Was always why I loved the books so much, every single step highlights poor management and going cheap for profit sake after having invested so much money in the cloning technology.

It’s like buying a brand new super car and then throwing the cheapest used tires you can find on it.

Dr. Wu tries to push Hammond to use slower, calmer, easier to contain dna modifications but Hammond ignores him, Wu can’t quit cause he was sniped as a post-doctorate and can’t publish any of his work so every employer would see a worthless resume

Muldoon demanded better weapons to handle the dinosaurs if something happened, Hammond doesn’t let him have anything more than a single tranq firing rocket launcher because “he doesn’t want the dinosaurs to be hurt”

Nedry was the lowest bidder but then they refused to give him good specifications and requirements “due to secrecy” so of course the code had bugs, which he was not supposed to be on the hook to fix for free, but Hammond went and slandered him to all of his other and future customers, basically blackmailing him till he came and did a ton of free labor.

Dr. Harding, the only veterinarian, (who also was the father of Sarah Harding in Lost World), wasn’t allowed to dissect any of the animals to study their physiology, so when they tried to sterilize them with radiation they had to guess where the reproductive organs were.

John Arnold (hold onto your butts) was overworked and the only person who know how to use the systems, creating a single point of failure. He also was ignored when he insisted that the park needed more testing before they open the park but was ignored by Hammond, because it would take too much time. He also said they relied too much on automation, but was ignored due to costs and cool new tech.

Hammond was an asshole who portrays the typical tech bro attitude even though he’s an old man. He was mostly a fundraiser not the brains behind the project. His former partner who was the genius behind the cloning tech (and Wu’s former teacher) died of cancer. But even during the fundraising he was a total fraud, they had made a pigmy elephant and used it as a demonstration of the cloning tech, but it actually wasn’t a clone or any dna modifications that made it. And on top of that it had a shitty temperament and would get sick if people touched it. Dude was a total snake the entire time. And he ultimately dies at the end by a bunch of Compys after the park has been mostly restored.

How could this be confused as piracy. It’s uploaded by the developers of the game?

While I do wish they’d cut back their spending in order to build up enough of an endowment to be good forever, that whole thread just reads like a crappy hit piece where someone is mad that Wikimedia contributes to social and more liberal causes.

My opinion is probably different than a lot of folks’. But when we’ve got billionaires using their ridiculous amounts of money to buy the United States and trying to do the same elsewhere in the world, I’d rather keep supporting an org that aligns with beliefs that aren’t fascist, racist, evil, etc. and Wikipedia is one of the best parts of the internet still, so I like supporting them in general.

That being said, I appreciate the read, it was interesting.

Why can nothing be easy anymore

Curious what you find on open secrets. Stranahan’s is one of my go to whiskeys

Stranahans in CO Woodinville in WA

Are both 2 solid choices from blue states.

Some folks also like 291 distillery in CO, they’re ok. Not as good in my mind as the other 2

I don’t feel like the 4000 series ever really got to easily available at MSRP prices.

But on top of that I know a lot of folks skipped the last couple generations because the scalping was outrageous.

I hate it though. They’re not wrong that the companies selling or making GPUs could easily solve the problem, but they just don’t care.

It was audible he spoke up about and released his secret books on other audiobooks platforms like Spotify and some others.

God I loved that game

Keystrokes don’t have to be in a text field or input. That’s my point.

If I’m on say google. And I type anything into the field it’s definitely capturing it. You know this for no other reason then it would have to be with autocomplete as an option.

Keystroke capturing is the same as keylogging, aka anything typed even if it’s not into a place where you would assume it’s being seen by the app. Aka, if I had an app open in the background and was typing in my password, it would see and capture that.

They’re completely different things. While the privacy issues of US large tech companies are abundant and awful, there is a large difference between keystroke capturing and capturing input via fields. Especially when you’re agreeing to allow them to process and transfer or even sell that information.

Not usually. Keystroke info is different than text input, like if you didn’t click onto any field and typed it would only be captured if keystroke are all being grabbed. It’s especially scary if you keep the app running in the bg and then type something and it still captures it. Not saying they’re doing that, but the privacy policy says they might.

The rhythm part is annoying, it’s commonly used to ID people even through things like ad blocks and dns blocks. Could also (in theory) be used to capture what people are typing just by hearing how they type.

Collecting keystrokes is very different from collecting text inputted into fields. Keystroke rhythms is even more alarming as that is often used to identify users despite them using privacy settings, or used to collect what’s typed via audio collection.

Your argument that this is no different than other apps is complete crap. Don’t trust any app that collects that information

Storm father approves though

Isn’t that just parking with extra costs at that point? Lol

Use a ton of their MagSafe stuff, their travel 3-in-1 charger, the portable MagSafe battery, their other 3-in-1 charger.

I know folks have complained about their quality going down but I haven’t noticed it with their chargers. They’re still our go-to for charging

Love that your example was riven. Was my first thought on the title.

The myst games, their newer game Obduction, the Talos Principle. Those puzzle games all are awesome and take some pen and paper.

Escape from mystwood mansion, the house of da Vinci are a couple others that feel the same way.

Less adventure, more “must optimize!” games like Satisfactory, Factorio are other games that require me to bust out pen and paper or at least a website, spreadsheet or calculator.

Well now I have to leave the typo hahaha

Time to switch to lobo (supposed to be Kobo) when my current oasis dies

Thats the 3rd district. Her current district that she’s running away from to avoid running against Frisch again. The GOP is worried they’ll lose that district now. And I hope Frisch wins

Let’s go Adam Frisch!
