When he says “We”, he means the Trump org, or the side of the Kushners who are with him. Remember - either it directly and immediately benefits him, or he doesn’t know it exists. When he says “we”, he always means “I”. He doesn’t do much business with Canada. Therefore, he wants to buy it so he can shit out slums all over it.

TFM isn’t worth the R. It doesn’t describe failure states or bugs in a way that a normal user understands or can work with. Either it works perfectly, or there’s basically no way to figure out exactly what went wrong and how.

I’m glad everyone is getting away from the Apple tax.

I mean mainly fighting against the standardization of DRM, or tolerating anything that allows corporations to demand their “features” (anything that removes privacy) become standard. The difference between a good browser and a bad one shouldn’t be whether you can finagle a Widevine license for cheap.

Or, more generally, they should be actively blocking anything that would benefit corporate interests over the rights of the people. But since the Linux Foundation threw in with Google, Microsoft is a Google client, and Mozilla Corp runs on Google money, the W3C has been a joke for years. Mozilla has made themselves irrelevant, since they were just seen as a means to prevent the Google antitrust cases.

Hopefully this breakup of Google, and the loss of the money, will get the CEO (currently earning 1% of the total of Mozilla’s money - no one person should do that unless there’s less than 100 people), and that whole bunch to leave so that volunteers can take over.

Maybe, just as a crazy thought here, jwz was right. Mozilla and Firefox exist for 2 purposes - to build the standard reference browser, free of corporate crud (like, say, Google WebExtensions); and to be an absolute attack dog against ridiculous corporate desires.

Without a doubt, they are - but we also know that everything this guy does is to benefit a company one of his patrons owns.

Can we make sure that we define non-US movies as any movie that’s got a primary non-US investor? So that, given the amount of money China has poured into Disney, it makes them non-US? And all the Chinese film companies that have been sniffing around and snapping up productions that should be US based?

Good. It should remain illegal.

And which private jail company is he going to immediately sell it to?

So like a poltergeist, but created by an entire population?

No, I was simplifying the two proof systems in crypto, not saying it’s the cause of long-term trends.

If you’re in the area i am, the place I’m talking about is on the 163 line.

PoW = Get a GPU, crunch some numbers, make some money.

PoS = The Rich Get Richer. The Poor Get Screwed.

So this is how they move off fiat? I’m sure they’re on a Proof of Stake L1/L2, rather than a Proof of Work.

You’re right. My markup % was off. I’m glad I have a computer calculating it at work.

People who slip by a day and just keep a mess tend to have support networks. If they’re employed, they’re not likely to get thrown in a mental health section in NY. Plus, again, this is New York, not Texas or Florida. Consider the context here. There’s a lot of homeless people in the City who refuse care and get washed through the system. They aren’t getting held in jail, but they’re racking up fines, putting them further behind and worse off. Mandatory care is needed for some people. And we can’t write laws to cover the corner cases without risking overreach.

I agree. But I think I sort of mentioned, what I found was that through serendipity, it works out to the packages being pretty accurate to 8 .25lb burgers, aside from the onion, mustard, ketchup, and pickles.

I would make a family meal out of that - in fact, I think I might this weekend. You’re right, time isn’t free. But I’m not going to pay more than double the retail COGS for a sandwich that’s produced on commercial scale and not cooked by hand. If that’s what they need to do in order to keep the lights on, then they need to cut overhead or negotiate more effectively to reduce COGS. But we all know that these are not ‘keep the lights on’ prices. They could cut the price and still make a profit.

If it was a locally owned small business where I believed that my support would be valued, or where they were reinvesting into the local community, I think I’d accept it. Heck, I do accept it. One of my local places serves a $13 burger. I buy it, because I know where they get their beef, and their veggies, and the staff and owners are in my area. Everything but the tax comes back into my local economy. That’s not how McD’s works.

Goodwill should lose that too.

How about we lower it to $16,000?

Yup, and that’s just a burger. Mind you, I live in spitting distance of NYC, so I do admittedly have a cost that’s inflated due to high taxes and high minimum wage. But all my other costs were based on my local supermarket that’s within walking distance of the McD’s I used for price reference. If I’d used the Walmart that’s in the same lot, it’d be even more extreme.
