All this does is make some poor offshore schmuck toil away for hours trying to get this data. If companies begin to _cancel_ their contracts with MSFT/GH because of a breach of SLAs, then maybe conditions will improve. Reality: compani

This is quite awful. Courts are doing nothing. Balance of powers, checks and balances have been weakened through attrition and external forces — wealthy businessmen/lobbyists.

Wow, rehashing the same platitudes that have been retold throughout the eternity. Why didn’t I think of this, bro? How insightful! When’s the masterclass drop?

Maintaining "independence" after selling the company to MSFT has always been a facade. Even from the perspective of the users, there was this palpable difference between before and after MSFT acquisition

How do you design for longevity when the idiots in the C-level executives don’t give a shit and only care about quarterly numbers? Stop trying to put blame on labor.

This country bailed out this industry multiple times in the past 20-25 years. Yet they continue to ignore investment in their own operations, and instead use it towards executive bonuses and stock buybacks. Anybody else tired of this broken

> ... American consumers will end up paying the tariffs This has always been the case. I have never heard of a company absorbing tariffs on behalf of consumers in the day and age of "trickle down economics".

The economy of "corruption" and "coercion" is Neoliberal Economics 101. Send your regards to pseudo economic theory from the Chicago School of Economics (ie, Milton Friedman); and to Reaganomics/trickle down economi

If US steps in to buy a troubled asset such as Intel after failing to convince TSMC to buy, this country is cooked. Did we learn _nothing_ from the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis? Let them fail.

I don’t get the appeal or desire of a 24/7/365 perimeter camera system on a _personal_ home. Society has truly gone downhill if individual homeowners need surveillance tech to appease their own fears in a _suburb_. At most, I woul

This is fascinating. Even supports simulating multiple modes of transportation (ped, bicycle, car…). I’ll have to give this a test run later.

One way to avoid “corporate raiders" and hostile takeovers is for companies to be owned by employees.

by xyst 1y ago
Maybe, but what’s to stop “scrappy upstart” from becoming the next HPE? We need companies owned by the people that built the company. Not by the C-level executives that are appointed by a board of billionaire lackeys, bankers, trust fund ki
