He’s so wealthy he could personally go to your neighborhood and “Mansa Musa” your place into inflation. He could just drop $10,000,000 per person to get up and leave whatever square mile surrounding your residence right now.

Assuming avg population density for a city in the US that’s only $2.8billion (~280 ppl/mile in cities). Not even a scratch to his total net worth.

A single person with that much wealth and power doesn’t require any attention to retain it. He’ll keep coming out on top because it’s nearly impossible not to when you reach a large enough number.

A few versions ago they removed the ability to tear a tab out of the IDE to have it open separately.

WTF why? Do XCode devs not use their own product or something???

Stupid woke coral is just trying to interfere with the election season! Of course it happened in Florida, wake up sheeple!

Don’t you think technology should only be available for mass consumption if it’s safer than the existing options?

The AI is just giving you the names from 2077 after GenZ wins the memewars.

“We had authors and artists, but AI is so much more efficient they’re unnecessary.”

LLMs are coming for artistic and creative functions first. Is human creativity and artistry unnecessary?

Historically automation was on rote/repetitive tasks. This is a bit different.

I thought that was functionally a rounding error to his private wealth anyway.

Why does the lion concern himself with the bite of a flea?

Hyper wealthy are also incredibly amoral and willing to purchase/trade in stolen goods. Just look at the art world - where do you think stolen paintings end up?

Wine is even easier - they can drink and dispose of it without anybody being the wiser.

So…in other words…justice delayed is not justice denied? The workers just need to shut up and live with bad contracts - we just need to trust they’ll do the right thing?

The result was:

• Labor got crushed - effectively the government did their negotiating for them. Why pay dues to a union that can’t even strike and can’t even negotiate by itself?

• Railroads made absolute fortunes

• A pittance was doled out since they had so much bad PR due to all the train derailments

Personally, I think it’s hypocritical the government tells two groups with the same criticality to supply chains two different things. For one group, it’s a threat to the nation and our financial survival, so they can’t go on strike. For the other group, silence.

So, Biden and Congress are going to step in again and break this strike like they did with train workers, right? They’re both logistics unions that will (apparently) cripple supply chains if they go on strike.

If they say there’s no legal mechanism for that: they have a template and it already passed constitutional tests - the same teeth the Railroad Labor Act has can just as easily be applied to UPS/FedEx/DHL via a new law.

If Biden and Congress aren’t consistent with their logic on this it just proves how deep in the railroad baron pockets they really are.

*billionaires.

There are millionaires just from buying a house for $150k in the right city in the 90s. Doesn’t make them evil.

Cows can be raped?

Do we send cow rapists to cow jail? If a cow is in a field with a bull, do we arrest the bull pre- or post- mount?
