Comes down to finances ultimately?

If can afford wild then get wild, otherwise farmed is cheaper.

No different to farmed animals or non organic crops. All three are maximised for growth rate and revenue

Yes it’s mostly unusable but ongoing iterations of projects like this will eventually lead to a usuable version so good to see

> I've kind of half joked with my wife about the idea of opening a modern video rental place there. We both lament the loss of a place or you could go and chit chat about movies.

South Park did an episode where Randy Marsh does this

   Inside a monolith it's easy to answer questions like "Which dependencies are we shipping?"; or "Is this piece of code still used?” Once the code is spread across dozens of independent services, those answers become much harder to obtain.

You can setup metric for that or see the data.

    My primary concern is the risk that authoritarian governments—not solely the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), although the CCP is clearly the most capable threat

If relations improve between the countries over ai, that comment could lead to billions in lost revenue for Anthropic

In finance there is the concept of ‘sunk cost’ and not letting it factor into future decisions.

You have spent money and have got so far, now you need to forget the money spent and ask yourself if today you still see this project as viable based on projected future costs and your use of time needed.

Forget money spent already, and detach emotionally, make a decision as of today.

I use Tor (with no scripts addon) for casual browsing, closing it down regularly to clear it.

Then a mainstream browser for anything I leave logged in like email.

And Firefox with clear everything on exit setting for the occasional site blocked on Tor.

Use Tor people!

Will likely be via a zero code platform like n8n or make or zappier.

Imagine some sales and CRM platforms are also offering this

Peer pressure / fear of losing competitiveness to rivals / latest band wagon to get promoted via

Illegally parked Cars are regularly lifted up and put into the back of flatbed lorries or towed away on back two wheels so this is arguably more gentle!

I imagine nvidia is securing these loans on the hardware being bought?

So if the company defaults they can take the GPUs and servers etc and sell those.

The market wants to take a cut per transaction, perpetually. At a high profit margin.

This is one where not the market but a country/group of countries need to rollout their own public payments so fees are minimal to zero.

> I think this will be a much bigger threat to Visa and Mastercard than the oft-promised digital Euro.

Not just the American card networks but also a threat to the US Dollar as the reserve currency and the power it gives to the USA

Hence why USA is unhappy with Brazil over their Pix system

Wero’s website says they don’t charge fees

So who is charging the fees?

By raising the profile of airport seizures all it means is that serious criminals will wipe their devices prior to travelling and restore afterwards/buy a new device for travel.

The powers of investigators special rights and abilities rely on them being used very rarely. Last thing the terrorism investigators want is media coverage exposing their tactics.

Other countries are worse legally than USA, including uk

The courts are stacked against the defence as the bigger the fight, the more defence lawyers can bill.

The legal profession is incentivised to not seek to change rules that disadvantage their clients…

Yes.

Prosecutors will often lower charges to ones where it can be tried without a jury too

If it’s a malicious prosecution by the country/state then Jury is your best best over a Judge.

There is a reason that Elon Musks companies and others put a ‘you agree to not have a jury trial…’ clause in their terms as Judges are easier to influence - when a legal case is filed it’s allocated to a judge and certain cases will go strategically to a Judges with certain bias

Most music is controlled by a few large companies.

If you could demonstrate a revenue stream higher than streaming then they may support. Without that, a struggle, as you need to have exclusives and bonus tracks to differentiate.

With vinyl there are claims of a superior listening experience, that’s not the case with casettes

If any of you are parents of young kids, buy a used book box or Walkman of eBay along with good albums and give them to a child who will love it.

    But fair play to OP, you'd have to bounce it through at least Google Translate to make it legible to the predominant English-speaking HM crowd: https://x-com.translate.goog/akiraa_tanaka/status/2080114490...

People still use google translate? Most browsers now have translate built in, as do llm

I imagine grok on x will do this too

    >According to the annual report of the computing giant published this week, the company had 141,000 employees as of May 31, 2026. This is a significant downsizing compared to the corresponding period last year, when the number of employees at Oracle stood at approximately 162,000 people. The report further reveals that the company paid a massive fortune of $1.84 billion for severance pay and other retirement expenses accompanying the restructuring moves in the current fiscal year.

Workforce remains huge at 141k so perhaps a non story and just normal big company rounds of redundancies that were the case pre-ai

Not just USA, same in many other countries too.

If a journalist or activist don’t use face or fingerprints to unlock devices.

It’s a loss leader for their other products so it may well do

It may, but what’s that got to do with moving away from namecheap?

Namecheap is not even cheap for names anymore, their renewal prices made me transfer elsewhere

>Domain privacy protection is a feature that Namecheap provides for all valid domains. Its included by default at no extra cost.

Many/most domain registrars now give free domain privacy, so that’s not a reason to stay with namecheap.

Namecheap renewal rates are also higher than many others so surprises you have stayed and paid above market rates

B2b contracts have less protection in law than consumer contracts

As businesses are expected to be more informed and equal in the negotiations

Because the discount would be sufficiently large.

That made me laugh

Tsmc are opening 10 factories in USA at cost of $265bn

Intel staying strong is still vital for competitiveness though
