Not US corporation good, just US corporation = US controlled. This isn't a morality play, it's a national security play.

Well China is refusing to divest, i.e. sell it to a US owner so clearly that's not an option for them. If it was about the money they would have.

For now

You're assuming its a profit-focused endeavor rather than a propaganda arm of the Chinese government.

Apparently TikTok sent out push notifications telling users to call their representatives. Minors were being provided instructions with their representatives' phone numbers and contact info, but didn't even know who they were calling and were asking basic questions like "What is Congress?"

Kind of shows the amount of power TikTok has over American youth.

Not just "remain visible" - actively promoted. There's a reason people talk about Youtube's right-wing content pipeline. If you start watching anything male-oriented, Youtube will start slowly promoting more and more right-wing content to you until you're watching Ben Shaprio and Andrew Tate

Everyone's commenting on their books but twitch's published numbers are all bullshit pretending they're paying market rate for AWS when they obviously get a deal being a subsidiary of Amazon. IIRC their last attempt to show they needed to up prices even had them using non-bulk AWS rates which they obviously wouldn't pay even if they werent owned by Amazon.

Yeah there certainly wasn't any loss leading or intentional undercutting being done to get below profitable prices to drive current players out of those markets /s

Netflix recently stopped me from casting to my tv from my phone, which used to work fine

Okay but she's actively choosing to be that famous. She spent 6 years with Joe living a quiet low key life, but she decided to do another breakout into more fame and this is the cost. Plus she could charter jets like other celebrities, or idk just not fly home every weekend from halfway across the world?

But does Netflix even have good movies? Like I think it'd be easier to do exactly that but on HBO Max or Disney Plus, or a TV show on Hulu.

I'm sure the baggers would rather be employed rather than laid off. I'd rather have the money go to a bagger than the CEO's pockets.

If it has such a small effect, why is Apple so hell-bent on stopping it?

Turns out even under socialism, I'd still rather have someone else scan and bag my things.

Not a win for the shopper, who now has to scan and bag their own items. Not a win for the now laid-off cashier who is unemployed. Only a win for the company, which has gained free labor.

I feel like 90+% of the time I use Google, it's just because it's more convenient than going to the actual website I want. Like if I want a Wikipedia article about a movie, it turns out it's faster to type in the movie name in Google and click than go to Wikipedia and search the movie.

How about we:

1. Don't let random customers test it and instead use heavily trained, specialized test drivers
2. Require permitting and, e.g., an obstacle course before letting a company's software be randomly updated and thrown on the road?

Why is there this constant false dichotomy implying that the only way to test self driving cars is a wild west of no regulation?

And also who said that self driving cars are safer than humans? Tesla's numbers are all statistical lies (in fact Teslas were recently shown to have the most accidents), Cruise just shutdown in SF because they were a liability, and Waymo is heavily limited in its time/weather/areas for driving.

Same vibes

Has it seriously not occurred to zionists that there's a middle step between doing absolutely nothing and leveling the entire building?

But where's the genocide in that?

How do you use it as a laptop replacement? What tasks are you doing on it that would otherwise be done on a laptop? I feel like its too small, it would only replace phone tasks for me.
