They literally hire people just to make up these scenarios to hire more people to make up contingency plans for them. I feel like once a year an article comes out that’s like “the US has a contingency plan in case Sweden falls to communism and arms itself with nuclear weapons” and it’s like: yeah, ok.
This is actually a slipping of the mask imo. The reaction to the LA demonstrations is so anti-ice/trump/military that Charlie is trawling the dregs of think-tank talking points trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator in LA.
Waiting for the first tech company that reinstates in person interviews and hiring locally. Would probably work in silicon valley.
Calexit is becoming less and less of a meme every day.
What they don’t mention here is that these guys get up at 6:00 AM, have lunch at 7 and leave at 8
Where did you get that info? Or do you just hold water for healthcare CEO prosecutions for fun?
Does it stay up? Yes.
Can you sleep in it? Technically
Does it have running electricity and water? (Optional anyway)
Another big win for vibe coders. Pack it up, we’re taking the W home.
The joke response is that building your own PKMS is the final form of procrastination.
The frustration for me is that I use a PKMS all the time: Google Keep.
Cause what I want from a PKMS is a note book, maybe with a way to tag each note, but only if it’s convenient. The cardinal sin of any PKMS is lack of access. I don’t want my PKMS to show a loading screen when I open it. I don’t want it to bury me in options about what type of note I want to create. I don’t want my PKMS to be loaded with so many features that it takes a second or two to switch screens.
I want it to be easier than the effort it would take to carry a note pad and pencil in my back pocket, and it’s astounding that it’s rare and sad that I have to resort to Google’s blessed tendency to abandon projects like Keep to bare minimum functionality for me to get the app that I want. Will I use Keep for 30 years? Idk, but I’ve been using it for a decade so far but knowing Google it’s any day now that they’ll just announce that they’re canning the whole thing.
That’s kind of my point. What part of our whole understanding of how to train dogs involves training them to be more independent? I don’t really think there is any. At best you can point to like dog socialization training, but I don’t think that makes them more independent, that’s just training them to be social when their owners are around.
My main issue with this is that the way we train dogs is that we train them to be dependant on us. So yeah, she’s training him to come out of his shell, maybe, but if it works the same way a dog does he’ll only be loyal and listen to her. Especially because anyone else he meets won’t treat him like a dog and will expect him to behave like a person without the expectation of rewards which would probably make him more adverse to others
Of course, he’s a human being too so it won’t go down exactly like that. I’m just saying that from the very first premise the way we train dogs is by training them to be codependant
That’s only kind of true. There’s a lot of money that could be found in funding Gaza. As someone made a point elsewhere in this thread. Money was made in Ukraine due to us funding it and some creative accounting, but the smart money move was to allow Russia to invade and save money/exploit off the back of the chaos.
In an almost identical way the U.S. could have funded Gaza and made money dragging out the war, but it didn’t happen because of decades of entrenched racism and Zionism.
