Plenty of women are being told that men are the enemy too. The whole war of the sexes is getting more and more toxic.

Is that because of dynamic pricing?

I don't understand why consumers need to be protected from dynamic pricing? Would it extend to airlines and hotels?

The only fanatics are the people who know the direction we're heading in and refuse to change course.

I'm convinced half the people on that app have undiagnosed mental health issues.

Why don't the economics make sense? Energy costs? I'm working on the assumption that they would continue to use the subscription model.

You don't think gen AI is a legit threat to Google search? ChatGPT seems to be able to quickly integrate live searches into its responses now with links to sources. It's a much nicer experience than scrolling through endless ads.

Some older people also pronounce restaurant without the T at the end like they're French. Literally the biggest culture shock I experienced.

Yeah that's not ideal either. I think I just feel uncomfortable with private corporations expanding into surveillance for crime detection. Although arguably that already exists in other areas. I (perhaps naively) trust governments more to carry that out.

Hmm maybe

I'm undecided on whether we should open the door to corporations spying on people's phones. But in any case throwing them in prison for *not* doing it seems extreme.

So then insurance companies need to approve 100% of claims otherwise they are responsible for people dying?

08.12.2024 17:05 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Do you think insurance companies are responsible for people who die if their claim was rejected?

We reward irresponsible politicians. You get what you vote for.

IBM wrote software for concentration camps. I'm not defending it obviously but this guilt by association stuff is over the top.

I thought you were drawing a distinction between two sides of the political spectrum.

Seems like you're comparing a moderate right-leaning individual to an extremist.

In civilised countries you don't have to 'claim' for anything. There's simply a universally available service anyone can use. Like schools, police, roads.

I don't blame the CEO. He's acting perfectly rationally in the system that the US has created. If you want a fairer system then stop expecting corporations to provide it out of the goodness of their hearts and instead vote for politicians who want it too.

The real scandal is that it costs €1M to get justice after being raped.

She's knows this is complete nonsense but she also knows the people listening won't.

Yes, reward NIMBYs. That is the solution to NIMBYism.
