but to share the gains from new technologies AI has nothing to do with this. Worker productivity has already been shooting up and workers have been given nothing to match their efforts. As long as capitalism is the default economic system

It was part "decadence", part practical. The tax code in the past was gamified to promote philanthropy (or at least erect buildings with your name on them), rather than simply not paying.

People have been detained/face deportation for activism against other foreign countries, so why not? The point is: if the admin wants you gone, or doesn't want to let you in, they'll use anything as pretense.

Why selectively put this onus on the person you've responded to and not the person at the top of this thread?

There was no grief in my case. I was recently in Italy with my mother. With a picture of a Tylenol bottle, before I could even utter sto cercando... , the pharmacist quickly gave her a box of something. I think it was called panadol.

The government gives plenty of help to banks. I don't think their role here is unreasonable. The solution is to tighten/enforce regulations around bank accounts & make the penalties mean something. Two wrongs don't make a

The banks have some responsibility here, and the article brings this up. The banks' response involved saying they can't keep up with volume and shifts blame to social media for some reason. You gotta understand, there's the l

FIFA 09 and TF2 were both huge mainstream games that had loot crates/microtransactions 15 years ago. Others followed suit immediately. Tons of cookie cutter free to play online games (think Facebook FarmVille style games) did as well.

If you don't have to worry about work requirements for life's necessities along with zoning laws to support them, the economic viability of operating unique, niche establishments goes up. That said, there are probably 0 employees

The lesson they have learned is that people who care, can tell the difference and shop with them are such a small minority that it isn't worth it to their bottom line to address this. The government doesn't seem to care either.

This is not necessarily tech driven. People are extroverted or introverted. Pre smartphone, when I was alone on the bus or subway, I always had my nose in a paper or a book. Now it's my phone or a Kobo. I didn't like and wasn&#x27

The economy has taught us that when there is an excess of worker productivity, it leads to layoffs. It certainly does not lead to raises.

Yes. Assume your users have a poor or metered connection. I don't want unnecessary things (like images) to load because it takes time, eats at my data quota and to be frank, I don't want people looking over my shoulder at media on

You can become rich enough that you can afford to give away a dollar to someone every second and still be rich. For some perspective, this full amount is about 33% of annual income of $100mm. The richest people make well more than this. Con
