GHCQ? The mens fashion magazine is tapping internet cables? Why?

I’ve know several programmers who I would consider to be 10X.

You get an X multiplier when you have a lot of experience with the programming language.

You get an X multiplier when you’ve built lots of similar things.

You get an X multiplier when you understand related technologies in depth.

You get an X multiplier when you really understand how the computer works.

You get an X multiplier when you really understand the operating system.

You get an X multiplier when your damn smart.

You get an X multiplier when you’re organized and systematic.

You get an X multiplier when you know how to solve problems quickly.

You get an X multiplier when you work hard.

You get an X multiplier when you’re creative and can “see” systems in your head.

You get an X multiplier when you’re happy an motivated.

Sounds too low. They should pay more.

Right. So a company with 750 employees should be run at discount rates by someone sitting in a bathrobe in their kitchen .

What’s wrong with paying market rates for a CEO?

Do you think they should find a CEO below market rates?

Have you donated money to Mozilla or Wikipedia?

Before you attack Mozilla….. are you using it as your primary browser? I.e are you supporting them already?

Do you believe Mozilla should be able to pay its bills? If you’re not happy with this way of raising revenue, what else do you suggest?

I love Shatner… interesting guy. And I’m not even a Trekkie.

90 is a great age to go. Long life fulfilled. If something goes wrong, well maybe it’s a fitting end.

If everything works out, we’ll that’s a fabulous thing for Captain Kirk to do.

Presumably Jeff said he’d go for free.

Of course this is flagged.

The mob has arrived.

A social movement has to form, one that rejects the faceless internet mob, and recognizes only people who exist here and now, physically in the present.

It needs a name. Movements only catch on when they have the right name that instantly conveys the message.

The only solution to this sort of thing is if institutions only accept formal, in person complaints from members of that institution.

To do this they’d have to specifically recognize the problem of mob cancellation and decide to listen only to their own members.

What people haven’t grasped yet is you can’t fight the mob.

There’s no recourse, no appeal, no tribunal, no council of wise learned people you can go to when the mob sets out to destroy you.

You’re just simply fucked and have to accept you’ve been cancelled, your reputation is ruined and you’re “out”.

That’s all there is to it and no-one has come up with a solution.

I feel bad saying it but I’m just not willing to read something this long until eventually it comes to the point.

Amazon does not allow you to use lightsail as a back door for sneaking your data out at low cost.

Cause living on someone else’s platform, they’re possibly going to shove you off that platform.

I did a lot of work researching all the available text to speech systems a couple of years ago.

The cloud based systems from Google, Microsoft, Amazon and IBM are much better than anything else, and within them, the neural network based systems, which appear to be a sort of different product category, are far and away the best of all. The neural voices are approaching natural voice intonation and have an almost believable ability to read text.

The ones that sounded most natural were IBM Watson and Googles neural voices.

Amazon Polly appeared to be the furthest behind of all the cloud systems…. a really average sounding product.

Of the local TTS systems, the one built into MacOS sounds the best… but they were all very average at best. All the linux ones frankly sounded like garbage relative to the state of the art.

Things might have advanced with the cloud systems over the past couple of years but I didn’t get the impression the cloud companies were putting much effort into research and development.

After many years devotion to nginx I ditched it for caddy.

I’d finally had enough of the complex configuration and pain implementing ssl.

No more. Just use caddy.

Crypto goes up, crypto goes down.

Panic/optimism/panic/whatever.

There’s nothing behind the price but pure sentiment.

Yep, there it is… forget all the half measures and flouncing about, go straight for the total surveillance of all people all the time in all situations. Cut out the middle man.

Maybe that’s the only viable business model.

This doesn’t have anything to do with earthquakes.

GPS doesn’t have anywhere near the precision you think.

Errrr… yes. Ok. I’ll back gently out of the room and leave now, keeping my eyes on you the whole time.

I expected there to be suggestions this city was nuked by ancient aliens.

It’s a bit unclear what it is, what it’s for.

I was looking for screenshots to help me understand but couldn’t see any.

The most important thing for these companies is money.

Money above ever other consideration.

Money money money.

Human rights … whatever.

Politics …. Whatever.

Democracy …. Whatever.

Money money money money.

I totally agree. The sooner all humanity is gone, the better for all the other species on earth. Or what’s left of them by the time we’re gone.

Can’t sequoia seedlings be planted around the world?

I personally find functional languages highly unintuitive.

There are zero job ads for FORTRAN or cobol in my country’s job site.

Languages don’t get no deader than that.

A search of my country’s main job site says approx:

250 Ruby ads

420 PHP ads

1600 Java ads

1600 python ads

1300 .NET ads

Lies, damn lies and statistics.
