Fuck! That's two errors on the front page this morning!
*sigh*
I get that not everyone has good grammar (or uses Grammarly), but FFS, every modern device that edits text has a spell checker built in... Use the goddamn thing!
There are so many more layers to his "challenge"/speech; competition, national pride, youthful exuberance (and pride), etc... All of it carefully crafted to keep costs low and productivity high. Full stop.
This certainly felt like the early form of A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer.
Not that I want any corporation to be responsible for teaching my children, but having a private, custom version without relying on someone else's eyes; I'll take it.
Well said. One missed item, that hard-fought for 40 hour work week is now considered lazy.
I work in IT, not programming --just the back-end stuff, and I have been shamed (not ashamed) for considering anything less than 60+ hours per week --not including weekends-- to be idiotic. They each looked at me and said, "You're in IT". Like that was supposed to say it all.
I'm not working anything more than I absolutely have to to keep my job, and keep my family fed. If I were hourly, it might be a different story.
That makes sense. You implicitly trust the SatNav to be accurate, but other people's direction could be erroneous. Ergo, your brain is constantly fact-checking their directions.
AR was always going to be the "Next Big Thing". VR is a fun, limited-use-case solution looking for a problem. AR keeps the user productive. AR keeps the user engaged in the world around him/her.
Will this speed up transfers and other digital transactions?
I find it incredibly frustrating that it still takes DAYS to do some electronic transfers. After all, immediately verifiable trust should foster a speedier transaction, right...right?
That is called self-acceptance. Accepting my lot in life does not mean I should be claiming enlightenment due to my ailment/impairment/shitty fucking lifestyle choices, it came from deep introspection and a truckload of work. That should be the message.
Fat acceptance says I should accept that fat people are beautiful, too. Fuck that.
I had been fat all my life (still about 20lbs over my ideal BMI), like seriously fat. Morbidly obese was the term. I worked my ass off to lose half my body mass.
Losing weight didn't grant me enlightenment, it just made me lighter. Enlightenment came from the years of mental struggle, overcoming my own demons that got me to that weight.
Fuck that. Celebrating what makes a person shitty is not good.
It's not just engineers. I work in education and there are two of those people I can think of off the top of my head. Both of them gave tons of free time to the company to get promoted and now everyone else is held to their standard.
Living in Allston in the early 90's and some friends of mine (L0pht, NewHackCity, CDC, etc...) ran all kinds of boxen. Solaris, Mac, and something brand new called Linux. I loved the power and efficiency. I loved how configurable it was. I wasn't even in college at the time (broke adult).
Slackware on a 486dx4-25. Gotta admit, I miss the days of hacking hardware to get it to do what you want.

Does no one edit anymore? We used to see a little (sic) every now and then, or a ...[word]... here and there. Now, nothing.

Clever monster...
This is Rick acting like a god and telling his microverse inhabitants that they can only be truly happy by working for his betterment.
Fucking monster.
I would like to reply to your sig.
It took humans thousands of years to build houses capable of withstanding natural catastrophes.
Software's been around, what, ~100 years (200 if you go back to the Jacquard Loom c. 1804).
We're dumb, and only learn from experience. Gibe us a few thousand more years. :)

Not for long.

When a Wells Fargo employee accuses you of financial malfeasance you know you done fucked up good.
What a scummy fucking troglodyte.
I pray for the VP to suddenly and violently be promoted to POTUS.

Unfortunately, I doubt it...
That's great and all. Just one issue, without a super-heated, spinning core the atmosphere will just blow away...
Magnets, yo!
Probably the most interesting bit, after the 50s-esque ship landing on mars, is the terraforming teaser at the end...
I wanna more about that!!
How do they plan on restarting the magnetic core?
I'm really disappointed with this decision. So much potential wasted.
But, I think we all saw this coming a mile away. It didn't come across as 'sexy' enough.
Too bad...
*smh*
You truly believe that, don't you?

But what do I know, I don't own a media outlet.
Pedantic? Yep!
Necessary technical detail? Yep!
How necessary? 8 times as necessary!
6 GB/s is fucking awesome!
6Gb/s, not as impressive.
Neuromancer for the win; we now just need an orbiting, privately funded space station.
A suit that makes old people feel young!! That would be swell!

Already have my resume out.
This is the same mechanism used during antivirus scans.
Makes sense to do it with biological machines, too.
Well put.
O'm always flabbergasted by how few people actually learn from history and he mistakes that have been made in the past.
Dumb.
What the hell is a petfalop?
HAHAHA!
Hooray beer!
Why are typos so much funnier when drunk?

I think you meant DMCA...
