I think parent (and definitely me) is thinking of a very specific 80-year-old.

I built dailycat.app and it has good cat pictures!

And it's so clean! Makes The Magic Kingdom look like a toxic waste dump. Also has great rides. Can't recommend Dollywood enough.

Depends if it's Pro Ultra Max, or Plus Max Ultra.

None. But I'm willing to bet they'll still be around in 3 years.

You're under the assumption that corporations (especially big ones) are some form of meritocracy. Don't believe the bullshit, it's all about politics, timing, and luck (in that order).

Publicly-traded companies always put short-term profits over anything else; if they don't demonstrably do that, the leadership exposes themselves and the company to shareholder lawsuits. I've been at a BigCorp where layoffs happen at the end of each quarter to look good on the balance sheet, only to hire most of those people back. Rinse and repeat.

Again, this has nothing to do with "doing a good job" or being a model employee. The days of working hard and getting rewarded are dead and buried, and the MBAs are the ones with the guns and shovels.

The social credit system already exists; we're just not allowed to see it.

And do nations use Deutsche Bank's services?

It means that nations are beginning to abandon (or at least hedge against) the dollar as the world's currency, due to the host nation's instability and global political situation. "Great Again", indeed.

Just your common dick-measuring contest at a different echelon. When all people are NPCs to be exploited, getting the highest score is the goal.

Imagine how bad it must be when you go from Meta to OpenAI and nope out of the latter.

Now that this has proven successful and without recourse, I fully expect Musk to do the same for his tweets on Twitter.

Yes because Truth Social and its owner/head troll both had a stellar reputation to begin with.

I think this approach they're taking is to compensate for their inability to compete; they're cynically claiming to support the open-source ecosystem when it's convenient for their marketing. This move reeks of a future rugpull, as Meta is wont to do.

Fully one third absolutely love it.

Thought process is: "me and my buddies get richer, fuck all of you"

...unless the gangsters change the rules. Which they have and will.

There's a reason I'm browsing HN right now. Dead in the water.

Looks like classic enshittification to me. It doesn't only apply to software and services.

Yeah well I'm sure they would like to prevent that.

That's also when the partnership with Rivian really takes off. Uber clearly wants its own fleet of robotaxis; they already unsuccessfully burnt a lot of money on it years ago. Looks like they're content letting other companies take the risk while helping fund them.

If I want an e-book, I buy it from bookshop.org and then pirate the DRM-free version. It clears my conscience: the author gets paid, a small bookshop gets the sale, and I can read my book anywhere.

They have, it's called "skin tint".

I think LLMs will take over making those trashy beach novels, as they're essentially clones. And people who like them will continue to buy them; no shade, some people enjoy that. But for good original stories and plots, you're going to need people to create that world.

He's an absolute ghoul, and to see sibling comments praising him breaks my heart. Yeah, he "did his time", but he also took advantage of sick people for immense profit. You don't get a pass for that.

I mean he breaks everything, so....

Our citizens as well!
