Is the Shekel really stronger? Or is the dollar just going into the toilet? I'm seeing more and more international boycotts against Israel.

Coddling their little cupcakes until they become worse than worthless. Same as it ever was in times of plenty. Unfortunately, it leads to suffering.

He has been remarkably consistent for his entire tenure on Slashdot. His entire brand is not giving a fuck about anyone but himself, and he's proud to tell you so.

Anything that scares him is bad, and everything scares him.

Apparently the "hot fire" test was a great success!

Not with the layoffs, everybody loves layoffs right? That's why we keep voting for them.

But they really want companies to stop blaming layoffs on AI because it's weird but with AI devouring jobs, water and electricity the public isn't entirely happy with it. I can't imagine why.

Mark Zuckerberg is. He has billions of dollars and zero oversight or regulations so he makes the rules.

If you ever get tired of that situation there's a whole bunch of people who would change it if you would ever be willing to vote for them. But you are probably not since well, I mean you're doing well effort mod bait posts on a dead web forum. I'm just saying I question your judgment.

Bezos suffers Projectile Dysfunction.

Yeah, what that means is that they are going to be the de facto choice for pumps for european DCs, and yet they are asking the EU to build fewer of them, which will mean less business for them. This doesn't mean what you think it means. Unlike in the USA, a lot of major European corporations are still run with sustainability in mind. They would like there to be a tomorrow for them to profit in.

Sure, it's bought with money from drug trafficking.

I don't want the CIA doing that either.

They are both things, as they are both producing the product and delivering it to the end user, and they are collecting the revenues.

It means someone was being snarky, and if you can't parse it out, it also means you're not good at understanding English.

You trust what Zuck says? He has a name for people like that.

It's called personal experience. Bots like you don't, but real humans actually have such things.

We probably would do well to shake the conception that Intelligence agencies are all-seeing/all-knowing fountains of competence. In reality they are filled with paranoid people of various levels of competence with a whole range of dispositions, including occasionally criminal.Intelligence agencies need to be a little criminal at times to get the job done. The idea that one of them might have been doing shady shit, in an agency that specializes in shady shit shouldn't surprise anyone. Hell, it was probably why they hired him.

Every few years a new social media site comes up and all the kids go there because they don't want to be on the same site as their parents because of course they don't.

And then every few years Facebook either buys that site out or runs them out of business by underpricing advertising in that space until there's no revenue for that company and they run out of investor cash. It's gotten to the point where nobody's really challenging Facebook anymore for anything except hoping for a buyout.

Facebook does this because those kids are going to grow up and keep using the site they are used to and Facebook needs to make sure they own that and filter those users back into their main ecosystem whether those users like it or not.

They of course couldn't do this with tick tock so they just have the government step in since it's a Chinese company. Incidentally it was only because it was a Chinese company backed by the Chinese government that they couldn't do that.

If you start voting for politicians who enforce antitrust law then Facebook goes away in about 10 or 15 years.
