Readit NewsI have many friends who already left the US or prepared to leave at a moments notice. None of them are actually political, but they are aware that 1984 is already fully implemented and at any point in time it could get very, very ugly very quickly.
This is textbook russian propaganda.
People don´t care, never did.
Example: after Jamal Khashoggi was murdered, people still suck up to MbS. Money rules the world.
After what we learned about Guantanamo Bay, nobody should be allowed to call the US a democratic country. But we all decided to ignore the facts, as watching Netflix is way to nice.
There is so much weird hate for the government in the comments, but please provide a single sane scenario where you need to send cash instead of a bank transfer that is not about avoiding laws/taxes.
There are NONE. You send the cash because you did something against the law.
So by all means, the police should keep the money until you simple prove the non-existing totally legit reason why you could not use a bank transfer. I understand the problem with this, but you don´t prove that you are innocent; but large amounts of cash are usually connected to crime and it is your job to explain why not.
Have a law, define a target weight + speed and then make it REALLY expensive to insure or kill people with your car.
Also in the law: if you drive around without insurance, the car is instantly taken away from you, as it is a weapon to conduct a crime :-)
Still people will drive big cars around, but the market will limit the number of people who can pay for it. And of course: new cars only and when ownership is transferred. No additional tax for existing owners.
The market would solve this problem VERY VERY quickly.
NOT every company should give stock options to its employees, because ... it only makes sense if long term success of the company can be significant influenced by its employees. Also, those stock options can be a barrier to growth and become a liability if needed adjustments are blocked in order to protect "stockholder"
NOT all employees should get stock options, specially not the ones who contribute very little to the value generated.
NOT all employees want stock options, as people just want to take the actual money and be free to switch companies. The stock options are a way to control employees.
employee stock options are interesting when the allow to vote on the board. THIS is amazing - and almost nobody does it, because it would actually shift power to the employees.
In most companies, giving stock options is almost a scam; you save actual money for salaries, pretend to share revenues (you don´t) and lock-in high value employees. Also you spread your stocks so you are more protected against hostile takeovers.
Stock options are a great way for the actual owners to save money and actually become more powerful.
All data shared by politicians, public servants and all of their family members within the EU has to be shared, analysed for corruption + stored forever.
If we are all considered pedophiles, then all politicians are criminals.
Yes, a few people will be wrongly accused and we all loose our freedom.
HOWEVER, with every election we will get a small chance that the previous administration will get audited and corruption and other crimes will get uncovered.
Seems to be worth it.
If you want to copy Apple & Co on this, please remember to also bring the tech specs.
Like: Operation System, Ram, Storage, Battery Life, Format Factor, Weight, I/O.
My assumption: you have a less crappy display with a outdated compute unit, made from leftover Shenzhen parts.
Sorry, but every year hundreds of startups fail with a "big promise bad product" strategy.
It is nothing against this product, i just have trust issues if a company cannot even create a basic webpage that delivers relevant information.
In case you want to have unlimited fun yourself, ask yourself: "What is the purpose of X?" and then "how can you measure/assess the fit-for-purpose of it?"
Possible Side-effects: #1 you might get disgusted and even angry with the self-declared "experts" who have not even understood the basic concepts.
#2 you might learn how little you understand yourself and how deep the rabbit hole goles.
Example in Software Development: Understand the quality dimensions for a "definition of ready" and what impact a good/used DoR has compared to a bad/not used DoR for the efficiency and effectiveness of a software development process.
Why can´t Apple allow for a setting to 100% disable this bad idea of an UI/UX experience? How much drugs do you need to consume, in order to assume that people who use a computer for professional work want this interface?
What was the user requirement for it? "lets waste as much UI as possible and make it very, very hard to work on Mac OS!"
Who approves this kind of bad UI/UX?
