Why is PCMag supporting more Twitter usage? It's a poison, a platform for mass manipulation.

Wow you're being down voted hard.

One of the problems with anonymous payments is that they can be used by foreigners with deep pockets, money laundering (which snowballs into much bigger problems), etc. I can understand why they'd push back so hard.

The problem with tracked payments is the loss of privacy and over control. Can understand why they'd push back so hard here too.

One of those issues with no good solutions in sight. Yet. Maybe. You basically have to pick your poison.

I had the impression that people running for office in Mexico were being assassinated a lot, if she is real force for good then I hope she's safe

Imagine China comes out on top over the next few decades and then reach AGI with the CCP mindset.

That would be the enslavement of humanity on a scale never before seen or imagined

Peoples jobs will always be sacrificed to make that quarterly earnings call sound sweet to investors.

Profits above all.

30 years experience running enterprise development teams here. Switching databases has happened once for me, Sql Server to Postgres. We were busy with a huge rewrite of something existing, approx $100 million project for a major company.

The instruction to switch dbs came midway through the project, basically on the whim of the CIO. Luckily we were only lightly impacted by db specific features on a couple procs, but code base was abstracted away - which made it achievable.

People down voting have no sense of humor.

Yup. Shareholders are the problem, who bought shares at price X and want to sell those shares at X+Y.

And they will do anything to get it.

Jesus Christ, can we leave things alone that aren't infinitely growing

That story is horrific, I can't imagine living like that.

When I have a medical emergency (or even if it's just a possibility) then I go straight to the ER. I might have a small administration cost to pay, but it's easy enough to manage that I don't have to give it a second thought.

My job isn't linked to my healthcare, that sounds like insane leverage.
