- Comment on how good are you at lying during job interviews? 19 hours ago:
IMO, lying is a terrible way to start any relationship. At best it means you wind up with a job you’re unqualified for. At worst the whole thing blows up in your face. Maybe even the remote possibility of fraud charges.
Don’t think there’s anything wrong with embellishing or talking yourself up, but outright lies seldom work out well. At least in my experience in my industry.
- Comment on YSK that you can save a lot of money in Colorado by using Bustang. It's a government-run bus service that offers great and frequent buses across the state 1 week ago:
Is bustang a synonym of bussy?
- Comment on Wyoming launches first state-backed stablecoin on seven blockchains 1 week ago:
The Frontier Stable Token is overcollateralized by cash and short-term U.S. Treasurys, holding a minimum reserve of 102% to ensure stability at Franklin Advisers.
Wonder how long this will last until we start the fracturing of US currency at the state level again. That’d get pretty turbulent.

- Comment on First antidote for carbon monoxide poisoning "cleans" blood in minutes 1 week ago:
That’s got to feel amazing. Pair that with an IV of saline you’ll feel like a new person.
- Comment on China's unemployed young adults who are pretending to have jobs 2 weeks ago:
That’s how things get started.
- Comment on Why don't these AI data centers build by the ocean? 2 weeks ago:
It’s access to electricity and cost of land. People want to live near oceans, so it’s usually more expensive. If you can get dirt price land in Wyoming that has a power plant near it with capacity, you have most of what you need.

Ban back on, then?
- Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber 4 weeks ago:
Hate to say it, but that technical literacy from having to operate computers the difficult way was a small blip in history. So things are just kind of going back to “normal.”
The only real natural entry into “computing” is gaming. Pretty much everything else has to come through formal education, which is largely myopic and boring.
Don’t think I’ve even worked with a gen Z engineer yet. I assume they exist.
- Comment on The Age-Checked Internet Has Arrived 4 weeks ago:
I’ll take that bet. Probably won’t be effective, but I’m betting this shit is here to stay. There already hasn’t been enough push-back.
- Comment on MIT researchers have unveiled a portable, window‑sized device dubbed the atmospheric water harvesting window (AWHW) that can extract clean drinking water directly from air, even in death valley 4 weeks ago:
Interesting. That design sounds a lot like vapor chambers that cell phones use for cooling. Just, not sealed.

You’re in the Science Memes comm. It’s self-deprecating.
- Comment on Have you ever been invited to a search party? 5 weeks ago:
Boots and pants. It wasn’t that fun. But we did get to ride quads so, actually it was a little fun.
- Comment on Valve are now removing a bunch of sex games from Steam to keep banks and card companies happy 5 weeks ago:
I think they fear regulation so much that they’re willing to be this proactive to keep Congress off their asses.
It’s still weird to me that they never seem willing to test the boundaries, though. They’ve got more lawyers and lobbyists than they know what to do with.
- Comment on The Netherlands explores turning rail wagons into hospitals for wounded soldiers 1 month ago:
I’ll consider joining the fight if it’s a Koploper that comes to my rescue.
- Comment on ‘An uphill battle’: why are midlife men struggling to make – and keep – friends? 1 month ago:
Those reporting 10 or more close friends decreased from 33% to 13% during the same period.
Do “normal” people really have 10 or more close friends? I’ve never had that many close friends my entire life.
- Comment on Google hit with $314m fine for collecting data from idle Android phones without permission 1 month ago:
Doesn’t sound like the suit was about the collection at all and just about the Yakuts transmission costing users mobile data usage.
Vague articles are vague.

- Comment on Can AI run a physical shop? Anthropic’s Claude tried and the results were gloriously, hilariously bad 1 month ago:
Current AI systems can perform sophisticated analysis, engage in complex reasoning, and execute multi-step plans.
No, not really
