Think of the recurring opportunity for emails about price increases and downstream shareholder value!

Horse tranqs, get 'em while they’re hot

2009 will look like a fairytale compared to housing collapse in NV and AZ.

CA will just desalinate and be fine, TX the same.

Yes, a company I worked for did. They were a mission-driven org that was established to reduce poverty in historically disadvantaged groups. Along the way they, like many mission-driven orgs, became so poorly managed that their employees got pissed at them and decided to form a union. The org voluntarily recognized them, and now gets kicked in the face every 3-4 years during negotiations because the org is still poorly run.

So am I right I’m guessing all these tools want closed Internet, where they own all the meaningful compute? That way you can rent access to information they control on a device they own? I feel like it’s all one big attempt to corner the market.

That profit? That’s ours now.

“now you only posted 4 times today Jenny, do you just want to do the minimum?”

“I got mine.”

🤦

The structural driver that over decades tore safety and excellence out from Boeing’s engineers, greed and more greed, has been removed so there is no longer a risk that Boeing leaders would trade human life for 1/4% increase in their own stock price.

Definitely fixed now. I totally trust the company after all the soul searching and improvements they must have made.

This is a poor analogy. Those installed in Doge knew exactly the value and reason the systems. Processes, people, regulations and institutions they are deleting existed; they didn’t want them to as it was disadvantageous to their greedy fixation on omnipotence.

It’s naive to pretend it’s not deliberate.

Gotta stick to emotion, opinion and subjective, otherwise we might make progress with rationality.

The acting was good, the script was ok, I had just read and learned so much about it all in 08-12 I was over it by the time Hollywood and the rest of the world got around to engaging with it.

Margin call I watched a few years ago and also liked.

In the mortgage collapse that drove the world economy to the brink, the ratings agencies were rating dogshit in catshit as AAA, they certainly didn’t give it something more appropriate like BBB-. There was a good scene where Burry (played by Carrell) went to fitch and asked them why they hadn’t changed the rating on the MBS(shit sandwich) when the underlying mortgages were worth zero. The Fitch person said they didn’t feel the need to. They were of course being paid–and still are–by the companies they rate.

It’s unbelievable what people have already allowed, why not go for it if you’re meta?

This exactly covers the main issue. Much damage has already been done that the average person is just supposed to eat? Bullshit.

Meanwhile the airlines rolling out “free Starlink WiFi” without so much as an asterix about who provides and controls the bits you’re sending through it.

Imagine how much data musk will be able to glean getting free access to travelers internet habits and probably a lot more.

“not our responsibility, we’re just a booking portal” which is tenable as a start-up, but after a certain point, if you’re trying to build sustainable business and drive return business, you grow up and understand trust is a fundamental component of sustainable businesses.

Definitely a Dr. Evil headline. $1.3m? What is this 1992?

California: 80% of water use is agricultural and industrial but who do they lean on in drought years? Jimmy fucking John and minute showers. Corporations will not budge without force so state goes after the soft target.

Same play here.
