TL:DW? ACAB

Slightly longer : corpos make money, they dont give a fuck about laws. Cops dont give a fuck about anything.

Longer still : she was stalked/had her face photoshopped onto actual child porn. Gave detailed info about the child porn, including who did it/where they were/etc. Cops did literaly nothing.

Alana Pierce, a games journalist/streamer/writer/etc has a specific responses to this exact question, based on personal experience. Her video on the topic is worth watching.

They arent dead, but they are in the millions of users, not hundreds of millions.

That is enough to sustain a social media platform, but none of them fully have the network effect going for them yet.

With federation, hopefully they won’t need it. That can be the network effect once interoperability is really here. Then everyone can still communicate, but not be beholden to any one service/owner/etc.

Im just messing around man. This does sound like a good case for a basic LLM.

Good point. A really complicated switch statement then.

That wouldn’t even need AI. Thats just a fancy switch statement with a pleasant voice.

5x pay. Independent LLCs have all sorts of expenses, including taxes/marketing/accounting/etc.

ROBO licenses are gone. We saw licensing costs for servers at those sites go up 5x.

We have a few years left on our main clusters licensing, but we are already investigating moving off vmware because we expect more of the same.

Nmap is a “hacker tool” and all it does is ask computers what ports they have open, something they are set to advertise to the world.

This is a “hacker tool” in the sense that it is accessing data in an unintended way, in the same contect as nmap using protocols intended to communicate for a set purpose to built a list of possible attack vectors.

Nah, you have to have actual skills to be an astronaut.

Its a yearly event that collects directors and above fork across the company to a week long “convention” that is supposed to be about building cohesive between leadership.

The author went in 2022, when they had bon jovi play, and said it was just a boozy networking event where leadership was dictated to by the execs with no actual exchange of ideas.

In 2022, Amazon made a record profits, but even then they were admonished to save money. Still, no layoffs.

This year? They also made record profits, but had record layoffs, yet the party goes on.

The authors overall point is that Amazon is successful by asking people to “lean in,” to go the extra mile. When you freeze wages and layoff 10,000s of people while threatening more and still throw your 10 million dollar party for yourself, you are telling good people to not only leave, but to lean right the fuck out before they do.

Of course they will help him with the hope it pans out.

Nah, this is giving cops too much credit. People can have gps coordinates, video of crimes occuring, first and last names of thieves and plently of times cops do literally nothing past filing a report.

First the “whole ass country of energy use to make fake money” that is bitcoin and now this?

Lovely.

Infinite and astronomical are used interchangeably here. Since you have to return a share to the person you borrowed it from, if you borrowed 1000 shares at $5 and sold them to make 5k, if the price jumps to something like $350 like gamestop, it would cost you $350,000 to cover them.

Making 5k to lose 350k might as well be an infinite loss ot that investor, even though its technically a “smallish” sum. At that scale, it would destroy most people.

You can also pay to keep a short going generally and try to wait out the madness, but you have to stay solvent to do it. The very stupid and very surprising “diamond handing” apes caused some hedge fund issues, although I think most just shrugged into other financial instruments.

Ideally it will advance to emulate whats common in the EU : the tax service sends you a “we think you owe this. If correct, please confirm amd youre done. If not, please amend and then youre done.”

This isn’t that proactive yet, but all the bones are there.

The test was limited to make sure the core fundamentals worked. Your situation is an “edge case,” i.e an unlikely situation that makes things much harder to code.

It sounds like they cut you out to make sure the product worked, and will now be on working “edge cases,” by far the hardest part of any computer engineering.

It’s a strange but good idea that im glad is gaining traction.

Cheap and plentiful material, no heat or rot in space, apprently resitant to cracks, burns up on re-entry so no space trash.

Sounds like its got a lot of positives.

The article is about municipal broadband, since the OP wanted to clickbait.

All in the office of course as well!
