I saw one where the program ran a busy loop on startup to calculate how long it took. Then it used that as an iterations-to-seconds conversion for busy loops between scheduled actions.

Not even "can't afford". They're rolling in money. They merely made the calculation that paying lip service to the problem (and farming their user base for even more data to leverage, count on it) could cost less than future lawsuits.

With what money? They only made $1.3 billion this quarter! Won't anyone think of the shareholders?!

I like this option best, tbh.

Netflix has that warning on every episode, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If they keep it up, I feel like they're rapidly going to hit a generational impasse of nobody picking up even during daytime. I am very reluctant to answer numbers I don't recognize, if it's important they can leave a voice-mail.

Reading the article (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/oct/07/nobel-committee-unable-to-reach-medicine-prize-winner-hiking-off-grid), I feel like the least the committee could do is make an effort to call winners during their daytime hours. 😅 Sounds like too many cases of unexpected calls in the night.

Yes. And measles is so contagious and deadly that the only way to protect those groups is by vaccinating enough other people. This is why measles vaccines have been such a huge focus for the past 50+ years.

And that is also why antivaxxers are directly responsible. Their willful ignorance and self-entitlement exposes these vulnerable groups to harm.

The expectation that a vital public service must be a profitable company is just an ass-backward assumption from the start. What's next, are we going to expect hospitals to become profit centres?
