We need our politicians to ban dynamic pricing and set brutal consequences for corporations that do. Red or Blue, this is a unifying issue.

"Local governments say the plan is illegal and that the FCC should instead focus on how Internet providers thwart competition with permit-hoarding and other tactics that prevent competitors from deploying networks." This isn't a red or blue thing. Do internet providers thwart competition? Yes. Do certain governments operate pay to play systems that postpone the spread of broadband? Yes. The only side to be on is that of the consumer, and the consumer should want both these things to change.

The Mercator maps had size distortion and the equal-earth style maps had shape distortion. Everyone's been using Mercator for a long time and people understand it, so I would just keep using it. Maybe classrooms should buy more globes and avoid the issue altogether.

They were handed a ruling with prejudice, with contempt! and yet they are attempting this again? They should be fined a year's revenue for even trying.

She should be paid for every hour she was inconvenienced. At a minimum, every hour she was without her car.

I remember this, and EBAY deserves to pay dearly for what its C-suite did. However, it's weird to me how non-standardized payouts are. Some drunk could kill your child and you wouldn't get a wrongful death payout anything like this.

What will this AI tell you about the cultural revolution famines? The human waves attacks in Korea? The forced abortion and infanticide of the one child policy? The massacre of students at Tiananmen? The occupation of Tibet? The cultural erasure of the Uighurs? The organ harvesting from prisoners? The campaign of intellectual theft across the developed world? The gray warfare against ASEAN countries? Why a Taiwan which for 70 years has had its own currency and government and is the continuation of the original Chinese government belongs to CCP? Why CEOs in the country disappear? The imprisonment of Ai Wei Wei? The suicide plane crash that killed at least 100 civilians? The slaughter of pets during Covid? The mass publication of junk, AI written manuscripts? The list goes on. You don't want the CCP in your pocket.

Nothing this pro-business with obvious hard to consumers in a way that defies all common sense happens without money changing hands in one form or another. Someone needs to do some investigative journalism.

I am a strong proponent of giving young people the opportunity to compete. eg - a laptop for every kid; broadband for every kid; free lunch for every kid. However, that's where it stops. They must compete from there with all their disabilities for the prize of excellence. The cards of life are not dealt evenly, and we should celebrate the success of the strongest among us lest we fall into the trap outlined by Vonnegut in Harrison Bergeron.

I think this is worthy of capital punishment. The act is a direct betrayal of your country and puts every citizen in danger by undermining US defense. The penalty should be death.

A single generation ahead is very different from the only game in town. Any price battle guts Nvidia. Investment may spread more broadly.

Given our relationship with North Korea, I would characterize this as treason. This definitely fits the legal definition of "giving aid and comfort to enemies of the US." No average NK citizen has access to the internet. This was obviously an NK government operation. The punishment should be severe. Very very severe.

Were I in charge of that merger, I would keep both systems active. GoG could continue to offer DRM-free games within the larger store and advertise them as such. The games both sell don't overlap all that much I think. How about you?

It's hard to make a permanent change in any somatic cells. Was this editing done to a stem cell? Somatic cells in the liver can have a 5 year turnover and that's how most non-crispr gene therapy work. So I'm curious about this claim "permanent." Who has the details?

EPIC and GoG should unite to take on Steam
