Comment Need someone smarter than myself here. (Score 1) 15

I can't make sense of all this shit and it seems this is a long way from production but....

By intelligently designing these scattering elements, metalenses offer unparalleled subwavelength control over the polarization, amplitude, phase, and frequency of incident light [1]. This advanced control can drastically enhance the efficiency and compactness of next-generation optical systems

I can certainly imagine that there could be interesting applications like DLSR type cameras that fit in a phone where white light is broken up by color and each color is read by an independent sensor.
I can imagine there could be interesting AR and VR applications.
Also applications for 3d and holographic displays.

Could anyone more educated on the subject interject?

This is to rent DVDs of shit you can't find for sale except ebay.
Shit that was kinda underground when it came out 50 years ago kinda stuff.
I will say streaming services have gotten better about obscure films but:

There are currently no streaming services offering "Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom" for online streaming in the US or the Philippines, and likely other markets as well. The film is not available on popular platforms like Netflix or Amazon Prime for streaming. It may be available for purchase or rent, but no specific streaming inclusion was found.

I will say that was my 2nd try to stump it.

Look supposedly we're supposed to all lose our jobs to AI or something and we've been hearing all sorts of reasons we have to put up with shit.
I don't support Trump in any way but I'm to the point with the tech industry I'll go fucking tint windows or fix rooftops or even maybe even turn crime.

Go ahead and take my job fuckers I'm tired of hearing about it for the past 20 years. Here I am! Kill me now!

I was a âoegive me gas, or give me deathâ kind of guy until I picked up an induction cooktop for my sailboat.

That thing is amazing. The only thing it really falls down at is where you want to go low and slow. But thatâ(TM)s probably more to do with it being a cheap plug in unit rather than the technology itself.

Unfortunately, running the 30A circuit for a full sized unit in my condo is virtually impossible. Also, induction doesnâ(TM)t help with baking tasks.

Comment Re:NPS over-fishing (Score 1) 159

NPS is big because it was the brainchild of well connected owner class society and MBAs and other ascendent-hopefuls hang on their every fucking word. It got pushed out at every business conference, trade-rag, and business administration podcast.

I quickly associated it with mismanagement and pretty much only ever answer it to poison the data and get revenge on some faceless MBA that i know i would hate working for.

Comment Re:I never answer them... (Score 1) 159

Yep if I bother to give any response it's the poison the data of whatever MBA shitbrain thinks I'm gonna work for free or snitch on some overworked phone jocky.
The interesting thing is that according to the responses in this thread, it's somewhat normal.
It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for the business community to adapt to, or even accept, this reality. I'll betcha a lot of best practice humping giants go dick-first into the dirt before anyone dare murmur that their ambitious NPS rollout was a mistake. Lots of boomerly worthless MBAs are gonna expose themselves as idiots.
Be sure to ask whose leadership and faith brought you into whatever pickles this puts you in at work.
