I’m always getting powers of ten wrong.

Regardless 500 workers Vs one CFO?

That would include the CFO too, right?

Alternative viewpoint. You could have retained 5,000 employees.

Can somebody explain peertube for me? It sounds like it should be a federated video service, but either the federation doesn’t work very well or there’s nothing on it.

3yo cars are pretty much always less than half. ICE or EV

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

First thing you need to know. There’s nothing special about at Linux x.0 release. It’s just the next one.

It’s the beginning of reality biting for sure.

I think the big one will be when companies like openAI and anthropic have to file audited books in order to IPO (which they both want to do).

The fallback argument for the social media ban is that it’s better than nothing. But with results like these, it may be worse than nothing, given it potentially creates new problems. Children will remain online with arguably less supervision and support, new privacy and digital security vulnerabilities seem to have appeared and the worst aspects of social media lay largely unaddressed.

I wish more people understood this. Changing something can mean you’ve caused harm unintentionally, even if you haven’t identified it yet. Too many people seem to have the thought process “We have to do something! This is something. Let’s do this.” without ever considering the harm they might do.

WHAAAAT?!?! Educating people is better than telling them what to do?

Yes, and this is why old school liberals (i.e. supporters of liberty for all) support social programs. Supporting those that can’t comfortably support themselves brings freedom from exploitation.

…but who taught her to flop off the couch? That sounds like an aunt or uncle.

That’s just a savings account isn’t it?

Trouble is they want to take the rest us with them. See how they attacked Iran.

It’s a hell of a moment when they can out perform their parents, isn’t it?

We Brits use Czar as a colloquialism for “person in charge of…”.

So the head of the water regulator might be referred to as the water Czar (and they deserve a similar fate).

Should never have been in the browser anyway.

The rationale for bail out the banks previously was that the retail arms (what you and I use) were so intertwined with the commercial arms that allowing the commercial part to fail caused the loss of everyone’s money. Regulation was introduced (at least in the UK. I don’t know about elsewhere) that ring fenced the two from each other, making future bailouts unnecessary. The commercial arm would shoulder the risk of its own investments.

Doesn’t stop corrupt politicians bailing them out though.

No. Pretty sure it’s true of patents too. Might depend on which court you’re in.

It can’t be completely circular. There is an end customer that will expect something for their money eventually. Right now it’s driven by huge amounts of debt, but you can’t be on that forever. At some point it unwinds
