I used to work at an international, where the CEO left to create a new startup.
The amount of people that worked in his office, that made glazing email all (yep all 2500 global workers) was astounding. In short, that guy was seen mostly as a joke in a large slew of the offices. Because he was so lost from reality.
But he had a cult following, because he was some kind of a name within a niche
a big part is the perception of what you’re used to, I rarely eat meat nowadays and when I do it tends to be game.
My burger patties have gotten to a point where I prefer them to any meat alternative, I’m not saying they’re the same. Outside of serving the same purpose in a burger, but it’s pretty wild I scoff at minced red deer meat now - It just doesn’t carry the same umfph
It’s not just humans, my dogs have always liked pickled jalapeños and a bit of chili
The vast majority of long distance goods is moved by containers. Because it’s the most effective, not fastest, but effective way of travel.
Which is a big reason for warehouses existing, so you can buy your Chinese product. But it only needs to be send from a warehouse in Cologne, rather than as an individually shipped product from Shenzhen
I don’t pretend to understand this part of finance.
A lot of people access potential profits based upon revenue numbers. So when Musk wraps everything under Starlink, he can inflate the revenue numbers. Still show an overall profitability, and then the PR goes. Starlink’s profit margins will increase by 5% points next year. Which sounds and is impressive, but the overall revenue numbers shown by SpaceX covers a lot of other products.
It basically aims to fool people doing a surface level analysis
20*21*12 is more than 50k?
many monarchies are hereditary celebrities rather than hereditary leaders, where the position is kept around for the tourism value and they do not have (or claim to have) any right to rule over people
There is some power, although due to it not having been exercised for a century. Lawyers argue the legal texts are no longer binding.
But they’re ultimately the last entity that should block a party, if they turn full on authoritarian. All democracies need a non political entity, to overlook the democratic process and stop undemocratic moves.
Finland has a president for the same reason, and likewise does several other European nations.
So experts are in a position of power and knowledge creation.
We want whoever is better at a topic, to excel at the topic and be able to research within the topic. Likewise we want ministers of health, whom actually understand health and the science behind it
The problem with the unregulated capitalism we’re seeing globally, is intergenerational wealth. In very short, it’s inheritance.
If everyone were to build themselves up from nothing, we’d have a pretty strong merit based system.
But when rich fucks can hand millions upon millions to their off spring, so no matter their ability to understand the world will live comfortably. Then everything breaks apart.
Ultimately will unregulated capitalism always see wealth/profits drift towards the already wealthy families. Where as resetting wealth every generation, would make dynasties way less likely to exist.
Hating a minority is a theme showing up in politics, every time a society had a downturn.
Jews were scapegoats, they were generally seen as greedy and thrifty. So when the economy went to shit, the workers blamed an ethnic group associated with being successful business people.
The hate for Muslims went up a lot in the aftermath of the 08 crisis. Although the reasons for problems tends to be greed among the elites, they also tend to control the narrative. And will throw a minority under the bus to save themselves
I’m pretty confident Putin is the number one backer of immortality age reversal research globally.
He does all sorts of things, as is tradition among Russian Tzar’s, to halt his aging. The joke is the anti aging gurus tend to die before turning 70 and it has scared every Russian leader in history when they’ve observed that
Also - is the person that’s sending you a ping or SYN really going to notice your status?
I know for a fact several did, as I’ve had a lot of former hello only people ask about the status through the years
It’s not like the job market is good at the moment.
Just finding a job isnt an easy task currently
The hello is not the issue. But getting a notification before the question is.
Ultimately what happens if there’s a bunch of “helloers” approaching you, you end up muting the messaging app and only check messages every X time. Rather than being available, pros and cons. And there’s definitely an argument to be had, that it’s the superior way of working - But hello only people, just shoot themselves in their foot and get longer time to response
How come you find the latter annoying?
It’s the most effective way to let the entire company aware they should not start their conversation that way with me
I have people I just ignore until there’s two notifications
I honestly think the styling is the main reason it feels AI.
because the sentences are too short, they’re a style I sort of writes at times. Just sort of. LLMs tends to output longer sentences, rather than the two-three words. Then dot. That’s a rare one for LLM
However it’s not an anti AI site, so they might have vibe styled it and probably had a LLM help with some of the wording. However I think a human did vet and rewrite parts of it.
Functionally all new apps are “Linux development work”, as modern C# solutions are containerised and hosted on Linux servers.
Microsoft gave up on Windows servers a decade ago when they released .net Core, as it was the sound solution to ensure continual growth of Azure and fighting off Java adoption hosted through AWS/GCP
.net framework is a niche framework now, which just a few legacy platforms run today.
However the reason IT requires Mac and Windows for everyone, is because they can lock those machines down. Like mad down, they don’t want to build software to lock Linux machines down from a central place.
Plenty of such reports from falcon pilots. They’re close enough to see the destruction they’re causing, so several stories have emerged of pilots calling off attacks
