The railroads should be nationalized and new ones built over highways.

It's indirectly "obamacare." If an employer has someone work more then 30hours/week they have to provide them with insurance, in theory obamacare caused employee insurance prices to rise, so they cut hours to employees in response. Probably not a correlation. In any case big employers like walmart/mcdonalds will cut hours to save on benefits.

Efficient High-speed rails are already possible and have been since the 70s, it's not a lack of science that stops them from being a thing, it's a lack of desire from government officials being paid by private interests to do things less efficiently because people are getting paid.

Why is it striking to you that A government funded by billionaires for billionaires is spending public funds on things that will only benefit billionaires?

This is wrong. NASA from the beginning was co-opted by the MIC owned by the original billionaires with a tissue thin veil about civilization advancement. Any discussion about super-sonic flight has already dismissed environmental impact and economic accessibility even if it's ostensibly NASA doing it.

IF there was a supersonic capable flight technology that somehow wasn't reliant on fossil fuels or other externalities and was cheap enough that a minimum wage worker could use them as often as they use the Subway in the top 10 largest cities in the world, then I'd be 100% behind it. But that isn't the case, that is not the intended case, and that will never be the case.

I know what you are talking about, but there have been so many police infiltrators of protests since then, that it's hard to recall the specific instance. It predates george floyd, and I think it was at the protest for Michael Brown when the police left him dying in the street for over an hour before even attempting to render aid, even stopping EMTs from attending him. It was one of the first big BLM protests that I remember.

I just asked for data to support a claim made in an article, and apparently that was crossing the Rubicon for you. I really haven no idea what you are on about.

You are hardcore projecting bro.

There is no data. There are anecdotes about people claiming high read/write errors etc. But I don't see data. A million Hot Saucerman's complaining about their consumer electronics isn't data. Is there a graph aggregating SMART statistics across multiple drives from multiple batches over time? Is there a comparison of those statistics to usage, and generally accepted Industry SSD read/write rates?

Where is it? It certainly wasn't in the articles and it certainly wasn't posted anywhere on Lemmy.

It's a statement of fact. A casual consumer deletes a file, and then thinks that the computer lost their file. You can look at any series of IT complaints and the most common resolution is "user education." So if there is indeed a class-action lawsuit, then during discovery they will need to produce data that shows that these specific drives have some sort of defect or obvious issue that is out of the norm for other drives. I'd like to see that data.

Is there any data that backs up the claims of most likely tech-illiterate consumers?

Unicode was a mistake.
