If there are ANY people the right wing wants to help, it's rich people and grifters, and "long term" to them is like 3 months. Sorry, but the current admin IS "just bad" and DOES want to harm people - see ICE.

So wait - after a respiratory virus, let's call it SARS-C, that killed > 10% (25/200 = 12.5%) of their population, they split into two major groups that are now at each other's throats, when before they had a generally-ok

How are those "conservative opinions"? Are you saying the whole thing was right-wing fan-fiction?

As a born German, now more native English speaker (left at 8), I agree. But, unless I'm very wrong, uns/unser in modern German is not restricted to 2 people either - it can mean 2 or more, as in "unsere Gemeinde" (our ch

Please tell me those companies so I can find alternatives. I'm using AI every day and there's no way I would trust it do that.

When I was unemployed, looking for a job, living off severance, someone from my previous job contacted me to do some consulting work "for a friend". Initial terms were for some kind of stock in the company. It seemed shady from th

I've been part of 2 startups, 2000 and 2005. In both cases, taking the "more salary and less stock" option worked out to my advantage.

Compuserve was NOT the internet. Compuserve / Prodigy / GEnie were early versions of Facebook. They also inter-operated (email) for some period of time. IIRC.

Honestly, I still prefer webboards, the closest thing to a BBS, for specific topics like specific car brands/models. WAY better signal-to-noise ratio. Alas, for my car model, all the recent stuff has moved to Fbook. FML.

I remember a time before ads. I remember the first time I got "spam" email - email not directly addressed to me that ended up in my inbox. I was very confused for some time about why this email was sent to me.

After getting laid off at age 52 (2nd time, 1st time day after my 50th birthday, took an inter-company transfer), and searching for a year, applying to maybe 5-10 companies a week, I got my current job (2 years+) through a random LinkedIn b

I'm in neither camp. I write code to make our product work, which we can then sell as a unit to the end user. If I do a bad job, I get a bunch of bug reports, I get called out for writing bugs, etc. We've been pushed to use AI, an

Oracle was the ONLY game in town if you were serious. It was like buying IBM in the 80s. Source: programmed PL/SQL and embedded SQL at the Toronto Stock Exchange in the early 90s, on SCO Unix and Oracle.

As someone who has been buying computers for 40+ years, including the 1st gen 3dfx card, etc, this is where I NOPE out of the next upgrade cycle. I am not renting hardware. It's bad enough ISPs are renting modems.

They don't run the software I want to run (Linux, Windows games) and/or with the performance I want. Raspberry Pi is way cheaper than those things, and I'm sure you could hook one up with an all-day battery for $100-200.. Doe

It's more: you want to go to location A? Sure, but we're going to make a quick stop at locations B, C and D first, and the only available car is a known-to-be-dangerous self-driving robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedals.

Seems more likely this falls under the replication crisis umbrella. My wife's favorite numbers are my birthday (mm-dd), which is a small reason she fell in love with me. Neither of those numbers are related to her birthday. My favorite

Agreed - just like the Fortune article talking about (Edit: Morgan Stanley, not GS) saying "the AI revolution is coming next year, and will decimate tons of industries, and no one is ready for it". They quote Altman and Musk. Gee
