Ideally, the user should search for "books" communities and the top result should be the largest/most active community. If they don't like that community, they can try the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th result to see if they are better. Unfortunately, the Lemmy sort algorithm needs a lot of work.
If there are no users, there will be no new contents added.
If there are a lot of users (many more than there are now), there will be enough people around to support all sorts of niche communities, like Reddit had.
Tesla, SpaceX, etc., earning money would be taxed and that would impact Musk's value. They hide their money in individual compensation, you tax the individual, they hide it in corporate compensation, you tax them there.
You are not going to hurt them taxing corporate income. Business are even better at hiding their money. All revenue is channeled through 4 subsidiaries and a couple off shore accounts. Technically, all branches, except the one in the country with the lowest corporate tax rate, operate at a "loss".
You could try taxing revenue, but that will hurt businesses that are based around high volumes of low value transactions, such as discount retail.
You could try to tax business based on their asset value, but that will murder traditional businesses like farming and manufacturing, which rely on making a large investment in durable assets and then deriving profit over a long period. More importantly, it will not get any taxes out of tech companies, since most of their value is in intellectual property, something that cannot be accurately priced.
IT is definitely a job that has to know how to pick up heavy objects. I have a friend who was working as a consultant configuring corporate telephony systems. One time, he showed up to an install that was running a bit behind schedule. He stepped in to help finish the server room set up and ended up permanently damaging his back.
What leadership at OpenAI really regrets is forgetting to double check that Altman had a non-compete in place. It sounds like he is bringing his favorite employees over to Microsoft.
It is kind of hard to check hardware prototypes into version control.
I assume that first party game developers are sometimes working with unannounced hardware that Nintendo might not want leaving the office. It also makes it easier to call a hardware engineer over when you break the system.
Companies cannot lie in official investor relations statements. I don't think they face the same level of scrutiny for media comments about unannounced future plans.
Even then, there are many ways that a leak can be factual but technically untrue. Maybe show off the Switch 2 prototype at the conference, we swung by their headquarters after the conference concluded or showed off the prototype in a hotel room across the street from the conference.
I don't believe him. Why would Nintendo not be talking to important industry partners about upcoming console plans? I assume that every console vendor is talking to major developers to get feedback on prototypes and keep them in the loop about long term projections. Even if a new console is not coming soon, I am sure that development partners are getting updates on what the next console would be (and there is always a next console).
If a new console is coming soon, developers would need to know now if they have to budget for a Switch 2 porting team at some point in 2024 for a console launching in 2025. Launch titles need to start development well in advance.
As for the patent statement, his comment was obvious. Of course a patent does not mean that the technology is going to be used in an upcoming console.
You know, sometimes I see a comment here or there complaining that Nintendo doesn’t have their games on Xbox or PlayStation. That they should just sell themselves to do that.
I would hate to see Nintendo go away. I love their gimmicky systems. I leads to interesting, innovative experiences. For example, I am very disappointed by how badly the Wii U flopped. There were some games that did cool stuff with the asymmetric gameplay and I would have loved to see more game developers try to come up with cool concepts for it.
Who said that these anime ends after one season? Many times, they have a cliff hanger ending because the producers were hoping to get a second season or they are a faithful adaptation of the first part of a manga that is only half finished.
StreetPass was a super cool feature. I used to take my 3DS on the subway with me and see how many new Miis I would get. Too bad there is no equally cool replacement for the Switch.
My issue with the Wii U was that it was almost, but not entirely, portable. For some games, you could play entirely on the tablet, without the TV even being on, as long as you stayed relatively close to the TV. The issue was that you would start getting lag spikes when you tried to push the range and not enough games supported playing entirely on the tablet.
I would not object to a console that is whole house portable (probably via LAN, like the PlayStation Portal). I almost never play outside of my house and when I do, it is always at a location where I can connect a box to the network, like a friend's home or a vacation rental.
But there is zero reason why I shouldn’t be able to run a 7-Eleven and sleep on a cot in the back if I so choose.
Why can't you? I don't believe that there is any law saying you need to have a home in a residential zoned area (anti-homeless laws say that you cannot use public space as a home).
As far as I know, zoning laws just say that you cannot sell or rent out a property in a commercial district as residential. That is a false advertising/minimum allowable quality law, much like you cannot sell the meat of an a diseased animal. Commercial areas likely don't have the infrastructure (schools, utilities, safety) for people to live in.
I have a plug-in hybrid. I try to charge while running errands. I (almost) never can. In my area, most stores don't have chargers and those that do, typically have a slow charger with 2-4 spots. Those spots are always taken.
