Judging by the backlash I saw online on that butter recall because of the missing “contains milk” statement, it seems like few will miss the regulations.

In the long run, looser regulations could prove to be a Darwinian solution to most current issues.

TIL thanks

Wow how did they get this photo of a moving subject in a camera from the 30’s. I’m impressed

Wow, you totally misunderstood the whole issue?

The point of China subsidizing their industry and their universities isn’t so that their people can “buy a new car every year or two” because they’re cheap.

It’s because that way they progress their technology and manufacturing infrastructure so much that no one else can compete. They chase everyone else out of the market, while their companies pull in massive profits and keep the high paying jobs for their citizens.

Well paid workers can buy their own housing without government assistance, but what happened to all those tax benefits the US gov handed out for EVs? They catapulted Musk’s wealth, while the workers are nowhere closer to affording an EV, or a home, or even healthcare.

I don’t know if this is a criminal charge, but if it is, then this is the answer right here.

A couple of months behind bars would be a brutal wake up call to billionaires that money can’t buy everything.

Of course they’d just double down on buying more politicians and judges.

So let me boil down the list of arguments in your refutation:

• Assert a belief about wrongness.
• Assert a belief about lack of knowledge
• Disregard provided proof contrary to own beliefs
• Present zero proof supporting own belief
• Expletive

Masterfully done, you should run for president. Moron.

I’m sure they can be re-educated as well as any other minority… (/s but not really)

Im using Firefox because fuck Google’s monopoly, but Firefox seems to care little for some stuff I think is critical, namely AV codec support. Lack of out of the box support for HEVC and a few others, which my underlying OS supports perfectly, is a big turn off.

May be time to give Opera a spin

I can’t follow your reasoning. If companies cannot own houses, how do you propose this shell-ownership would work? Wouldn’t the owner just be free to sell the house at any time and pocket the cash for themselves?

As for tax evasion by foreigners that own real estate, I mean how is that even a problem? There’s millions of foreigners that do business in the US everyday, plus, these ones have actual immovable assets that can be seized…

Sounds perfect, do it. I wanna see your income statement when you own 20 apartments.

Definitely then the issue lies with click to subscribe, and not with click to cancel.

If the customer is insufficiently informed of any penalties for cancelling, then he shouldn’t have been allowed to subscribe in the first place.

Hot take: birthrate is high when it’s economically profitable to have kids - helping hands all around to take care of stuff. When they’re a financial burden for the rest of your life besides substantially worsening your quality of life, birthrate plummets.

For $2000? Is this comic from the 50s?

Yeah I occasionally run into that block that blames GDPR too, and it makes me wonder just what in hell they want to do with user data…

It’s not hard to comply with GDPR, unless you’re a shady scumbag, in which case, thanks for the warning I guess.

Oh yes it’s intended, there’s even a setting where you can choose between abbreviations or scientific notation, because everyone knows K, M or B, but ain’t nobody gonna remember Ovg for “Octovigintillion” (10^87 apparently), much easier to just keep track of the powers.

It’s decent fun for what it is and it’s f2p, give a spin if you want - https://idlechampions.com/

Didn’t read the full article, but the summary conclusion that “it can’t be shut down because it’s false” is a bit worrying.

While it’s definitely the correct verdict, just on that basis, then wild misinformation ads would be OK too…

Well having to find that much liquidity that fast can be a problem even for someone as rich as Musk, no?

If I own musk stock I would consider selling before he dumps $1B worth of stock on the market, and try to pick it up again cheaply. I can see it wipe out massive market cap from his companies…

I’m not too familiar with WoW, but I think it’s a bit different.

In the idle clicker, you quickly get to exponential numbers, so when you’re optimizing the party and you have a choice of say, something that doubles your base damage or something, it really feels irrelevant because after all the other multipliers your hero is already dealing 2x10^(102), and going to 4x10^(102) is nothing

Interesting concept, thank you!

Have you ever played idle champions of the forgotten realms? At some point you start to get this feeling.

It would have been ridiculous to think this a decade ago, but if Trump gets a second term, China might actually be the better diplomatic and trade partner for the EU…
