Just a corn on the internet.

  • I think similar how the EU adopted the USB-C as mandatory standard for charging, it should force other industries, including software vendors, to follow commonly defined standards.

    In case of browsers that is Chrome using it's de facto monopoly to force other browser to rush to catch up with their custom crap. Yes, as a side effect that would also break a lot of existing webpages because they rely heavily on browser bending over backwards to accommodate sites serving effectively broken HTML i.e. but in the long term this would improve the internet as a whole.

  • I assume it's not so easy to hit a jet at altitude and cruising speed with a small drone.

    Missiles are still the preferred way of shooting one down and Airforce One or escorting flights certainly have various countermeasures available.

  • That's not an argument against PRUSA.

  • They were too preoccupied with whether they could instead of asking whether they should.

  • I don't journal to document my life but to organize my tasks.

    There are different ways of journaling.

  • I got no idea how stock markets work. I'm in it for the memes.

  • If there is one thing companies and rich people are good at regardless of their sector it's making them appear poor on paper. Same reason Jeff Bezos got a 4k tax break for his childrens education or basically every block buster movie looses money.

    Using profits as a metric makes it impossible to fine companies that run at a loss as business strategy. Tesla, Amazon, OpenAI. Just a few examples that got to where they are now by operating on the promise that someday they will be profitable. Or in case of Amazon to push competition out of the market.

    Not every company that breaks laws makes a profit. But every company has a revenue.

  • Is it time to HODL or Buy The Dip again?

  • When fines are set numbers and not percentages of profit revenue, fines just become part of the business model.

    FTFY

  • IMHO it's a sliding scale not a simple yes/no question.

    Is a single cell conscious? It reacts to stimuli in a very basic manner, so there is a rudimentary awareness and I would put it towards the lower end of the consciousness scale. Can it perceive itself though aka does it have self-awareness? I doubt it. But where does (self-)consciousness or awareness start? That's probably the same as asking "What's life"? People have been debating the question for ages and there are edge cases that blur the lines such as viruses.
