It's this. When boards and non-tech savvy managers start making decisions based on a slick slide deck and a few visuals, enough will bite that people will be laid off. It's already happening.

There may be a reckoning after, but wall street likes it when you cut too deep and then bounce back to the "right" (lower) headcount. Even if you've broken the company and they just don't see the glide path.

It's gonna happen. I hope it's rare. I'd argue it's already happening, but I doubt enough people see it underpinning recent lay offs (yet).

I won't relax until November. Maybe even January.

Polls, votes... What matters is who's in office and if they have legitimacy. Winning in a national poll feels good. The swing states are the ones that matter and the dumbass is very willing to try everything to swing it to Trump.

Between criminal charges, a reinvented and reinvigorated Dem campaign and havi g been grazed by a bullet... I think he he's cratered.

To say nothing of his noticeable cognitive decline.

Someone's gonna die. That's the whole point. Finding the line.

Whoosh.

When 11 people all own the same dollar, there's more dollars.

It's a 1 minute explanation I got as a junior in high school over 30 years ago. It's not hard to remember either. Banking changed things.

Layoffs are occurring and LLMs are being cited as taking those jobs.

While I'm not concerned an LLM will take my job - nor that my leadership would do that - others do not have that luxury.

Sucks that we're here, but it's happening to some.

Speek four yurselve. I'm gud.

"If they didn't want to be pregnant, they should have remained chaste."

"Husbands have certain rights."

"Life begins at conception."

"FAMILY VALUES!!"

"Pro-Trump"

I got no idea y'all. I don't know that they see the inconsistencies at all.

Also: Numbers 5:11-31. If you haven't read it and you live in a place that people want to turn into a Christian theocracy... It takes less than 5 minutes. Give it a read.

Edit: spelling.

Cleaning fees are just overhead on staying now. But if you don't tidy your rating will take a hit.

It's a scam coming and going. But it's often cheaper and with more selection on location. The last two, I think, are really what keeps them around.

At this point? Defend yourself.

Proportional response and all, so nearly kill some of them, but don't harm anyone. Like sink a carrier slowly so they can all escape.

Aren't Germans famous for having the biggest, slowest bureaucracies?

With nearly 43% favorability.

I no Paxton fan. Not even a little.

That GM lawsuit... That one's worthy.

Going high means you don't appreciate the urgency of the moment or the perfidy of the opponents.

Let's find out in 5 years.

Home Assistant works well on a cheap(-ish) Raspberry Pi. They're even working to get voice fully capable.

It can be fully local and is FOSS, for those for whom that matters.

If I was on the jury, I'd nullify.

I stopped using them months ago. I only notice when I'm looking for places (e.g., restaurants, barbers).

I'm not unhappy but may still shop around.

In the story, the only suffer long enough to die.

In reality, we're talking about my kids living in a country I wouldn't recognize. Vastly different than when I was their age.
