Having a healthy work life balance doesn't preclude self study. As a matter of fact, instead of losing a few family days for the privilege to clink with some tech bros, I rather prefer watching the recordings on fast forward past the u

Unlimited supply yes, but highly limited usage for them. So even if a few will work for free, the rest will be starving, and angry.

So you end up with a huge starved mob trying to come all over your mansions and islands. I somehow think Musk totally capable of nuking those mobs, or unleash the (future) AI dogs over them, because the mob cannot produce anymore (because o

Here I usually get flak for claiming Linux desktop is simply still not there for my granps, and I think it's (the flak) totally undeserved: the gramps have zero chance to update it, and for me it's a whole afternoon mucking with c

And with the social media of today, they also got a performant platform for wider and broader congregation, with the effects that we see.

All the more ironic nowadays because the most popular politicians are the highest value extractors who moved the value production overseas, leaving the now jobless voters angry instead with... immigrants/lgbtqa+/other races/o

That's the very point of this discussion: not everybody cares abut the platform. As long browsing and office work, half (or more) of the population would never know a Windows from a Mac. And they shouldn't either. PS video and mus

Can you please explain how is Trump outside the establishment? Or rather, of which establishment is he outside?

So they did it for the fun of it? Because "minor" is still not zero.

The jihad driver chooses usually a person at random. If it ran over some army general who led an attack in Iraq would it still be terrorism? Because that's the difference here.

According to your given examples/definition, under which one would this act fall? Because it's very much not clear to me how they would apply, but to you it seems obvious, so please do explain.

It's difficult to not be sarcastic but let me try my best: Venice sinking is what happens when water is rising.

Does it really matter if my house burns because of pole drift or because of climate change? I don't like it burning either way. So if there is something I can do against my house burning, (and I know there are things I can do against t

Said the American living in a log cabin in Montana. But if you're from, say, Tuvalu, or Venice, the 15cm rise of the last decades is definitely noticeable, and the trend has no reason to stop or decrease.

Naming this "oblivious" hides ill intent. And by that I mean, I assume they knew and know exactly the possible implications and decided to throw everybody under the bus for shareholder value. Am I wrong to assume this?

Health insurance abuses got a quite different slap recently.

Please allow me to be cynical and see here no embarrassment whatsoever. They cashed on this for years and will surely find other ways (and have some already) to further cash on people. It's only one of the schemes which got foiled, and

Some trade war from the XIX century or something? Or maybe because dolls were historically thought for girls?

This might be the very reason they prefer to call you, to force you into rushed decisions. Because otherwise I can't imagine the reason for spending scheduling time and minutes (hours) of chitchat just to answer a couple of very basic

I only know a few users but they all (three, one being my kid) have covered their console in stickers, so that monochrome is completely hidden.

And now the funny part: even after they failed to prove there's a crime, the Swiss police still often refuses to release the money.

Are you sure the "any amount" generalization is true? I know in Switzerland of money confiscated at border control for simple suspicion, but we are talking (tens of) thousands. Although there's a certain obligation of declara
