UnitedHealthcare Value Drops $41.6 Billion in Week After CEO Brian Thompson’s Slaying.
Reply in thread
Why are there networks, health insurance companies, co-payments, payment disputes/ negotiations of prices, and people suffering from not receiving medical care?
Oh yeah, because this way it costs us significantly more and we can think we are doing better than others in life by acquiring a job where we have linked medical coverage too.
The fact that there are "classes" of healthcare is just repulsive.

They were guilty of making coffee to hot years ago. I have no idea how they were sued for 800k off of selling removeden tenders that were still hot.

Biden-Harris Administration Announces $15.5 Billion to Support a Strong and Just Transition to Electric Vehicles, Retooling Existing Plants, and Rehiring Existing Workers
Reply in thread
While I agree with your sentiment, ~2/3rds of it according to the article isn't being given to them but being available in loans. So the article should say $5.5 given away, and $10 billion made avaliable to pay back.

Reddit mods discuss forming a union and suing for back pay
Reply in thread
Being that the message that Spez was trying to give off at times was that developers weren't paying their fair share, I think this gives the a great example of how Reddit essentially doesn't pay their fair share. They aren't creating the content, and they aren't paying the mods to "manage" the content.

Leaked Documents Show OpenAI Has a Very Clear Definition of ‘AGI’
Reply in thread
So if you give a human and a system 10 tasks and the human completes 3 correctly, 5 incorrectly and 3 it failed to complete altogether... And then you give those 10 tasks to the software and it does 9 correctly and 1 it fails to complete, what does that mean. In general I'd say the tasks need to be defined, as I can give very many tasks to people right now that language models can solve that they can't, but language models to me aren't "AGI" in my opinion.

YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to determine election outcomes by changing electoral maps. In most western countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States

The purpose is to have the people of smaller areas represented by an individualized Congress member. So the people in say the backwoods of California, aren't being spoken for by all big city people from LA/San Fran etc. When something is going on in your district, you are supposed to have someone who is empathetic to your cause and familiar to it. Then they bring that to the house and make the argument for you.
Aka, when someone brings up a federal code change proposition that will bankrupt the main source of jobs in your town, your legislature is supposed to go to bat, not fall in line and let your town die. 200 jobs being lost doesn't sound like much to a large city, but in a town of 2,000 people that's game over

Toyota claims battery with range of 745 miles, charges in 10 minutes
Reply in thread
I am not currently buying but I looked at the Hyundai Ioniq? Iconic? Whatever numbers yesterday and from what I saw you could get an AWD ~50k on the road with over 300 miles range and a cost of ~$8-$10 to fill the battery going off prices in the U.S. for electricity.
That is better than what I need for sure and 1/3 the cost of gas, so I have to say the doubts and againsts are getting pretty small here. I think 0-60 was 5.1 seconds (SUV crossover) that's as quick as I want an SUV to accelerate haha

X user “super pissed” that Musk ordered takeover of his @music account
Reply in thread
My only thought (plausable excuse) is that he is possibly sucking up while expressing discontent under the false pretense maybe Musk will pay him losses. Whether he likes him or not, he should know someone thay disagrees with him will not get paid but rather sued for existing.

Other than blue bubbles, why do you use iPhone?
Reply in thread
To be truthful the FCC should have forced apple to move off iMessages. Especially due to them registering numbers which they shouldn't have control over. Friend got a new number recently when they changed providers, the new number of course didn't work for any messages that came from iPhones because it was previously used by an Apple user.
So essentially someone buys a service from Company A. Puts it in their hardware from Company B, yet company C is dictating their ability to recieve messages. The user did this ~June 15th, didnt figure out iPhones weren't able to send her messages to June 20th. So her birthday was June 18th, the same day as fathers day. Most plans almost fell through because her dads iPhone just lies and says the iMessage is read immediately.
There really should just be a class action lawsuit against Apple that requires them to stop hijacking services from users that are not their customers.
Sidenote: Apple's first solution they provide for this is to move your sim card to one of their products to deregister from their services. That is so fucking disgusting to me. Thankfully the site now has a "No longer have your old device option" to de-register from the servoce you never signed up for... on a product you never owned.

Putin Signs Gender Reassignment Ban Into Law

Well that's bullshit.
Also anyone anti-woke is by definition must fall into a category of pro slavery, pro women not being able to vote, anti civil rights, pro totalitarianism.. and the list would go on. Anti-woke would mean asleep and letting the world piss all over you and you never even noticing.
But sure though, hold onto your "programed" terms like woke and ride them into your ignorant rabbit hole.

Please stop following in Apple's footsteps

This is a new thing for them as well. Electronic sims have been around and ultimately eliminate used space and make the phones more sealed against water. The iPhone 14 I believe was the first one launched without a sim card slot.
E-sim cards are supported by Apple, Samsung, Google (pixel), Huawei, Oppo, Motorola, Sony, and likely many others. The idea of getting rid of the physical port is what these users are upset about.

Does the US have zero employee protection laws??

In my experience, most chain restaurants back of house line cooks get paid fairly low. So let's say the highest paid linecook gets 18 an hour. They work 8 hours and make $144 that day before taxes and it is added to their check. Most of the servers in the front of house would make around $150 as well but they worked less hours. (Usually 5-6 hours). They also walk with the tip money at the end of the night. Then they claim what they wish to because the government can't prove how much you made in tips. Many claim they made far less, others claim what they made for other reasons.
It is common to see servers make twice what cooks do. Which creates an atmosphere where front/back of house don't get along all the time either.
