It's also a great example why these mega corps should be broken up into smaller pieces.
If forced arbitration persists (and this argumentation from Disney is successful and then used as precedence) any service used from one company can be used to forever ban you from taking legal action against that company again even if the service and the reason for the legal action have nothing to do with each other.
Am I right in understanding that this case is about someone dying from eating in a Disney owned restaurant that by accident was a Disney+ subscriber?
If one company owns everything like Amazon, Google, Apple and in the future maybe even water supply, garbage collection, operates my car and is my insurer or bank account (and owner of one of the 4 remaining fast food chains in the country) how can people actually sue a company then ?
Well, but general relativity teaches us that all coordinate systems (also constantly moving, but not accelerating ones) are equally relevant. This means that the one with earth as it's origin is as correct as one where with the center of the galaxy (or the sun ) as is every other. So the one where earth moves somehow through space is just as random as any other.
I quit netflix recently after almost 10 years of continuous subscription. When they raised the price again it was a good Occasion although not the reason. I think so was done with it for a while now.
I guess I'll start reading books again - or watch a few films instead of stretched out series.
I have no idea how to fix the problem, but I've read somewhere that burn (a relatively new machine learning framework in Rust) is capable of loading models like stable diffusion.
As Burn is built with webGPU and all the shader transpiler-stuff that comes with it doesn't that mean that it can also run easily on (even older) AMD cards?
I think what's lacking is equal performance as nvidia drivers are heavily optimized already.
IIRC most successful VCs invest very early and get out often early-ish too.
The real enshittification that dangers the actual position of the company often happen much later. At that point the company is traded publicly and there's a large anonymous body of shareholders - they only care about profits.
VCs are actually a little smarter and care about longer time frames as in that early stage often much larger (relative) growth rates are possible.
At a late stage (think Google, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit etc today) growth is much more difficult. How could Google grow today? They've saturated the search market years ago. So the only way of making more money is by sucking more money out of their existing user base. And they absolutely need to do it, as there's huge pressure on the managerial class to do it, because the shareholders demand it.
If the managerial class doesn't do this (because often some older idealistic people know it would compromise the quality of the product), or they aren't capable of doing it - they will get replaced by people who are more willing or capable - even if it's detrimental for the company when viewed longer-term.
VCs i would argue care all about profits, "but". (they are smart enough to see the big picture. They are also small enough or "few enough" that they can communicate among themselves in order to agree on a more wise plan. That's why they often get out once most of the possible (easy) growth has been achieved. They either know that now growth is much more difficult, or that the company's value is much more stagnant - ow might decrease even. They can get out and invest their money in other more promising endeavours.
The shareholders of large publicly traded companies are not that coordinated as they cannot really agree on anything other than just "growth". More sophisticated strategies would have to be negotiated (and communicated) among thousands. The only unifying bond among shareholders is that they want profits. Think about it: many shareholders often don't even know what companies they own as they are often part of other investment packages. Maybe you're retirement plan has invested in stocks of 50 different companies, or 10 different fonds that have invested in others still. That is a form of dilution (?). It's very difficult to communicate any strategy more sophisticated than "profits". (a side effect is also that many people have invested indirectly or wothout knowing in endeavours that make their life more shitty/expensive when they retire - without knowing it.) There isn't enough nuance in the wants of the masses as to want any more sophisticated strategy than simply "growth". That's why only short term growth can be thought.
Of course sometimes also large companies can grow 2.5x or something like that. But it's rare and takes more time. The exception makes the rule here.
Early stage growth that VCs bank on is much more explosive i think. More like 10x or 100x.
I'm all for it, but with plants of this size - or rather such an mount of relatively dense photovoltaic surfaces - i am thinking about the heat that these panels are generating.
i am guessing it would be similar to such an area out of asphalt.
if these panels were cooled the heat could also be used to warm massive heat storage tanks.
It's been a while since i used fedora but last i remember dnf was awe fully slow compared to pacman. In fact so slow that i was wondering if there was some kind of bug somewhere. Glad this is being addressed.
Fedora is imho the best distribution to get someone to use Linux for the first time. It works so well.
In this case it's a giant housing shortage though. The city (and large surrounding area) is Freiburg in the south. Rents are so expensive and available flats are so rare that companies don't find workers who could actually live there. Also: the comparably good loans don't mean much when it's only channeled into a greedy landlord's pockets.
Edit: oh no i was wrong it's Nuremberg - their public transport organization is also "VAG".
But Freiburg has a huge labor shortage due to unaffordable housing and housing shortage.
Where would you have to touch internals in zed? In reality would you have to come into contact with rust when using Zed? If it works it wouldn't be apparent what it was build with, wouldn't it?
Can Brazil rent out that judge to Europe for a Sec?
