Yeah, there's no person or group of people on this planet I would trust to equitably distribute resources like food and water, or decide what medical services count as needs for me or my family.

Uh huh, uh huh, and what about obsessiveness?

Oh yes, this is a good point, make the work visas more available, then everything can be properly documented.

Another idea would be requiring independent contractors to carry their own insurance and provide documentation for it in order to be employed by a company. That way they have life and health benefit coverage, and we don't necessarily have to get rid of the independent contractor category for this type of work.

Then we just have to push the companies to pay higher wages in order to cover the workers' extra cost... which could be done by increasing minimum wage for all work.

Nvidia is worth so much because they're selling shovels during a gold rush. It's probably overvalued, but every VC is throwing money at AI projects right now and they're all buying hardware from Nvidia.

What does that have to do with censorship?

So where I live (US) we have carpool lanes - not on the highway, but on regular commuter roads, city blocks, mostly commercial but also some residential areas. These appear on the right-hand lane. You know, the turning lane, where other vehicles are turning onto the road, or turning off of it, where there are intersections and entries for parking lots and driveways and such.

These lanes make no sense whatsoever. I can't even imagine the logic behind how they were designed. There's no benefit to being a carpool driving in this lane, because you will always be slowed down by other vehicles turning onto the road or off of it, so there's no incentive to carpool. There's no way to enforce these carpool lanes because anyone stopped by a police officer could just claim that they were going to turn at the next intersection, so ticketing non-carpool drivers is impractical.

I can only assume that this was an idea that sounded good on paper to somebody, but was never reviewed by anyone who had actually driven on a road in their life. I understand the logic behind carpool lanes on the highway (in theory, though they're not particularly effective in practice), but I can't understand these, or why they've continued to exist for more than a year.

The tech bros are selling, but it's the VCs that are fueling this whole thing. They're grasping for the next big thing. Mostly they don't care if any of it actually works, as long as they can pump share value and then sell before it collapses.

"It looks like you're trying to write vulnerable code!"
"Do you want help?"

Aha, Snopes rates it as "True", therefore nobody wants to work anymore!

"Internet shopping is just a fad!"

Selling specific, verifiable biometric identification information to governments and other organizations interested in identifying and tracking individuals, more reliable than fingerprinting. "Buy our eye scanner and be able to instantly identify any person you have in custody!"

It's about control, it's about power, it's about police state.
