The world may be ending, but for a short while we generated so much value for shareholders!

As someone who works in food service, that sounds like a nightmare, not just to prepare but to bring all of that to the table.

Because it's never going to be good. People seem to have drank the kool aid that LLM's are the same as general AI and that its going to solve every single problem in the world. It's the same thing with the quantum computing and fusion reactor people.

No, it's because the "Undesirables" simply have a skin tone that isn't white.

Same thing happened in Flint Michigan, the lead pipes weren't the issue; They stopped treating the water a certain way and the slight acidity in the water caused (iirc) some sort of calcium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate layer to be washed away until the acidic water started leaching lead into the water.

So... Who cares. No one is going to be around even 10^3 years from now. It doesn't help anyone to know, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Oh no! How dare someone have some fun

See, the issue is a lot of people have stupid names.

Hmm... I hadn't noticed that. Great, even Y Combinator is going the way of the hammer looking for a nail.

> They no longer even have paper sets of encyclopedias

Honest question from someone who has never actually had to use a paper encyclopedia. Do they still print paper encyclopedias?

Wow, this just seems like a terrible idea all around. Just run the individual service you wish to run. Especially mixing in for profit companies, tor nodes, and not for profit services like Folding@Home seems very dangerous.

How about we ditch the AI slop

I wish there could be some sort of "reveal hint" button for each sector or something, similar to how a crossword puzzle has clues (With some sort of 'points' penalty or something for using a hint). I couldn't figure out any of the words on my first attempt. But it seems like a neat game overall.

Works fine with uBlock Origin enabled and only blocked 9 domains

> previous administration's decision to force/coerce people to take the vaccine against their will

I'm glad they did. Because people are idiots and would listen to their social media influencer's tell them that vaccines cause autism then chug down some horse de-wormer.

Well nobody has the phone number 912 for instance. We specifically make sensitive numbers distinct from "regular" numbers. 911, 411, 311, 999, etc.

Obviously this was a huge mistake on Mastercards part, but does anyone else think it's a mistake to even /have/ domains that are literally one letter away from the original TLD's? For instance .com and .co, .net and .ne. It just seems to be asking for trouble. If those didn't exist, they couldn't be registered and the erroneous DNS request would just go nowhere.

So it's a linked list

Or I could just do nothing, it's worked so far. When someone inevitably steals my ID, just use the Shaggy Defense, "It wasn't me"

This has been done with Zelle and people are crying because they're dumb enough to fall victim to obvious scams.

So what are we supposed to do about it? Everyone has known for years that SSN's aren't secure or supposed to be used in the manner that they are. Many have been screaming from the rooftops about it. I can't do anything about it, you can't do anything about it. So may as well laugh about it.

Yup. It was called a sheet of paper back then.

Honestly, who cares at this point? Obviously the intent of the clean air act was to reduce air pollution which obviously includes regulating greenhouse gas emissions. I'm tired of playing the "Well technically..." game while the planet is actively dying.

I think we can compare the leaks of Ed Snowden with the Pentagon Papers leaks of Mike Gravel.

Post 9/11 (And even before) the US government began a widespread campaign against US citizens themselves under the guise of the "War on terror". People became so brainwashed that what we were doing was unequivocally "right" and what the other guys were doing was wrong. And it's continued to the point where the general public now thinks that we're the good guy's no matter what, without questioning authority. At the time the Pentagon Papers were leaked, it was the first time in a long time (In my opinion) that the general populous woke up and saw that we were doing some pretty horrendous things. The 3 letter agencies took this to heart, and learned from it. People haven't been taught to think critically in a long time, and that's on purpose.

I mean, he's not wrong. I'd have loved to have worked there for a year and have made tons of money.

What was it like "volunteering to become a programmer" back in those days? Did you know what you were getting into, or did it just sound better than working in the mail room? Was "Programmer" a well respected job at the time? Were you seen as a sort of magician working on the mainframe? Or the equivalent of a "grease monkey" changing oil in a car?

> Also, if you segment by demographics

You're not allowed to segment this specific data like that, it's racist.

I mean, so what if there is?
