Harvard saying they wouldn’t comply with Trump and fight it in court was great.

If they really wanted to do “The Right Thing”, they have the billions to keep these projects funded for several years while they fight. But I guess that’s too much to ask.

Both parties are in the pocket of the ownership class.
The Democrats seriously would rather see the republic fall to a pro corpo dictatorship, than do anything to address wealth inequality.

Just days ago didn’t he lament how terrible autism is, how destructive it is to whole families? Now he wants to take support away from those families? Being wrong is one thing, this is self contradictory nonsense.

The headline seems to imply something wrong is happening.

The options they got when hired finally matured, now they can sell them. With the share price cratering for things they can’t control (Musk being a dick) who wouldn’t just cash out? It’s the only thing worth doing in that situation.

He’s in a different room than we are.

Of course if one truly can’t afford it, paying for search can seem a luxury.

However I would argue as a counterpoint; If there’s any online service one would consider paying for, it should be search. Search is most literally our “front page to the internet”. It’s our first stop in any quest for information. Even the founders of Google knew early on, that putting adds in search creates a perverse incentive against the best results, favoring instead worse results, so people perform more searches, creating more opportunities to show people adds.

$5 a month isn’t much to know your query will give the results you want, instead of what an advertiser wants.

That’s not really at issue here.
This isn’t the government deciding what art is objectionable, and arresting those who play music they don’t like. This is a private company deciding what it wants to host in it’s library, that it curates, it pays license fees for, and sells subscriptions too. Ye or any Nazi absolutely has the right to make and sell any music they want. They however don’t have the right to force another company to sell their music for them.

Most negotiations are based on vibes.
It’s why I hate (and often refuse) to negotiate.

It surprising how much push back, and how many down votes I got from people here, when I said that more than a year ago.
I’m glad now in hind sight it’s apparently obvious to everyone.

Haven’t been able to find a copy of Big Shark by Tommy Wiseau.

They got shit for being stupid and using a public FOSS app that skirts the law.

It makes a kind of sense they would switch to something worse, because of the aforementioned stupid part.
