The more I live I’m less concerned about what are often described as “bad actors”. The bad actors are often the state, and this kind of information is collected without thought to the risk of future politicians who don’t follow the rules or who don’t have any respect for the laws.
Readit NewsAirlines are subject to enshittification just as all other things are:
• Diminished airline status returns
• Increasingly large/overpriced shops/restaurants
• More discrete seat/class upgrade costs, worse experience for base fare overall.
• Higher security friction
• Explosion of travel cards that overload lounges
• Increased nationwide traffic so even the drive to the airport is worse
• Costs of food purchases on plane (in the 90's any transcontinental flight usually had a free meal).
The only things that have gotten better are wifi and entertainment to act as recompense for less leg room.
Brilliant guy. Let’s hope we haven’t killed the elevator to climb those heights. We’re living strange times, currently it seems to me the age of great men is slowly fading only to be replaced mediocrity and simulacra. Of course I have no idea how it will all play out but hope for the best.
Musically, he's done a lot to encourage and surround himself with brilliant younger artists. Jacob Collier had received tutelage and consult from Quincy and Jacob is a Mozart-level mind of our generation.
Isn’t that what your salary does? Are these people children yearning for the days of the company store and company towns?
There are a lot of things related to business expenses that you cannot ask employees to pay for such as first aid kits, desks, chairs…even travel outside a certain range. this is simply to say that perhaps the categorization of transportation could be expanded
That's quite the corkscrew you've turned yourself into just to say you don't trust Muslims. If you really believe it then just say it.
I don’t trust any religion and I certainly don’t want anyone who thinks their religious laws outweigh the ones in existence.

Another requirement that seems to get ignored is that you need to have the overwhelming majority of the public not feel sick when you use it. I recently had a friend bring a VR headset to a party for people to try out. About 15% of the people who tried it felt dizzy or nauseous after using it. (I did not try it because I know from experience I'll have a headache and be dizzy for hours afterward.)
Interestingly, similar to seasickness, the women who tried it seemed waaaaay more likely to be negatively impacted. Which opens up an entire other can of worms, such as: could an office get away with mandating the use of VR tech for meetings, when it has disproportionately negative impacts on women? (As a woman, I certainly hope they would not even try this!)
And as far as voluntary public adoption, having ~15% of your friend group unable to use a product is a fantastic way to kill network efforts. I doubt TikTok would be popular if 15% of the population got horrible headaches and nausea after watching a video on the platform.
Shockingly, no one seems to be talking about this aspect of VR. Which seems to be a really big red flag.
Additionally, as someone with very small pupillary distance, none of the existing headsets on the market are applicable to me. At this point I've written off VR entirely as I don't think any company will ever design for someone like me.
>Efforts to increase sin taxes should consider the heavy burdens borne by few households.
I think they should consider how much nicer things are now that so many fewer people smoke. I can still remember people smoking on planes, in restaurants, etc. It was terrible. I'm in favor of anything that keeps that from happening again.
Agreed. I also like to think that these aren't necessarily "sin" taxes, but taxes paid up-front for the increased costs to society for the medical/public safety implications that occur from them.
They need to scuttle their ships.
I agree...it would send a message to beach these ships in high-visibility areas
I may be a cynic, but I believe you are massively overestimating the rationality of decision-making during this pandemic.
I think there's enough evidence from 2020 that your views aren't cynical, but instead realistic. The feasibility of world-wide coordination should no longer be expected regardless how high the stakes.
Chrome is removing µBlock origin, I and probably a lot of other users saw this as a good moment to promote Firefox to our relatives, you are missing a chance and alienating your user base here.
