Do you really think that they can pay 5 trillion dollars, or even the 20% of this, to the the shareholders ?

Let's hope that this process will continue even after Trump
Make the companies pay dearly for this
No, not the company, this would only put in in danger the employees (guess who would be fired in case of downsizing).You need to dearly punish who signed the contract.
Partially, if OpenAI lose 11.5 billion, someone get 11.5 billion, the money is used to pay something it did not vanish in a cloud
I wonder how long it will be before investments start getting pulled back because of a lack of ROI.
Just wait for the next hot thing to come out
“We’ll give you some money if you promise to keep the blacks out of your organisation”
I suppose that this would be against the other part, the one relative to the federal anti-discrimination laws.
For the record, it also say that they should not violate any anti-discrimination federal laws.
Trump was elected because a very significant minority of Americans are racist, and the Republican party have been eroding democracy for decades.
Then where was the the majority of Americans ? Why they did not vote against someone that seems to be clearly a racist ?Can not be the case that the opposing party did such a terrible job that people prefer someone else even if it racist since it is seen as the lesser devil ?I mean, do you really think that normal people would agree that letting BLM (which was a minority) to devastate cities was a good way to earn votes ? Or calling misogynist or nazi everyone do not think like you will earn you votes ?
You refuse to acknowledge that trump is the instigator of a whole bunch of racist shit.
No, I refuse to acknowledge your cause-effect.You say that people is racist because Trump won, I am saying that Trump won because people is racist.Then it is obviously true that Trump find someone who listen to him but that people where there before Trump, do not spawned after Trump.
No, the problem is that people like you criticise diversity, equality and inclusion and like to pretend that it’s discriminatory when it’s working against racial inequality and racial discrimination.
I criticize forced diversity, I sustain that equality and inclusion means that everyone has the right to try, not the right to succeed.
But let's assume you are right and DEI is the right thing, so why only in cushy c-level jobs ? No way, half of construction workers need to be women or from minority, half of the surgeons need to be women or from minorities, half of every worker in every job need to be women or from minorities. That would be the best diversity, equality and inclusion you could dream of... until you need a surgeon.
Lol. You wrote paragraphs on why you think DEI is bad and then you blamed DEI policies for the election of trump!
Obviously. You assume that DEI is always good, I say that DEI could be good. But forced DEI is always bad. It is obvious that if people are rejected for some DEI policy they will vote for someone who say that they will delete DEI policies.
You’re part of the mindless “blame Democrats for everything whether they oppose it or not” crowd and you are incapable of shutting up about how you think DEI and Democrats are wrong.
No, I am saying that Democrats have lost because they demostrated to be even more incompetent than the Republicans.To be clear, I think that in the last election Republicans did not win because they did everything right but because Democrats did everything wrong, and DEI policies were only one the things they did wrong.
Anyone who takes trump or his international chums at their word is an idiot.
And that is the reason Democrats have lost. Insulting the voters is never a good way to win. And I could say the same about every voters: if you take any politician chums at their word, you are an idiot.
For someone who claims to be European, you’re pretty bad at realising that there are people who don’t live in America (including me, in case that persisted in escaping your attention), and you’re pretty bad at realising that it’s possible to be against racism whilst not being part of the leadership of the Democratic Party of the United States of America.
Oh, I realize that. What you do not realize is that criticizing some ideas or policies do not automatically make me a racist I can agree with the spirit of a policy but not agree on how it is executed and I don't think to be a racist for this.
Supporting the racist in chief for equality’s sake is insane.I don’t care about Trump, it is not my problem, in EU Trump policies are irrelevant.And yet here you are, arguing in support of his policies.
Yeah, I should find something more productive to do... you are right.
But Trump is a consequence, not a cause.
You have that really fucked up for two reasons.
Trump is instigating all kinds of racist shit policies Racism is NOT caused by inclusive words or actions, it’s a reaction against them by people who were racist from the start.
True, but Trump was elected, he do not magically appeared one night. And if Trump was elected, this can mean two things
- US are fundamentally racist
- you are no better than him, only on the opposing side.
choose what better suit yourself, because the point is that people voted for him and not that Trump "created" the voters.
If you wanted to win, you should have put against him someone more credible than Kamala Harris who had as only point the fact that she is a black woman: she got less than 1000 votes during the primary elections of her own party, listening to her TV debates it was chilling. Maybe you should care also about all the non $MINORITY_OF_THE_DAY people.
And that assuming that the Democratic voters even went to vote instead of staying at home horrified by what the party did.
You people voted for him.
No one like me voted for Trump.
Nodoby even voted for Berlusconi, yet somehow he won more than one election, just saying...
People like you voted for him then blamed people like me for their reactionary shit.
The problem is that people like me are the ones that see what happen, do not say anything but in the end vote based on what they see and what candidates say.
Supporting the racist in chief for equality’s sake is insane.
I don't care about Trump, it is not my problem, in EU Trump policies are irrelevant.But Trump is a consequence, not a cause. You people voted for him. Maybe choose better candidate (both sides of course)
Diversity has repeatedly been shown to be more profitable than homogeneity, in both academic and gray literature. Besides being good for societal cohesion, fairness, stability, happiness, and moral virtue.
I did not say that diversity could not be more profitable, just that it is not always more profitable.
The best candidate is indeed best, but there are too narrow and outdated ideas on how to identify the best candidate, and humans have a bias to choose/hire for safety and similarity over actually relevant criteria, which is why we have the problem in the first place.
There is no way to solve this problem. I can be the best fit as person but the worst from a technical point of view, like you can be the best from a techincal point of view but the worst from a personal point of view.Both of us would be a problem, although in different ways, in a team.
Please provide proof that this is in use at the PSF.
I suppose that
advance or promote DEI, or discriminatory equity ideology in violation of Federal anti-discrimination laws.
say everything.To my understanding of the language (which is not my primary language) they simple ask that no DEI initiative is carried forward and that there is no violation of anti-discrimination laws, so what I read is that PSF is not confident that they will not be able to not carried forward some DEI initiative or to not violate anti-discrimination laws.Assuming this is the only reason they pulled out and given the usual definition of "DEI"
Quotas for minorities are a very outdated practice and were used to break the most entrenched norms (women in C-suites).
Cinically speaking, only in cushy jobs...
More modern practices include preferring diversity between equally qualified candidates, ad retargeting and messaging efforts, and inclusive norms at workplaces.
Well, between equally qualified candidates (if really true) you can just toss a coin.
Also, diversity is profitable, it increases both innovativeness and productivity. It seems uniquely stupid to kneecap the economy to benefit your cronies.
Diversity could be profitable. Uniformity could be profitable.The only thing that benefit economy is to choose the best candidate for a given work.
Then again, maybe that’s the whole point of the GOPedo platform: rob the commons.
Then good I am not from US.
Well, Discord is available on Linux, Archlinux for example has the package and I suppose this is true for many other distros.
Dual boot is an option, but I would go with 2 machines, one with Windows with only the Autodesk products and the other with Linux and all the other software.
He can do both.He can sell the STL to someone willing to print the thing himself and there are people who prefer to let someone else print the thing. One thing do not exclude the other
Normally, criminal laws apply only within a country’s territory, with a limited list of exceptions. Attempting to prosecute citizens of another country for something they legally did in their home country is a breach of international norms. It’s not just that it is hard to prosecute, it really gets you into trouble with the other country.
That's why I said that it would be tried, not that it would be successfull.But again, the distinction is if it was intentional or not. In case of a error in the process it obviously do not even start, maybe someone would be asked some question, like "how the fuck you confuse a gun with a book ?".If it was intentional is another story. There is procedure, Italy should emit an international arrest warrant, then if the criminal it captured by Interpol or something similar a procedure for extradition start and the extradition could be denied obviously. And it would not get you into trouble with other countries, there are treaties else it would be too easy to commit crimes.
(BTW. It is a serious embarrassment. Is it so hard to remove just the overt fascism?)
Like what ?
Actually, I do remember the Italian state attempting to enforce some ill-considered IP laws against German company Ravensburger a few years ago. That wasn’t a criminal case but the state did want money. Of course, that went nowhere outside of Italy.
I remember it, and it was stupid from the start. But as you said it was not a crimial case, it was just a what you would call a civil case. But yes, we have some very stupid laws and some even more stupid people who think that these stupid laws are valid also in other countries.
A pre-internet equivalent to running a website could be running a telephone hotline, or a mail-order bookstore. Maybe the bookstore sells banned books or media. The hotline may talk about forbidden subjects. Perhaps another equivalent could be a TV or radio station that intentionally broadcasts across borders, like Radio Free Europe.
Still the same point. A company that legally sells know what to not sell and where, or where to offer service or not, so it would basically not even offer the banned thing to you.For example, up until some years ago we cannot sell various types of sausages to the US so companies basically avoid to even offer them. But if someone, somehow would be able to sell them, the items would be seized and the buyer and seller punished with a fine.
I don’t think anyone ever considered trying to fine someone in another country over this.
They considered it, sometime tried to do it, but normally measures were taken.
Partially true. Old generation is used to do things, I would bet that it would have easier anyway.
I don’t want to argue, I just want to know. You feel it’s always been like that. And you feel that way because that’s been your experience with Amazon. Would you agree to that summary?
No, I had the same experience with every site that sell something. I cannot buy online a gun from San Marino from Italy. But I agree that not everyone respect that, for example from Aliexpress I bet I could buy something illegal in Italy (a laser over a given power for example) and face no consequences, but that because it is not really easy to persecute someone in China.
What is your intuition about the technological background? When someone sets up a website, what do they have to do or not do, so that it is visible in the UK, Italy, … ?
Technically speaking, you should restrict contents that is not legal in a country. I fully understand that it is way more difficult than not selling something, in the end if you sell something you have an address while with a website you simply have an IP address that could not be the real one (think VPN).So yes, in this specific case 4chan is the asshole of the situation: it they want that their site to be visible from UK they should respect the UK laws, even if, as I said, the law is beyond stupid.
FreeCAD aside, if you want to go somewhat commercial there is "Moment Of Invention". I tried the free 90 trial and it was really powerfull and somewhat simpler than FreeCAD.
