Greed is the fuel

Motorola Mobility belongs to Chinese Lenovo but headquarters are in Chicago. Not sure if that makes it better or worse regarding privacy and surveillance compared to USA only.

The red line is the amount of cash they are ready to compromise for.

Get out of your stem bubble (Lemmy being one), do some local sport or activity where there is actual social mixing. You will notice the gap between your bubble and people who barely finished highschool. For me the gap is rather having the privilege to be educated to abstraction rather than being smart (~ IQ). Being able to manage abstraction better is often why you are better paid in STEM.

You have a very restricted definition that doesn’t seem to be common. “Social graph” is not mentioned once on the Wikipedia page of “social media”, nor the Britannica, nor the Cambridge dictionary, nor Merriam Webster. While they are not specialized sources, I think they reflect the common usage of words. By those definitions Lemmy seems to be a social media.

Maybe we shouldn’t laugh at it because we still have young women having to go through this kind of revelation after thousands of years of civilization.

The tobacco industry is a good historical example of all the shit world dominating companies do. The most sneaky thing I can remember is that they finance perfectly good research on a lot of causes of cancer, except for tobacco, so researchers were too busy and happy to get some money to work on something, to investigate tobacco. They also have been buying companies that used to finance legitimate research so researchers that depended on them are now forced into a conflict of interest. https://www.bmj.com/content/385/bmj.q1153

Personal anecdote, a young female data scientists left my current department to join Philip Morris, it blows my mind that young educated people would join this industry willingly, I guess it was for the money.

I bet a time will come when it will be worth it, like heated greenhouse tomatoes.

Sure, not just world wide like the USA currently.

For now, once China becomes the dominant power, they will certainly abuse it as much as the USA do.

I was making a joke because it seems AI intervened against the person in independent times, but thank you for your efforts.

You could share sources about this? I don’t know about your biases.

If you say pamplemousse instead, the sneeze will sound fancier.

For a stronger version, don’t buy it this time, just take a picture. If you really want it, then you should be motivated to come again to get it.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ars-technica/ gives a factual reporting score and political bias estimation.

I hope it’s the first proof of general AI consciousness.

As said in the article, in Western Europe you can already use Wero to bypass those and it is spreading in Europe. In France, for the past 40 years, the “CB” network has been available for every basic bank payment card, which is also Independent from the Americans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CB_Bank_Card_Group I think the new initiative will spread, unify and simplify things.

It’s true for software engineering because the salaries in NA are insane due to the insane profits those companies are making. But for the average job, life is better.

Only from free and open source sustenance, he is disgusted by anything else.

That’s possible, I don’t know about the heavy industries. Checked for Toyota, founder was an engineer, second family CEO was also engineer, third was MBA, current CEO is not from the family and is an engineer. In any case, I don’t think having an engineer CEO guarantees anything, aren’t the GAFAM mostly led by engineers but got enshitifified for short term profit anyways?
