That’s the problem with being a benevolent dictator- if an action is for the greater good but the people don’t want it, is it still good? What are you willing to do to stay in office now that the people have proven they don’t know what’s best for them, and you know that you do?

Once people get desperate enough, they’ll be willing to work in the fields in the hot sun all day with no breaks, no shade, no water. The farmers will be happy with a new source of exploitable labor: win-win

Good thing we’re burning down fundamental government services, destroying our future and adding trillions to the national debt to fund tax cuts for those one percenters, huh

You see, nothing illegal happened on Trump-Epstein island. /s

In the 2010s, regulators in both the European Union and the United Kingdom stopped requiring companies to report quarterly results, moving to six-month reporting periods instead.

It also has precedence, real world demonstration.

In 2018, Trump urged the SEC to study moving to a six-month reporting system to “allow greater flexibility & save money.

And it’s even something he’s thought about for a while rather than a momentary impulse or reaction. I wonder what the results of that study were.

The US stock market is fairly strong at encouraging innovation, new companies, growth. My employer is one of many that moved its headquarters here to take advantage of that innovation economy. I don’t like this one proposal on the grounds that it erodes yet another US advantage. We’ll be worse off for it.

But we do have examples of it working so it’s not the end of the world. This seems far less destructive than most of his actions

Presumably a lot less trading from outside sources like 👍 investment funds and overseas investors

It’ll be like twitter: encourage the crazies and drive away the legit content until the platform is entirely ruined

I believe there were many “low information” voters who only knew they wanted change.

Where those voters might have wanted Biden Harris initiatives, those tended toward long term investments that people were not patient for or were not trumpeted as loudly. Improvements were neither visible nor immediate. Building is boring. Too many people never paid attention, wanted instant gratification or only heard the loudest voices.

You have to buy frosted. You have to toast them. Otherwise they’re just cardboard: you can’t really tell them apart from the box

There is no reset. All the easy to reach fossil fuels being gone may be an insurmountable obstacle to any reset being able to reach an industrial age

Why masturbate yourself like a peon, when you can spend $500000 to? And get a free Florence Pugh voice to “avenge” your crusaders?

I kind of thought that was the only real difference with 11: requiring the tpm

There are some companies that sell hardware with Linux pre-installed. The bigger companies that do are Dell and Lenovo.

Last time I checked, admittedly years ago, I was irritated at paying the same price as for the windows version of the same hardware. Why do I still need to pay the Microsoft tax and who’s getting it?

I hear diy law enforcement is now ok. Just modify the bill to let any concerned citizen file suit. Let the gestapo deal with millions of pesky lawsuits

Think of it like grandma. She can fold your underwear for you but needs to go sit down every half hour

Maybe I’m being too pedantic, but the headline is flush door handles, but the concern is electric latches and maybe electric handles. I wish newswriters care enough to be accurate.

false flag operation

Claims like this give both too much credit for action and too little to strategy.

• there’s no reason to believe this specific action was a false flag operation when in the current environment it’s simple to believe a radicalized individual
• isn’t that one of the benefits of the continuous hatred, outrage, divisiveness, chaos? There’s always going to be stuff like this happening, so you always have an event to capitalize on without the risk of doing it yourself

It only solves a small part of the issue at the cost of less convenience and consistency. Propose a “metric” time that solves more of this issue problem and I’m all for it

…second phone number…

Of course but it doesn’t scale. I’m currently up to 182 unique generated email addresses to help keep my online accounts a little more secure. But they all go through one or two phone numbers, leaving me more open to sim attacks, social engineering and data aggregation

Thanks for your insightful and detailed logic driven response

Both the camera and battery life are significant improvements. I’m excited.

For the watch, sleep apnea and high blood pressure sensors are a huge improvement for many of us. I’ll take all the health sensors I can get but those have my name on them (my watch is series 6 so I’d also pick up a few more sensors including crash detection)
