I’ve only ever had to badge into places, never out.

This is all to backfill unrealized losses banks were carrying that were responsiblish for the bank runs we saw last summer too right?

Have you considered it’s only 2% inflation in this year of our lord 2024? I have no raise and I must scream.

The proliferation of android as a platform has made it too easy for these companies to shit out garbage iot devices that connect to the internet for reasons unintelligible even to God.

It’s a comedy of errors for sure. I remember reading a while ago that the people with the skills and degrees to work these chip fab jobs are getting peeled off to just write javascript for the same or greater pay and a fraction of the effort too. You can’t even just try to break these labor aristocrats because they will just write javascript instead. And the javascript developers shit out labor discipline software. So just like cops they get disproportionate pay to everyone around them for protecting capital.

It’s part of a 10b5-1. Was it premeditated months in advance? Do they just need a quarterly hit of cash to make payments on their yachts? Who is to say?

“There were certainly things we could’ve done to test it and actually fire it. They would’ve been very time-consuming and very costly,” Mike Hansen, the company’s head of navigation systems, told Reuters in an interview on Saturday. “So that was a risk as a company that we acknowledged and took that risk.”

What insane copium to post hoc justify not verifying your multimillion dollar machine works before crashing it.

This is just a gamer (who btw farms montages in low rated btb games) ranting about Trueskill2 based on an out of context paragraph that in context with the rest of the model of skill they are trying to approximate, your teammates’ skill doesn’t really affect your change to win/predicted stats in a given match.

If you want, they have talked about the actual algorithm that then attempts to match players based on their rating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FoG4Jtpebs

It biases towards matches it thinks will be a fair fight between both teams with bounds on the max skill diff between the best and worst players between both teams. And they adjust these bounds with player population throughout the day so you can get into matches quickly. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/truematch/

The core of these bureaucratic machines have intellectually disintegrated. All the incumbents climbed the ranks during “the end of history”, the apex of Amerikkkan power. When it could say whatever and bomb whomever without repercussion. Now these cretins have to deal with the opposite. A world with opposition.

There’s such vitriol in media, which trails White House opinion, for the realist perspective. As foul as those people are, acknowledging the security interest and rationality of other nations is anathema to this generation of leaders.

The Republican party, the more overtly reactionary of the duopoly, after feeding and nurturing a base of football hooligans has become infested with those same people and now openly litigates whether antebellum slavery was a good for the slaves or not.

They already do this through their army and navy esports division.

The number of people who saw squid game and then thought it would be a good idea irl for content is too high.

Your children yearn for the mines. Mine yearn for “uncoerced” contractual work obligations in the mines. We are not the same.

What exactly have demokkkrats done to protect you exactly? They had 2/3 branches of govt which is all that’s required to coup the 3rd. And they did what pray tell? While whining about Roe also sponsored some “pro-life” candidates in elections. Their opposition is dinner theater.

I will be citing Beavis and Butthead v The Commonwealth of Deez Nutz as I was told by the AI it applies.
