Yeah, I remember a previous incident where we were concerned about a "brain drain".

hah! You thought I was talking about this.

This Torment Nexus implementation is ill-conceived, slipshod and substandard.
Put in the work to do things right or don't fucking bother.

Which is what these greedy out-of-control AI fuckwits are doing in a more diffuse manner.

There's non-destructive ways to scan books, that probably are just as fast as what these negligent morons are doing. It's just plain greed above all else.

This kind of behavior tells you who these people are. And why they should be shunned. It's starting to look like good people need to take action to stop their destructive rampage.

His. Name. is. BOBBY Tables! [1]

"No net zero?
OK, carbon negative it is, you heard the boss."

Wow, Caldera, there's a company I haven't heard about in a looooonnngg time.

Let's remember that they transformed into blatant patent troll and persistent lawsuit pest The SCO Group which Microsoft funded in a futile attempt to bludgeon Linux out of existence.

I hope Ford gave all those hapless engineers back pay for the whole time they were fired. (Hapless, because they took the offer to come back instead of finding an employer that properly valued their expertise and experience.)

It seems that the gestalt of the era is not just plain incompetence, but a complete disdain for competence. Fuck these bad managers and slipshod stewards.

If you're spending $250,000 for a joyride, you should do some risk analysis of your own.
Home made submarines are mostly unnecessarily complicated ways of drowning as should be scrutinized with a jaundiced eye.
