14 hours agoThe share price might change, as that’s largely based on feelings instead of facts. Sure they didn’t sell as well, but they presented numbers that look better (even if they aren’t) so line go up.

As a shareholder, you are financially incentivised to not question narratives the company presents if they supposedly present the company in a good light.
Suppose you do ask, the narrative unravels and the share price tanks. Congrats, you’ve just lost a buttload of money. Why would you do that?
No, best option is to applaud loudly, tout it in the press and watch useful idiots buy your shares at inflated prices.
The people who do ask the questions are the people the company doesn’t feel obliged to answer.
When the battery dies, the glasses continue to function as a traditional pair of single-vision specs, ensuring the wearer is never left in the dark or have safety compromised such as when driving or operating machinery.
In my head this works quite well as an animated short film.
Entra is derived from the Latin intrare, meaning “to enter”, which makes sense for access management/id verification software tbh.

Was he a butcher?
Microsoft doesn’t earn more than 90% of their revenue from gaming, so it’s not on here.
9·21 days agoThe main reason for a store to sign up on a website would be:
- Advertising
- Centralised shipping
- Centralised handling of payments (and note, this one is especially hard due to laws surrounding KYC and complexities in handling different payment methods)
The Fediverse, being decentralised, has a hard time implementing the latter two. The first is basically not much different than being discoverable on Google.
So fun as it sounds, it won’t be easy to implement. You’d likely have to have independent “shippers” and PSPs sign up to this, and somehow have webshops choose which to use. And that’s a very awkward structure for a Fediverse-minded solution.

2·22 days agoWell yeah, we haven’t really been in the business of freezing hamsters regularly since they end up braindead pretty quickly.
That’s literally not how it works.
Propofol slows down your brain and changes several “rhythms”, but your brain activity does not cease at any point. To your conscious self it may appear as if you’ve “paused”, but this is absolutely not the case.
Hamsters and small animals can be partially frozen and unfrozen. Once fully frozen (or close to it) they can no longer be revived. Once brain cells die, they cannot be revived.
His study showed that every animal in which 15% or less of the body water had been frozen recovered completely. Two-thirds of those in which 15 to 40%, and one-third of those in which 40 to 50% of the water had been frozen were fully resuscitated and survived long periods.
Hamsters in which 55 to 70% of the water had been frozen subsequently recovered heart beats and breathing but not consciousness, whereas when 76% of the body water had been in the form of ice resumption of heart beat was the only sign of life.
With such “revivals” they weren’t fully dead yet. They would be, if nobody intervened.
Human bodies are irrecoverable once life fully ceases. Before that happens revival is still possible. Afterwards, it isn’t.
There also have not been any revivals after brain activity stops. Once neurons stop firing (which happens on cell death), no revival is possible anymore. At that point, death is permanent.
Your brain doesn’t stop working when you sleep or are under. Your physiology keeps going.
Killing and freezing a person kills them. You can’t revive someone after doing that.
We’re unable to do piece-by-piece replacements of the brain(stem) so not much to argue about there. But if we could, it’s probably still you since you’re the continuation of your biological processes, which doesn’t get interrupted, just modified.
I’d argue that an instance of life is it’s continued existence. An interruption where it gets fully destroyed means that instance of a life has ended. Once reconstructed, a perfect, indistinguishable copy is created, but it is not the same life.
If you were to create the copy without destroying the original, would you now be in two places at the same time? Or are there two you’s in two different points in space?
Actually for some laws ignorance of the law is a legitimate legal defense. Famously in case of Hillary Clinton’s emails, she couldn’t be charged because they couldn’t prove she knew of the specific statute and that she’d purposefully kept her emails in a separate server. Ignorance of the law saved her there.
Because Microsoft presented numbers that chuds think sound good, so they will want to buy their shares, pushing the share price up. The people who own shares but know the numbers are fud will shut up because idiots are buying their shares at a premium. The people without shares who know better won’t buy shares, which doesn’t affect the price, and Microsoft just replies nothing to their questions.
