They get trained to get you to misspeak, and they ask you questions that if you answer them like a normal human you give up rights...
Fifth amendment compensation doesn't happen cause the courts are corrupt. No blame no problem.
It should be that you can sell a cheaper, better version of an Amazon basics product and overtake it.
If there is literally no way to do that... Amazon is clearly a market manipulator.
It's so blatantly obvious if you've ever done a side by side in things like lamps, backpacks etc and other super simple designs.
It's such a good racket Hudson News...a little news stand company inside a few dozen terminals was able to go public on the NYSE...
The public perception that security is "doing it's job" is non-existent since everyone knows it's at best a jobs program and in practice another group of people measurably stealing travellers things.
NSO Group probably uses an Indian intermediary (my first guess) and does the same thing.
The purpose of broadcasting isn't the same as conversation. People want the result of a positive interaction, but they do that by chasing hundreds of negative ones.
The negative interactions are actually better for the platform as they are (in some studies) almost 10x as effective at driving engagement. So the companies looking for "the most engaging" communities, drive more negative interactions.
The people looking for the most clicks, chase the "dunking" and "counter dunking" interactions, and it becomes at best 90% of the platform, at in reality like 99% of what you see while you're doom scrolling.
Social media is awful, and draws out our worst impulses as a business model.
The man who could whistle the nuclear codes has passed away. And now maybe I can strike the social engineering village before the sun comes up.
So they were modeling all their behavior and driving around cooperative pedestrians and cars (mostly) now they have to model for an adversarial public.
Good fucking luck.
This is the mutant expectation of a company that's very existence hinges on fucking over legitimate human made trades.
We say that today, and remember the best part of the experience... but we do forget, it was all at the mercy of your (maybe if you're lucky) UltraATA/33mhz bus.
Nuke reddit (only on the edge extension store it looks like) is giving their frontends a workout.
This has big "algebra teacher is mad at smartphones" energy.
And we trained all those students on all the same text...
And then we run a comparison to identify if they used the same source material...
Aaaand everyone's cheating.
If in 2 years Twitter isn't significantly smaller (think 1500 people) and significantly cheaper to run I'd be surprised.
If in 2 years twitter isn't the worst place to work in the valley I'd also be surprised.
This is a windfall for Gov't contractors.
The bit I'm sure he was referencing was the "Mr Hilter" bits in Monty Python... He literally played Hitler to make fun of him...
It is hilarious though that Cleese can Godwin any argument instantly.
You have definitely met pot smokers who have, and do live perfectly normal lives because their baseline is better. You probably have no idea who they are.
You're hyper vigilant, looking everywhere, your reactions are delayed a little such as that of an 60 year old person, and you're definitely listening to speed "limit" as the maximum, and not as the average.
