Sure, it shouldn’t be their choice by any means, but if they’re going to actually step aside and let actual tax policy take effect rather than lobbying tooth and nail to stop it. Good.
If they’re just paying lip service, as so often they do… well we’re back to the eventual defenestration.
- Comment on 'Millionaires tell me every day that they want a wealth tax' 2 days ago:
If rich people would like to preemptively pay more money in to society to stop societal collapse and their own eventual defenestration… I’ll take it. There will always be imbalances of power, which we need to effectively regulate and not leave the most powerful to regulate for themselves.

The ESA is a mouthpiece for companies that want you to own nothing and do nothing that they don’t approve of and benefit from.

Cool.

I am just going to have to disagree with you, conflating the idea risk with the things you’re associating it is not appropriate in my eyes. But we can leave it there at this point.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
That is still explicitly a risk that they at taking. That risk doesn’t conflate to bravery, innovation, or a good idea. It is still a risk they take because either their new service flops and they write it off, or their new service makes crazy amounts of money.

Tell that to every publisher constantly flipping a coin on Live Services that are expensive, risky, likely to fail/underperform… but could make them oodles of revenue.

As ever, even if they make acceptable profit… they’ll never make obscene profit. So betting on a high risk, extremely high reward product will always been more attractive.

My friend’s dog was traumatised because his wife opened a moisturiser tube too loudly. Watch any dog for any extended period of time and then armchair diagnose its trauma.

Responsible dog owners remember to switch off their tesla coils.

This is the dumbest imagined controversy.

I don’t particular agree with their conflict of interest comment on the quote, no. I guess it could be said that interviewing individuals that you have a personal relationship with could be a conflict around expectations of unbiased article writing, but this isn’t exactly the New York Times.

Not so much a conflict, but “my friend says his software is amazing” comes of as something of a fluff piece.
I imagine he would, yep.

They’ll release some photos, then admit that the photos were just photoshopped propaganda, then everyone will move on without comment.

- Comment on UK is ‘unwelcoming’ and ‘racist’ for overseas NHS health workers, warns top doctor 6 months ago:
As per design, the UK is now undesirable for people to come to or stay in. We are putting enough dog shit on our own front lawn to stop people approaching the house. Got 'em.

I don’t fundamentally have a problem with this personally, but it’s one more nail in the coffin full of nails that is the labour party. Their timing is impeccable, as ever.
Obesity is destroying the NHS, and not for the sake of your freedom but for the sake of keeping people addicted to product.

Holy shit, that is a lot of debt… EA is going to be absolutely gutted. I imagine the ones gutting it will be paid generously for the trouble though.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 9 months ago:
Most AI companies will die quite dramatically, but the big players will weather the storm and soak up all the rewards that come from monopolising on such technology. The ultimate product can turn to slop if you’re the only game in town.

No one will ever stop chasing AI. It’s the holy grail of corporate efficiency, just you… your shareholders… and some unpaid robot slaves. The dream.
