Not necessarily. But I believe they said that the laptop was hacked.

I think the point is more that when something bad happens in markets it creates fear, which generally leads to downturns (for at least some time).

You can just ban these gambling and marijuana companies that cause harm to people. This article does a good job of summarizing a few, but not all of the reasons https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2026/09/29/...

I used to work in adtech and someone in sales told me that DraftKings and FanDuel did not like being referred to as gambling companies. They always wanted to convince people that it wasn't gambling, even though it's so obvious that's what it is.

You can always just ban things. The families of those who go into financial ruin from gambling would prefer this.

Except your company covers a lot of the cost for your health insurance.

So how would private healthcare happen without employer provided insurance?

They know that there's big enterprises that will have a strong preference to work with another big enterprise instead of relying on a younger company. At least that's why I think they believe they can do this sort of thing and get away with it.

I think this article overestimates how much the average person knows about tech. People know who Musk, Bezos, and Gates are, but hardly anyone outside of tech knows who Collison is. Most don't know much about VC funding either, but they certainly can see when products have become too smart to the point where they get needlessly complicated.

What do you mean? The mayor is part of the government.

I think you might want to take some time to understand what a sampling bias is.

The only thing I would add would be to keep track of the words already found.

New comment by Cyclone_ in "America's Large Homebuilders Shift the Cost of Shoddy Construction to Buyers"

I recently bought a home built by Lennar. The project manager kept telling me up until closing about how great the warranty was. He said that the drywall in the hallway going to the basement was going to be finished. When I reported this to the person who handled the warranty he said that the basement wasn't going to be finished. I reported some issues with the cabinets and he said they wouldn't fix it until the 11 month period since he said other things could break until then. He also tried to discourage me from getting an 11 month inspection. When I moved in the grass was almost a foot long and there was a vole infestation in the backyard due to the grass being long. Whenever someone talks about how there is a warranty I usually chuckle a little. The companies know how much it would cost you to sue them.

To be clear small builders have done things far worse in Minnesota. There's a builder on the South side of the Twin Cities that has left many homes with foundation issues. They're no longer in business. My issues look tiny compared to theirs.

I'm curious how they would even enforce this law. It seems like they would need to require some record keeping that's made available to the government.
