My guess is that's it's easier to neatly package your data up for when they go to sell it.

If the magic smoke comes out, that's entirely the electrician/electrical designer's fault. Their circuits shouldn't have let me do that.

I do industrial programming. Everything is so far behind that yelling at the "computers" does nothing. Physical violence is just about the only thing they respect.

Also, jets are just plain old cool. Everyone likes a mini-airshow.

Well that depends entirely on just how difficult that first step actually was, and how long your legs are.

Also, you don't get to call yourself "counter culture" when you are in charge of the most powerful country on the planet.

That's not really relevant here. This is more of a "genie is out of the bottle and now we have to learn how to deal with it situation". The idea and technology of bots and AI training already exists. There's no socioeconomic system that is going to magically make that go away.

Ok, I now need a screensaver that I can tie to a cloudflare instance that visualizes the generated "maze" and a bot's attempts to get out.

Does Greenpeace even have any assets they could be made to pay with if they wanted to?

Oh no! Whatever shall they do?

Orcas are the biggest of the dolphins, and they are nightmare fuel for anything they decide is food.

Are you a great white shark that just smelled an orca? Better nope out to the other side of the planet before the orca eats your liver.

Are you a seal just swimming along? Oops, an orca just yeeted you 30 ft into the air with a tail slap, and is going to eat your stunned ass when you land.

Are you a smart seal who thinks they're safe on the ice? Nope. Orcas will break up the ice and knock you off using waves.

Are you a grown ass moose casually going for a swim without a worry in the world? Forgot about one of your only natural predators. Now you've been eaten by an orca.

It's like Canada has switched from embracing our polite and slightly passive aggressive British side, to embracing our "fuck the consequences and fuck you" not-so-polite French side.

I'm here for it. I think we should start doing all official communication with the US in French. After all, it is one of our official languages, and I'm feeling awfully petty.

I'm not asking everyone to be able to become a hardware specialist, but if you can't even figure out "my computer gets hot" I'm not going to be able to trust anything you do. Identifying a heat issue does not take a rocket surgeon.

Could be a gen 5 nvme drive without adequate cooling. Them bastards can run hot. Especially the early gen 5 drives.

Yes, but this may be a symptom of an issue I've been seeing with younger programmers; they've siloed themselves so specifically into whatever programming they "specialize" in, that they become absolutely useless at dealing with absolutely anything else related to their job. And exasperating this issue is the fact that they've grown up with systems that "just work". Windows, iOS, and android are all at the point where fucking around with hardware issues is very uncommon for the average person.

Asking this guy to solve a hardware problem is like asking hime to tune a carburetor. He likely has not the slightest clue how to start.

Remember kids, it's not a war crime the first time. Gonna have to go back to being creative.

That's one of the biggest things. The first time they voted for Trump, we could forgive them, since it was hard to predict that he would be quite that awful. But this time? They knew. They knew what he was, what he stood for, and what he would do. They knew, and they chose him anyway.

That'd be great, but I'm not sure how Canada is going to enforce Canadian law inside the US, and I imagine that he's at least smart enough to stay out of Canada.

I love me some mega-projects, but as much as I'd love to see Neom succeed, I will be absolutely shocked if it ever becomes something more than a big ditch in the desert.

Well, Ontario has been talking about building some more nuclear reactors. I guess it's time to change up the "reactor" part.
