Comment Re: Why are lawsuits allowed against end users? (Score 1) 44

why is the plantiff allowed to wait years knowing they have been in violation all along. Money, wait until the coffers are full to sue for maximum potential payout.
Should be like real estate law similar to adverse possession. Not that Snap gets the right but it's grandfathered into allowed if they can prove the other company allowed use by not doing anything about it.

Even though the singer is part of the celebrity grouping, I'll say. I would love to know the details that caused this investigation to get priority one. With all the cutbacks in government headcount etc.. and all the larger issues facing the US domestically. I'm sure this was preferential treatment. I.e. Misuse of resources.

This supercharged the crisis of 2007-2008. not sure there was many articles written about it, but the patterns are the same.
First person tax 8% on the seller bumps their price by 8% to offset it. If there is an intermediary, they tack on 8% and so on and so forth until the costs outweigh the benefits.
Nail people have to make hard decisions as to what they want to purchase and of course cry about their V8 single driver vehicle costing so much to fill up.

The shit is about to come off the rails. Once one person does it a.k.a. USPS it's gonna greenlight everybody else.

Comment Agent ownership when they quit (Score 1) 48

It seems much less about him being replaced and more about having his employees digitized.

He doesn't like the layers he has to jump through to track personnel down.

The better question is what happens when they quit or move on?

I'm a big proponent of useful AI. I'm also excited to read the headline where a company sets this agent scenario up and the speed of which calamity ensues causes complete failure (bankruptcy) within a day.

I get a ton of founders that try and fail. They give it they're all but come up short.
It's really the venture capitalists that people should be going after and the terms they set forth to make people rich, regardless of their successor failure. Drive clearly isn't about money anymore since the dude still worth about 3 billion. Or maybe he wants to make that double digit billions. I'd say we need more protection for investors, but they should have a sensible idea of risk.

Submission + - Honda is killing off it's EVs (techcrunch.com)

sziring writes: The company casts blame on U.S. tariffs and Chinese competition, two easy targets. But it never really had a viable EV strategy to begin with.
Honda kicked things off on Thursday by halting development of the electric Acura RDX and the Honda 0 sedan and SUV, three models that were the companyâ(TM)s first ground-up EVs â" but about which very little was shared with outsiders. It continued on Friday, with Automotive News reporting that Honda was going to stop production of the Prologue, a vehicle that was essentially designed and entirely built by GM.
The decision could backfire in a number of different ways, but there are two that Iâ(TM)d argue are most important. By shelving EVs, Honda will fall farther behind in two of the biggest shifts sweeping the automotive industry: electric drivetrains and software-defined vehicles.

This is a very valid point.
I don't think it honestly matters too much as Apple for years had keyboards that didn't match the images for shortcut keys in the menus. Probably some dumb logic like only the old school Mac users would be able to translate. The control key is actually this symbol is actually that symbol blah blah.
