Yeah that touchscreen tablet convertible machine is what has me psyched. I’m not the target for it, and already own a 16, but I could see that thing selling well. I honestly think they came out with the desktop because they just kinda felt they needed a desktop.

Here’s the thing, we scientists need our cheerleaders. We spend our time getting good at doing science, so it’s worth it to hire someone who is good at hyping and advocating for our work. Go listen to the recordings of James Webb trying to explain to JFK that we need to do a shit-ton of science before we can get to the moon. JFK just plain doesn’t understand the magnitude of what he’s asking for. He thinks we could do it in 6 months. This lady is our champion.

Go kick a window in your house right now. If you don’t live in a highrise, you can almost certainly kick it out.

To be clear “up above in my head” are the actual lyrics, but I only learned that fact a few weeks ago. I like my version better.

Yeah my bad, that was a little ambiguous. Very funny to accidentally blow this person’s mind though.

'Cause I’m in too deep
And I’m trying to keep
up above in my head
All the thoughts in my head
'stead of going under

If it gets the job done, I’m willing to make that compromise.

Actual rubber penis is just the funniest phrase.

I got it on a Pixel 7, but I uninstalled it because I’m not trying to have Google spy on me for yet another reason.

I, in fact, do not know how the sausage is cooked. It’s great!

I would assume that the post got to their feed through an intermediate instance that they are federated with, yeah?

Sounds like you need a union.

Your employer is required to pay you minimum wage if tips don’t make up the difference. If people stop tipping entirely, it actually will impact your boss.

It really depends on the field. In some areas PhDs make less than bachelors.

And left their car parked in the photo.

And that they would be mostly right-wing folks, which has generally been true, in part because the bush administration deprioritized going after them.

The Julian calendar, the predecessor to the modern Gregorian calendar, didn’t quite fully account for leap year shenanigans, and so drifted be about 1 day every century. The Gregorian calendar changed the way leap year works, but didn’t reset the beginning of the year. It just froze the drift where it was at the time.

But the opposite is true when you’re by yourself. If you’re staring at the terminal, literally infinite commands are possible. If you’ve got a GUI, the designers had to spend a little time thinking about what all the operations in the program were, and how to organize and access them. You, the user, then get to navigate this mini-help-guide that is the GUI in order to figure out what you need to do. Yes, it’s more work for the programmer, but that’s the entire point of programming. Do a little more work up front in order to save yourself and others a lot of work down the road.

The thing that gets me about HFT is that the market itself could automatically facilitate price inversion trades. There’s literally zero need for these middlemen.

We used to do vertical in Chicago. You drive the livestock to the top floor, butcher them there, then use gravity to move them around.
