How much has been lost to the altar of shareholder value? And how much gained? It will be interesting to see how these first decades of the millennium will be remembered.

Extortion, essentially. Honey will actually give users the largest available discount if the retailer doesn't buy into the affiliate program (i.e. the retailer loses money). If they do agree, then the retailer can limit the coupons and

I'm not a lawyer by any means, but I don't see how it wouldn't be. But realistically, how worth it would it be for this graphic designer to battle a narcissistic, petty billionaire in court? US civil court is truly fucked. Cr

Sure, that makes sense, make the tax big enough to really hurt if they try to eat it. I guess if IP is off the table as well, nothing to stop someone from pirating every movie on netflix and launching a clone for EU! Im curious for some mor

I guess it just seems a bit pointless to attempt to tariff what is essentialy a monopoly. Google could pretty easily just pass on 100% of the costs of the tarrifs onto the consumer. Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if more American

Too little and too late, in my opinion. What even is facebook anymore? Feels like it is trying to be everything all at once, messaging platform, marketplace, business pages, groups, games, reels and livestreams. There's even a dating t

The one example listed in the article was starlink. What other "Big Tech" could even be realistically dinged by this? How do you tariff Adsense from google? Or 3rd party cell phones that run Android? Will they slap an upcharge on

Seems all the sufferers of this have come out in this thread. I really wonder how much of this is cultural. It's considered polite in many east asian cultures to eat and slurp loudly - it means you appreciate the food. I have to imagin

It's a nightmare for finding the original sources of images. For example, I was looking for a new sink basin and doing some quick image searches for various styles. All the ones I liked were pinterest posts with zero attribution. A rev

That's true, and I do enjoy not having to watch the races live at 4am in my time zone. Also, the only reason GM is still around is because of crazy government bailouts. So I guess I can pretend Ive helped fund an F1 team with my tax do

Wow, killer of a first paragraph. >Around 95 percent of this figure is attributable to 3,000 developers worldwide. In addition, open-source software is included in 96 percent of all codebases. Not shocking to see the big guns coming hard

Yeah, skirting the sanctions on russia to supply them with mills for weapons manufacturing wasn't a great look either. Plus the fact that they are awful at F1. Would be nice to have an American team that I could actually cheer for

I agree. To perceive is literally to bias. Perception, and by extension, ideaology cannot exist in a vacuum. Not even on just a human scale either. A camera "perceives" the world, but it's limited by the sepctra of its captur
