I’d argue “canecrete” is too close to “concrete.” Close enough that it might invite trademark/customer confusion complaints from the concrete industry.

For every day use, I use it. It’s convenient.

If I’m traveling or going to a protest, I’ll turn it off. I also make sure I know the ways to disable it.

Hope Florida is run by DeSantis’s wife has been involved in shady dealings.

The meeting marked an attempt by the board to provide clarity as House Republicans probe a $10 million donation that Hope Florida, a charity and welfare program spearheaded by First Lady Casey DeSantis, received from a Medicaid settlement in October. Lawmakers are now investigating whether the foundation funneled those millions to political campaigns against the failed ballot referendum to legalize recreational marijuana.

The foundation’s executive director, Erik Dellenback, announced his resignation a day after legislators grilled the foundation’s leaders about the donation funds during a House budget committee meeting.

The Tampa Bay Times reported that Hope Florida split the $10 million evenly between Secure Florida’s Future and Save Our Society from Drugs — organizations that promptly poured a collective $8.5 million into Keep Florida Clean, a political action committee created to defeat Amendment 3 and run by Gov. Ron DeSantis’ then-chief of staff James Uthmeier.

From the Tampa Bay Times article:

Weeks after the DeSantis administration steered $10 million from a Medicaid settlement to a charity spearheaded by the first lady, the Hope Florida Foundation sent $5 million apiece to two separate organizations that gave millions to a political committee waging an anti-marijuana campaign championed by the governor.

They are not known for their (positive) ethical practices.

This isn’t as forward thinking as you’d want it to be.

For as much as they are abused, “IP laws” protect small and individual inventors, writers, composers, etc.

With no patent, copyright or trademark protections the billionaires will own or bury everything.

What is needed is to bring the laws back to their intended purpose.

Take the job if you need it. You’re not going to change their minds.

Clear your conscience by doing some pro bono work for a gender issues non-profit or small company that is LGBTQ+ friendly/owned—especially if they are a competitor to this company.

Gradually, ween yourself off this company.

You start to wonder, “when am I going to feel like an adult?”

I would only call 3 of those “metal”.

They likely wouldn’t be able to reproduce with dire wolves. Or, at least, their offspring wouldn’t be dire wolves. Since dire wolves went extinct so long ago, it’s impossible to tell how similar or different these facsimiles are or to know if they could reproduce.

They’ll never truly be dire wolves unless the dire wolf genome is sequenced somehow and they edit and breed it closer.

Philosophically, I’d say they will never be dire wolves. Dire wolves are extinct. But, people may continue to create these and call them dire wolves. Then, what a dire wolf is will have changed.

Maybe they watched The Martian and wanted to test the scientific accuracy.

The only thing keeping TSLA’s stock price so high is the perception that it’s a tech company. They’d have to replace Elon with another tech CEO that can spew bullshit about tech advances being right around the corner. That probably will not save it as a car company.

I’d rather see the company fail before Elon and other majority share holders can cash out.

It’s a measure of how much energy you can uselessly burn with other people’s money.

I’d like to see organization focused instances. Like a local government that runs an instance and moderates it. NGOs, clubs, sport leagues, etc. could do it.

It might become a nightmare of overlapping content, hierarchies and responsibilities, though.

It’s traditional in open source to have really terrible names.

Sounds like single sign-on (SSO). Which is practically everywhere these days.

They don’t say where they get these numbers other than “two people” cited in a paywalled article.

Apple One has over 1 billion subscribers. I’m sure they can afford a loss leader like that.

The only way to know if this true is if Apple says so or they just stop producing content.

It’s a fancy name for Burma.

Coups are national pastime.

They have a racism problem about as bad as any country on Earth.

The food is fantastic but not as good as Thai cuisine.
