Companies don't even have to pay people for the time spent going through their own required security checks... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrity_Staffing_Solutions,_Inc._v._Busk

I remember there being a joke about a sequel where Jack is found frozen, revived, then has to make sense of all the merchandising and romanticism around what to him was a very real and recent tragedy.

This looks like a massive own goal for the Alabama GOP. The relevant state constitution amendment was pushed through in response to covid 19 and they way many states improved voting access during the worst of the pandemic.

It was supposed to make it harder to expand voting access but now (briefly) did the opposite. Not that it matters much on a deep red state.

I hear he plans to bring in Patrick Rothfuss to pick up where he left off and also not finish the story.

Pretty sure that's a banana

I was waiting for: dear sandwich theif, this is IT. We have the printer logs. HR brought us donuts. Your move.

My indirect experience with python is that it is slow as hell. Anytime I install an app that includes python it lags 15-30 minutes on that step. Anytime I'm asked to install something with conda it takes 30 minutes to an hour.

I hope Starbucks fans like waiting hours to get the wrong order.

investment arm of the Southern Baptist churches

I'm not one of those people who complains about religious tax exemptions and the like. But if you have an "investment arm" then you are not a church, you are some sort of weird, cultist bank.

Make it 20 years, but only if it proven to be a team issue and not individual.

Did you get a virus? No.. Did you get 400,000 viruses? Yes, very yes.

Drop a train on em Edgar

They've overhyped the hell out of it and slapped those letters on everything including a lot of half baked ideas. Of course people are tired of it and beginning to associate ai with bad marketing.

This whole situation really does feel dotcommish. I suspect we will soon see an ai crash, then a decade or so later it will be ubiquitous but far less hyped.
