Get used to it. Culture your independence. Learn how to sit alone in a room by yourself and enjoy your thoughts. Get off the doom scrolling life path and love yourself.

Is it possible to warp politics more?

There's no source code, they copied files back and forth in a completely scientific and repeatable way.

Isn't everything a front for consolidation of resources and power?

It's a good thing we don't have an obese or diabetic president or this would really look like weaponized hypocrisy.

I just assumed we all wanted to leave the "United" States.

Is this a joke? It's like the kind of article about kubernetes that we would have seen 10 years ago. Especially some of the ridiculous claims like you can run every service on your local k8s that you could run in the cloud. No, building managed service equivalents to run locally is not trivial.

Public health officials have the right to go to court and petition for compliance in order to protect the general public.

I think it would be more accurate based on their methodology to say a quarter of American employees who are entitled to a vacation day have not taken a vacation day. This study omits people, like myself as a consultant, that don't get the vacation days awarded. I imagine the true number of Americans working without a vacation day in the past year is much higher.

We're still going to have rolling blackouts because PGE turns the power off.

Almost as useless as docker pulls, and MinIO claims both as vanity metrics.

So does the BBC

They don't consult lawyers. The CEO husband and wife team get really angry and fire off threatening letters, but I've never seen them consult a lawyer before sending a letter like that or accusing a company of violating a license publicly.

It's sad to see a company that built itself using (and yes I purposely choose the word using) the community abandon the community in pursuit of maximal profit.

This is probably cheaper than re-engineering the actual SaaS product to build trust..

AI’s compute and data demands are forcing an inversion of SaaS. The next generation of software will live inside customer VPCs and sovereign clouds.

This blog post explores this architectural shift, compliance pressures, and how frameworks like Terraform and Kubernetes make “Customer-Controlled AI” viable.

What a complete load of crap. You don't have to read this garbage. The first tip off that this is completely useless is that the author has conflated tech bros with technology and tech companies. If you think there's something valuable after that, then by all means feel free to keep reading it.

No, I don't believe this. Every corporate employee I know places the security and privacy of corporate assets as paramount. I can't believe anyone would subvert security controls to make their jobs easier. In case you couldn't tell, that was sarcasm.

TB is one of those diseases that could have been completely eradicated but we just don't care. It's actually rather difficult to spread.

I look forward to next year when fashions in the United States will change as a response to TB running rampant because we've destroyed our public health infrastructure.

It really opened my eyes to the lack of actual interest in reality. The number of people willing to believe what they're told by social media or by the popular kids far exceed those who would try to understand the situation.

It fascinates me that it's become so popular to defend people from reprisals for their own elected government's actions.

I also found it really interesting that over a thousand Israelis were killed, yet the people I work with immediately started saying that any kind of response was totally unfair to the Palestinians. Not a single word of compassion for the Israelis who were killed. But I guess that's not a trending thought.

Reminds me of when I used to work in Newark New Jersey. The cobblestone streets were pried up with crowbars and the cobblestones were sold. The old buildings had all of the plumbing ripped out so it could be sold. The new buildings had all of the wires ripped out so it could be sold.

Me and the other nerds used to send each other notes written in Morse code in high school.

This site is timely. Just the other day I turned on the emergency setting on my flashlight and thought oh that's an interesting pattern. Why would it flash three long then three short then three long? About 30 seconds later I realized that I had forgotten an entire alphabet.

This The problem is not just the rise of fake material, but the collapse of context and the acceptance that truth no longer matters as long as our cravings for colors and noise are satisfied. Contemporary social media content is more often rootless, detached from cultural memory, interpersonal exchange or shared conversation. It arrives fully formed, optimized for attention rather than meaning, producing a kind of semantic sludge, posts that look like language yet say almost nothing.

Yet the author concludes that this isn't what we want. I think it is actually what the average person wants. They're not thinking, why should they have to think. They read half a headline and share the article as if it's truth. If this is what social media users are asking for and it's actually mind-bogglingly easy to monetize, that's what we're going to get.

It's like it would just be the end of the world if one American had to think about another American's life. Very disappointing, but then again I guess getting rid of vaccines will be all the rage until the backlash and then it'll be 20 years of we need vaccines and then it'll be 20 years of no vaccines and then... Because we just can't learn anything.

I'm pretty sure that this combined with the announcement that in the newer pixel you will only get 200 charges before it starts to decrease the utility of your battery, and only 1,000 charges are guaranteed. So now they've got a platform where you can't install the apps you want and it has a definite end of life. Sounds like they don't even want to be in the handset business.

But were you non threatening and likable? In many cases that will be a greater factor than your technical competence.

These comments are hysterical to me. Why yes, every government contract with a company that tries to obscure the truth should be canceled. I don't know what country you live in. We don't do things like that here. You get the government contract because you obscured the truth.

Check out Tensor9. They package cloud apps to run on prem.

Pulling AI workloads out of the cloud is gaining traction. There could be a lot of upside for someone who develops the skills needed to move cloud apps on prem or in a privately controlled cloud.

Interesting article. Nice to see Tufte quoted. I took his class about the visual display of information. It was very informative.
