In the history of descriptions no single person has ever described the RAM drivers of central PA more accurately

Eh, I’ve seen enough content of people immediately putting wheel/tire packages on the CT to say otherwise. I bet before long plenty of factory fresh CTs will fall victim to same choices endorsed by the bro-truck crowd.

They were never intended to be driven...

I’m fully familiar with AWS, so the only case I see here is if Amazon is using client data from that service to feed pricing information back to its retail side.  But I seriously doubt that’s the case since otherwise AWS would never sign a retail or distribution client to its platform.

Given Ms Khan’s track record so far, I’m giving Amazon the benefit of the doubt.

No, but he sure made my life easier. There is zero chance Amazon made prices higher for us. You can check whatever products you regularly buy against retail and other online stores. Amazon is usually cheapest or tied for cheapest. This lawsuit will almost certainly break things because she wants to make a name for

OTC pharmaceuticals are almost always cheaper on Amazon than they are at local pharmacies and it’s not like I’m taking business away from some family business since CVS, Target, Walgreens, and Jewel-Osco already took care of that.

Our tax dollars at work. Leena Khan can fuck off.

Haven’t read the draft, but if there’s spying capabilities that the US was asking for in there, it’s not evident in the reporting in this story – it’s purely talking about auditing and oversight of operations.

No, it’s not. I tried it years ago - it was clunky, cumbersome and a ghost town. I tried it again last year - it was still clunky, still cumbersome, and still a ghost town. Here’s something that may sound weird to some people: most people prefer an easy, user-friendly experience over “FEDERATED NETWORK!!11!1"

Sorry Meta,  but there is already a Twitter killer app, it’s name is Elon Musk.

The law does seem untenable. For example, who determines what is news? Is a link to a Kotaku article news? A blog? A youtuber? What about a reaction piece to a news story on a blog that quotes a large portion of the article? How many words can they quote before it’s just a link to a copy of the news article? How will

“All we’re asking Facebook to do is negotiate fair deals with news outlets when they profit from their work,”

Well, seeing as they are now no longer profiting from news outlets work I see no reason for Facebook to pay them though. :D And how does it mean they’re cutting off Canadians from local news? Newspapers here

What is this wage that we would be uniting under when the person you’re responding to thought the wage was fine, as do I. Its not laborious work and its not skilled work, what means do they have of determining how much of ‘all the money for everyone’ they would give?

$15 per hour isn't minimum wage. It's more than double minimum wage. 

It’s perfectly fair. In some places, $15 an hour is unimaginable wealth. In others it’s not even enough to scrape by.

This is terrible nonsense. Not all jobs are worth high wages. End of story. 

Hmmm... so if Meta pays for links, then wouldn’t they simply favor those that charge the least, or who they feel would draw the most readers?

Honestly, if you’re getting your news from Facebook, the kindest thing they could do is stop letting you do that anymore.
