"USB dongles are absolutely standard in pro audio" Ok. I don't work in pro audio. So that doesn't mean much to me.

The other guy didn’t start anything. The plain fact of the matter is that Musk did absolutely nothing to help, and the sub was nothing more than a publicly stunt.

This is a terrible attitude. Deciding that companies should have free reign to do whatever has had disastrous consequences in the past, and today would be no different.

"How much time, energy, and capital is appropriate to expend on this situation?" That's none of my concern. I honestly do not care about how much trouble this kind of thing is for AirBnB and other such companies.
845.
by s73v3r_ 8y ago
And we as consumers care about that why? It's not my concern that providing an actual answer might get them in trouble.

I disagree. This is not AirBnB deciding they just don't like someone. This is AirBnB deciding to ban someone because they gave a negative review. I think the world where you're banned from services for speaking honestly about them

I hope so, but given the current political climate in the US, I'm not confident.

I guess they were thinking that the owner probably didn't have a choice. When the restaurant is just starting, they probably didn't have anyone to take over for them.

Being treated with dignity by companies should not depend on how many friends I have.

Sadly in the US, this isn't a channel we have available much. The FCC just announced that they're just gonna tell you to go pound sand unless you pay them. State Attorneys General can still do things, sometimes.

They're not the only ones. T-Mobile does something similar.

"But who regulates the regulators?" The voters. "You're right, companies don't generally care about me. But neither does the Social Security Administration, the Department of Justice, my local police department, my

I dunno, I think there is a significant sentiment in the US that regulation is bad, period. There was the idea that Trump floated that was quite popular with his base that they would blanket eliminate 2 regulations for every one enacted.

So.... what's new this time around from when we had this same discussion a week or two ago? I agree these are bad, but what are we actually gonna do about them?

Honestly, a big part of it is the lack of ethics training that engineers receive. Far too many engineers have a, "The problem is fun/interesting, that's all the further I'm going to think about it. The implications of wh

They're targeting those firms because they're the ones running roughshod over users.

Or just not allow such proceedings to happen.

In general I probably agree with you. But I seriously can not comprehend how that applies to the example given in the parent post.

At the same time, you can also fight back against companies that would seek to cut corners with milk production.

You're not technically wrong, but most of us don't have the good fortune to work in an organization where we can "be real". Yet, we still have to put food on the table. You, in the organization you work in, might feel co

I don't believe it's self-destructive to hold our companies accountable for what they do. Many of us also agree with what the EU is doing, and wish our government would get up off it's ass and do the same thing.

"There is no responsibility attached to it" That's not true at all. There is always responsibility attached to power. "The truly sad thing is that you expect them to act responsibly" Why? Why is it sad that a person

"Just so I have this straight - you're saying the reason that the people of Flint haven't had their water problems fixed yet is because the billionaire class only cares about getting something in return from such an action?&q

by s73v3r_ 8y ago
Pedantic point: Elon's not going to fix Flint's water. He's going to offer to install filters on people's homes.

Which you may have done several decades ago.

I've never heard the idea that opposition is because of government finding out who you voted for. I've always heard it be a case of voter suppression.

by s73v3r_ 8y ago
Because there are a significant amount of people who don't have any. Seriously, there are a lot of elderly people who simply have no need for a driver's license, so they don't have one. And if they're old enough, it&#x27

" I don't think it should be federal level government doing net neutrality." Why should your right to information change because you moved 5 miles in one direction?
