She’s glorious in the movie, though she does play the part of an extremely high maintenance woman uncannily well…

Like the parent wrote: one “patent” is a miniature vibrator, something like those found in cheap sex toys, the other consists of poaching people working on the frontiers of knowledge, corrupting them to steal such unique ideas for money.

Tell me you’re not so thick

Oef, still kicking the “communism” horse. It’s dead Jim, especially in China it’s dead and buried

Well, we can reduce every human activity to 0 value and take it from there: if there’s no value in understanding there’s no place for humans in the process, we can just go back to worshipping stones and let the AIs burn tokens deluding themselves chasing their hallucinations

Well, doing the most immoral and reprehensible thing on the edge of what’s lawful is a guaranteed “blue ocean” strategy so it’s inevitable that the most sociopathic will take the opportunity

Don’t expect anything to be decided by this cabinet. Springtime elections are pretty certain IMHO

Sure, depends for whom.

“Rules for thee, not for me”

“No one out there is just eating spoons of sugar because of its addictive properties.”

Says who?

Go check how much sugar is dissolved in soda, it’s more that a spoonful and ask yourself why? .

It’s the second of third year in a row that this happens.

At some point it will be the new normal.

Yeah, but go tell that to the judge who’s just about to slap you with a sentence.

Unless you want to fight that all the way up the judicial food chain

Well, that was the whole point of the 2A: effective preparedness.

But gun manufacturers ragebaited this exceptionally effective marketing campaign around their products and here’s where you folks stand

Found the SO mod…

There are other forces besides market prices... regulatory compliance comes to mind..

the [somehow] is pretty clear: exploitative working conditions.

free the "animal spirits"?

Well, they ask for proof such as a valid passport or id card.

Well, until recently Greece was struck by a savage “restructuring” and “reforms” package that left people without pensions or even chemotherapy when in need. I don’t think aircon is the priority for many of them

The delusion of engineers is that finally we have the means to stop compromising on quality to deliver, and fix all the garbage we’ve had to put out rationalizing about “cost-benefit”.

Trouble is management, who has the signature on the bank account which ultimately controls if and when the bailiffs are going to knock down your front door and throw you onto the street.

Management thinks we can now continue putting more, much more, of the same compromised garbage. Cheaper, faster.

Reminds me of a film I saw…

;)

I remember seeing a comic strip about this exact argument but I can’t find it any more

I really like this new HN skin for Reddit

Compute is also a rapidly depreciating asset.

I don’t know but this dude at my son’s school has a 32GB RTX 5090 and it’s worth more than what he paid for; and he did the same trick with the RTX 4090 before that.

Until shortages are the rule, these assets are appreciating

Or locked away in litigation for decades… See what became of the Amiga

Well, at the risk implying intention and thus anthropomorphizing Larry... you know sharks don't eat, they simply consume food, like a fire consumes wood, this is what Larry Ellison advocates for:

"Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on"

The Flair scene? Oh seriously than got me so much vicarious embarrassment, I feel uneasy just at the thought of it.

They even added ansi escape trickery to hide the directive. It’s malicious, whoever did it knows it.

It’s an EIP, called Claim Check.

It’s still free on Windows. Your argument doesn’t have legs to walk on.

Bullshit. Ignorant people (which correlates to poor) don’t think about the long term responsibilities of having children and just fuck unprotected on a Friday night. Oops

Sound like “the beatings will continue until morale improves”
