Comment Re:Type of headline that should be prohibited (Score 1) 47

Oh fuck off. The headline is exactly correct. Something was worth X yesterday and today it's worth Y, where Y is substantially less than X.

If you had to sell right now, you would get far less than for the product than if it you sold it yesterday. Hence, erased market cap.

It's used every single day in the financial industry and is regularly quoted in headlines when a company's stock plunges.

Comment $40 billion? (Score 0) 99

Why does that number sound familiar? Oh right, that's the amount of U.S. taxpayer money dear leader is handing over to a country whose leader ran the country into the ground and will now use that money to prop up his campaign for re-election.

In other words, in one fell swoop, the U.S. will lose another $40 billion in a matter of weeks compared to the first few years of covid.

Talk about efficiency!

Comment Nope, you blew it (Score 2) 51

while it still includes two controllers featuring dials and number pads instead of joysticks, they're both wireless and charge when docked to the console.

Wireless, no matter how good, still has delays or blips which interrupt the signal. You need the consistent signal of a wired connection.

I know people will give me reasons why I'm wrong, but this is no different than having touchscreens for basic operations in a car. You need the analog touch for simplicity and reliability.

Comment Re:Banking License (Score 2) 57

I'm pretty sure not one of these crypto companies could obtain, much less keep a banking license (at least, not in a proper country where you can't just buy your way in).

And you would be wrong. The first stablecoin bank, backed by billionaires who backed trump, was just approved by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency after a rigorous two month review (that's sarcasm in case you missed it).

Supposedly this "bank" will have to adhere to money laundering rules, but as we've seen with other digital money, that goes out the window because who needs regulations.

I didn't read anywhere that their complain was training (there are many complaint about training though). But Sora2 is creating basically infringing videos and that seems to be there issue. The whole reason training on copyrighted works get brought up is because it then allows the models to create infringing work based on the original. The whole worry about training on One Piece is that they can then use it to create videos with characters from One Piece or based on One Piece, which would be infringement. If they trained on One Piece but you could never tell when you were using it, no one would have any reason to complain.
