Companies with high morality, do those even exist? Which one of the big tech companies do you expect to work towards benefiting humanity instead of focusing on turning a profit by any means?
I know plenty of small tech companies that really do care about their customers top to bottom.
There's no magic way for anyone to validate that claim because if I named them, nobody would know, there's no way to really know these things anyway. But they exist.
That's the point of having a government for the people by the people.
But when you let billionaires take over that too then the people have zero protections from exploitation.
If they cared they would invest in America paying more taxes, ensuring citizens are educated and capable of leading their companies versus offshoring and even competing with them.
They don't want that and prefer their monopolies instead.
And as an aside, let's deep dive into the kind of person Larry Ellison is. Guy literally bought out an island where he rules as almost-a-king. You can't do shit in Lanai without Larry's say-so, and if you move out of Lanai or you quit/lose your job working for Larry, your only option is to sell your home back to him.
I've never been a fan of Oracle to begin with given my love for open source but after Larry Ellison is out there preaching about a surveillance state America he became a "person I can ignore" to a "person a despise".
The article in question is about what's good for the heart and ultimately, living. Prolonged sitting kills far, far more people than alcohol. Anecdotally speaking, alcohol happens to be a lot more fun than sitting. Pick your poison, I suppose.
Sitting, alone doesn't kill you. The studies that mention that include unhealthy habits coupled with sitting.
Alcohol defenders like you should just embrace the poison and stop trying to compare it to anything else unless that other thing is literally another poison.
Datapoint: I've had/have a really good experience with Blender. Countless opensource resources to fill any gaps in the export pipeline. Not to mention the relatively easy python api that gives you access to all the scene's data.
Blender's Python API, although cleaner and better organized than Maya's, only offers a sliver of Maya's functionality. Maya has a standard maya.cmds API for scripting which works similarly to how Blender's Python API. Maya also has a separate library maya.api.OpenMaya which is a wrapper around its C++ plugin api. Blender doesn't offer anything like this.
Not sure if it's the same in the US, but in Australia women can nick half or more (tends to be 60%) of your stuff (including superannuation) even if you're NOT married through the joys and wonders of a de facto relationship.
I've got a mate going through this exact scenario right now, never married, lived with this woman for two years. She decides she wants to move back to England and sends the lawyers after him for a large slice of his superannuation.
There are personally no advantages to marriage for me.
I can't find an "equal" in real life. I'm very successful play music, draw and research and I can't find a woman that genuinely is interested and excels in these unless it's for some superficial value.
It's like we're biological different.
All well and good, but when the system itself becomes unfair, I just can't get myself to swallow the pill.
Sayonara mofos.
My career, surrogacy or have family in a less misandrist society.
I'm so grateful for AI and always use it to help get stuff done while also documenting the rational it takes to go from point A to B.
Although it has failed many times, I've had ZERO problems backtracking, debugging its thinking, understand what it has done and where it has failed.
We definitely need to bring back courses on "theory of knowledge" and the "Art of problem" solving etc.
