Or the EU can set an example and foster their own smartphone company instead of penalizing foreign business in hopes it molds them to the way they want them to be.

But they’d rather take the easy pay day and continue being a leech on the tech world.

Another flagged comment. I’m on a roll with pissing off the Apple haters.

Idk, but it had 5 upvotes and is now flagged. I don’t know what’s going on with Hacker News but the people here make it a waste of time

Anti competitive behavior? Over an App Store that’s only important because of the success of their phones. Phones that people don’t need to buy because there are alternatives? Miss me with actual harms being done.

Edit: Of course your anti-Apple bias shows and you downvote anything going against the circle jerk

I’m at the point now where I blame American doctors just as much as the industrial health insurance complex. They’re complicit in its assholery.

We knew it wasn’t going to end well when America helped the world rebuild itself instead of taking it over after WW2 when we had nukes and nobody else did.

Every article I’ve seen posted to HN about this topic has some cute or clickbait title to overhype the nuclear aspect.

AI is going to replace journalism because it won’t feel the need to make cutesy play on words in their clickbait headlines.

The key is to treat Windows users like children and lock it down with an administrator password. You’d be amazed how well Windows holds up over the years if you just prevent them from installing whatever random bullshit they find.

Overly pedantic comment. Who cares what the definition of hippy is

Honestly that’s what doing business in the EU is like right now. Their entire bureaucracy seems to have become an operation for enacting laws that enable them to sue foreign businesses and line the pockets of their politicians.

Border control catching every hitman with the backing of an entire country… You need to stop watching CSI shows buddy.

Who are these people, and why should I, part of the west, give a single shit about Russians running from the problems of their own country?

> One the primary goals of any - and indeed every - medical system is to ration resources.

We can fix this. Essentially, every smoker, every alcoholic, and every obese human immediately goes to the back of the line.

No need for this convoluted bullshit of a system.

Hey Russia/China/India, can you keep up your attacks? You might be the only thing that can get this abomination of a system we call healthcare replaced.

Yep. I’ll be more willing to take a risk and have a child with someone if they won’t get de facto custody and financially ruin me for life if we divorce. Which is statically more probable than us staying together.

Well college students spend their entire life having someone tell them what to do and for the first time they need to figure out things in their own.

They’ve also been told to “just learn to code” and are shocked pikachu when someone with a 4 month boot camp is more employable than them in software.

I made a scaled down death ray too when I was younger.

It’s called a magnifying glass.

Dude was CEO for less than a month before trying this bullshit. It’s just what MBAs do, and they’re the sole reason behind what we’re starting to call enshittification. He went into that job with that idea, and I can guarantee all his other MBA snakes are thinking about ways to implement this.

Yep, they’ve lost me and I usually get something from there 3-4 times a week because it’s the closest thing nearby. I estimate I’ve spent a few thousand there after starting to work from home two years ago.

This idea simply cannot be tolerated.

It’s going to be treated as what it is, psychological warfare to undermine the stability of America. No other country on this planet seems to suffer these issues to the extent that we do.

And people still don’t think that Covid was preemptive warfare by the Chinese.

Nonsense. The core of an article can always fit in a headline. Journalists and their editors know what they’re doing.

Alternative: “US military pulls the trigger, implements AI-assisted pattern matching for military target acquisition”

I even kept their “pulls trigger” pun.

Yes. MBAs think everyone else is retarded and they’re the people 100% responsible for every ounce of enshittification we deal with on a daily basis.

It’s to the point where, if you’re an MBA, I automatically think the world is better off without you in it.

Edit: And yes, that’s a call for MBAs to commit suicide. We’re literally all better off. Flag me if you want. Idc

Doesn’t matter, they’ve already lost my business that netted them upwards of $500-1000 per year. Yes, I order that much from them as I work from home and they are closest.

An example needs to be set for this, where anyone who floats the idea is driven out of business. Dynamic surge pricing in the food industry will actually destroy society.

Odd, taking an antidepressant was the best thing I ever did for my sex life. Small doses of Sertraline does wonders for performance anxiety and premature ejaculation.

I’m going to make a career out of tricking chatbots into giving wrong advice and suing the companies using them.

Like what happened with the Canadian airline but on an operationalized scale. Imagine a small call center dedicated to destroying companies who get rid of their human customer support.

The world is finding out they can just make up whatever laws they like and fine American tech companies for easy cash.

I use a throwaway account because any talk whatsoever about these things is enough to get fired from most left-leaning startups. So deal with it.

Original comment was upvoted but still got flagged, which is evidence of exactly the type of sensitive bullshit I’m referring to.
