I guess it depends on the sort of media you consume. I’ve seen Destiny saying conservatives need to be afraid of getting shot, and it seems like he’s still alive. The other people who lost jobs seemed to have said much more direct and offen

I’ll believe that when you share the channel :)

I suspect they were looking for an excuse to axe and found one. It was all milquetoast, and that entire format of television is dead and the networks know they need to pivot somewhere.

Yeah exactly. And they embrace that fraud and turn it into a cornerstone of their economy. I too have worked with extremely talented people from the subcontinent and not one was on an H1B. The H1Bs I worked with were less competent than an

Lol white people explaining to Japanese people why they have no race. I would subscribe to your channel.

by djohnston 1y ago
The only way to do that (and preserve H1B) is to entirely disconnect the subcontinent from the application process. Their top companies exist only to scam immigration programs around the world, it is their raison d'être.

Ohhh no, how will we afford our sub-standard DBA cough I mean world class 1% talent?

I've been never to one that sounds like that, but I've only been to a handful of small ones. I would imagine a company crude enough to set it up so close to someone's house isn't doing any sort of noise abatement either.

Wow that video of the house next to the mine in Arkansas is nuts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHrkZtuVPdU&embeds_referring... I would legitimately have driven my car through that building if I lived here.

I understand - I'm asking where you weigh the probability of it having happened based on the available evidence.

by djohnston 1y ago
Want to place a bet to quantify our confidences of whether this happened or not?

Surprise surprise, eh?

100% on the non-dischargeable debt. I appreciate the humanities and their importance, but encouraging kids to take out loans to study them, with no risk to the lender, is obscene.

Good? Encouraging people to go into six-figure debt for a degree with no earning potential is gross and predatory.

Honestly I wouldn’t mind it if the police actually did anything. The UK has American style public services with European tax rates. They have Chinese style surveillance and thought control with LATAM levels of criminality. They constantly s

Most people aren’t critical of either and don’t care about DEI initiatives.

I see she ran the real estate trust there, likely buying up lots of single family homes above asking rate. I wonder if she killed more people than Brian Thompson. Probably not.

Hey now! They use ID verification bub - how are you gonna fake that? It’s not like there are just public buckets of legitimate ID photos taken by real women for you to hoover up. Check mate.

I spent some time reverse engineering bits of WordML for presentation to LLMs. Not a fun time. Things like ordered list formatting ends up having a lot of unspecified behaviour and precedence, and the same doc in gdocs and word will end up

by djohnston 1y ago
Why are you conflating people who use LLMs to work more efficiently with vibe-coding shills? Real engineers only write in assembly right? Lol. It’s giving anxiety.

People say blockchain has no practical applications while living in a system where this level of room-temperature IQ fraud is commonplace.

This is what an effective genocide entails. Blowing people up only turns the children into the next wave of opposition, ala Palestine. Stripping people of their language and cultural identity - that's the ticket.

by djohnston 1y ago
Is the genocide in the room with you right now?

Yep, I saw those videos too. Someone standing less than a meter away from the target walked away unscathed. Extremely precise compared to the stoneage barbarians lobbing rockets from hospitals.

It discriminated quite well. Don't buy your pagers from the same batch as Hezbollah.

No... the pre-determined bias in this story is obviously that all subgroups of people behave identically w.r.t. welfare applications, which the data itself did not support and a momentary consideration of socioeconomics would debunk. When t

Existence, not history. History requires writing.
