drat so the end result is similar to the bank being closed an extra couple of days? I’ve seen worse fates for banks that switched mobile apps. bdid must be devastated that people will be fine.

Yeah, assuming they couldn’t go through the accounts and only insure the ones that add value to society, this is probably a best case scenario.

Brrrmph posted:it’s a bailout and it’s hilarious to see the logistical hoops people jump through to say otherwise It’s absolutely a bailout, but who cares? It’s not bailing out the bank (it no longer exists), it’s bailing out their (now former) customers. The government has selectively assisted bank customers instead of shareholders. People that have no say in which bank their employer chooses can continue to be paid. Have we forgotten who to hate around here? The most sympathetic group involved was assisted and the least sympathetic wasn’t.

Regular-rear end people work there though. People work bullshit jobs all the time, and they should get paid. SV is a transfer of wealth from billionaire vampires to people with relatively little education compared to most highly paid occupations. Feel free to hate the companies but I can’t get behind “sacrifice the workers”.

mila kunis posted:let's not pretend this is being done for the workers, and even if it is - it is still something to get angry about, because these One Weird Tricks somehow aren't available when the neoliberal regimes we all live under wreck and underfund basic public services, do nothing for anyone else in society who've seen their wages and quality of life decline and funnel wealth towards the already wealthy - which seems to be exactly what happened here? this is the state deciding there's an upper caste of people who deserve to made whole when things go wrong, and everyone else can go hang. “We should increase funding of social services” is both something I agree with and something completely irrelevant to this situation. What is your position? People shouldn’t get paid because rich people defund welfare? You’ve lost the plot. It’s ok to be wrong, you don’t have to double down.

poo poo is more nuanced than just “rich people bad” or “government hates the poor”, however true those statements may be. They don’t represent an actual informed opinion on the matter.

mila kunis posted:what nuance? a bunch of connected rich people wailed to the government that the fart app companies they'd invested in were in trouble and their friends in high positions made sure money was available for them. ordinary people don't have leverage when it comes to a whole host of poo poo that matters to them, their family, their community and a good quality of life. is that an 'uninformed' view? what the gently caress are you talking about? I’m sorry for failing to realize this wasn’t a productive conversation earlier. You are speculating that the government would not step in to secure depositors if it helped ordinary people, but that is exactly what happened. You cannot seem to comprehend that the impact goes further than the names on the bank accounts. If you wish to remain ignorant, I will no longer stand in your way.

when I first moved to seattle I knew weed was legal but I didn't know all the little details around it, so when I went to the store and they said they accepted visa, I didn't think twice. as soon as I got back to my apartment, chase was calling asking if I just bought an amount of bitcoin that was suspiciously close to the amount of money the vape pen cost. I said "no I didn't buy any bitcoin" and they reversed the transaction. Now we just get cash back at the grocery store.

Powerful Two-Hander posted:"oh another article about Tesla loving u.....wait" I read that more as "we will not allow unmonitored additions to what can and can't be made available in a car" which seems entirely reasonable. I could see a lawsuit if VW allowed anyone to make in car apps available that were incredibly distracting. I'm not sure if it's still the case, but I know at one point you needed approval to make apps that support android auto, and approval hinged on usability requirements like # of taps to perform an action and tap target sizes.

And the dealer will just say "yes, of course, it does all the things you want it to, but only if you sign here."

nah, this is a step further. they normalized the view that the only valid styles are the ones that they have products for, cobranded with their on screen personalities. If it doesn't look like this it's "dated". They have wrecked some gorgeous homes on that godforsaken channel because they didn't conform to their identity. bring back wood paneling you cowards!!

I work in tech in the hopes that I can someday make enough money to not have to use tech. Current society subjects you to an unhealthy frequency of updates and phones (and especially smart watches, which seem extremely harmful imo) normalize having to constantly monitor for changes (so you can see ads as you do so). Yes you can disable notifications, but the fact that they are not disabled by default makes them actively harmful to end users. This is like when people say twitter isn't bad because you can just use it differently to make it less bad. Things should be judged based on the default outcome, since that's all 99% of people will experience. If I could have a personalized "morning edition" and "afternoon edition" PDF roundup sent to my remarkable that included emails, news, etc. I would use computers far less.

Can waymo/cruise/zoox/etc. be issued tickets or have the cars towed? Not asking if that happens, because I'm sure it doesn't, just wondering if that is something that could happen if the cops/city/state had the will to enforce traffic laws. I have no idea what the agreement looks like that allows these things to operate, but there has to be some kind of special arrangement, right?

The death of retail sucks. We're having a hell of a time right now finding some poo poo we need but don't know much about because Motherhood and Buy Buy Baby all shuttered. You can find stuff online but in-person comparative shopping is real important for us, who are complete dumbasses when it comes to this category of goods. Not to mention the need to try poo poo on now that you're a size and shape that you've never been before.

EricBauman posted:happen because of the received wisdom that the sight of fresh fruits and vegs and the smell of fresh bread is what draws people into the store I think it's "fresh stuff is the first thing you see so you feel good about shopping" because if they put the frozen dinners as the first thing you see you won't be excited about food, which drives down sales. Also, milk and eggs in the back because if you're just dropping in for staples they're gonna make you walk past everything to get there in case they can catch your attention on something else.
