I am not against idea of only net tax payers getting single vote. Say if you use government services or receive money such as grant that is counted against your total. If you own part of corporation that gets such support that is counted ag

And at level that Gates operates charity of itself is form of power and influence. Not rich people spending money on these things is bad. But sometimes I just question motivations as a whole.

Thankfully my company uses Teams. So I don't need Discord for that. As non-nitro uses it works fine for text chat.

I have never seen true need to get Nitro. Missing on some things but if someone wants to pay for it let them. Big question is how else would they make money? Monetise hosting "servers" directly? Would they have even gotten commun

Sometimes I wonder if we discover that "ceramic" is also bad for health. As I understand it is really not meaningfully defined. And I also think about having heard that it is sometimes sacrificial that is that it wears out... Mean

If they paid for tokens say via subscriptions. Wouldn't that just be same as acquiring books and using them as "fair use" to train? I really see no difference.

If someone gives LLM control of such lab my best guess is soon they have no lab... Actually giving LLMs control of virus lab might be best thing one can do for continued existence of humanity.

It will most likely cause issues. On other hand it really might be existence that quite a lot people prefer. Not having to put any effort into anything at all...

I am fine that estate gets to keep rights for whatever period is left. If estate is dissolved ofc rights would also end. So they can't be orphaned. Either someone has them or they are public domain.

I agree 20 or 25 years should be plenty of time to protect artistic work. No other industry or line of work has anything like that protection. A work published today by 10 year old could stay in protection for nearly 200 years. If that pers

Honestly if company size of Amazon is not doing their due diligence that is their own fault. It is not that big of ask for them to spend say a day or week evaluating these things.

Makes one think really. If they are doing this stuff. Why don't they have some type of reverse intrusion detection? Like automatically scanning all out going traffic and flagging malicious traffic. Should be trivial to have it go throu

And also if AI is so great creating your own community or place to host stuff should be trivial. Zero effort really. So I really see no reason to co-opt existing place. As they are already making money with AI so hosting costs are really no

Depends on how it manifests. If things change every app release sometimes for better sometimes for worse and nothing really stays consistent over time it is clearly bad for user. Users really like stability of their experience. They want th

Make me always question what is going on in these companies. They are essentially a middle man reoffering payment providers services. Host some content. Lot of time just links to external platforms. There is some marketing but not really th

It is the fundamental question of is there enough willing buyers. And I am doubting that very much. Next step is to question if there is enough willing buyers and they are replacing white collar workers. Do these customers then have enough

Just because you are making free software doesn't mean you should get everything for free.

I feel that decades of dumping by VC and advertisement supported platforms have really lead to massive entitlement. People really feel that they should have full right to use any amount of "free" resources for anything. Even if th

It is expensive in every developed country. USA just have made everyone involved to try to maximise their profits by shadiest possible practises. Other places are less expensive. But it does not mean they are cheap. At least in as far as yo

Real truth is that health care just is massively expensive. Any efficiency gains that are also somewhat limited have been overshot by more "products". Nurses and doctors can only handle so many patients. This has not increased tha

I am less exuberant on market willing to pay the rates that are need to cover the loan servicing costs of these investments. Numbers look really suspicious because they are so significant compared to economy in general.

Certainly in Europe there is view that author has moral rights over their work. And the view has affected how international copyright framework operates.

So they can add employees endlessly? And still make same revenue? Increasing employees only scale so far at those numbers.

Market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent... Simply choosing not to get involved might be most reasonable action.

Massively. Extracting more useful energy from coal has always been a goal. Very much unlike with software. Where the goal for long while is to burn as many resources as possible on end user devices.

And I would not be so sure about cloud... It is like building massive brothel and then the rush simply going away and you still having loan to pay.

When from what I have understood they can easily deploy fully featured alternative in afternoon or less. Just take a single weekend and they have as good place to host their code ready, tested and secure. So should not in anyway be a big de

They really should go and buy out Reevo. Or rebrand their bikes. E-Bikes with perfect futuristic design (almost non-functional). Would be right up their alley.

They don't even have dealers that could throw this stuff in instead of real discount...
