  2. They know what their doing.

    Its niece too no some body does.

  3. If trying to get fired you are to them a lost customer

    Not a 100% sure if that's a proper sentence, but it's rubbish anyway: the replacement is a new customer.

    Unless staffing levels are falling anyway because reasons, in which case there's probably bugger all the union can do about it anyway.

    John Oliver tends to yell a lot, disparage people, insult them, avoid rational discussion of the issues and conflate complicated issues by reducing them to the point of uselessness.

    He should run for President.

  10. train.set.destination - invalid parameter "null" on The Rise of the Video-Game Gambler (newyorker.com) · · Score: 2

    People will try to apply AI to this. But tell me, when will an AI be able to determine:

    When to retain what you have.
    When to relinquish what you have.
    When to exit the situation at a steady pace, keeping at least one foot on the ground at all times.
    When to exit the situation at the maximum velocity possible, even if ground contact is occasionally lost.

    Will it work out that attempting to determine P&L status in real time can be counter-productive, and sometimes a per-session summary is sufficient?

  11. Indeed. the Star Trek quote is totally plucked from thin air and isn't a paraphrase of anything written by a famous philosopher, especially not Bentham or Mill.

    I'm reminded of efforts to stamp out sickle cell anemia.

    I'm not, because there weren't any.

  14. I wonder how many of these "engineers" were diversity hires who couldn't build a Duplo kit but could put together a 200 page document - with one page per gender identification.

    Perhaps they need more people like James Damore.

  15. But but but ... they were put there by the creator (whoever she is) and they're inalienable (I think this means they don't apply to Mexicans).

    The magic document says so!

  16. Theoretically those rights are innate but in reality we only have them because the government chooses not to take them away.

    And chooses, at least to an extent, to prevent others taking them away.

    When I was a kid I repaired several sets of headphones. For me the wire tended to break near the plug, probably from being bent when used with a walkman in a pocket. Amputate just above the break and solder a new one on that you bought from Radio Shack for less than a packet of chewing gum.

    Then unsolder it and do it again because you forgot to thread the cable through the screw-on shell first, doh!
