Itâ(TM)s really remarkable that there are huge buckets of customers who eat Tyson Foods meats and then go off no knowing whatâ(TM)s in the Covid vaccine. America is better off without Tysons Foods. Support your local butcher and local farmers.
Amen. Glad to see others in the Slashdot community push back against this bullshit.
Itâ(TM)s not crazy because they cannot actually procure and retain the subject matter expertise needed to deliver solutions when it requires full-stack deployments. Simply having the availability of components or source code does not mean the build and integration work is trivial. They want the cloud because they want to build solutions, not the underlying build, assembly, and integration work.
Anonymous Coward is correct. National debt is not a problem. Balance the economy and and the budget will take care of itself.
Battery tech is not only competitive but continuing to improve in density. There is little that can be done to improve the efficiency of ICE. Hybrids used to have merit, but now, at least for the American market are niche plays whereas the needs of most American people can be satisfied with EVs. Hybrids and FCVs can still play a role in regions that lack investment today and where none is planned for tomorrow.
In the case for Toyota, they are trying to dissuade public investment because they made a bad bet. More broadly, we need the hydrocarbon industry to mobilize its vast resources and footprint to sequester carbon with the aim of being carbon-negative, not just be a net-neutral intermediary.
This has to be the dumbest take of the decade on Slashdot. By every measure we live in a less equitable society. This is a perversion of what has been the norm in most of modern human existence.
Itâ(TM)s all about the crispy Azure tendies
âoe âoeIf the existence of bullshit jobs seems to defy the logic of capitalism, one possible reason for their proliferation might be that the existing system isn't capitalism... In many ways, it resembles classic medieval feudalism, displaying the same tendency to create endless hierarchies of lords, vassals, and retainers.â

ROI isnâ(TM)t the driver for change in this instance. Hospitals will be forced to modernize as part of their license to operate pretty soon. Underinvested IT services and skillsets will be forced out of the hospital setting. I suspect much of the funding will also come from Federal Government.
This belief is at least 10 years outdated. If anything, China has superior innovation capability in numerous areas including tooling, manufacturing, construction, silicon engineering, mathematics, textile engineering. Companies donâ(TM)t go to China because itâ(TM)s low cost anymore, because itâ(TM)s not. Itâ(TM)s the capability they have developed over decades of investment, powered by export and their government policy to excel at these things. Itâ(TM)s the American innovation playbook to the letter, sans democracy, for those who studied 20th century innovation policy. Only way these capability come back to US shore is with massive Federal government investment into manufacturing, education, and academia. Germany is the only western country today that invests heavily in local manufacturing. Without government investment in this space, America will not be able to sustain its innovative capacity. We are on borrowed time.
It is truly amazing to see the stupidity on display here about equating basic internet service with communism. Internet is a fundamental necessity for the masses to operate today. The necessity of the internet is not to different from the necessity of the postal system to bring America together post-independence. There are huge swaths of the US that cannot bridge the digital divide because of market failure and bad government policy. Wholesale internet should absolutely be socialized because this national infrastructure. This way the telecoms can do what they need to do to build actually valuable service offerings. Today they are just taking the piss on the public dime.

Amazing! No longer have to rely on CL for my email relaying needs
The USPS was never created to generate a profit, nor should it. It was created to provide a legitimate and obvious democratic purpose to unite America. It still has a vital role to play in thousands of communities across America and in some areas itâ(TM)s the most reliable public service. Institutions that operate for the public purpose are essential and need to be expanded, not eliminated.
