Overemployment where you hold multiple jobs simultaneously is the far better goal for those who are ambitious and want to make a lot of money these days. Not entrepreneurship. As an overemployed worker, you will work less than an entreprene

On the contrary, corporations are nothing but humans. Thousands of humans working together to achieve human goals. And if what humans mostly want is profit, then corporations will want profit, but occasionally they want other things too. Po

Just because a company’s motivations don’t match what a niche customer wants, doesn’t mean their only motivation is profit. They certainly have other motivations beyond profit, just none that you may care about. Consider the Ford Bronco, wh

I always appreciate the CCP’s twisted sense of symbolism. They chose 6 pieces to symbolize Jack Ma having his arms, legs and head cut off, and this is what remains. Chilling.

Ford already made the decision for you. If you need an AM radio, bring your own. They are about $10 on Amazon. Most people don’t need it. As a bonus, you can take an AM radio with you as opposed to leaving it in your car, so when you have t

A few dollars in manufacturing costs per vehicle easily adds up to millions.

The opposite of user-first development sounds pretty good then. Finally, cars built according to how an automaker wants instead of as a checklist of things to attract as many customer dollars as possible.

I really don’t blame them. The problem is poverty is extremely expensive to deal with. People in poverty barely have anything, and whatever the government does never seems to be enough. It’s like a black hole where money goes to die.

It infuriates me when they bring these fish up to the surface, killing them painfully as the decompress into disgusting blobs.

Pretty cool but I don’t like to tip my hand and prefer to maintain the illusion of an impossibly hard worker.

On paper I don’t seem to take much time off. In reality I take a lot of time off, there’s days where I literally will just report at a standup meeting and then do nothing else, while I go off and do something fun. This is “lite” PTO. I don’

Why are people messing with truckers? Truckers have it very rough right now, they want to drive, just let them work. Without truckers, America grinds to a halt.

This joke is how you separate people who know what they’re talking about from the hopeless optimistic crowd. People who just take that joke as serious clearly haven’t thought through the consequences of using code you don’t completely under

Yes. I’m pretty sure Obama should have to answer for the drone executions he ordered (some which were even American citizens, which seems very illegal).

I had a small session where I went to a nearby village to deal with some bandits who were raiding the town. When I spoke to the leader he made some vague threat, so I told ChatGPT I was going to take out my dagger and slit the guys throat r

But how do you get around restrictions for violent combat? ChatGPT3 always blocked me from actually just killing people off.

IMO the only problem we should be focusing AI on right now is having it figure out how to make more advanced and powerful AI. Alas, this is beyond AI’s potential right now. Humans are still very much needed.

It’s not like an Ivy League, it’s more like joining a frat, but for startups. Except, it used to be more fun, when all companies worked at the same location and you could bump into people in halls and then go do keg stands after work or sle

I have a theory that the declining respect students have for teachers in our modern age can mostly be attributed to the extinction of chalkboards in modern classrooms and the increasing reliance on wimpy whiteboards or even projectors. The

IMO this isn’t really a problem as long as you have good package discovery mechanisms in place. You won’t slurp up some spam package with little reviews and no ratings if you’re paying attention. Look at all the spam email we get yet never

Meh, anyone who’s saving for a house down payment wouldn’t be putting their money into a speculative asset. They knew exactly what they were doing.

If the deposits don’t exist it’s still fine. A lot of people have lost deposits from crypto collapses and they’ve been fine, because currently no one uses crypto for actual working day to day capital (paying bills), it’s all speculative hol

Yea, wide open computer cases exist, but that doesn’t mean the FCC would approve. Since there are no computer components sold with the case, it doesn’t need FCC certification. It is the responsibility of the end user to comply with all loca
