You don’t want analytics on your Hope Breakdown Chart, and monthly Hope Growth rates by category?
Seriously though, I came specifically to comment how much I loved it’s in a spreadsheet, sometimes even when it’s something that doesn’t necessarily lend itself to analytics a spreadsheet helps me organize thoughts sometimes.
Well no, just the largest ones who can pay some fine or have nearly endless legal funds to discourage challenges to their practice, this bring a form of a pretend business moat. The average company won’t be able to and will get shredded.
The language is not typical for an investor suit recognizing the inherent evil in the process, it makes me think it’s for publicity or to drive a legal precedent around the inhumanity required to operate a C corp.
Thank you for sharing. I feel like this is the first fediverse exploration I’ve had the energy for since coming over in the Reddit exodus.
Can someone explain how this can/would work for a Lemmy user? They talk about federation, would that be just within this bonfire platform where anyone can put a website and social media to connect via their goals and aims and structure or could this connect to Lemmy somehow, or would that require an integration between bonfire and Lemmy? How would instances of bonfire decide whether to connect or federate with Lemmy or vice versa?
“heckuvajob” is the established nomenclature.
While also completely missing the boat on the potential of graphics cards and watching Nvidia and even AMD become massively more relevant in recent years.
And then, to bring us full circle to OP, Microsoft made it’s strategic acquisition of Nokia long after they had squandered enviable market share to Apple and Google 😂 https://www.theverge.com/2016/5/25/11766540/microsoft-nokia-acquisition-costs
Hey, RIM/Blackberry’s CEO went to mobile world Congress in 2010, 3 solid YEARS after the iPhone launched, was dominating and defining the smartphone world and said, “we feel touchscreen is not the future of mobile phones” and rolled out another hybrid touch/keyboard model like the 5 they already had
Blackberry was $150/share as of 2009 with the entire world in front of it. It’s now worth $3.59/share.
And “which manufacturer’s constant recall notices do I want to receive while many other fixes to safety and consumer wellbeing are fought and argued against for profit?”
Yeah, that at least can be systematically identified and corrected; the bias and also inaccuracy of judgement of current human officers seems far worse and when combined with the fact non-vehicular safety is seen as a low priority or completely ignored, getting to “good” for safety of non-vehicular traffic is life and death. A few tickets that get waived, or in my city, Portland Oregon, a citizen sued to prove the cameras inaccurate where they were and won vs. engineers, is a small price to pay vs. the current state of zero enforcement and bodies littering crosswalks and cyclists mown down in “bike lanes”.
It’s a catch 22 and virtuous/unvirtuous cycle of good education and environmental contributors that don’t encourage these always present and tempting weaknesses in humanity:
Wealth distribution: in economies with very unequal distribution of wealth many are told there constantly isn’t enough. This mindset drives horrible behavior in humans dating back to our reptilian brain core.
Visibility and attainability of meritocracy vs. corruption, cronyism and/or Nepotism
We’ve had powerful interests poisoning the well for going on 160 years in the south after the civil war, corporations’ ascendence since aligned perfectly with the South’s desire to weaken the federal state. Now instead of destroying it, they’ve subsumed it and will repurpose it for fully anti-democratic aims and accelerate already strong perceptions of federal government ineffectiveness thanks to 40 years of neoliberal abandonment of the common person’s needs in pursuit of corporate donations for the Democratic party.
It’s either civil war, an authoritarian state that might be very long or short lived depending on your preference of dystopian movies or magical and dramatic recapture of political power and agency of the American public. The last one seems the least likely in the short term.
Right; I’m considering requesting cameras in my city to protect crosswalks, pedestrians and cyclists as none of the laws are currently enforced in any meaningful way. One of the most cost-reasonable, effective ways to do that would be to have automatic cameras but the lecherous vendors that want 20-30% of the cut and authoritarian state are two massive concerns I have that make me, at the cost of my own daily safety, hesitant to call this stuff out.
South Korea mandated internet explorer for all purchase checkout until relatively recently maybe the last 5 years. They had all these pieces built around it so checking out at a website you would have to prove your identity using national ID and then only IE would work.
Be very careful what you ask for.
Could be…unfortunately in these uncertain times on the internet it’s anyone’s guess.
Please, elucidate on your point? It’s not clear to me what point you’re trying to make.
“Take for granted” is the expression, granted being something that does not need to be proved, to the extent it is a point given freely in a discussion or debate.
Cloudflare is stellar. I just bought tickets to SeaWorld and my mobile phone was successfully blocked from being able to open the automatically emailed link with the ticket pdf in it. Top notch security.
