This means I’m not ignoring them, just not even seeing them

  • Since OP won’t make any effort to defend this, I will.

    In these sort of cases, wouldn’t it be more appropriate for the court to fine the company the $22 million to the company, award a more appropriate stipend to the victim that does not actively promote and reward with wealth gaps, pay the lawyers, and to then allow her to be the executor with what’s left in regards to being able to be spent to prevent similar abuses from happening in the future, with the responsibility falling back to the judge if she does not want to be? She would then be limited in how she could spend that, but she could spend it however she wants for that purpose - create a political campaign, finance unions, etc.




  • You are talking about going against a cartel of oligopolies that have locked down the technology sector with the IP they control and who have cutthroat control over where the latest technology is deployed. What we at home can do is playact “It’s back to the 90s!” and go back to the technology we had several decades ago, which is more viable than it sounds.

    If they want to act like cartels with the greatest and latest, nothing is forcing people to use it. Unfortunately, the technological divide will still be there. Tech minimalism, go human, recycle old tech, we have a lot of crap we’ve disposed off over the years that would otherwise still run fine. To create competition, there needs to be the breeding grounds for it, and if that means having to do with what the lunar lander did, then do so and exercise that brain in the process too.



  • The data set and the algorithm are still there, it’s just not available to the public anymore. I wonder who will still get access to it. This just seems to follow the general trend of oligarchs encouraging startups to do anything and everything to disrupt an industry, go as far as they can, and then pull them out through any pressure, government or corporate, as they try to scavenge what they want.

    Besides that, there’s still alternatives alive, local or otherwise, and I doubt the people who were using Sora are suddenly going to stop without trying to search for alternatives first. People are celebrating after just chopping off the first head of the hydra.









  • There’s basically two sorts of people: the one’s willing to overlook the aesthetics and the one’s who aren’t. There’s a reason hospital staff wear them. They are not designed to look good, they are designed to let the humidity from your sweat evaporate instead of letting it accumulate into a damp breeding ground ripe for a host of foot conditions. For some people it will matter more than others.

    There’s plenty of Crocs designs that don’t look ugly, but I hope they continue to be unpopular as that keeps them cheap. It’s risky to switch to other brands with this sort of design, Crocs got it right.
