People talk about it like it's a Commie plot, but if we don't even out the inequality at least a little, it's gonna be bad for the economy and bad for all of us.

"The beatings will continue until morale improves"

Just shows how old I am. I remember when that meant companies that make audio gear, not podcasters.

GameStop is (was) a meme stock, whose value got inflated due to social media trends. I'm guessing this Ryan fellow doesn't see a big upside to the GameStop business plan or revenue possibilities, and he thinks that a splashy move like this could start the memes rolling again.

To me as an eBay customer, this doesn 't sound good. I detect the wafting aroma of enshiatification.

OK I get it. In my neighborhood very young kids are tearing down the street at ungodly rates of speed, often without helmets, and I certainly don't think this is a good thing.
But laws passed by a state legislature are a very blunt weapon where finesse would be more appropriate. Specifically, you're not gonna put the horse back in the barn. Electric bikes and scooters are here to stay, kids adore them, and parents don't want their kid to be the only one on the block who doesn't have one. Software governors are easy to bypass, and it's also easy to find bikes that aren't restricted in any way. Also as mentioned above, enforcement would be impossible without a lot more cops.
I don't have the solution, but I certainly admire the problem!

The US was already rapidly losing ground to China in terms of science and technology. Thanks to the current administration, we've given up any hope of ever being competitive with them. In a situation like that, you would think that the US would be into building alliances and promoting international trade.

It's like the Roadrunner cartoon where Wile E. Coyote has run off the edge of a cliff, but hasn't started to fall yet. It's a long way down.

"The company concluded: "The defects are finite, and we are entering a world where we can finally find them all.""

And of course, so can the bad guys. And after you find them you have to fix them, and of course the bad guys just need to find them, so once again, advantage goes to the bad guys.

I have nothing

The expression is "shot across the bow." The idea is that a ship would deliberately fire a near miss to warn or intimidate an enemy. "Shot against the bow" makes no sense.

This way, Big Pharma can retain a lock on new miracle drugs at high prices for as long as they want.

Interesting take. You no doubt believe in Antifa too.

I've never experienced any problems due to too slow a browser. Of course, I don't try to keep dozens of tabs open at once or probably anything else that a 'heavy' user would do. So these browsr speed wars have always seemed silly to me.

Irrelevance.

I certainly hope so, but more likely it'll get locked up by Big Pharma and cost a zillion dollars a dose

I'm not a programmer, but I could make a system that doesn't work for only $4B. I'm only discounting it because I want to save taxpayer money.
