A reasonable response with worries we also share. Thanks for that.

I’m from Europe and don’t understand why this should not just be resolved with taxes on the companies.

The record profits of the companies are in my vision because the company does not have to do anything for the healthcare and pensions. So if the company does not have to care for it, but society requires it, this is where the government needs to act. Tax the companies and arrange healthcare and retirement stipends. This solves one issue by solving the other, allowing the company to keep doing what it’s doing without having to think about healthcare… that has been resolved.

Individuals then have retirement benefits and can use private retirement insurance to supplement this.

Defense industry will make this happen if it’s viable. War industry drives much of this. So we will see

A few hundred losing their jobs is kinda misrepresenting the situation isn’t it. If you keep seeing each company by itself in terms of firings but then group the market as a whole in terms of people with money in the market.

It’s either a few thousand with money in the company vs the people fired from that company… Or the market vs all people fired in the market during these waves.

Plus… when you are one of the fired people the impact can be deeply impactful, in the US even as far as having no health insurance. While less profit does not have such an impact.

Unity is firing people as a result of a failed monetization attempt by the chief executive. I would argue the employees should have a case against the company and the chief executive. As this was so poorly implemented, fault could be argued.

That was the risk of remaining on the platform the moment musk took over. And if not then, when he started stripping it down and making it less reliable. And if not then, maybe when he started pursuing shadow banning again.

No government or news business has any business anymore being on Twitter. They should use the fedpub protocol and push out their messages there.

This will allow their readers/citizens to use a broad scala of apps to read them, allows more 3rd party apps to integrate them.

Governments and newspapers must hold the reigns over their own infra or risk this happening.

It will be interesting to know if the cables for these things can handle the load. On an individual level probable, but on larger scale?

Absolutely. Hence my original call for a criminal investigation to see if they indeed accepted the risks knowingly as then they should be held accountable.

Like I think all upper management of big oil that knew what they where doing to the planet should be tried in the Hague for Crimes against humanity. I don’t care if they are old and long retired, concentration camp guards are also still tried after all these years.

Maybe they can rent some production space in seattle :P

This is indeed what I meant. I don’t think that someone was actively trying to make the plane unsafe, but in the eternal quest for more profit engineers, best practices and safety reports where ignored to make the plane as cheap as possible, resulting in the current flying grounded deathtrap.

But it was so cheap… Would they think of the shareholders!

They really screwed the pooch with the 737 max9… it’s like the gift that keeps on giving.

I think internal documents and communication should be seized and a federal criminal investigation is in order… someone must have actively fucked with this.

Embrear and Airbus are uncorking the champagne now probably.

My point exactly. Maybe this data should be required to be disclosed.

Mine too. I more mean that what is put on the sticker for sales. That should be an accurate average range for normal use.

Yes we can haggle over “normal use” but the bottom line is that the ranges advertised should be better representative of reality.

All these manufacturers collect tons of data. There is no reason range estimates can’t be better.

We agree in the most part, and I’m happy the dev they tried to strongarm had a spine and called them out. That put a stop to that pretty quick.

Any monopolist behavior is bad imho, but I can see room for limited exclusivity. But not copyright, 100 years after the authors death limited… 6 months maybe 12… that’s it.

Yeah I sort of get what you are saying. But I see it as less of an issue. The Devs take a pay for timed exclusivity and this helps development. But in the end the exclusivity will go away as devs will in no way keep part of 5heir consumerbase from their product. And I can wait… But I see your point fo sho!

competition is good for the games market. Steam needs a well funded co petitie of note. This helps drive innovation and keeps prices down.

Haha… I read it for the articles.

This would be an excellent idea for toll highway owners. If the toll is more than what they need to pay google.

Wanting privacy is OK, and your link to the video on the face ID of the bank also helped explain what you where talking about.

It’s the way you wrote it that came across if you where some conspiracy nutcase and that causes downvotes.

Many people share concerns about the use and storage of PII by for profit companies and governments without any oversight on what actually happens with the data. It is good that waryness on who you provide what data to is Becoming more mainstream. I remember years ago people would look at me funny if I replied “no thank you” when asked my zip code in a store. Now a lot more people do it.
