M$ is now gleefully collecting up everyone's actions on the desktop and sending them off for automatic psychological evaluation.

And, I'll just add that free market capitalism knows no bounds without strong regulations. When the greed is unbound, it's a race to the bottom.

is going to linger me thinks. He certainly did a great job of poisoning any good will.

How's the saying go? Privatise the poor, socialise the rich.

It's the ultimate in hypocrisy.

First poster, rsilvergun, is right though. These companies like OpenAI aren't the ones to suffer from this. And they know it. When they go belly up, it's all the investors that'll loose their shirts. Sadly, that's every Joe average's retirement funds.

The hype reaches out and takes from all. :(

Or a Bond villain.

Google probably just pillaged from ECMWF

If you don't like it then just turn it off. It has always been an optional feature on TVs. I don't see why the studio should force it one way or the other.

Afghanistan was always a pretence for the invasion of Iraq. There never was any real plan for Afghanistan. And the only plan for Iraq was to decapitate and destroy the ruling regime, and loot certain records. Oh, and it cost a lot more in lives and money.

The question is why so fixated on Iraq in the first place? I think the answer is simply that Israel wanted it done. USA always seems to be wagged on that one.

There's a basic formula for encouraging inaction too ... and it's a much much easier sell in our capitalist hegemony where greed rules and restraint is a dirty word. So, sadly, we're stuck with the slow slog and near worst environmental outcome for near, medium, long and very long terms.

I can't speak for plumbers but electricians do make good money as employees. There's a shit ton of safety standards for them to learn though.

If there is anything in that study at all then it's saying work times are too rigid and inflexible. Everyone is living on a knife edge of unhealthiness. It's not the daylight saving that is the problem.

WHOOSH! He was reflecting the idiot nature of the argument that a one-hour time shift every six months has negative health effects.

If you want to feel such effects for real then try a job that has rotating shifts.

It will be M$ lodging a formal complaint with Google under health and safety reasons. M$ won't have to explain themselves though, just the claim of health and safety automatically trumps everything else. It's the routine procedure for punishment in corporate industrial environments.

they just do it in other ways now. Openly blowing up big nukes doesn't advance the knowledge any longer. At best it would be a show of force. In reality it is nothing more than attention getting for the talking point alone.
