The corporate reckoning will only come if there's actual consequences for any of this. There haven't been any when this was happening to one big company a month, there won't be any when it starts happening to five big…
I just used a physical Suica card, I'd link tickets to it at the time of purchase, and had no issue with using it. Osaka had a weird subway system, but there, I could just tap my credit card. Rural Japan expects cash…
A lot of stuff in Japan is moving to phone apps, but often without support for foreign Android phones. Honestly, once I understood that I should link my HSR tickets to my Suica card, my travels through it became very…
In which country? The US is an aggressive total surveillance state that executes people in the street and gives out 30 year sentences for people who didn't even show up at a protest, the UK jails grannies for holding up…
It's not weirdness, it's just the combination of being an asshole and nobody in his life being able to tell him 'No.'
Imagine how much supplemental revenue they could get from a 36-hour Twitch stream.
What exactly are they monitoring for, and why on earth is the gold standard of campaign volunteer monitors from all participating parties[1] insufficient to accomplish whatever the hell they are doing? [1] Who have both…
He didn't write the character, but he delivered it. The delivery is just as much a part of Picard as the writing.
The loss is because they are building data centers for AI. Profitability of search is up.
A lean interface needs to have incredibly well-specified behaviour to not be a pain in the ass to work with.
Employers are free to use their political capital to push against bad behaviour by landlords and NIMBYs, but they traditionally rally behind politics that favors both of those groups. They sure have a lot of that…
No, the 30 year one for not even being at the protest is. Or the lack of one for a bunch of feds pinning a man to the ground and executing him. And then scattering like fucking roaches after they do so. But you know all…
Anyone mind explaining to me why an Immigration enforcement agency is being used to spy on the political behaviour of citizens?
The people complaining about Biden never gave two shits about the president's mental capacity.
Well, the most recent would be a conspiracy to fuck with public transit on election day, perhaps they could start with that, determine the degree of his culpability and involvement, and then keep going in reverse…
If he wants to start a war with Brazil, do you think he will win the one with Iran, first?
His campaign provided him immunity from prosecution, but now that it's over, he is for some reason unwilling to answer for his crimes.
People who see the world in black and white are incapable of telling the difference between a shade of dark gray and light gray.
If businesses ran as they saw fit with minimal oversight from the government, the government wouldn't be called in so frequently to use incredible amounts of violence against its subjects.
Authoritarianism is as American as sliced bread. It's in the country's bones, starting from its founding, and continuing forward through segregation, the red scares, and into today. Two years ago, half the voters were…
Do you think he will shut down LEO access to its systems if the government decides to have a purge of the undesirables, or two?
Would it be appropriate now for Lula to sanction the crap out of Meta and its operations in Brazil? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes..?
The advantage is this: 1. Some C-suite asshole wants headcount in your division reduced by, say, 5% next year. 2. You could do random, or targeted layoffs to hit that 5%, but this ruins morale for everyone who survives.…

It should also not be possible to advertise it, and profits from it should be taxed above and beyond the level of what corporations that don't contribute to social malaise have to pay.
