That's a nice summary of uninformed, dismissive, and polarized views that folks who don't understand organized labor levy against it.

Programming was a good career choice for our generation though, and there are plenty of industries that need programmers with musical knowledge.

Hope you could at least keep up music as a hobby.

I think the tech just came along a little bit too early and people got too excited.

True. We kind of needed an intermediate medium. We went from approx 1MB floppies to hundreds of MB on a CD. Nobody had any idea how to fill all that space. But floppies were really suffering from being too small. The likes of Wing Commander and The Secret Of Monkey Island 2 each took around a dozen disks.

It is a very suspicious correlation.

The problem really is that it's high risk - those who can lose will have diverse assets which will cushion the loss whereas if they get caught, they'll lose everything. And the benefits are somewhat limited. We already know what Boeing did.

This would punish people who did nothing wrong except hold shares in a company where someone on the board or management broke the law, but completely let off the members of the board or management who broke the law but have since left.

A "company" is an abstraction. It doesn't make decisions. It can't go to jail.

At some point, there was a person who actually made these decisions. A person who may not even work for Boeing or own any stock in the company any more. Prosecute them!

If I was selling anything of any reasonable value, I'd want to make sure there was a clear and definite agreement precisely to prevent this sort of lawsuit from happening.

I'd have responded with "I need more than a thumbs up. Can you send an email confirming that you agree to the terms", or at least asked for a text providing clear unambiguous confirmation.

Streaming absolutely bundles. You just buy each bundle from a different provider.

A la carte wouldn't make things cheaper. There's typically one channel that people are willing to get the bundle for, and the others are added as a value add. The cable company pays more for certain channels, and you're paying for the one you want in a bundle.

It's left leaning - certainly relative to the current Overton Window in the UK. You're a lot more likely to see an article advocating a left wing viewpoint than something that would be typical in the Telegraph.

Globalization honey! Elon has plants in Germany, China, is opening possibly in South America, is opening a plant in Mexico. He also has cornered the satellite broadband market (worldwide, as seen in Ukraine), and many other core industries. Now owns the post powerful media asset in the world (X) which is becoming a new "Facetime" too, and a vast trove of content for the AI era, for which he has now founded his new kind of "OpenAI 2.0", then top with Human-Machine interfaces/cyborg tech (NeuraLink), and the absolute dominance in Space exploration, that the idea that this is "Elon's Empire and his good luck" is risible. GM and Ford, for example, are having more trouble with transitioning given they extremely stupid commercial models, unions, their extremely stupid enormous part suppliers, and other internal issues (like Ford funding one of the wokest of the wokest idiotic NGOs) just shows them, and GM (who receive immense subsidies after the 2009 crisis) means it may well prove that they may never be competitive, subsidy or not.

Don't they do several orders at once? A single family could easily be around $200

Wasn't he the biggest personal donor to the democratic party? It's hard to keep up with all the things Sam did.

Did you know color doesn't exist other than as a figment of your own personal hallucination? Color is not something that exists in the phenomenal world at all.

My LLM thinks you suffer from datafixation, but since I couldn't find the word I it for a definition, see below.

Datafixation (noun):
        - The erroneous belief or assertion that artificial intelligence or other data-driven systems are strictly bound or limited by the data they have been provided with, negating the potential for novel outputs, creativity, or the generation of unforeseen solutions through complex processing, pattern recognition, or other computational mechanisms.
        - A cognitive bias where individuals underestimate or dismiss the capability of machine learning systems to extrapolate, innovate, or exhibit emergent behaviors beyond the scope of their training data.

Usage:
The claim that a machine learning model can never surpass the creativity of its training data is a clear example of datafixation, overlooking the numerous instances where AI has generated novel, valuable insights or solutions.

It reads like the fatality occurred on the inaugurating line and not one that has been operating for years. It also talks about irony, but there is no irony. I used this train and it is clean and well managed.
