They greedy af. They've lobbied (bribed?) to keep the corp taxes as low as possible. Then they go Double Irish with Dutch Sandwich and NOT pay the low taxes anyways. If we were to tax them appropriately then it'd be a helluva lot more than 13b imo
This is exciting! Even if its not microbes its a fascinating find & a win for science.
Though I hate how a someone remotely piloting science experiments via a rover on friggin' mars has to worry about how "NASA needs this win". What is the point of humanity if we don't explore our universe! I find it it so frustrating.
Microsoft focused on security at this point is like a builder focusing on building strong foundations now that the house is built on top.
It's a little too late my dudes.
Google often feels like a disorganized company with constantly shifting priorities, and a big reason behind that is the lack of top-down initiatives from the CEO. That means the real driving force behind most projects at Google are mid-level executives who show up with grand plans and then leave—either in disgrace or triumph—when those initial plans run their course.
Makes a lot of sense. There doesn't seem to be a unifying strategy behind anything google does. I also think theres a vicious circle going on here: google has a loyalty problem, which could be solved by long term thinking, usually done by loyal employees, but employees don't stick around long enough.
Its funny how people assume colonization benefitted all Brits equally, and spices, tea (& riches) weren't hoarded by royalty and the gentry.
How the hell do you think the East India Company got so rich? It wasn't by selling it to... shudder ... normal and... wretching... poor people. They can stick to their traditional true British spice, Salt & vinegar! /s
Don't like your first statement, but agree with your second.
Holy shit that's a busy "day one" man. I wonder if he'll be able to do it? Will he be able keep his promises?
I think a lot of memes are missing the main point of how it was caught, the exploit caused a spike in CPU usage for a network call. That made no sense to the ~~guy~~ Messiah who found/reported it. FOSS software's strength is the number of critical eyes looking over each line of code you put out!
Can't wait for the miners to get shafted and this to be worn by a tacky billionaire's third mistress. Yay! /s
To give them benefit of the doubt, maybe they meant that they were trusted to be factual. "We owned the news" could mean most people thought "I trust the WSJ so if they say so it must be true". But now in the age of misinformation, no one can be trusted.
But all this was said at Davos, the literal comic con for billionaire assholes. Its more likely they were talking about a news monopoly, facts be damned.
Dammit! I wish there were a news owner who could tell me what to think! /s
Damn right. Breaking Bad never made me, a grown man, cry uncontrollably. 9.6/10
Fixed & noted. Thanks!
