Sounds like a bunch of excuses you’re making up for him. He’s a billionaire, he’s intelligent, and if he didn’t properly plan for his charitable giving at death it’s on purpose. He could have hired a hundred people to scour the planet for t

I got burnt out at my last job working hard for them and my reward was being laid off and the whole team replaced. Fuck the rat race, we’re all killings ourselves and giving our lives so the rich can get richer.

I can tell you, even a massive corporation that makes medical devices definitely does NOT choose their suppliers just by quality, a LOT of the suppliers we used were thanks to "people who know people", such as the painter that suc

Can you expand on this? The cost of a Costco membership is $65 per year (really half that if you can share the 2 membership cards you get between two families), available to everyone, and the prices they have there are so good that even my

Pulling back from that foundation, sure, but starting his own org from scratch with no experience, and puts his 3 weird kids in charge? That's ludicrous.

Alternatively, 50% of that money that used to go into a local company is now going overseas to a foreigner. I guess it’s a matter of perspective, is it worth killing a particular local company or industry in order to get faster cheaper inte

I guess he was just buying time and goodwill from the masses with his announcements. What a disappointment. I guess the wealthy really did win the class war.

Call a lawyer, there has to be some who specialize in educational rights violations. I can’t believe the state of education in this country that your own university would harm your life in such a way for an honesty effort to improve things.

No, it’s well known that hosting your own stuff usually isn’t as reliable. Unless you’re a professional at hosting servers, it’s probably less safe and less reliable than the paid service. Hosting a server for years and years is hard!

How often does Bitwarden go down? I’ve been paying for it for years and years, but I can’t recall it having enough issues to risk self hosting and messing up the configs myself. I’m certainly less reliable as an admin than they are, my comp

Nearly anyone who you ask will say you should count someone who has no income and can’t find a job as unemployed for the numbers, otherwise type ignoring problems. What if you have 10% of your population that can’t find a job and gives up t

Yea and? The government isn’t the people, they want things to look as rosy as possible, every one of them. The people’s definition for unemployment is you’d want to work but you can’t find a job. Your definition is just appealing to authori

The government’s definition is designed to make things look nice, not gauge the actual level of unemployment. If you’re not looking for work because you gave up trying, you’re not counted even though you’re unemployed. Retired or disabled i

Why? Something like 20-25% of people have mental health issues. Seems like someone should be thinking about the impact of their product here, rather than blaming the victims.

The comment I was replying to was stating that source code was necessary to solve privacy, I just said you’d need to get down to silicon if you’re going that far. Don’t be rude. I’m unemployed right now.

So throw it in a gallon ziplock inside some rope and stuff and toss into a tree. In any case, a drone has about 15-30 min of loitering time while a radio-in-a-bag has potentially weeks or even months. I know which I would choose for spying

You had better build your own silicon chips and phone hardware as well in that case.

Tossing a battery-powered radio in a gallon ziplock into the woods outside the chainlink for the base also works, and would have more loitering capability than a drone.

It has wheels like a truck, a seat for the driver, a steering wheel, and two pedals, but a go-kart is much different from a truck. Similarly, a "neural network" for an LLM is much different from the human brain and nervous system,

My extended family has money and I expect they’ll have to pay for my family for a few years until I can reskill as a carpenter. I don’t expect to be doing software again in the future, I’m fairly mediocre at coding.
