Best part is that they just went bankrupt after buying it in 2022 for 375 million dollars.

Again, it’s their point that they dont need to change the law, just that the law should just be applied better.
Thats what the court will decide.
It can be. I often find it “bursty.” I’ve had months at a time when I had stand-ups and then “do whatever you want” for the rest of the day. I generally did do useful work, but there were plently of days when I was just chilling out.
Ive also had months where I ran from fire to fire while on fire, spreading even more fire. Also, there was fire.
It juat depends. If some org treats you as disposable, pays like shit and lights your hair on fire as you walk in, y’all should walk back out. The next org will probally treat you better, because there are good orgs out there. Even the good places get busy for a bit though. Just make sure that busy comes with money and that it ends at some point.
Just really, really blunt the swords edges.
It was a nazi rally organized by nazis where they literally marched down the street in columns at night with flaming torches shouting “blood and soil” and “the jews will not replace us,” both Nazi slogans. One of the nazis rammed his car into a crowd a anti racist protests at high speed, killling 1 and injuring dozens.
This is the rally he replied to with “there are fine people on both sides.” He then hedged and said he didn’t support nazis, seconds after supporting nazis.
It’s almost like the man could have flat out condemned nazis with no intentional ambiguity, but nah.
The IAs point is that they should not have to do that, partly because of first sale doctrine. They bought each ebook, and only lend out that copy, the exact same as libraries do now.
1 bought copy, 1 lend. That’s a fair and simple system that mimics hundreds of years of physical book lending.
Their other point is that the societal good of allowing anyone in the world to educate themselves for free far, far outweigh the value of monetary gain for publishers. Since copyright is intended to help society, their interpretation is the better application of it.
Idk man. Tasha seems like she could lean in to it.
I think data has seen some things.
I think we should still be mad at foreign adversary nations colluding with one of our politcal parties and a not at all impartial “whistleblower” to turn the tide of a presidential election.
The emails themselves were barely relevant at all politically. Out of some 30k of them, 3 were found to be inappropriately controlled. Thats hardly an earth shattering discovery.
The spectacle that Assange, the GOP and Russia manufactured was the issue. It was a coordinated and targeted attack on our democracy, and he deserves to be derided for his outsized part in it.
Those bombshells didn’t end the war.
His leak during the 2016 election changed the course of American history, and was directly coordinated with Russia. That was far more impactful.
“per vehicle” losses are a weird metric. Each truck does not cost them 130k more than they are selling it for. That number is just the total revenue/vehicles sold. That “per vehicle” loss includes things like buying expensive machinery, buildings and various other investments in their infastructure.
For decades Amazon also did not turn a profit, but it was because they poured that money back into their infastructure instead. It would have been a super weird metric to say that amazon lost $.000000003/widget sold.
Once those investments are done, their numbers will flip drastically, as long as they dont overextend and they survive as a company. The recent 5 billion investment from Volkswagen should help there.
Nuanced? That sounds like your HR/Management is just bad at their jobs. Why post an advert for a job that you won’t fill because it’s the wrong job, then actually interview people? That’s a huge waste of everyone’s time.
The first step when a role is open is to have the team review and update the job for the necessary skillset. Not doing that is a buisness process failure.
They arent dead, but they are in the millions of users, not hundreds of millions.
That is enough to sustain a social media platform, but none of them fully have the network effect going for them yet.
With federation, hopefully they won’t need it. That can be the network effect once interoperability is really here. Then everyone can still communicate, but not be beholden to any one service/owner/etc.
Planet crafter is supposed to have solid multiplayer if you like satisfactory style build/resource games.
Why talk about the structure of our government? Education, general interest, activism?
Why are you wasting time talking about wasting time if it’s just wasting time?
A fine take on this classic:
The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.
Anatole France
I’m talking about our broken government system, not what’s helpful. The fact that a constitutional convention is impossible is exactly the problem. Its why many parts of our democracy are broken, and will likely ultimately be the downfall of our nation.
Thr founders called the Constitution a living document, with Jefferson specifically talking about how it must change to as American changes. To do that, they put in a wildly difficult mechanism that is nearly impossible to actually invoke, and added lifetime arbiter roles that can opt to unwind any law not written in pen and ink on that same paper.
Those are critical fuckups if you intend to have a living document and a shapeable democracy.
Our election cycle cant be curtailed or shifted because our constitution can’t realistically be amended to match the saner policies in other countries. When our constitution is so antiqued that that “money is speech” becomes the law of the land, there is a core problem with the founding document itself.
How it that not related to our election cycle?
That’s violation 17.
The process to amend the constitution. It’s all but impossible given modern politics, and that’s largely been true for 50 years and counting.
The protagonist thought that “baby shoes” would be “babies, as shoes.” It’s either very morbid or weirdly cute.
It’s like assuming “girl scout cookies” have “girl scouts” as an ingredient.
