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

Trump sucks but occasionally his hamfisted ire is aimed at reasonable targets. The H1B system has been pretty terrible for workers for a long time. Employers use H1Bs to overwork and underpay migrant workers, using the serious disruption of losing visa status as a bargaining chip, while depressing the wages of permanent residents.

I don't have much faith that Trump will actually execute this move as advertised without corruptly benefiting himself or some wealthy donor, but on its face I support it.

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]


It's right there in the ancient [2] webcomic you linked. I know, I know, IHBT, IHL. HAND.

I wish. That would be grand!

Everyone gathers to watch the securitybots fall down and violently flail around trying to right themselves.
Meanwhile, while the crowd is distracted, I pick their pockets.

Truly a golden age of law and order.

We really shouldn't encourage that type of behaviour. That's how you get more of it.

I doubt these purported robotaxis are capable of dealing with I-4 in the daily 3PM toad strangler.

Hey, people pay good money for non-radioactive materials!

I was going to notify you that you have a cranky Scottsman here wanting a word with you, but then I double-checked, and for some reason a thousand Watts is a kilowatt. But then why is it abbreviated kW? WTF world? Please fix.
And no, I am not a train fancier. Well, any more than anybody else.

"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.

What is happening in Russia right now is what you get if you allow unrestricted drone activity. Of course the Chinese authorities don't want that to happen.
