Power just unequivocally screws up most people. This past year has really crystallized how few good leaders there are.

He has proved it over and over and over again.

Or they are taking the gamble that being able to continue to use µBlock outweighs the sale of customer data.

The more I live I’m less concerned about what are often described as “bad actors”. The bad actors are often the state, and this kind of information is collected without thought to the risk of future politicians who don’t follow the rules or who don’t have any respect for the laws.

Airlines are subject to enshittification just as all other things are: • Diminished airline status returns • Increasingly large/overpriced shops/restaurants • More discrete seat/class upgrade costs, worse experience for base fare overall. • Higher security friction • Explosion of travel cards that overload lounges • Increased nationwide traffic so even the drive to the airport is worse • Costs of food purchases on plane (in the 90's any transcontinental flight usually had a free meal).

The only things that have gotten better are wifi and entertainment to act as recompense for less leg room.

Musically, he's done a lot to encourage and surround himself with brilliant younger artists. Jacob Collier had received tutelage and consult from Quincy and Jacob is a Mozart-level mind of our generation.

There are a lot of things related to business expenses that you cannot ask employees to pay for such as first aid kits, desks, chairs…even travel outside a certain range. this is simply to say that perhaps the categorization of transportation could be expanded

I don’t trust any religion and I certainly don’t want anyone who thinks their religious laws outweigh the ones in existence.

Additionally, as someone with very small pupillary distance, none of the existing headsets on the market are applicable to me. At this point I've written off VR entirely as I don't think any company will ever design for someone like me.

Agreed. I also like to think that these aren't necessarily "sin" taxes, but taxes paid up-front for the increased costs to society for the medical/public safety implications that occur from them.

I agree...it would send a message to beach these ships in high-visibility areas

I think there's enough evidence from 2020 that your views aren't cynical, but instead realistic. The feasibility of world-wide coordination should no longer be expected regardless how high the stakes.

Is this a documented sequence of events? Is there a book/resource to read into more details on these types of evens played out?

I don't think "first class" citizens is the right classification. There are certain fields/work that are inherently more risky or serve a critical component of society. We are seeing this exact thing pan out now with medical care--doctors and nurses are precious resources and if we don't protect them, we put our overall societal health at risk. Same is true for judges--if you don't protect them, you put the rule of law at risk which is a way of protecting everyone.

Thanks for the link! Didn't know steam made that kind of analysis public.

But I'd take a closer look at those numbers: in 5 months intel has lost 2.5 points that AMD has gained. Doing some stupid, atrocious math of just taking the average point gain over those 5 months (and not accounting for the fact that my pc enthusiast friends are stating that their next machine will be AMD), that puts November of 2023 that they are 50% market share. That gives Intel very little time to pivot.
