Wait I thought wind was the reason behind the power instability in Texas’s otherwise perfect, sufficient, competitive and independent power grid?

“Action? Yeah…they got 4 new detectives working on the case…they got us working in shifts! Action, ha.”
Would love to see the allocation of resources in the stupid company toward crime prevention vs. developing advertisement money funnels

- Comment on If reality worked the way hiring managers and job interviews thought it did companies would have to fire everyone when they purchased new software since no one would have any experience using it. 2 weeks ago:
I’m in HR and think about this a lot; it’s (mostly) a marker of poorly run companies when they say experience in software X is required. Mostly these pets are using one of several software solutions and by saying a candidate must have experience in a specific software means the company is brittle; can’t train, wants to hire non-thinkers and learners, and also likely isn’t looking ahead at what will change in the future.
Software change will only accelerate likely, so hire learners.

Here’s the VP of Reddit’s community cited in the article, Laura Nestler, preaching super engagement from a platforms most fanatical users to power content for the 90%.

She was at Yelp prior, which if you want to look at a steaming pile of a wasted company, man give reddit 5-10 years.

- Comment on LG TVs start showing ads on screensavers | LG's TV business is heightening focus on selling ads and tracking 1 month ago:
We’re 5 years from someone proposing “smartwall displays” where the entire wall is your display. No more messy cables or creaky mounting brackets. They’ll, of course also have removed the on/off button and you won’t get to control the volume, but just think of the stimulation!
Fahrenheit 451’s technology just around the corner of the next shitty planned community coming soon near you.

- Comment on Microsoft inks deal to restart Three Mile Island nuclear reactor to fuel its voracious AI ambitions 1 month ago:
A tax break for “clean energy”, “strategic investment corridor” or “self-poweting companies” to reduce the load on the grid (that a few enormous companies like MS are creating) will be written into law, if it isn’t already, and it will be a complete tax write-off or something so they get to reap any rewards and when AI hype dies down they’ll still have increased profits by reducing taxes. When you win/win by owning the system you just win.

“It just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen,”
Spoken like every person who finally sees the antifa light when the dam starts to break and the chaos, violence, hate and anger fueling fascist movements finally aren’t wrapped up in “patriotism” any longer.
Don’t care, lock her up.

Add in the facial recognition technology they’re also deploying and go to the next level of Dante; what do people’s habits who look like “x” who are with people(kids, partners, friends) who buy “y” and don’t buy “z”?
