You still have to pay USA income tax abroad unless you renounce your citizenship.

All the hate combined: https://youtu.be/CORANvT8l9A

Office politics with plausible deniability is also so much harder to do when leaving behind an electronic trail.

That's Elon at Twitter. He was the one yanking cables.

That's basically the intro from The Swarm

Indeed. They started pushing things that make them profit before the things that you're searching for. They love the revenue stream but are realizing now that it's also killing their main product: googling.

But if they're moving to AI it will probably be the same, trying to guide you into selling something instead of giving what you want. Microsoft too is trying to paper over their os with ads so you know what direction they're going.

Welcome to !desirepath@lemmy.world. We've been expecting you.

He "made a threatening gesture" at the camera who kept filming him while he said repeatedly he didn't wanted to be filmed at that time.

It puts it in the same category as aspartame and mobile phones. That's below the category with sunlight in it.

Yes, the suits have taken over and switched the money squeeze to max.

Welcome to late stage capitalism, where billionaires are the pharaohs of old, doing huge constructions sacrificing countless workers just for vanity.

Nobody would talk about it if it was a standard square city. Masdar city is a square design of 6km² for example, also trying to be a hub of future technologies, and most people will go "mass what city?" The Line attracts attention, and with attention often comes money. At least they have the first part right, the second part isn't working out as they hoped it would.

Another one that sees "The Handmaid's Tale" as a manual to follow.

It perfectly symbolizes the relentless pressure of the boot of the tech bros on the workers in the industries they disrupt.

That's not exactly true. Barter was never used like that in the past. People used gift giving systems or other trust based systems in daily life. Barter was only used with strangers and that was not a common occurrence. These trust based systems do work in smaller settings but break down in large settings where interacting with strangers is the norm.

Barter was never a thing in daily life. No anthropogist found evidence for that. Trust based systems were used, but those don't work well when they population increases and interaction with strangers happens more. That's where currency takes over.

Why currency is the most important thing right now? Because currency at the moment is status and many people seek a high status on society.

And preceded by a coup if he doesn't get elected?

EU says it's not the EU fining Apple. It's actually 27 different countries. Now pay up.

There are now three competing standards.

I'm not pirating officer. I'm just collecting information for training my AI model.

Those who make peaceful labor negotiations impossible, make violent strikes inevitable.

And with SpaceX, where rocket fuel and very expensive parts are abundant, this could be more entertaining and explosive than the average starship launch.

If selling all the data is early stages, I want to know what late stage monetization looks like. Pay a fee to get unbanned? Fines if the post gets down voted?

Companies are forcing return to office policies as a covert way of doing layoffs without compensation, if they're not kicking people out with the thousands and are shocked to discover workers are now not particularly loyal to employers.

They also hate it when employees use the exact same economic reasoning as they do to maximize revenue and take opportunities.

So employees are also not "quiet quiting" but "optimizing effort/reward strategies".

Nobody is "working somewhere else" but just "geographically re-engaging opportunities".

Exactly that. On average the economy is doing fine but it's skewed very heavily towards the top and nothing much for the 90%. The median income is actually decreasing.

Yes. Cold winters kill these mosquitos, and winters are not that cold anymore.

A few years ago the MBA suits took over from the nerds and it became inevitable.

Not always a good idea

The Nazi bar is open for business

Their original product was called SEQUEL. Structured English Query Language. They got sued by a company called sequel so changed it to SQL, but everybody still calls it sequel.

had used the term white flag “to indicate a cessation of hostilities, a truce reached with the courage of negotiation”. He repeated the pontiff’s call for a “diplomatic solution in search of a just and lasting peace”

That's kinda hard when Russia bombs humanitary corridors, ceasefire equals rearm and regroup and nothing else, and the last diplomatic solution was used as toilet paper to start the current war.

Companies should not see this as a negative. They should think about this as a "radical invitation of social corporate interaction in the gaming industry to maximize long term engagement of the developers."

Only if you believe in it. Many CEOs do. They're very good in magical thinking.

encouraging people to post to a more intimate audience

Google+ circles was just ahead of its time.

And then came the mass layoffs, and everybody that came after that knew that long term loyalty was gone. Long term promises and careers didn't mean anything.

Then the budget for raises dried up suddenly, and the only way to get more wage was to change company. Any short term loyalty was gone, and putting in the hours for something that wouldn't come by the end of the year is now considered foolish. A career was a sequence of hops.

These are the kids that grew up seeing how this works and what it did to their parents. Now companies are shocked these kids don't want to play the same game.

Sounds like the EU is going to have fun with this one. Ads on social media must be clearly marked. If not, Spez's welcome in the big leagues is a big fine.

If people actually follow Musk when he gets to Mars, that's going to be their planetary overlord. He'll just take their oxygen and they'll thank him.
