Having students bike the final mile sounds a lot like Theranos saying they could do all these amazing blood tests on their new, futuristic machine, only to find out that they’re still doing most of them the way all labs did them

That’s the core of the trial though, right? That through these deals and other things Google does to stay dominant, they stifle the market for competition. Ie Edge, Chrome, and every other Chromium-based browser pushes Google to the end users and FF pushes some unfamiliar search platform, then there’s an uphill, arguably unfair, battle for it to gain enough market share to be sustainable.

I watch/listen to Archer when I’m going to sleep. The coma seasons grew on me. A lot of great recurring jokes and references.

I will say this last season was absolutely the best of the post coma seasons. I don’t know if Adam Reed was more engaged since it was the last season (he had stepped back after the coma seasons) or if they just took more time to refine the episodes and jokes, but it just felt like everything clicked. Kind of made me sad it was the last season, but great that we’re getting a special finale!

Twitter’s definition of state-affiliated:

How state-affiliated media accounts are defined

State-affiliated media is defined as outlets where the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution. Accounts belonging to state-affiliated media entities, their editors-in-chief, and/or their prominent staff may be labeled. We will also add labels to posts that share links to state-affiliated media websites.

Conspiracy theories aside, AFAIK there’s no evidence that any level of the US government exercises control over NPR.

How is it state affiliated?

Ackshually!

Yes, I understand that’s the current structure. I’m saying there needs to be a new structure where CEOs can’t make greedy decisions with impunity. Clearly the idea that the board is supposed to prevent that doesn’t work because this story is all too common.

Pisses me off that CEOs never get fired for their bullshit and get to “retire” or “resign” like they didn’t just make the most boneheaded decision that severely hurt the company.

There really needs to be some organizational structure where the CEOs have the power to make the decisions they make, but the employees have the power to punish and fire them when they do shit like this. No golden parachutes for them!

If that’s Dan Cummins, then that changes the entire context of the picture.

But it’s not an opinion. You’re judging a show based on images and saying you don’t like show because everyone else likes the show and keeps resharing those images.

An opinion would be “I watched this show and it wasn’t that funny.”

I deployed a few of these. They were 10 years behind the curve. The monitor weighed as much as a flat panel from 15 years ago, the stand was fucking HUGE making it hard to move. The camera and microphone were an afterthought and not worth using (the mic would pick up every little touch on the Jamboard). The entire thing felt like it was built for design first rather than function

Have you been watching Ahsoka? I personally feel they are at least trying to take the story in the direction you’re talking about. Sabine has next to no force powers, but is taken on as an apprentice by a former Jedi, there’s another former Jedi who is framed as a sith but still holds attachments to his former life (didn’t go full Darth Vader).

Didn’t x/Twitter do the same thing? Is spez just copying Musk?

Awesome, eXTwitter is on the cutting edge of 10 years ago.

People have become too entitled with the idea that all information should and must be updated and accurate in the information age.

I grew up learning how to read the Rand McNally maps. Imagine if one of those maps showed a road/bridge was available only to find out it wasn’t. It’s not the map makers responsibility, nor do they have an obligation for 100% accuracy. They strive for accuracy only because it’s good for their business.

I saw in the article that they’re suing the road owners. Those are who are responsible, not Google. They took down the barricades because of “vandalism” and didn’t immediately replace them.

And people turn their heads, move their eyes across their windshield, change focus to look ahead or closer, look in their mirrors, listen for sounds (emergency vehicles, car honks, etc), are able to do things like look through gaps and other car windows to adjust to partial obstructions.

The fact that he doesn’t realize you need a multitude of sensors to do even a little bit of what a human can do tells you all you need to know about Elon’s so called brilliance.

All of The Clone Wars is the main filler between 2&3.
Not sure if there’s much between 3&4. I have trouble keeping the whole time line in my mind since the newer show releases jump around so much.

If you’re watching it on Disney+ and not through some ahem other means, they have an Ahsoka essential episodes list from both TCW and Rebels.
