According to your logic, San Fransisco shouldn't have to prepare for that next big earthquake, since it hasn't happened yet in 10-20-30-40 years.
The reasons why I'm not at risk for heart disease is because I diet, exercise and take care of myself. People take one look at me and pass judgment without ever bother to find out if they were justified. It's easy to preach gloom and doom out of ignorance.
Boy am I glad you've risen to your level of incompetence and your employer wisely chose to limit your radius of destruction.
I was going to ask if you were stupid but this second sentence erased all doubts.
According to "Hatching Twitter: A True Story of Money, Power, Friendship, and Betrayal" by Nick Bilton and "Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley" by Antonio Garcia Martinez, both Twitter and Facebook are have employees from Google and each other. It shouldn't be surprising that talent from either company would go back to Google. Which is why I've always cautioned people not to burn their bridges because Silicon Valley is just one big incestuous family. You're never know when your brother-father whom you work with today will become your boss tomorrow.
If you think this is bad, you should see hwo I write ebook descriptions.
So I've been told would happen by the time I was [10|20|30|40]-years-old. I haven't had heart issues in 30+ years. Being on a low-carb diet for over five years has significantly reduced my chances for diabetes. This is the same diet that my father went on and he went off insulin six months later.
Is that the before or after picture? [quoracdn.net]
A picture from ten years ago when I did weight training for a year, bulked up from 2XL to 4XL, and I couldn't find any 4XL shirts at the stores. Today I prefer to wear a 2XL shirt even though I could wear an XL shirt, but people would complain about it being too tight across my chest..
The problem with profitability is what to do with the profits? The choices are stockpiling like many Fortune 500 companies are doing or investing in ever riskier assets to find the highest ROI.
That sounds boring anyway, and probably only appeals to a very small subset of the population.
Out of all the books I've recommended on Slashdot, "I'm Feeling Lucky" got 1,300+ clicks and sold 12 copies. There's a lot of interest in the early history of Google.
Based on what I've read about Uber, he need to tell the boys to clean up their locker room behavior, zip up their pants, and attend sensitivity training until everyone agrees that women are not sexual objects.
So they've managed to isolate their "miracle worker" safely away from the productive staff, and cleverly stashed you in a storage room and called it your office.
Then how do you know if they've heard of Slashdot or not?
Because we're all on the same conference call for eight hours a day. Not only do I have to multitask running scripts and writing Slashdot comments, I have to listen to the 30 voices in my head(set).
To suggest that a 40-50 year old IT guy with 20+ years of IT experience would have "never heard of" Slashdot, while at the same time, being an active contributor on Reddit, is a pretty big stretch.
I'm not suggesting. I asked my coworkers. They have never heard of Slashdot.
A link back to my website 20 years ago would have generated 3,000+ clicks from Slashdot. Ten years ago, 300+
clicks. Today, 30+ clicks. Ten years from now, three or less clicks. Slashdot has been dying for a very long time.
Well, if they had been repaired right the first time, there might not be so many to repair everyday.
Tell that to Adobe, Microsoft and Oracle. If the last update or patch failed to remove old registry keys, it will block this month's update or patch from installing. Or upgrading licensed software requires a site tech to coordinate with the user to update. Or the SCCM client decides not to talk to the server to get updates anymore. Or maybe the system was decommissioned, taken offline and wasn't removed from the SCCM database. Or the system that supposed to be behind an ACL is on the general network instead. And that's just a typical day.
Next month we're switching from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Woo-hoo! Job security!!
Because for somebody in IT to NOT know what Slashdot is, but know and use Reddit, suggests that they're twenty-something year olds fresh out of college with maybe a few years of experience under their belts.
Slashdot is relic of the dot com bust in 2001 and ranks #5,555 on Alexa. Reddit was founded in 2005 and ranks #9 on Alexa. Seems like Reddit is more popular than Slashdot these days.
The only reason I knew about Slashdot was that I worked at a video game company where many of testers read Blue's News,
Slashdot and The New York Times.
Create a self-replicating machine on the Moon to create cargo ships and harvester drones to go to the outer planets. No need to send people. James P. Hogan wrote in "Code of The Lifemaker" about a damaged self-replicating machine from an alien civilization that crash lands on Titan and accidentally creates robotic life when it tried to build factories to send raw materials back home.

Yes, and I imagine that you use that fact to justify eating them by the bucket full.
One serving (1/2-ounce) per day. After five years, I'm tired of eating them.
[...] the last time he ate a fruit was about 40 years ago.
Not true. I had ketchup on my cheeseburger last night.
Since then, it's power bars and other sugar-and-fat laden processed bullshit that he's deluded himself into thinking are "health" foods.
Never mind that I lost ten pounds and wearing smaller sized pants.
Lol so blatant. Thanks mods.
I'm stuck with the stupidest trolls on Slashdot.
I bet he's shoveled down a few bags of corn chips smothered in gallons of avocado dip in his day.
I don't like avocado. I prefer French onion dip instead. Back in the day being 30+ years ago.
I'm sure it was all part of his healthy low-carb diet of vanilla lattes, powerbars, and cottage cheese, too.
Pork skins have zero carbs.
They're not???
Nope.
When did this happen?
1990's
I mean, if you can't have sex with them...what's their use?
Eye candy. You can look at them in the eyes but no drooling, no touching, and no mansplaining.
Google is the new Godzilla, stomping on everyone's Internet connections.
Could someone explain avocados to me?
Avocados are the iPhones of the grocery world. For those who cannon afford avocados, watermelons are the Android equivalent.
Profitability is passe.
The problem with profitability is what to do with the profits? The choices are stockpiling like many Fortune 500 companies are doing or investing in ever riskier assets to find the highest ROI.
I missed the part in the article where it mentioned the new technologies they are utilizing to achieve this price reduction.
You can buy an Amazon Dot to go with your avocado dip.
If she becomes the CEO of Uber, I am going to work for them, just so I might be sexually harassed by her.
How will you distinguish yourself from all the other bootlickers who have the same idea?
That sounds boring anyway, and probably only appeals to a very small subset of the population.
Out of all the books I've recommended on Slashdot, "I'm Feeling Lucky" got 1,300+ clicks and sold 12 copies. There's a lot of interest in the early history of Google.
If Meg Whitman had taken the Uber CEO job, I wondered what that would have meant for the future success of HP after she split the company into two.
Based on what I've read about Uber, he need to tell the boys to clean up their locker room behavior, zip up their pants, and attend sensitivity training until everyone agrees that women are not sexual objects.
I was hoping it would former Yahoo! CEO Marissa Meyer. Now I don't have a valid reason to promote "I'm Feeling Lucky: The Confessions of Google Employee Number 59" by Douglas Edwards, which documented the author's early interactions with Yahoo's future CEO.
So they've managed to isolate their "miracle worker" safely away from the productive staff, and cleverly stashed you in a storage room and called it your office.
That's because I'm regional and not local. Plus my office has a window with an excellent view of the roof.

Really? Your co-workers don't notice that website on your screen 67% of the day?
My co-workers are scattered across the US. The only people who come into my office are those who are conducting an IT inventory.
