This is why a lot of chronic diseases will NEVER have cures. It's more profitable to treat than to cure. Treat someone over a lifetime and milk 100k out of them. Treat someone once and present them with a 100k price tag to pay all at once and the consumer or insurance company will balk at the cost.

Easy credit = UBI. You profit as long as you die before you pay it all back.

I don't think BNPL is going to crash the stock market. AI on the other hand. Good chance once that bubble pops.

Apps like door dash offer BNPL options and i believe some restaurant apps directly offer it as well. When you need to make installment payments on your Big Max Meal maybe its' time to step back and evaluate your finances and choices.

I would imagine whatever entity that remains of OSS could sue the former employee for breaching company data, as well as any other customer of OSS for breech of data, data release, or data loss. I personally wouldn't touch this if I were a former OSS employee without some granting of immunity by the judge, if that's even possible.

They might have that many people "logged" into it since they are ramming it down the throats of every single user whether they want it or not. But how many of those are ACTUALLY USING it?

Nope, They're just going to encourage them to run dozens of poorly maintained rental black soot belching diesel generators on trailers in the data center parking lots contributing to the noise pollution and smog in texas. Better hope you don't live within a few miles of one of these things.

It's happening because token burn is actually a thing in some places performance reviews. I've seen stories of people making AI at work do all kinds of stupid shit just to "burn tokens" so they're not at the bottom of that list of those not using AI

I'm going to guess its not exactly apple maps, cause likely apple isn't going to fully rewrite the maps app to run on a whole different OS and I doubt the infotainment system runs iOS. Either Apple paid Ford to get their name in front of Ford customers, or Ford paid Apple to be able to claim they have something unique in their products.

I believe CD/DVD-RWs may even technically have a longer lifetime cause the act of writing them isn't modifying an organic dye, but causing a physical phase change in the recording layer. This probably makes them a little closer to actual physical pits on a CD/DVD than the dye on a write once disk

Refund WITH interest.

MDS runs just about as hard as TDS.

LOL what company doesn't have arbitration clauses? It's almost a 100% certainly if you've clicked agree on a click though EULA there is 100% an arbitration clause somewhere in there.

I'm pretty sure Musk hasn't had diddly squat to do with PayPal since he sold his stake in it over 20 years ago, other than buying the x.com domain off them.

Paypal still has it's uses. I use it all the time to pay for shit on ebay. And if i'm buying something online from an infrequently used or small time retailer if they have the option to use paypal at checkout, id much rather do that then put my credit card into yet another retailer's website that might get breached at some point.
