If we were serious about getting people to quit, it would be better to force producers to slowly decrease the nicotine content, and the other addictive additives used in cigarettes. Of course the producers lobby and sue governments trying to limit them in any way.

Just ban the filter. Let them smoke raw and unfiltered.

Within the billionaire bubble there was a lot of hype. Outside of that, not so much.

A new platform to colonize, gathering info on what people were looking at in the virtual world and selling that to advertising made their wallets go very erect.

You can just buy chicken and bread separately.

And certainly never about the price of hydrogen. It's either running the car on fossil fuels with extra steps, or on solar and wind electricity with extra steps. Extra steps cost a lot.

overly expensive and poorly designed

Oh, like a flying cyber truck?

Relaunching Stadia?

The article does mention that when the AI bubble is going down, the big players will use the defunct AI infrastructure and add it to their cloud business to get more of the market that way and, in the end, make the line go up.

Glorious victories a bit closer to home with every day.

Israel has shown exactly manipulative and deceitful it can be when invading Gaza and it seems this little tantrum of yours is just one more part of playing victim while being very proud of war results at the same time. This is your cue to call me an Hamas agent.

Electronic products and software should get a "at least supported until" label on the packaging and legally obligated to keep the servers running until that time.

The German population went through serious economic troubles. Wheelbarrows of cash to buy stuff. Economically troubled people get angry and revolt, and in democratic systems that means firstly voting for the extreme candidates, the ones with a good story. Anger shuts down critical thinking and they don't think about other consequences of their vote.

That's how many elections went in a lot of counties in the last few years too.

We’re they visiting them in person and physically intimidating them?

Not this instance specifically, but other Chinese police stations around the world do indeed do that. It's seen as an organization, not unlike the CIA, just less official.

These police officers are reported to also go after people of Chinese origin that have said things the CCP doesn't like. Violating the right to free speech on USA soil doesn't sit well with the local authorities and diplomats.

Probably some trans people disliking furries. It's like how some lesbians don't like trans-women because they're not "real women".

The TV is for the wife, but even she gets annoyed with the amount of ads and reruns to increasingly turn to streaming.

That's how he runs. It's like those people "summoning spirits" doing a cold reading, but in a much larger scale.

"I sense you are bothered by roads, airplanes, children, jobs"

"Yes, jobs. How did you know?"

"And it's all the fault of trees, donkeys, cars, doctors, immigrants."

"I really hate immigrants."

"so we'll build a bicycle, sidewalk, front door, barbed wire, a wall"

"Oh yes, we need a wall to keep them out. This guy is really telling it like it is."

When asked later why he suggested a bicycle, this is vehemently denied even when recordings are shown.

Unless you use goat wool socks. Then you can go for a old school hippie build. Sandals, long hair, tie dye shirt and go from there.

Not really. Trump just adjusts his story when he notices it's not well received. He even started to promote getting vaccinated to keep his base from dieing, noticed the pushback and changed his message to anti-vax again.

To upper management, it's all fields in a spreadsheet anyway. That you need 3 cheaper juniors to replace that one expensive talent to in the end pay more for less is abstracted away and the source of many meetings to figure out why reality doesn't match projections. That's called the efficiency of private enterprises.
