I have a lot of questions for whoever set that up in the first place, first and foremost of which is: why in the everlasting fuck was that computer ever attached to the internet? At most it should be allowed internal network access only.

kids in FPS games razz me for speaking too formally.
Don’t worry about that one. It’s one of the few cases where the children are in fact wrong.
Which conversions? Most metric conversions are drastically simpler than their imperial counterparts.
Add in the $12 billion, and everyone now gets $140. Still not going to help them.
Go after the banks for some actual shitty things they do. A money lender telling people to spend responsibly is the opposite of the things we should be going after them for.
So across all consumers and small businesses, Chase has 86 million customers. If the CEO distributed all his pay, everyone gets $0.14. That’s not going to solve anyone being poor, and not going to help you if you have shitty spending habits.
For all the shitty things banks do, knocking them for actually advocating someone good for once seems counter-productive.
Exactly. More specifically, I’m not afraid of how people vote, I’m afraid of people choosing not to.
Wait, is that a random number, or the actual scale of the power draw we’re talking about?
'Cause that’s fuck-all when we’re talking about industrial level power draw.
Well now this really makes for a trio of facts that paint a horrifying picture:
Guess I should buy some stocks in companies that use prison labour.
Checks out, what with the current state of the Christian-right in the US.
Not important enough to me at this point to spend the time changing over. Windows 10 does what I need it to and still gets security updates. When one of those two factors changed, then it will be worth my time to change over.
Microsoft has made the choice very easy for me. I still have an i7-7700k that works just fine. But that’s “too old”, so when Windows 10 hits end of life, I’ll be switching over to Linux.
the ads are minimally intrusive — that is, highly relevant and engaging — they should not detract from the overall user experience
In what universe do ads, no matter how “relevant and engaging”, ever not detract from the overall experience?
Huh. Maybe if there weren’t profit sucking leeches built into the entire healthcare system, prices wouldn’t be so high and Medicare wouldn’t be at risk of becoming insolvent.
Also, there’s nothing in there that seems to be anywhere near an actual legal problem.
Are you immortal? Do you have an income vastly higher than the servicing cost of that debt? Do you owe the large a majority of that debt to yourself? Are you able to, if push came to shove, tell your external creditors to go fuck themselves and dare them to so much as try to collect on the debt you don’t feel like paying? If you can’t answer “yes” to all these questions, you aren’t the US and have a debt situation that has absolutely nothing in common with the US debt.
Ok, but where did I even suggest that we should maintain the status quo? It’s always important to consider all effects of whichever actions you take. Saying that “it’s important to consider the economic ramifications” does not say anything about what the conclusions those considerations should come to.
If you want real change, and more importantly effective change, all socio-political and economic ramifications should be considered, and accounted for/mitigated as necessary.
It’s very simple to tear things down in name of ideals, but this type thinking has to happen (preferably beforehand) in order to actually build something better afterwards.
The first half of that question is extremely important though. Severe enough economic problems almost always lead to unrest and violence, which in turn will completely derail any progress we make on fixing the environment.
Sold by weight, not volume, and oil is 0% dinosaur.
The math for those large cooperations is a bit more complex than that. CEO compensation is often mostly stock options, which has a value for tax purposes, but is not a value that can be easily reinvested into the company. The actual cash salary portion of the compensation package is usually peanuts compared to company revenue.
They’re basically trading the CEO partial ownership of the company in exchange for running it, and I’m not sure how you would go about forcing any kind of change on that, without unintentionally breaking things for smaller companies and startups.
I watched that movie on an airplane last week, and it was fine to me. What was the internet’s problem with it?
