Whoever was implanted with this was restricted to having lost complete motor function and likely had extremely poor quality of life, opting for this procedure as a last hope. I get you're making a joke but I hope you understand it's at the expense of someone in a terrible situation who's undergoing a significant amount of suffering and likely was prior to any interaction with Musk.

Sites at that scale that cannot afford errors, downtime, or system breaches operate massive IT teams just to keep the systems running. That's before even touching Logistics,Advertising, customer service, seller outreach, brand management, human resources, etc, etc. Ebay in 2023 had 132 Million customers. That's 12,000 customers per employee per year, or 32 customers per employee per day assuming they worked the full 365 solid. A rather lean storefront actually, probably propped up significantly by the labor of their third-party sellers.

It’ll create 0 as long as the legislation is robust and the current department/politician in charge doesn’t meddle. If you look at other utilities that doesn’t always end up being the case. They should definitely be ripping apart most big-name ISPs and replacing them with localized ones, in addition to absolutely destroying their ability to monopolize by forcing them to rent shared linespace at reasonable cost.

Remember the time when Sony invented rootkits to make their drm stronger? Pepridge farm remembers.

It's a neural net designed in our image based on our pain and greed based logic/learning/universal context, using that as a knowledge base. Can't really be surprised it emulates this feature of humanity 😂

In fairness the denial to acknowledge or entertain such a request does not provide proof of the doubt of one's words, merely a non-desire to participate.

Isn't the logic that it's an easy thing to use as a sign of conformance? A check to see if you're willing to compromise your personal choices for the groups mandate?

Protest without civil disruption is impossible. There's many many examples of this throughout history. I wish it weren't necessary, because yes I know things have become so bad under the current capitalistic economy that even a few hours or a day can make/break livelihoods, but it is necessary if we as a society want to have any hope of reclaiming power from our corporate and governmental overlords. They're simply too entrenched and empowered in comparison to those they abuse at this point to fight with mere words alone.

No, it's like saying swapping out the fuel delivery system and ecu fuel mapping with a custom tunable system and Map is one of the most dangerous things you can do to your car; which it is if not done by a professional or someone with significant experience/understanding.

It comes back if you give it time. It takes a while for you to move on from things like that. General rule of thumb is 1 month minimum per year together.
