Sir, they are clearly listing two distinct outcomes.

Mergers lead to:
1) Layoffs -- due to workload being focused on one labor pool and removing redundant positions.
2) Less choice for consumers -- because you now have fewer independent companies for a product or service.

They aren't saying the layoffs are the cause of the lower choice for consumers. But arguably that's true, too. Off all the people laid off some will not find work at another company in the same function. Some may end up leaving the industry completely for a different career. Fewer people in the entertainment industry means less variety in programming because talent and the decisions on what gets made are now from a smaller pool of people.

Ignoring the quality loss from a smartphone taking a picture of a screen, was this even a "work" smartphone? Why is the officer needing to use a secondhand image? Surely they had proper legal authority to just get a copy of the original footage.

Sounds like the cop just whipped out his personal device and snapped a pic. How does that pass muster with collection of evidence, Chain of Custody... you know, that stuff that serves to prove the evidence wasn't tampered with in some way on the way to the D.A.?

Computing (AI) that will likely be influenced if not written completely by heath insurance companies? I thought we were trying to improve patient care here.

You know the pull requests dont get automatically merged, right

The AI Bros will point to this as evidence artificial intelligence is the real deal and there's money to be made by utilizing it. But Dell is profiting off selling hardware, like Nvidia. Why go on a wild goose chase for supposed riches when you can make money hand over fist selling shovels to rubes in suits.

That's dead simple. Light the table with a strobe light at 20fps.

Yes, and that problem is development time focused on visible, feature-driven work gets more attention than bug-fixing or security coding. This is in corporate profit-driven products as well as open-source projects, too (remember all those Firefox bugs you reported 10 years ago?)

Almost like all these layoffs happening as a result of AI's changes in workplace are a mistake -- also because of AI's changes in the workplace. Why lay off software devs when there is suddenly a bunch of patching needed?

Yes, downsides to ride-sharing companies and their profits, which can impact their executives.
Not saying "wont someone please think of the..." but you are factually incorrect.

All keyboards are serial. In fact, almost every keyboard ever is a giant parallel to serial convertor.

I do love it when malware advert javascripts can upload random new firmware updates into my mouse and keyboard turning them into stealth keyloggers. This is great.

This feels like when Flash sandbox breaks became a thing, but worse. At least in those days we got smooth fullscreen vector animations and games to enjoy. I'd rather Flash had just been bloody fixed instead of browsers themselves becoming Shit Flash But Holy Cow It Runs Worse And Gets Worse.

Maybe what's happening here is you're using a term differently. When the OP says "privately" he means through a transaction where MRED restricts it to themselves for financial reasons, and you're using it as "I'm selling my house myself, privately."

If you were selling your own home as the owner, Zillow would have no issue listing it, because you're the seller and you're going to deal with any buyer. But if you're having MRED sell your home you're no longer the seller (that's why you hired an agent to handle it). MRED doesn't get to limit who can make offers to only people working with them as a purchaser, and then advertise on Zillow's platform. That's Zillow's call to make.

You have a right to choose any agent to sell your home (as the other guy who replied said), but you don't have a right to be on Zillow.

Zillow has the right to decide what they want to list, too. It's called the right to refuse service (I'm sure you've heard of it).
So unless MRED is an organization exclusively for black Muslim gay men from Nicaragua to sell their homes you're not going to get anywhere here.

Okay, but it sounds like you want to use MRED's service (where a potential buyer has to buy with a MRED agent -- because you are selling with an MRED agent) and still be advertised on Zillow. Zillow doesn't want to list homes that have that sort of buyer restriction on them.They want a buyer to be free to use any realtor for their side of transaction. This isn't an ethical dilemma, it's a business decision. Zillow is saying if MRED wants a website where they can list homes for their "insiders" scheme they need to make their own site and not use the Zillow brand as essentially a private advertising platform.

Because it's not your decision. Zillow is a private company and they can choose to exclude listings that are not available on the open market if they want to. Really... shades of "demanding freedom of speech on non-public forums" here.

MRED could make their own real estate search and advertising site and only show their "in-network" properties -- but they don't want to do that because, besides the actual expense of building and running their own site, they don't have the brand recognition that Zillow has. They just want to piggyback off an existing popular site.

Can't speak for Tizen or Roku, but on Android/Google TV and Amazon FireOS you can use Smarttube (for now at least).
