step 1) repair car (properly. yes it’s stupid. it is what it is at this point) step 2) get rid of car step 3) buy a car from a respectable brand that will do the right thing when it comes to repairs

can you trade stuff when you are subject to an embargo?
153.
by rantwasp 5y ago
it’s a good idea. depending on how “smart” it is it can be extremely hard to pull off

my point is that you no longer have “classic” sysadmins and a lot of work is already done automatically by machines
155.
by rantwasp 5y ago
the question is: would you be at your desk?
156.
by rantwasp 5y ago
yeah, Amazon is past the stage where they had sysadmins. They now have armies of Operations People with SDEs being the fallback in case a runbook does not cover the current failure

IANAL but this sounds pretty illegal to me. It's illegal even if you do this to one computer. Doing it to all computers in the store without asking?

by rantwasp 5y ago
nah. it's the difference between your phone being intercepted when the police have a warrant and mass surveillance. In no world, no matter how poorly trained this hypothetical apple employee that allegedly gave them permission is, they

by rantwasp 5y ago
yeah no. installing spyware and taking pictures of people without their consent is shady af. also the logic of “oh the apple store has glass windows” therefore i can do this illegal shit is mind boggling

noooo. you think? /s everything tesla seems to be a PR gimmick. between lying for years about the car capabilities, hiding behing the fine print, terrible build quality and really bad service (god help you if you need it) I will probab

beautiful but it’s the other way around. when you look at your kid(s) you realize that you are in fact immortal (your genes not you per se but it’s pretty close).

i think the assumption is fine as long as the individual reaches sexual maturity. Ie: natural selection will favor individuals but past that age all bets are off

by rantwasp 5y ago
yeah no. A machine does not have motivation. It does not have urges and desires. It may solve a problem perfectly buy it’s gonna be a while until they can grok why solving problems is worthwhile to begin with.

it's interesting if you think about it. as a government are you successful when you minimize the number of deaths or when you minimize the debt you incur?

by rantwasp 5y ago
best try was 70 deaths with the government being overthrown in Jan 2021

they sort of are open. your brain is basically a interpreting and predicting the world 24/7. it work by making meaning of what it perceives. a flood of a neurotransmitter basically alters the way the brain works and whatever experience

yup. The Stoned Ape theory.

by rantwasp 5y ago
it’s not really though. The mushrooms evolved independently a neurotransmitter that also just happens to work on humans. Fungi and humans have a common ancestor roughly 450 million years ago. It’s also possible that they evolved this by acc

why is this in wordpress?

IMHO you cannot change the past but you can definitely shape the future. There are very few things that are worth “glorifying” once you go behind the curtain and see/know how the sausage is made

we totally should look at historical events with the current “lens”. That’s the only way preventing us from regressing. Also, slavery is alive and well today. Just because it’s not called slavery does not make it okay. We are still killing

could the money spent keeping alive be better used elsewhere?

by rantwasp 5y ago
better buy until the price comes… crashing down

10000 people and 30000 animals in the first 100 days. I would guess that millions of lives were lost there.

i don’t think that the takeaway is that “killing rocks”, but I do think the focus should be on preservation not on commercially exploiting it into the ground

as someone who actually visited the Colosseum: I’m not sure we should glorify a place like this. 10000 people died there during it’s inaugural 100 days. it’s barbaric. we should be better than this nowadays. I don’t really care what the gla

I'm sorry but this just does not work. If you are judged by the LPs this will go from "are you embodying these LPs to which one is your weakness". A good boss will coach you on your weaknesses. A bad boss will use this as an

lol. the whole easily reversible (or two way door vs one way door) sounds soooo good in theory. You know what? Everything is reversible. The question is not how reversible it is. The question is how much effort does it take. also, people us

yes but no. technically further discussion could lead to a better outcome. so you’re right here. not right when saying that further discussion would be pointless. usually disagree and commit is used as a forcing factor by higher ups when th
