optimistic take on enshittification: Companies know how to make good product, but if they don't have "new and shiny" to impress us anymore, then their only alternative is to make things worse so they can hee

Any time people want to unionize, it's good for the customers even if it means the business goes under. Sure, they won't get to be customers any longer if that happens, but at least it will increase the likelihood that the product
