Btw this is not the same Rolls-Royce that makes cars, in case anyone is confused.
They separated in the 70s

I hope they create a battle pass system like Fortnite, get sweet unlocks as you complete porn quests, unlocking new stars each season. Reach your crank down milestone each season.

Reply to FTC Finalizes Order Requiring Fortnite maker Epic Games to Pay $245 Million for Tricking Users into Making Unwanted Charges by redbellx86
Fortnite alone generates upwards of $5b for Epic per year.
This fine doesn't hurt them, it's just the cost of doing business.

Oh my goodness. I didn’t realize I was speaking with an actual raving lunatic; I hope you’re getting the mental health care you so obviously need.

For years, low interest rates led to an environment where too much capital was pursuing too few opportunities. This is no longer the case.
The startup world has always been subject to boom and bust cycles, and this is a feature not a bug. Tough times force entrepreneurs to get creative and adapt, which in turn helps lead to innovation.
It's no coincidence that, historically, some of the most successful startups get founded during or just after economic downturns.
This article is emblematic of just how fat and lazy "Silicon Valley" has become. SVB's failure will present challenges, but it is also an opportunity.
If people like the author of the article are not up to these challenges, they should just pack it up, go home and let the people who are get to work.

And everyone will gladly take that free year because everyone knew they were being tracked. The whole concept of the store is you walk in, grab what you need, walk about, and get billed later. Literally, the only way that happens is if the store knows exactly who you are, the second you walk in. Everyone in that store knew or should have known their biometric data was being collected.
But Amazon still needs a sign giving notice of collection like everyone else.

They get purchase something without having to talk to someone; that works out well for me.

What what what!?!?
This is a store that tracks your movements and everything you do in the store and identifies what products you grabbed and took with you.
Somehow you were confused that it uses facial recognition as part of its technologies?

Reply to comment by pobody in Former Meta employee says staff were 'hoarded like Pokémon cards' by nastyjman
If you read the article you find out that these employees were diversity hires. Having them on staff makes Meta look like they have a more balanced workforce whether they are contributing or not.
Not a good look at all, Meta.
