You'd need to rollback the last 70 years of pensions being replaced by 401k plans and/or limit responsibility to the brokers. If you hire a licensed plumber that ends up flooding your neighbor's place, the plumber is the one getting sued.

It would probably also be good to restructure retirement incentives away from the stock market, but that's not going to happen overnight either.

It's apparently a dorm in Michigan, this room is $1.5k per bed.

$1499 per bed for this room. ($1519 with balcony/patio)

That both seems insane and also I'm sure it's right in line with other student housing.

Have also been out of the loop too but went through the know your meme page.

Pirate Software made a video a year ago criticizing the initiative on a very surface level and has continued to do so in streams. Guy who created/sponsored/however-that-works the initiative posted a counter-argument video talking about what the initiative would actually do. Pirate Software did the ol' Internet Doubledown and in general was kind of an ass and kind of revealed some ignorance. Cue Youtube Drama.

Lifeguards take breaks every ~20 minutes, not just to look down or zone out, to get up and move around. And again, are in an extremely controlled environment looking for a very small number of specific problems.

Elon is making programmers sleep at their desks.

Lifeguards have very short periods of diligence before they take mandatory breaks in an extremely controlled environment. Train conductors operate on grade separated infrastructure. Security Guards do not have to take split second action or die.

Putting a warm body in a mind-numbing situation and requiring split second response to a life or death situation at a random time is a recipe for failure.

Duck Season is pretty fun too FWIW.

Expecting people to be able to behave like machines is generally the attitude that leads to crash investigations.

Incognito mode (Chrome) and Private mode (Safari/Firefox) and InPrivate Browsing (Edge/IE) have had disclaimers/explanations for years, Chrome just expanded the disclaimer after settling the suit. Unfortunately for them the judge didn't know how the internet works any better than the plaintiffs. Winding back the odometer on a car doesn't mean toll roads don't know you drove there, it just means "you" have no record of it.

Opera / Vivaldi offer an integrated VPN, but they're about the only ones other than stuff like the Tor Browser.

Same, been kicking myself since I found out it was all gone a few weeks ago. Don't know why I didn't make a 'just in case' backup / export.

Still infuriating they can just go "oops all gone". It came through the roll-out fine, I remember looking stuff up in February. As far as I can tell it was a later unrelated glitch.

Google also accidentally deleted a random amount of user's timeline data if you didn't immediately catch it and restore from back up last March before the affected backups were overwritten. If you didn't keep a close enough watch on your timeline to know that that happened, everything before ~Feb 2025 is gone now.

Ask me how I know. Yes I kept up on permissions. Yes I had backups on. No I didn't have a new device. I even have dozens of available gigabytes of paid storage on Google One.

I'm sure it will only get more stable due to maps and timeline being revenue generators that encourage investment.

Popularized definitely, he was working off an at the time recent pop history book about Tesla.

Tesla's been the subject of a lot of weird counter-cultural co-opting since his death. Kinda like Che but for electricity instead of marxism.
