FauxPseudo

Came here to say this I know in my heart that it had already been said

They can take my horchata and tamarindo from my cold dead hands.

Now imagine how government will effect that. You know how the government’s been trying to put back doors into hardware? A lot easier to do when you own part of a major chip manufacturer. Do you think having a steady supply of government orders will make them innovate or get lazier? Why is the government proving up a dragging company? Isn’t that picking losers and winners like Republicans had issues with in the Solyndra deal?

Intel failing isn’t a reason for the government to get involved, it’s a reason to stay away.

I really feel like we are talking past each other. I’m talking about people who wanted to privatize the Social Security system and sell off the USPS because they believed any amount of government in any service was dangerous. I’m not being histrionic, I’m asking the people who have spent decades being histrionic to explain why they are suddenly very chill with something that was, until a week ago, a firmly held religious belief.

Don’t mistake my position for that of the people I’m trying to reach.

Then you aren’t my target audience. Canadians are very different from USA Republicans who have a long and loud history on this topic and then flipped in one day to say it’s okay to have a little communism as a treat.

The government holding ownership stakes in companies. If so, have you been in favor for a long time or did it start this week? Because I’m focusing on the people that just recently adopted this position after years of opposition to anything that even smelled like government interfering with business.

Are you in favor of this?

10% for now. Trump always changes his mind. One company for now. Except the 15% tax that exists only on Nvidia. 15% for now. Trump always changes his mind.

Broken record: if Biden or Obama did this the same MAGA people making excuses would be decrying this government overreach. And what happens when Trump isn’t in office anymore? When a Dem embraces and extends this governor power grab?

Not communist except for the government ownership of companies?

Prior to a week ago every conservative was 100% against any form of government corporate ownership. They hated TARP, Solyndra and quantitative easing. They went so far as to want to privatize social security and the post office. Countless hours have been spent justifying all of this and it was baked into their identity that it was all bad in any flavor.

Then, suddenly, Trump is for it and they fall into line without a moment of cognitive dilemma. Cult mentality. They cared about communism before and suddenly they don’t and they haven’t given us a reason. They haven’t admitted their change.

Think long term. What kind of regulatory capture is going to happen? Protected companies stagnate instead of innovate. That 10%? That’s not a cash deal. It’s not revenue for the share holders. It’s basically the value of all the CHIPS deal and other things that Intel was already getting. They literally gave 10% of the company away for free.

And it’s illegal. And it’s communism. It’s everything Republicans hated when the Obama administration gave Solyndra a loan. This is pure corruption and will end badly for everyone.

The stock is up. But that’s not because this is good. It’s up because investors didn’t think this through. Short term profit vs long term fail.

Increase in workflow? Like there are more steps to perform the same task? Because workflow isn’t work volume or units if output. It’s the process that gets the work done.

Did the increase in “workflow” get you more money or more work for the same money?

“Matt and tray so loved America they were willing to burn $1.5 billion to save it.”

Good to know. As my posting history on Lemmy will show I definitely watch bread recipes videos. In fact I became a mod for c/cooking today.

You watch one ContraPoints video about Jordan B Peterson and the next thing you know … Still not any JBP video recommendations. So I guess there is an upside to the failure of big data.

Each day I go to the YouTube app on Roku to my subscriptions tab and watch whatever is new. Then I go to Recommend and it’s 90% or more previous videos from those same subscriptions and very little new creators it hasn’t showed me.

After almost a year of this it figured out last week I might like AronRa, a person I’m very familiar with. And after countless videos on anthropology, evolution and paleontology he should have come up so much sooner. So much for big data.

But what is completely lacking is a “show me completely random stuff, old, new, not in my algorithm, short, long, completely against my algorithm, etc.” it lacks almost any way to discover new stuff that isn’t 100% related to content you already have.

YouTube gets more uploads than any one person can possibly watch and yet it’s almost incapable of showing me something unless I explicitly tell it to find it for me.

Jokes on them. I don’t have phone conversations
