“Only FDA-approved substances will be allowed” (but we’re not going to do any testing so go wild!)

Thinking Uber is worse than taxis shows how little people remember about how bad they really were.

I mean, it might be as simple as “my alternative conservative candidate is no longer in the running”. It could take a lot of diving into the stats to figure out the actual cause and effect.

This guy is a real goofball, I really enjoyed his storytelling.

Looks like a cool concept. I’m curious to see what the numbers say about its feasibility though.

I wonder what the stats look like for profit rather than revenue. A digital company like Google should have higher margins than a product company.

Brilliant! You could have an overarching storyline of brief dialogues interrupted by full games of Civilization.

Why should how wealthy you are factor into how much you pollute? Per capita is the only sensible measurement here.

Privacy is implied when you say “innocent until proven guilty”. Surveillance assumes the opposite.

Yep, graphing calculators are a forced necessity for school, therefore they can charge anything they want and people will still buy them. This kind of artificial demand causes extreme price inelasticity and is capitalism at its worst.

Same deal with university books, you are forced to buy them so they cost hundreds of dollars, when they could easily be sold at a profit for a quarter of the cost.

Agreed, I’m going to need more detailed instructions.

I wish we could get immunized via candy, might be fewer anti-vaxxers.

Yep, might be the only business savvy move Twitter has made since Musk took over.

If that’s truly the case, nothing on earth can protect your data.

That being said, large corporations are far more liable to consumer protection lawsuits, especially in areas like the EU.

No, but it also stands to profit from those violations of consumer rights, where other countries do not.

I believe pixart sigma is more open. The community hasn’t rallied around it though.

Edit: Fuck yes, pixart is AGPL!

The easiest way is a sitewide NoAI meta tag, since it’s the current standard. Researchers are much more likely to respect a common standard and extremely unlikely to respect a single user’s personal solution adding a link to their comments.

Plus even if you defederate them, oops, it’s all public anyway!

Of course it helps. Sure, the first election wouldn’t see much change, but RCV emboldens third parties to exist and would give them a viable path towards displacing the establishment. Right now there is NO path.

That’s not exactly true, the manufacturing quality of LEGO has gone down in recent years after moving much of the manufacturing to China. For example, you’ll find more parts with ejection marks in them today than you used to.

Ironically there are a few good Chinese knockoff brands with superior quality now.
