Comment Re: Oh well (Score 2) 221

my oldest is 26, and my next is 22. oldest was told to go into cyberseurity , get a degree in it, gets out, no one will even interview without 5 years experience. no feeder jobs or anything that would give them that experience, just magically you need experience. they've been a supervisor at a fast food place for some time now, applying to 100-150 roles all over the USA and not getting a response, let alone a rejection.

My next just graduated in May, he has a little more of a plan, wants to be a professor and teach English to autistic kids (as he is one, but graduated magna cum laude with a BA in English)

Just wanting to work for a year to save up for his master program, finally found a job for $9.50 an hour at a movie theater, no other place would call him back as he has a BA in English and 'is over qualified' or doesn't have grocery store experience.

This is what happens when you don't hire people for the long haul, everything is transactional. I don't think you should work same place until you die but now business is so unwilling to invest in someone for them to leave, they won't invest.

Comment Did y'all watch the same movie? (Score 5, Interesting) 172

I went to it last night. I have no idea what the complaints are about. 'Dark and Muddy' we were on a world destroyed by war, with people scrounging out an existnance that had bad guys stealing every female child for a breeding farm. Should it be bright and clean?

way to blow the ending spoiler. Yes, she killed a guy. how many action movies have been released where the body count is 100x higher and we're cool with it? the hero murders entire base full of people blows it up on the way out, but supergirl stabs a guy who shot her dog with a poison that tortures it to death over three days and killed a kids family, killed another family and their kid in front of her.

He died to quickly for my taste. He needed to die screaming, one appendage ripped off at a time.

it was a fun movie, I swear to god I do not understand people these days.

you have made no actual coherent argument for why evolution is fake.

I literally did.

The earth hasn't been around long enough (more specifically the beginning of single celled life on earth -- something like 3.4 billion years ago) for evolution to actually work the way they say it does (or has been observed in DNA differences like between humans and chimps -- and that's only a 2% difference).

You may be too retarded and emotional ("who the fuck are 'they'?", "like a fucking sheep", "biggest non-scientific bullshit I've heard in my life", etc.). If you're dying to prove to the internet that I'm wrong, go for it. Get your data, do your math, and show the internet.

Best of luck.

My initial observation stands. In fact, your asking irrelevant questions and demanding proof for math only strengthens the validity of that observation.

That's not how science works.

It really is how it works more often than not. Look at the reproducibility crisis for example.

Some biologists/evolutionists recognize this problem, but like Science always does, they're being laughed at. Which is fine, cause they're just making it up too.

Evolution is fake and literally impossible. It can't hold up to basic math (fixed mutation rate vs time). Your using its banning as the bar for "something fucking majorly gone wrong in the schooling system" just demonstrates how inverted and screwed up the western school system really is.

I've become a pessimist as I enter my 50s.

Everyone not Tesla is worried that Trump will get elected, and to stay in his good graces they're going to 'back off' because they aren't sure if the subsidies they were relying on will continue. They let their dealer networks rip everyone off, making their vehicles un-affordable, and then when interest rates skyrocketed now they can't sell their over priced under delivering pieces of crap. it's one thing to buy a car at 2x its value when interest rates is square root of a small number but when you now get 7-8% instead of 1-2%.dealers fucking over people doesn't work and the sales completely stall because the things were expensive before they were marked up.

Meanwhile, Tesla will continue to fuck up the market and sell more. I just wish Elon wasn't such an asshole.

My hope is that Polestar, and the Chinese brands I'm not familiar with and others still invested will pick up some of the slack. In a fair world GM, and others like Toyota will become a history lesson like buggy whip manufacturers.

Call me a luddite but I'm a bit against the current 'AI' that basically scraped the internet to build up its engine, but this is something that I always hoped for when it came to code generation.

I had these ideas of somehow feeding it all the source material for a given language, compiler docs, the language docs, and rules, etc, and then being able to describe functions and have it generate the base code for it. Why? because coding for me was a path not taken. i did all the schooling, got a degree, and promptly started working for a hardware company selling its products and making piles of money. Now, 30 years later I dont' know anything about coding and can stillr emember 15 generations ago's codename for the Intel CPU at the time which is frustrating. I've always wanted to build a few different things but in what little spare time I had grasping the idea of event based programming and ObjectiveC/Swift/F#/C# whatever was too much for someone who graduated back when you still put void main(); in the start of your C code and C++ was this new thing that was a funny joke on incrementing a variable.

Now I'd just like to debug a broken Foundry VTT module or a Servarr module that isn't working or broken (RADARR NEEDS TO RENAME FILES AND DIRECTORIES DAMMIT) but i basically ahve to relearn and honestly have not enough time to do it.

User wasn't disabled because his apple card payment was late/failed, user was disabled because his card was rejected for non-payment. When I've had debit cards stolen, i've had services get disabled until I got it fixed. Seems to be digging for conspiracy when there wasn't one, bill didn't get paid, they disabled services. Weird how they handled it though. Apple support has been slacking in recent years compared to the past.

I am resigning effective immediately from my position in CSAIL at MIT. I am doing this due to pressure on MIT and me over a series of misunderstandings and mischaracterizations.

Mission accomplished. Stallman will forever be a pedo or at best linked to pedos. After all... he RESIGNED.

Make them fire you. Never give in to this evil. But what does Stallman know of evil anyway?

He was not as prolific a poster as others back in the day, but I do remember his being more apropos to the goings on at the time (unlike say Jon Katz... whom I think he interviewed once). God speed Roblimo. As you make your way through the unknown... may your grits always be hot, your Natalies always be Portman, your overlords always be robotic, and your clusters always be Beowulf.
