That's the 90s though, right? What about now?

This is cute and funny - but imo it really just points out that social media attracts anger.

What do we dream of now? I've been reading 70s and 80s sci Fi and loving all of the ideas of the future they had. I don't see them today but I don't know what to read.

Hehe - sadly watching this play out at work this very week. The big one I've observed is people who shoot upward in an organization by being obsequious to those above them and brutal to those below.

believe it or not, they make more! they make money off of what the associates and junior partners bill, too. but yes, that figure is what they bill.

Merlin identified a Swainson's hawk for me recently - first I'd ever seen!

My post was ambiguous, sorry. I am saying my understanding is the drug companies are arguing that they literally do not have the ability to not provide the drugs. So no - they cannot decide not to sell the drugs to the govt. They cannot &qu

From what I understand the drug companies are saying 'yes.' they would have no ability to walk away from negotiations.

To answer your question, lawyers of the capacity of the SCOTUS justices could expect to make about 4 million a year.

I liked sword of truth but will admit it got a little darker than I'd have liked.

Why? I never get the hate for Ayn Rand - aside that it's weirdly cool to hate her books so people jump onto that bandwagon. I remember really liking Fountainhead.

This unfortunately falls into the same category in my mind as most advice: "you should ... X." My mind is sick of hearing the things I should do. I know I should be better and fitter and less wasteful but... I'm tired.

Would be really intriguing if it were getting dumber by reading more social media and ai-generated stuff, as is happening to us

I like that idea. A homepage that lists the top 20 stories of the day that are about a document that probably isn't actually linked to. Go to our site (www.readtheactualdocument.com) to see it -- and get served ads. Additive would be s

Sounds like it's about (1) whether they're too sneaky with how they tell consumers that their data will be used for training (2) whether they are creating hallucinated libelous/harmful content about individuals online.

It's a good question. We always hear that it's happening but I never see it happening.

Awesome story. Similar for me but my dad showed me this stuff on purpose, haha.

Did you ever play the Kyrandia games? My God I spent a lot of time with them. Leisure Suit Larry (Sierra) was being played by my older cousin and introduced me for the first time to a lot of new concepts haha.

My experience was: damn, I need to do tons of reading and research and writing. Like a full time job, not just chilling. Which is a bummer. I was hoping I could just chill.

Private companies (Salesforce, snowflake, etc) offer "government cloud" services where they are restricted by law (fedramp and others) from using your data for their own purposes. Do you not believe that is actually happening? I&#

That seems silly to me. Private solutions are almost always going to be better, more secure, cheaper.

Wow that's a pretty interesting story. Intrigued to see how it goes. As a lawyer for a tech co I've always wanted to entertain a situation like this (small market is behaving so absurdly you simply leave it) but it's pretty r

With Temu coming from China to compete with Amazon, and the US regulators going full anti-China recently, I'm really interested to see whether these actions against Amazon get pushback from the top of government, and ultimately get sta

Helpful perspective. As a lawyer who has worked on both sides of class actions, I generally classify these cases in four categories: -Legit cases that describe (or at least ultimately lead to finding) clear and meaningful wrongdoing. There&

Generally agreed but I clicked today because I am interested in what engineers - and real people in my community - think about this topic.
