Not necessarily. But I believe they said that the laptop was hacked.

I think the point is more that when something bad happens in markets it creates fear, which generally leads to downturns (for at least some time).

Yes, typo.

But when FTX blew up crypto went down even further..
You can just ban these gambling and marijuana companies that cause harm to people. This article does a good job of summarizing a few, but not all of the reasons https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2026/09/29/...
I used to work in adtech and someone in sales told me that DraftKings and FanDuel did not like being referred to as gambling companies. They always wanted to convince people that it wasn't gambling, even though it's so obvious that's what it is.
It's a war that he started to benefit Israel, and is now causing suffering for so many others.

You can always just ban things. The families of those who go into financial ruin from gambling would prefer this.
Can you explain how it's eroding rights? It's taking video in public places. Are you against people taking videos in public on their cell phones?
Except your company covers a lot of the cost for your health insurance.
So how would private healthcare happen without employer provided insurance?

They know that there's big enterprises that will have a strong preference to work with another big enterprise instead of relying on a younger company. At least that's why I think they believe they can do this sort of thing and get away with it.

I think this article overestimates how much the average person knows about tech. People know who Musk, Bezos, and Gates are, but hardly anyone outside of tech knows who Collison is. Most don't know much about VC funding either, but they certainly can see when products have become too smart to the point where they get needlessly complicated.
What do you mean? The mayor is part of the government.

I think you might want to take some time to understand what a sampling bias is.

The only thing I would add would be to keep track of the words already found.
I recently bought a home built by Lennar. The project manager kept telling me up until closing about how great the warranty was. He said that the drywall in the hallway going to the basement was going to be finished. When I reported this to the person who handled the warranty he said that the basement wasn't going to be finished. I reported some issues with the cabinets and he said they wouldn't fix it until the 11 month period since he said other things could break until then. He also tried to discourage me from getting an 11 month inspection. When I moved in the grass was almost a foot long and there was a vole infestation in the backyard due to the grass being long. Whenever someone talks about how there is a warranty I usually chuckle a little. The companies know how much it would cost you to sue them.

To be clear small builders have done things far worse in Minnesota. There's a builder on the South side of the Twin Cities that has left many homes with foundation issues. They're no longer in business. My issues look tiny compared to theirs.

To me it reeks of desperation.

I'm curious how they would even enforce this law. It seems like they would need to require some record keeping that's made available to the government.
That does make it tough at times when there's the age gap. Every younger place I've been at has been lord of the flies so I've since then looked for places where people are a bit older lol. One of my good friends now is about 10 years older and I've found once you get past 30 whether you click with them matters more. One piece of advice I'd say is just try and find people where you do things with them regularly outside of work.
Re:Home alone: Remote work, isolation, and mental health on Saturday June 06, 2026 @07:41PM (#48430251)
You probably just never got to know them that well and did things outside of work with them. I've met people at the office and stayed in touch with them and hung out after they left or I left the company.
Re:Home alone: Remote work, isolation, and mental health on Saturday June 06, 2026 @07:37PM (#48430211)
I've felt the same way. At first it felt great to be able to get more done both at work and at home. But I did feel more isolated as time went on. The last in person place(with some hybrid) I was at had super toxic coworkers but the 2 places I've been at that are fully remote all had great ones. So it's a little disappointing now that they don't allow in person.

Billions? Where are you seeing a need for billions to do a study like that?
There has been quite a few articles in that paper where the headline is really designed to be clickbait.
Anthropic actually turned an operating profit recently due to huge revenue growth.
I would have to agree. It seems like most of the new funding is going to AI at the expense of crypto.
