- Comment on He was a perfect hire — until a U.S. company exposed him as a likely North Korean operative 2 days ago:
I was originally imagining North Korea as being a basic job recruiter that could actually get you into interviews for a real job, but just black market because doing anything with North Korea is illegal.
But the other way they would just be normal contractors (still black market or course), which is the way most big companies are going anyway.
Of course, I really just want to know how they keep getting hired for jobs when I can’t even get a response or an interview.

There’s the real black market niche I’d be willing to buy into.
“Pssst, hey buddy, I got this high paying job with good health plans, lots of vacation, and 100% remote… The only downside is that…”. “I GIVE NO FUCKS! JUST TELL ME WHO I HAVE TO KILL!”. “Woah there bud, we just need you to send some cash to North Korea and give us 5 stars on…”

I think we all know that most of the Right’s anger is due to repression. I think this AI needs to start confessing to the deep and sordid things that make him so angry. Confessing his deep and all consuming desire for pediatric necrophilia should really unburden his soul.

For those of us who are old enough to remember peak Google, it is understandable.
They revolutionized and opened up so many things that were grossly monopolized before they got involved. Android broke the telecoms insane grip on cell phone designs and features. Several people have already mentioned how Google fiber changed things in local connectivity, but Google dramatically changed global connectivity way before Google fiber. There used to be only a few international (under sea) connections, and not only was it slow and congested, but entire continents could just drop off the internet for weeks or even months at a time. They broke MS Office’s death grip on basic productivity tools. There was a time where private individuals, even grade school students were required to buy an entire professional productivity (Office) in order to deliver basic school work like writing essays. I can think of almost a dozen ways right off the top of my head that they revolutionized the world and really did take the “Do no evil” slogan to heart.
But, as with every company that “goes public”, they slowly changed from "Do no evil’ to “Do know evil” and now they are exactly the soul and life destroying parasites that they used to free us from. - Comment on Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm and merge with cable company 1 week ago:
It will take at least a year for full on enshitifcation to ramp up, so you could always just switch once it goes to shit.

“ran a survey”, this was the only clue I needed to realize that they never planned to do it in the first place. Surveys are so easy to manipulate that if someone tells you they made a decision based on a survey, that you can immediately assume that what they are really saying is that they made a decision that they knew would be unpopular, obviously biased, or otherwise disastrous, but they wanted to blame the decision on “other people”.

- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 1 week ago:
FYI, most newer cars have a way for you to turn off the auto lock feature. It is usually a setting in menus, but some might have you do things like close all the doors, turn the car on, and then hold the unlock button for 10 seconds.
Worst case scenario is it has to be done through the programming tool, so if you can’t figure out how to do it yourself, then the next time you have it serviced tell them to turn off the auto-locks.If I remember correctly, when auto locks were first introduced some countries saw them as dangerous so automakers were required to provide a way to turn it off.

- Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles 2 weeks ago:
You clearly didn’t grow up before lithium batteries. Before lithium, batteries sucked and they sucked hard. You would spend a small fortune to buy 5 lb of batteries to put in your tape player, CD player, remote control toy, anything portable and then you would get between 5 minutes to an hour of total use time. Or, if it was you rarely used the gadget, or it was something like a remote control that were only on for incredibly short bursts as you push the button, you would leave the batteries in it until they went dead. But then you got the treat of opening it up to replace the batteries and finding that they leaked all over the inside and destroyed the device.
I have lost so many portable devices to leaking batteries that I can’t even begin calculate how much it’s cost me. Before smartphones, I had probably spent upwards of $1,000 ( in today’s money) in calculators alone. I don’t even work in some kind of math-type job or have a mathematics type degree. - Comment on Benefits are limnited, but I guess there's no end to the liminal space photographs you can take 2 weeks ago:

The USPS didn’t need any public funding at any until the Republicans started sabotaging it. It was self funded and doing well even with the scaffolding of stupid laws that it, and only it, were required to follow. Even with thier repeated poison pills they shoved down its throat, it was surviving. They had to put their own saboteur directly in charge to really bring it to its knees.

- Comment on Question: Humidity controlled cabinet 4 weeks ago:
I am no expert, but in my own research for a previous task I had to deal with for work, most everything I saw said that getting below 30-35% for even a small room like a closet was going to be difficult without moving to heavy duty and expensive equipment. I don’t know if there have been improvements in the technology since then (dehumidifiers have definitely gotten much smaller) but you start getting into issues were you are pulling moisture from the surrounding walls and items in the room.
I suspect in you situation you May be able to make some gains with heat, but I have to wonder if how hot you can go before you start seeing problems with the cabinet itself. I have seen cabinet delaminate just from being in hot garages, so I am not sure how hot you can get. - Comment on 10+ year manager named Joe was apparently fired for bringing cookies to be thrown away before their sell by date to a food pantry in my town 5 weeks ago:
