Why do you say that?
Already have cultus who are saying that it's good that we should tighten our belt and that they don't mind prices going up.

Your work is not special enough for survive AI, either!

I guess the government could restrict AI. We'll see. That would be interesting.

Every 10-15 years there appears to be a wave of specific attack vectors, which first get exploited by professionals on a small scale, and then eventually ravage larger sectors of the IT industry, typically caused by anarchistic teenagers. We remember the wave of buffer overflow exploits leading to massive pwnage 20-30 years ago. We lived through Anonymous and LulzSec tearing apart gazillions of sites with SQLMap.

Current target seems to be not so much shoddy software, but unmotivated and underpaid help desks dishing out credentials and SIM cards to whoever is persistent enough or willing to pay bribes many times their monthly salaries - still very little compared to the damages these attacks ultimately cause. As usual we'll hear the refrain "experts from Mandiant are on premise and have already prepared an Excel sheet for the C suite", we'll squeeze some screws here and there, and business will continue as usual, with the same abysmal results.

I agree with the parent.

They will have to shut down. There is no way to comply with the law, nor should they have to (but that's another topic).

The only way that this will work is if the government only uses the law when it desires to, not when actual violations occur. If they tried to prosecute every incident they would be overwhelmed. So, it's a good tool of repression, I guess.

Law and medicine are advanced degrees.

Engineering is not.

Engineering is the most lucrative bachelor's degree.

Those who continue to law school, medical school, or an MBA are most successful when their undergrad degree was engineering.

>Neither is correct and these are just bugbears for politics.

Oh?

While estimates vary, studies indicate that investment companies account for a substantial percentage of home purchases, with some reports suggesting they may own around a quarter of all single-family homes.

ONE QARTER of all single family homes. That's quite a lot. And the more money they have the more homes they will purchase, and the higher prices will be.

I'm not saying supply isn't a problem, but if you can't admit that THIS is a problem then YOU are a problem too, as your view is skewed.

>Apple has ~$30 Billion USD in Cash. Operating Expenses of ~$15 Billion.

You act as if there aren't any SALES. Apple annual revenue for 2024 was $391B.

>Because "low prices" and "small government" and "low taxation" have been conservative principles my entire life

You should watch what they *do* not what they *say*. Conservatives have been the driving force behind higher government spending, not liberals. Lol.

Low taxation? Yeah for the rich and corporations. Do yo know that the latest tax bill would *RAISE* taxes on the poorest people? And give it to the richest?

So much winning...erm "principles", if you want to call them that.

It's a lot less dangerous to ship them mostly discharged, like maybe at 30%.

Actually, they last for 30 years at 80% capacity or better.

At least in America, it is illegal to install cost-effective solar panels.

Biden and Trump both agreed on high tariffs on solar, and American manufacturers have no incentive to be more efficient.

That's an obvious market opportunity for fake AI friends to keep people company.

My son is in college.

He says the dorks run Windows, the cool liberal arts kids use Macs, and the techies run Linux on their laptops.

He's a techie, so he uses Linux.

>Can you name a single *specific* thing about my house or car or how I care for them, that was dictated by Bill Gates or Elon Musk? You are hand-waving

To deny the effect that corporations have had on crafting the regulations and laws of the US, States, and Cities is baffling. You ask for a *specific* example because you know the broader scope is so ENTIRELY against you you need an out. I'm not here to give you your *specific* thing.

If you can't see how dark money affects who is elected I can't help you.

You don't get to slide by and say well the SC did that so...

Yeah, So? So what? Does that mean it's Okay? or that it isn't valid that the Corporations have an hand in controlling nearly Everything?

Nope. Your original statement is impotent.
