I think we need something like this for someone on death row or something, maybe.

Why, though? What makes the person occupying the position of president uniquely qualified to make a decision in cases like this? If you have a judicial system that has been found to apply the law fairly, yet can still have its rulings overturned on a whim, doesn’t that make a mockery of the system?

It feels like an equivalent of a boss saying, “I know you and your team did months of research to come to the decision that you did, but I’m going to go in a different direction anyway. Not because I did more research than you, just because I feel like I know better than all of you”.

Unless theres’ some kind of reason that I’ve overlooked.

Beyond the scope of this thread, I know, but the concept of president seems absurd to me. Especially the way it’s implemented in the USA.

I don’t understand how any of this is addressing any of the concerns that users have expressed about the direction of the company. In fact, if I was feeling particularly skeptical, I’d just as well believe that these posts were solicited from inside the company.

Ed is finally tough enuss

damn thats pretty cheap

Maybe I’m a particularly sensitive, spiteful snowflake, but if the boss of my company accused me of being a “loser” because I cared about the quality of the product, I’d be looking to deliberately sabotage the product. And for a new job, of course.

2026 business has got very little to do with customers/consumers, supply and demand. Maybe it’s been that way for a long time, but this ‘AI’ nonsense has bought it to the surface, evidently.

/s ?

That I haven’t managed to fly yet is merely evidence that I just need to flap a bit harder

“one resident”. It’s funny, but I’ve been a resident in places without bike lanes and I don’t recall being asked by the BBC for my opinion.

Yeah and they repeatedly said it was in “early stages” of production.

It’ll be interesting to see if Australia lets apple make their own rules for how exactly they comply, like they did in the EU. If they do, this isn’t really a huge win.

You’re technically correct, but I still disagree with you on this. My reasoning is that I think the real story here is that meta has wormed its way out of being punished adequately, again.

No, I mean more like “Meta to pay just 10% of original fine” - So people get an idea of how their judiciary system really works.

the state was awarded $219.5 billion, but the penalty was ultimately reduced to $25 billion.

would have been a better headline, tbh

I believe a meaningful percentage of men would do the same.

Centuries of patriarchy contradict your belief

Russia tried, Cambridge Analitica did

You found the arch nemesis

I think this weird anti-self-checkout crowd is just young people who don’t remember the times before self-checkouts.

What crowd? As far as I can see, the article is talking about retailers who want to do this, not customers.

still doing this “shit foreign people say” routine?
