Who cares how they would be written? They would never get passed. It's called capitalism for a reason - capital calls the shots. Why does nobody understand this?

In America or elsewhere? In America, they are dirty and unsafe because they are drastically underfunded, because of people like Elon Musk. This is the history of public transportation in America. America also has a despicable homelessness p

The point is flying over your head. Redirecting some ad dollars is an extremely low bar; not comparable to diverting a company's profit center.

> the only correct course of action is to ditch Chrome History shows mere boycotts to always be abysmal failures one after another. The only few examples of ostensible outcomes were critically meaningless and necessitate zero-friction a

Your favorite part? Are you sick? I can't imagine having a "favorite part" of any of this.

>without stating a reason That part is key. If they do state a reason, it could become a civil rights issue. The sign alone might not be enough to make a case, but it's a very good start.

Intellij on Windows also buries the top menus into a hamburger icon and leaves the entire area they occupied empty! Thankfully there is an option to reverse it deep in the settings, but having it be the default is absolutely baffling.

Yes, I graduated with a CS degree at 37yo in 2021 and thankfully got in before the layoffs. My first advice would be dye your hair if it's turning gray and never tell anybody your age unless uou have to. Of course, your managers will k

I would assume they think the cause of the layoffs was more related to the non-zero interest rate.

> raising the minimum wage for H1Bs and indexing it to inflation Huh? Not even regular minimum wage is indexed to inflation. What are you talking about?

the second source shows sales have been increasing.

Not true. In the early 20th century, the American automobile industry fought aggressively to divert public funding away from public transit and towards building roads, precisely because it increased their profit margins.

Humans do a lot of things that computers don't, such as be born, age (verb), die, get hungry, fall in love, reproduce, and more. Computers can only metaphorically do these things, human learning is correlated with all of them, and we d

Such bombs would necessarily need to fall in American cities, so the scenario you describe is not possible.

I know. That's my point, and it's a point that calling it "Fascism" misses.

No, it's called capitalism — capital has the last word. As we have seen clearly, even Trump is overwhelmingly limited by the constraints of capital.
