But they’ll have some AI machines instead, so the shareholders will be happy. The shareholders of a different company, but still…

Wear and tear is specifically not allowed to be charged for home rentals in Australia. Damage that is not wear and tear can be I would assume it would also apply for car rentals but I haven’t checked.

The alternative, where a government can restrict the actions of companies in other jurisdictions is more scary.

Still it’s good to get it on record. Either the court is compromised, or gives good rationale, or ice is in breach. At this point it’s stilll a question.

I think it applies to eu citizens worldwide for online purposes. You only need to do business in eu with eu clients (seperate terms) for it to apply.

Eventually, they are left holding the bag, so if all the small investors have more chance to get out, all the better.

Yes, all sex he has is transactional. He’s not seducing anyone.

Ok, we’ll let’s keep the plane analogy. If they could run on 50% less fuel, would you invest in airline fuel companies, thinking they will be having bumper sales figures?

Yes, but if they already have lots of planes, they don’t need to keep buying more planes. Especially if their current planes can now run for longer.

AI is not going away but it will require less computing power and less capital investment. Not entirely unexpected as a trend, but this was a rapid jump that will catch some off guard. So capital will be reallocated.

Yes, there are, but minimal physical assets. That’s the point. They likely aren’t even enough to pay employees.

I think you’re missing the point. There are no physical assets. There is users and engagement. That can be used to push a narrative or to sell advertising. As users leave, neither works and there is nothing to sell.

I think it’s a valid point that the concern being raised about tik tok is just as valid with other apps, both from Facebook or Twitter etc and from overseas apps. People are happily giving up their data and don’t see a distinction in how it is being used for disinformation by different state actors. It’s all misinformation.

People are apathetic to the risk, but also don’t see the risk for foreign government snooping as significantly higher than internal snooping.

I think employment is based on those seeking work. So if you take time off, you wouldn’t be counted. It’s a balance in the market that stops wage rises and inflation when there is unemployment. It’s obviously not desirable for the individual.

Parasitic more like.

I run a WordPress site but I’m not a developer.

It seems like automatticuses the community for free development and profits from it. They in turn develop and support it, heck they created it.

However, with foss its free for WP engine to use and they dont like it. So they are throwing a hissy fit and making out its about the community and giving back. BS.

I assume it will fork.

Would there likely be a fork at that point for those that wish to continue?

Surely we van look at apps that allow more informed data but without the anxiety. Like, here’s your data, this is less frequent than average. Or, here is your data, its the same as before. Or here is your data, its slightly different again, so we’ve already notifies your doctor, but usually this is nothing to be concerned about. Etc.

Lots of patients with other conditions have yo do similar, like diabetics monitoring sugar levels. Or asthmatics who can induce attacks by getting stressed about attacks.

We could build in some mindfulness exercises which help with anxiety. I’d say overall, its better.

Also the rise of containerised software that is more easily cross platform for self hosting what would once have been cloud only.

Broken clock.

I’m surprised they made 440m. However, investing in r+d is not unusual. This amount is not a huge investment for them based in overall revenue.
