Hmmm… my impression was that Google is an ad company, wasn’t aware they did anything but collect data for ads and deliver ads, I’m curious to hear what you work on that isn’t “ads”

Right, because famously, politicians are totally selfless and never do anything self-serving.

Even that wasn’t the first time introducing efficiency had the opposite intended effect: the cotton gin was invented to reduce the reliance on slavery, it of course famously had the opposite effect, increasing demand for slavery as cotton b

It's funny, I used to work in the US for a germany company that had a similar process for many things, IT forms were pdfs that needed to be printed and hand signed, if you used an older version the form was rejected and you needed to f

I’m curious to know what a gsheet/doc/slide file actually is under the hood. I as the user am only ever presented with a link, there’s no way to download a gsheet in its native format.

And of course the politicians responsible for this horrendous policy will not be held responsible, they will be given a free pass by the media who will point to some boogeyman and then blame climate change.

your bigotry doesn't do your argument any favors. of course there isn't really an argument here, just hate.

It’s truly shocking how misinformed you are about foreign policy. Israel attempted to maintain some level of neutrality wrt Russia bec when they show preferences, Russia punishes the local Jewish population… which they promptly did as soon

When people talk about the cost of f35s they’re often including the amortized cost of the whole project. Most that money has already been spent.

Any politician who attempted something like that would immediately find themselves on the wrong side of the table with various three letter agencies. You’re incredibly naive if you think Israel or really anyone else is responsible for this.

You seem to think the NSO is some rogue org within Israel. Couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s simply a plausible deniability org that works for everyone, and counts every single US intelligence agency among its clients. The fact that

Fun fact: I worked in the office building where they filmed the CDC scenes (spoiler: it’s not and never was the CDCs real office), was kinda cool to walk the halls and enter the clean room they used.

Looking at total executive orders is misleading (and dishonest), EO’s historically were often used for very inconsequential things, like declaring some nation a friend or thanking someone for something. Without looking at the actual order i

Yea this appears to be the easiest way to do it, turn off autopay, let your account go into default for a day or two, they’ll use the credit, then if your bill is higher than $50, just pay it off and turn autopay back on.

You must live in a very remote area to still support that. Not to mention to still have a landline, no one I know in my area will even give out a POTS line, you can only get VOIP and most households don’t have that anymore either, aside fro
