A forced sale guarantees ByteDance gets a fire sale price. If there’s any way forward that allows them to sell not-under-duress, there’s a chance for far more upside.
That works even for pure economics game theory, aside from wanting to continue in what they built on principle/commitment/interest in the project.
Would Zuck give up Facebook for the right price? Would he give it up for a highly discounted price of a rush sale?
I wish I could get into the accessorizing. I bought studded bracelets and got a rash :(
I wonder if that’s a limit of storytelling. Grand social change is hard to film. Even team effort cohesion requires a lot of actors and writing to pull off.
No matter how sound the morals and story, if it’s not entertaining, it might fail as mass media.
Para screamar en Español, oprima dos.
I think those are Hungarian banknotes.
I didn’t. It just looks like the fair number of Cisco (and the occasional Dell) 10/100/sometimes Gigabit switches I’ve seen in junk shops.
I bought a nifty blue Netgear 24-port one mostly because I’m more willing to buy junk from the Humane Society shop, but then decided it was too loud (40mm fans) and went to 2.5G (with smaller fanless switches) instead.
Old Cisco gear shows up in the thrift shops here. I think you can’t even give 10/100 kit away.
Yeah. They don’t tell you at all what to do with the 3rd sword.
The mafia has infested law enforcement too.
I accidentally took the wrong streetcar when visiting San Francisco and ended up in the Castro.
They put a boot on my gender and had it towed. Apparently I have to pay $450 plus $85 per day storage to get it out of impound. I said “forget it” and they crushed it into a cube.
Once you get to 50k people, you have to set up Harbour Goth, and at 100k, Airport Goth.
I can see the former with merman/maid themes, but not sure how to implement the latter-- black fishnet pilot iniforms?
I wonder now about the social norms of the “default” versions of things in replicators.
Would you go on one ship and “soft drink” is Pepsi and another Coke, like venues today? How is it negotiated?
Or do you spend your life building and refining a profile? How is that carried around?
There are some recent $1 notes where the same serial was issued twice.

I’m sort of intrigued how they got the startup funding.
You’re building a retail business around a meme. Even in the best possible case, you have a couple years of relevance to pay down the debt.
It’s brick-and-mortar, with real inventory, not like just online drop-shipping stuff silkscreened on demand, so the overhead is pretty high.
If a bank financed any of this nonsense, I want to know so we can send the FDIC Shock Troops in to find out what other stupid shit they’re doing with depositor money.
There seems to be a size heirarchy to it.
Supermarkets become either a gym or a Goodwill.
Mid-size businesses become Spirit Halloween.
Small businesses just get replaced with “hobby” businesses where it’s obviously someone with money cosplaying as a storekeeper selling scrapbooking suppkies or country decor items.
I’m waiting for rackmount snacks. Tubes of Pringles lined up in a neat 2U enclosure, and redundant arrays of chocolates.
It makes shopping for laptops either super-easy or super-hard.
I can either get a Thinkpad, or try to find the one or two HP and Dell business laptops with one… and we all know how it ends (looks at stack of X230t, E585, and new L13)
Of course! I had always heard the issue was low water levels, but you can clearly see the reactor has not enough R and too much B. G levels look all right.
Damn Polychrome Sync never works right.
Aside from a few skins, there are no cosmetic options-- getting to Level 90, your characters look exactly the same as Level 1. I wonder if that causes the designers to lean ornate-- since they don’t tease the Solid Iridescent Mithril Armour with RGB later, they have to pick something sparkly to please the audience that doesn’t want plain uniforms.
Not even a picture of Itto? You’re not trying.
The keyboard has 4 keys to the right of the space bar, so it’s probably a PC-style keyboard with “Windows keys”. But the Mac is old enough it would be ADB only. There’s no way that’s working without a spendy adaptor.
Unacceptable. Beat the props guy with a Model F.
