Ah but the C€ don’t require you to manufacture some or all parts in the country though, or to pay a fee for the courtesy of dodging the law


There’s better ways to do it then, EU don’t have that problem for example, and we buy plenty from China.
We just have safety and security standards enshrined into law, and don’t deal with anyone that doesn’t agree to follow them.
It’s why some products have the C€ symbol on them, which is “this has been imported, and meets all legal requirement”, and all shops are not allowed to sell anything without that cert if imported.
(Though this don’t apply to direct-to-consumer delivery from other nations, so it’s not bulletproof)


Sounds like it’s just a modern version of Indulgences to me.

The excuse that it’s for security reasons just immediately falls apart when you get to this part of the article:
The notice from the FCC states that companies can apply for conditional approval for new products from the Department of War or the Department of Homeland Security. However, that requires the businesses to provide a plan for shifting at least some of their manufacturing to the US in order to receive that conditional approval.
So it’s fine to supposedly threaten national security if you do some more manufacturing in the US? Uh-huh. How does that balance out exactly?


Nothing ever happens though, so he’ll just take a loan and still be just as wealthy as he already was

Can’t tell if a AI slop article, or just really bad writing


Bring Back the Clay Tablet— They’re a love language. And a reminder of the hope we once had.


Sounds to me like you’re willing to give up liberties in exchange for comforts, that’s always a bad idea


It’s possible to be in a union at any level as long as you don’t own the company
My manager though is only Team Level in a big fucking hydra, he’s got like 8 levels above that
Edit: well, there’s some unions that even let owners in, but less of them, and usually limit it to “only if the company has less than 500 employees and earns less than AMOUNT” (I dunno the number)


OpenScience is a thing, it’s been around for like 30 years


Scientific research doesn’t need a reason, that’s why.
Coming up with reasons is the job of other people, scientific research is about seeing what’s possible, what’s not, and how difficult it is.


That’s not true, you can still join a union, and you can always make a choice to disagree with your overlords
I’ll have to tell my manager that he’s going to have to leave the Tech Workers Union, damn, and he was enjoying being a member so much.


TL;DR - sponsored article disguising as an opinion piece, mentions briefly the many many problems with it, but ends with “I trust my corporate overlords to never use my data for evil”


We all know that undocumented equals doesn’t exist! That’s how the world works!
