Comment greedy capitalist corporations gone uncontrollabl (Score 1) 37

I am a proud American Citizen of Indian origin going thru my 25th year in the US (ex Georgia Tech + MIT startups).

And I have witnessed greedy capitalist American industries selling their soul, laying of locals, outsourcing everything abroad, with no remorse.

WTF

I also blame my divorce on greedy American capitalism gone woke+broke (ex-Akamai, etc).

Insightful comment about the layoff machine from https://m.slashdot.org/story/4... : "The social costs with these mass job losses are paid in divorces, broken homes, lower achievement rates of single parent raised children, increased drug use, increased jail rates, increased suicide rates, much lower child birth rates, etc."

Comment Re:What is American Airlines really thinking (Score 1) 20

I hope that happens too, otherwise I'm going to need an AI agent to screw with their AI agent until it gets me the best prices.

Per Delta, the AI pricing isn't individualized, meaning all customers buying the same class of service at a given time will see the same price, so I don't think that would get you anything, unless maybe your AI agent gets good at predicting when exactly you should buy your ticket, but that seems unlikely because your agent will always be operating with less information than theirs (e.g., yours doesn't know exactly how many seats are already sold).

I find that it works well to treat current-generation AI agents like bright, incredibly fast but overenthusiastic and incautious junior engineers who do not learn from their mistakes. They can be extremely useful, but you have to be careful to limit the damage they can do if they happen to screw up.

Comment Re:This is why we need public health insurance (Score 1) 104

This is just yet another example of why we (USA) really do need a public, non-profit, health insurance system. Too many people cannot access proper medical treatment for life-threatening conditions, and in their desperation fall victim to quacks and other grifters and con-artists.

I don't think anyone struggling to afford health insurance -- especially now that insurance can't deny pre-existing conditions -- is shelling out $20k for bleach injections. It would be much cheaper to get an individual healthcare policy and get it to pay for proper chemo.

Comment Re: Russian Hacker In Ukraine? (Score 0) 59

Seriously though, I raised a basic human rights issue (language rights of ethnic minorities) and you have politicized it.

Only a clown who knows how nothing works thinks human rights aren't a political issue, since they are invented concepts which are wholly meaningless without a government willing to protect them.

Comment Re:maggots with modpoints (Score 1) 41

It's always disgusting to see people come to his defense. It's heartbreaking when it happens here. This is supposed to be a place for people who care about knowing things. And indeed I assume that the people defending him actually know he's a child fucker, so that means that a significant percentage of the people here who regularly get modpoints are in favor of child rape.

OK, just I thought may be "orc" was an abbreviation like "olways ready to communicate". Or a vague reference like "sorry bud, I have an orc in my house and it refuses to leave until I have sex with it".

That in fact is how the orcs work. Puto sends them into other nations and they rape their way across them.
