Heck, anyone offering insider advice or education in many professions and trades should be worried: medicine, nursing, legal, engineering, aviation, maintenance (automotive, aviation, industrial and many more), physics and more.
Corporate, ad-supported platforms are inherently prone to arbitrary censorship... they always have been and always will be. If you want freedom, viewer/donation-supported distribution not tied to corporate interests is the only way to go. But, you have to get someone to pay or it all comes crashing down.
Rush to provisionally-patent what may or may not exist. Monetize the little green Martians' tech even before meeting them. Good thinking. Even if it doesn't exist, it's still better to gamble on the off chance it does.
I know which is worse: it's not 737 NG's Ducommun's substandard critical structural parts, underpaid subcontractor software engineers in India or Boeing monetizing safety as optional extras... it's the systematic, systemic corruption of safety regulatory protections capture allowed this to happen. Planes didn't fall out of the sky 30 years ago because enforcement entities actually had resources and tried to do their jobs.
The inescapable problem is that all newer planes from Boeing and likely other manufacturers are suspect in uncountably tens of thousands of ways because they cannot be presently assured (without engineering reviews, inspections and documentation) to be fit for passenger travel due to the lackadaisical regulatory climate in which they were developed and manufactured. The 787, 737 NG (-600 and up) and 737 MAX are just the tips of the known problems. And now Boeing wants a folding wing plane too?
Tinfoil attention seeker or big claims/flimsy evidence pleader. There's also a lot of lonely, sad people who say the FBI's watching them and have a file on them... delusions of grandeur.
Spain and the south of France will be bad. And, Spain is already desertifying like crazy and climate models show it's screwed long-term. I would expect climate refugees leaving the Iberian peninsula in greater numbers soon, farmers in Spain are already leaving (I saw a docu by Journeyman Pictures on Spanish olive orchards dying and being abandoned).
Chips are different because it costs more to reverse/reengineer them, but once engineered (or copied) for manufacturing, it's trivial to make more. Software and physical design is more difficult to control.
Apple and Samsung already exploit slave labor indirectly throughout the entire supply chain from sulphur mining, rare earth elements mining in the ocean and final assembly. Depending on China might be a stupid move if it suddenly decides to enact sanctions to harm the US economically... it would be a huge hit domestically but it might be necessary for a pretext to war (if foreign relations policies change).
"Regulations" is a terrible word conflating and FUDing necessary protections with unfair restrictions. Deranged, all-or-nothing libertarians mindlessly cargo-cult refrain "regulations and government are evil becus government" is typical of bombastic, utopian drivel. Laws vary in harm, protection and/or benefit by degrees and by circumstances... nuance FTW. Most of the time, corporate capture of government's policy-making leads to inaction on major issues, corruption, military-industrial-complex self-dealing and capitalist-class-leaning grotesque inequality.
Remember that stable democracies always have the potential become authoritarian dictatorships. History is littered with examples: France, Germany, Japan, Chile, Turkey and to a lesser extent, the authoritarian strongmen who were elected in the US, India, Brazil, Venezuela and many more.
They will have to pull encryption from my cold, dead hands. And I'll strongly consider making a 80% lower legally-unregistered gun if things get any more insane, because stuff is going off a cliff 1930's-style.
Yes. Exactly. I waited for a hour for it to stream to Youtube to skip their bombastic nonsense and Creepy Corporate Joe. They should've tested them down to 8 at the beginning to hold a series of debates every couple of weeks. This debate series was boring and low-signal, hurting civic participation in general.
Yeap. The two part debates had a few great candidates weighed down and split with aspirational and corporate candidates. And the moderators were horrible, neoliberal corporate hack$.
Jimmy Dore, George Galloway, Ro Khanna and Noam Chomsky are some of the only people qualified to interview candidates for POTUS.
Evernote stumbled and failed to execute so many times. The got hacked, had a clunky/yucky UI forever and lost people's notes. Plus, like a meal kit service or taxi app, they didn't have anything that was inherently defensible. That's why they failed.
Yes, this. I'm surprised they're not labeled as scary "socialism" and replaced with public-private "partnerships" with commercial ads, membership fees and overpriced concessions. It seems the public commonwealth is being cannibalized for vampiric exploitation at every opportunity. You can't sit down anywhere, because it's been replaced with a sterile multi-use zoned commercial areas with a Code of Conduct* without buying something. Remember water fountains and public parks? Not anymore.
*I ate at this food truck in Austin that was in a mixed-use commercial area that had a 12 term CoC. These places typically have control-freak power-trip mall (wannabe) cops.
