And they’re making things worse as we use less and less paper at the same time… Geniuses

Wow, Dailymotion still exists! And they redesigned their website!

Do people ever post real content there…? I’m concerned if so

“the dotcom crash is when the proto-humans lost all their money and regions that they called ‘countries’ devolved into chaos”

What did you prefer? Lenovo?

This has strong Always Sunny energy

I don’t know anything about how it works, but I assumed it was absorbed by the skin on your head not the actual hair.

I still doubt that putting vitamin whatever on your head everyday will actually make a difference

I’ve thought about this a bit (but by no means extensively) and I feel like the stakes are different for tech companies because growth doesn’t require as much capital as a non-tech business.

For a SaaS tech company to scale from 10 users to 1000 users doesn’t mean a bunch more sales people and a new factory, it means having a great product and turning on new servers, likely only incurring a higher hosting bill from AWS (or similar).

In that sense, I feel like it’s easier for the sentiment to be “we’ll be better off with 1000 more users” over and over again until people start to want to optimize the business. Which means doing more traditional “shareholder value creation” that big companies do today.

Don’t get me wrong, I would love to see it happen, but i think tech just scales so differently and easier than other business types.

Not the person you asked, but in my experience: in the worst case you end up paying more for something that was rather simple, but in the best case they find some nice savings.

That being said, if you have the money and just don’t like doing taxes, it’s pretty fantastic to just send someone your papers and wait.

Huh, I always assumed it was just because they target the exact same people. The only differentiator is pasta or seafood, in my mind.

They would rather spend a cool Mil or whatever the contractor over-charged for this instead of a few salaries on people who can argue with pharma over prices. It’s a sad state of affairs

At least the first half is uplifting…

Crazy times we live in that my first instinct was “what a clever use of AI” only to read the description to see that no AI was used!

I agree that it’s not a good thing, but the US gov isn’t going to use the data to blackmail a closeted gay senator/govt official against their own government, while China will absolutely do that.

And considering how good TikTok’s content algorithm is at picking up on subtle ques in browsing habits, I’m sure they know (or at least can venture a good guess at) a lot more than just the information users typed into the app, like in the case of Grindr.

I’m not saying data grabbing for the sake of data grabbing like is happening now is a good thing, but at least it’s controllable within the US for US companies holding data on US citizens. Lesser of 2 emails, I guess?

The ban is about national security and the fact that the TikTok app has been caught snooping on everything it can get its hands on and sends it directly back to Chinese servers.

I haven’t read anything that says this, but I suppose it’s possible that Meta/Google/Etc. have lobbied to play up that angle, but I would argue that’s the capitalism we live in: the biggest pockets win.

Their job is to report what is said exactly, not give their commentary on it (otherwise, you get fox news). Now, good journalists also provide the current news in context of past actions, but they should still let the reader decide if it will happen again.

Woah, you wanna let a whole day go by?! Every 6 hours I need an email status update. But, if you forget to send an email, I know you’re not doing good work. Then, at the end of the day I can ask you in person about the contents of your emails that I didn’t read.

Totally fair, cars are more and more like smartphones these days…with all the good and bad that comes with it!
