Break it, privatize it, squeeze for every penny. That’s their business.
Fast, cheap, good. They’re going for 1 out of 3.
12·8 days agoRules are there to punish bad morality.
Trump and Vance are seen as morally good, so the rules don’t apply as they can do no bad. Things that the Others want, such as DEI, are naturally morally bad and every rule to punish them is fully enforced, and a few new rules are added as needed.
Rule of law and consistency do not apply for them.

Seems like they wanted the web and app version of outlook to work identically. Some things don’t work on the web though, so they decided to cut features on the app until they were the same as web. It’s just such a corporate move.

spoiler
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Then we follow the four-stage strategy.
Bernard Woolley: What’s that?
Sir Richard Wharton: Standard Foreign Office response in a time of crisis. In stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Sir Richard Wharton: In stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there’s nothing we can do.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it’s too late now.
One theory is dreams are you brain doing maintenance on memories. Doing a defrag, cleaning dust, something like that, but we don’t really know for sure. You briefly relive those memories. Another part of the brain sees those flashes of memories and tries to make sense of these, like a narrator that forgot the script at home. And that’s what you experience as a dream. You just had a strong response to this particular memory.
I can’t help but think “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” with this news
Rapid unscheduled disassembly, now available on cars.
“Sorry but I only have video about the construction process. All the cameras I’ve set up got fried when I’ve set this thing off, including the memory cards. It even messed up the magnetic tape in the old school relic we had as a backup. With that out of the way, let’s get into the construction. This episode is sponsored by …”
For cars, you’re gonna need something a bit bigger. Large coil, capacitor bank to generate a static field and some high explosives to disrupt that field to give the pulse. It fries the wires in a car. Single use only.
The finance bros tried that one too. Mortgage-backed security was the magic word. Cut up all the little mortgages, repackage them, and sell for profit. Then it all crashed down in 2008.
but I think vr at this point has become an expensive novelty
Always has been. I went to demonstrations of this tech in the nineties when I was in college. It was going to be the next big thing. That never happened. It seems to come back every few years and then fade out again.
And the other one:
“English is a language that lurks in dark alleys, beats up other languages and rifles through their pockets for spare vocabulary”
15 MW power needed, while a single reactor gives 500 to 1000 MW. The usual nuclear plant and power lines seem more likely.
There are also people putting grapes on pizza. Any feeling about that?
Line in the sand? Going after political opponents. Censoring information. Dismantling media. Abandoning rule of law. Business and government mixing too much.
USA is speed running these.
Or when a truck is moving traffic lights
Yeah, this is a looong way off from a 1G burn all the way.
edit: 4.5 years to pluto is about the equivalent of a 0.001G burn all the way using this to calculate
