I wish I was smart enough to fuck up at my 7 figure job, then quit and make a start up utilizing my fuck ups to get rich.
I feel like this country has been on a downward spiral since the 80s, when MBAs decided firing people when a company didn't meet it's numbers was A Good Thing. (note: they still made money, just didn't meet the numbers). Now we have MBAs fucking up, realizing they fucked up, quitting,, and making a startup capitalizing on their earlier fuckups.
How fucked up have we become that this is the norm?
Companies follow a standard trajectory now.
Start with a couple people with an innovative idea.
Get funding to make your dream come true.
Get forced to hire "business" people who have never had an original idea.
Either be forced out, bought out, or sold off to some nameless faceless company (yahoo?)
See your dream idea turned into something nobody wants anymore.
(sometimes there is a Profit step, but it's probably going to be at the cost of what's left of your soul)
Why? as in "why is this not a doctoral thesis yet"
Small humans often ask a complicated chain of "Why's" starting with general, and ending in the answer "Just Because" when the teaching unit exhausts their knowledge of a subject.
AI training could use the Internet for training, assuming they could ascertain which data sources were "real" and which ones are "fake". Some humans don't do well on this though./s
I used MiniDLNA for a while (when I was using a SONY PS3 as a media player, and it worked pretty well. I can't imagine DLNA support is really much of an accomplishment in 2918.
Do most jobs last more than two years in 2018? We're not living in 1958 where someone could go to work for GM or IBM at 21 and work there for 40 years till retirement.
Employers can fire you at a moment's notice -- why should they expect more loyalty in return?
I only read the article summary, but if they're shit minimum wage/tipped jobs, one shithole is exactly the same as any other.
If they're "professional" jobs, some migration and grass is greener syndrome may figure in.
You're right about loyalty being a two way street though.
Why does this still work? I would think we would have adjusted things years ago so that once a wrong password is tried like, oh, I don't know, say 50 times the account is locked. Or don't allow more than one attempt per second. Something along those lines.
Of course, locking the account after some number of tries is handy if you want to just cause denial of access/service attacks. Then you get perturbed users who can't log into their accounts, and have to reset passwords/keys which requires time and effort.
I prefer to just block the offending IP after about 3 attempts.
I mean when I go to work, it's dark, when I come out to go home, it's dark. Add another 8 hours of sleep and 2 hours a day commuting, there are 4 free hours for "outside" during a typical week.
Coming soon: an option to outsource these messages to BeautifulHandWrittenLetters.com Yes I'm aware such services already exist (for mailed letters at least).
Oh no, another group of jobs "AI" will be replacing./s
Slashdot Mirror
they would be telling you a trackball and wireframe graphics VRML plugins in Netscape would be good enough.
If hands and feet are good enough today, why not use stick figure hands and feet.
If you want something immersive, being able to shift your POV is pretty useful.
and I think Pornhub may have some VR studies that could have different findings.

thanks for the gift that keeps giving, and won't ever be fixed for so many users,,, /s

A new bunch of features to deal with.

for non-academic use?
Companies that make money from this service should probably be paying something.
And if enough people get peeved about having to pay, I'm sure some private companies would be happy to launch some private satellites.
the poor starving artists? Isn't this kind of service supposed to pay the actual people who create ? /s
it's time to get out my '57 Impala again.
I'll probably get pulled over for having a non-recognizable auto instead of a black 4 door vehicle.
how much bandwidth does it consume?
You can always toss some solar panels and a powerbank into your cabin in the woods to mine.
I know there are concerted efforts to thermal map grow sites, and bitcoin miners are starting to be of interest.
The power company knows how much electricity you're using, and they can figure out from your billing information if you're doing something "extra"
are begging for money to buy a scooter?
I'm just guessing, if you're homeless, other than a house or car, a scooter wouldn't be on the list of things you need to survive.

they didn't steal any cartel money. /s
Sounds more like an NSA/CIA operation to drain the funds.

The "Earth is a flat diamond shape, supported by pillars", is it? So what supports the pillars?
I believe it's been scientifically theorized as being supported by turtles...
In my case, I hope they have figured out how to handle divide by zero errors...
about wi-fi enabled portable hard drives and NFS or Samba shares. or FUSE or SSHFS.
Wait until your boss makes you "dial it up to 11" and work 184.8 hours in a week before you complain about working too hard.
You know, there is no I in TEAM. There is also no $...
happy to just have a job.
That's what the last place I worked told me when I had 14 weeks of unpaid 24/7 on-call.
Since I am no longer required to treat all packets equally, I have:
-Installed noscript
-Installed uBlock origin
-Installed Pi-Hole
-Installed Restrictive Firewall
-Installed Ad-Free hostfile
I get the message, bandwidth is precious, I am doing my part to help!
Those web pages seem to load much faster!
You forgot privacy badger from EFF.
https://www.eff.org/privacybad...
and running your browser in private mode almost always.
And tossing your cookies and cache every couple days.
I''m sure if enough palms were greased correctly, they would have done the needful.

The worst?
With the tight security model Microsoft (and intel) always holds, combined with the track record of Javascript, they sky is the limit!
of Ticketmaster?
if I can deliver 200 lbs of lead at that speed, it would be ok.
