Kamala Harris because she would sure have enforced antitrust laws to save us all from the evil billionaires.
Exactly who do you think donated to her (literal) billion-dollar plus campaign? Oh, right, it was the retired teachers and widowers that donated hundreds of times a day they Act Blue, purely grass-roots, bottom-up campaign financing, no billionaires... LOL
You keep seeing kids wandering on to somebody's property playing hide and seek and getting blown away in broad daylight. Usually black kids in the south. And usually the boomer gets away with it.
No, you don't "keep seeing it". I've never seen it and I suspect neither have you.
I've never seen any kid get "blown away in broad daylight", not "black kids" or any other kids, and it follows I've also never seen anyone "(get) away with it", boomer or other, because it never happens.
I'd appreciate three different examples of small "black kids" that are "blown away" in "broad daylight" for merely trespassing on someone's property, if you can't find at least three examples, can you really claim it happens "all the time"?
Single-payer healthcare will not drive down healthcare costs, no more than federally-backed student loans have made college more affordable.
The last time politicians tried to "fix" (or, if I'm feeling generous, "improve") healthcare in America, they took a blank piece of paper, had the healthcare industry lobbyists craft a solution that required every uninsured American to buy "affordable" healthcare coverage from a private insurer (the folks paying the lobbyists) using federal money, then passed the bill into law without understanding what it was ("we have to pass the bill to find out what's in it", and the bills sponsors got angry when reporters asked them what was in the bill, remember "what good is reading the bill if I don't have lawyers with me to explain it to me"?).
So excuse me, but I'm a little reluctant to look to these folks for a solution to our so-called healthcare crisis...
mostly because of the money people like the ellisons and the fat nazi threw at the elections, distorting the democracy from its traditional meaning of one person having one vote
So, money in politics is the issue?
Didn't his Democrat opponent outspend Trump by a YUGE margin, like, I don't know, 100% more? The democrats burned thru over a Billion dollars in 107 days and wound up $22M in the hole when the votes were counted and Harris/Walz lost in 2024?
Is that the money you want to keep out of presidential politics?
I don't understand this contradiction:
require employers to send written notices to workers if AI is responsible for mass layoffs and ban employers from relying on AI to decide to fire someone...
So you can't use AI to decide to fire someone ("ban employers from relying on AI to decide to fire someone") BUT, if AI is responsible for MASS layoffs (fire lots lots and lots of 'someone's'), you have to give the (terminated?) employees "written notices"?
You can't do it, but if you do do it, you need to use written notices?
Everything = "all their games", not Everything in the world, internet, etc.
It's not a false accusation, the CPU was used to cheat, it was banned, not the user.
AMD CPUs have software accessible serial numbers, they blocked the CPU.
The buyer took his chances buying a used processors, that's between him and the seller/cheater.
I don't think so. The publisher likely told the original gamer that their cheating marked that CPU banned on their game servers, then the gamer sold it to the buyer without telling buyer about the claim.
The buyers claim is likely limited to a refund from the gamer for not disclosing the ban/restriction, not the publisher.
MS Windows used to record MAC address, HD serial number and, I thought, a CPU serial number, any one could change, but changing two or all three required acre-activation of Windows. I think this was Window 7 era, but not sure.
I'm pretty sure CPUs have some sort of serial number, found this:
Every AMD processor has a unique serial number used for identification and tracking purposes.
So I guess it's trivial to block a specific AMD CPU, it does not seem possible to find an Intel CPU serial number via software (its marked on the outside of the processor chip)
I would think dynamic pricing would be super-obvious to the customer unless they are limiting it to specific price points. Market-based pricing has been a thing for a long time for other products
This is such a non-story
We KNOW that McDonald's charge different prices at different restaurants - for example, in downtown Manhattan a Big Mac has one price, at the airport another price, and at the highway rest stop another... The same food item having different prices is nothing new, no one ever believed that McDonalds had identical pricing around the country.
This tool doesn't set prices, it doesn't update the POS system in the store, it simply tells the owner/franchisee that they could probably raise the price on some items without hurting sales, and that lowering prices might increase sales.
WTF is the problem with that? Seriously?
Replacing lights with ones that are bright enough to do the job -- and no brighter -- might make it so I wouldn't have to get in my car and drive for hours to see the night sky as it actually shines above us.
This is a much, much smaller issue than you seem to think it is.
If looking at the "night sky as it actually shines above us" than maybe it's time to move out of the city - remote jobs are a thing, and housing is cheaper outside major metropolitan areas, win-win!
because they are? But it reflects back up in the sky when the light hits the ground... Could paint the roads vanta black...
What color is your asphalt?
Not so sure I'd like black concrete highways...
I think the OEMs should put "Linux Ready!" stickers on the unit, box, and manuals
Why?
Do you imagine such a move would increase sales? Really?
I don't think the average consumer buying a laptop in a retail store has any idea of Linux and would find a "Linux Ready" sticker as informative as an Intel "VPro Inside" sticker...
Next time you are at Best Buy or other big box electronics retailer, ask the customers in the laptop are if they want to run Linux on the laptop they purchase today?
(I thought the appeal of Linux was you didn't need to buy new hardware, it just runs on older hardware...)
OEMs and Microsoft itself are now quietly pulling back on that branding. The specification baseline for Copilot+ PC experiences still exists, it just no longer has a pretty marketing name tied to it.
So now we're discussing a change in marketing/branding?
Wow.
Transistor radios are still a thing, esp popular in US Prisons, but I don't know if Dr. Demento's radio shows are available online - oh look, there's this:
