It doesn't work that way -- it's not an open DB endpoint with misconfigured permissions, or something like that. Up here there is a custom of sharing essentially a dump of the elector's table with every political party in the

...but it's not the livery that Apple actually used at the time? Near as I can honestly tell, anyway. Also. Personally, I don't think the cars look great in white.

I recall mostly greige from that period, changing slightly in hue between the Apple IIe and (say) the Quadra line. Citation needed

Got down voted here but I was being serious. That greige colour of early Apple was part of the branding that made room for the colourful logo . These race cars break design rules and look worse for it.

Weird. I used to be an academic and hiring was wildly formal. Sorry to hear medicine fell to vibes.

It's not a 'greige' (grey-beige) paint job tho so it doesn't look very good. The rainbow apple logo needs the greige to foreground its vibrancy. White is too loud, and drowns out the pop.

You would be surprised at the process in other industries. What you are describing is the tech job market specifically. Other fields have their own problems, including credentialism and ballooning concomitant student loans, but do, by stric

Sometimes it takes any writer some time to tease out what's bothering them. Motivations are like navels, everyone has one, and often they are obscure and strange, even to the motivated.

I read that and I found it unconvincing. KP is correct that EZ is, by now, emotionally and perhaps ideologically fixated on AI's approaching reckoning, but that's KP psychologizing about Ed's inner states, which is neither fr

I don't quite understand this -- the article is not written by a Zitron supporter or ally. I think it's a best practice in several fields to interact with the texts of other thinkers and kick the tires. Perhaps a slower, more nuan

It is both true that there has been an OSR revival, and that D&D is more popular than ever -- just with a much broader and culturally normative audience. Also: Yes, Hasbro did some shit, but they also had to relent and CC their SRD. T

Actually, you can't make a great product if you've alienated your allies, because all successes are intrinsically social, from the iPhone to Python to even the processor itself. Going it alone is that nineties libertarian romantic

Back a step. You presuppose the possibility of a point, but is there still such a possibility? This seems like a weird, almost metaphysical question, but I've been coming back to it a lot lately. Is the goal financial independence? If

Oh I am so excited to see what happens to you next from this. But you'll never connect the dots. It will be "just" a layoff, "just" higher prices for everything, "just" a mortgage of 10% and stagflation ev

Pipelines take years, even decades, at least here in Canada. You'd be surprised at how many billions of dollars and person-years of labour you need to get the thing turned on. Five years at 2mil per ship will make Iran rich.

An understandable reaction, but, qua philosopher, it brings me no joy to inform you that most of the things we did with a computer in 2020 are 'anthropomorphized', which is to say, skeumorphic, where the 'skeu' is human

Your new profession will be attempting to find enough gig work to eat. You will also be competing with self-driving taxis, so there's that as well.
