Reply to Bloomberg: Amazon Packages Burn in India, Final Stop in Broken Recycling System. Plastic wrappers and parcels that start off in Americans’ recycling bins end up at illegal dumpsites and industrial furnaces — and inside the lungs of people by ombx
We need to ban plastic packaging or at least limit it heavily. I used to work for a big box store and the amount we used to go through on a daily basis is unreal. And then each product we pulled out of plastic packaging to ship had more plastic packaging for the customer to pull off when they get it home.

Reply to [OC] Apple VS 110 Countries by rubenbmathisen
We provide Apple with government subsidies equal or greater to the GDP of the bottom 10 countries on the list.
We pay apple more than some countries are worth just to keep their shareholders rich. We don't help our own companies compete with Apple, We just pay the giants to get bigger.

Reply to Withings' $500 toilet computer wants to be WebMD for your pee | The hardware sits in your toilet, analyzing what's poured forth into it by chrisdh79
This would be nice if you owned the data. If it wasn't a networked device and was capable of making these determinations without sending your PHI back and forth between your toilet, your phone, and their web servers.
Make a device that can analyze my pee without sending that data anywhere, and maybe then we'll talk.

Reply to Texas man appeals death sentence, stating Comedy Central episode violated his rights by djc8
He only killed one guy do yall really need to enforce the death penalty here? That old guy would probably be dead by now anyway.
Save it up for maximum effect. If they didn't kill more than 4 people it's really just a waste of everybody's time to go through every appeal.

They shouldn't need to create separate legislation every time a security threat arises.
They can come up with as many extra reasons as they want, and they can vote to ban anything they want. That's not my issue.
My issue is that something is creating a threat to government devices. We should have teams in place to identify these threats and clear policy on how to proceed once an application is identified as a security risk. Instead, we're leaving the call up to politicians who are twice as corruptible as they are informed.

Yeah I know, the standards aren't in place and that's a huge problem. I have more protections on my corpo phone than a city official does. We're begging to be hacked. Your town should not have even handed out phones without a solid security policy that outlines what data can and can't be collected, and the safety procedures that must be in place at a company before entrusting it with said data.

Yeah, I think that's the issue here. We need to set standards that any sane person probably thinks are already in place. It's been past time to regulate and the idea that a government employee can freely download any app is fucking insane. We are asking to be hacked.

Lawmakers should have no say in what individual app is and isn't allowed. They vote on the security standards, and if apps don't meet those standards they are banned by default.
No double standards when it comes to data security. If other apps fail in the same way tiktok does, just aren't controlled by the Chinese state, they should be banned too.

"Back to nature, that's just another term for letting the immigrants take over" - the inevitably successful campaign to outlaw a smart solution in favor of cheaper unsustainability.

Reply to Judge rules Swissvale native Jack Burman and Jacob Wohl must spend 500 hours registering voters by DaveOJ12
Not enough time. Even if those calls were only 30 seconds, their crime would span over 700 hours. If the call lasted a minute and a half, that's over 2000 hours.
Bare minimum they should be required to spend at least as much time being punished as was spent by thier victims listening to that crap.

These industries are only "doomed" because they were vastly overvalued. And they were vastly overvalued to justify the insane r&d required for voice recognition.
So basically, companies that were already worth trillions decided to lie about the value of voice data in order to aquire enough investment capital to fund r&d that they could already afford.
Stop subsidizing these fucks. We should be funding the research that makes tech like voice recognition possible. If it remains proprietary it has no value to the American economy.

Both Should be a priority. Fuck WSJ for using environmentalism to write a hit piece on another form of environmentalism. Green space is likely more profitable for the state economy in the long run, it's just that the benefits are spread more evenly and harder to corrupt.

Reply to comment by Educational-News2334 in Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony are reportedly all skipping E3 2023 by dapperlemon
The best part about e3 is having such a huge load of announcements and updates dropped at the same time.
But the last 3 years have highlighted how dumb it is to show off next gen graphics during a live show. Just make a pre-recorded showcase so we can actually appreciate all that work.
