I was thinking more adding from outside the visible spectrum. So a flag with the entire electromagnetic spectrum from ~10^-20 m to ~10^17 m

He took the KISS method of advertising/marketing. Slap the brand name on everything you can to squeeze out as much money from the "fan base"as possible

Similar vein: Slaxx. I’m not sure how vampire pants fits into things but boy does it start a conversation about using cheap labor for profit and the cost of life for that profit.

But how else are you going to turn a gang bang into a train?

Flip them and you’ve got essentially humanity’s history

Those same ones who cry 2nd amendment are the ones who got taken.

Unfortunately, the ones who told these idiots that they were idiots are also the same people who want to “take away their guns” and aren’t generally the type to use the 2nd amendment as it was intended. :/

It would be if they didn’t consistently spin the failures onto their defacto opponents and their base willfully taking their word at face value despite actual evidence to the contrary.

What I’d like to become the standard is:

If the question makes it super obvious the asker has zero clue what they’re asking or trying to do, lightly correct and steer them to beginner friendly resources.

If the question is competent but focusing the wrong direction or will lead to a bad habit, essentially, they know just enough to be dangerous but they’re about to be dangerous, more pointed and technical correction and steering them to either articles or better search terms to use.

If it’s a pointed question with the information to show they’ve done the normal information gathering and either need opinions that are beyond the theory or book standard information or they don’t answer the question, answer the question. Ideally also giving sources to back up your answers.

Bonus points if you can do the above without coming across as a dick. Unless they ask to ask. You can be a dick to those people.

In that case, if they succeed, it’s no longer my concern

That doesn’t exactly equate to constantly writing well. I’ve met many engineers and scientists (computer or otherwise) who couldn’t give 2 shits about proper English unless it was specifically for a grade, sending to clients, or publication.

Educated doesn’t mean that you stop writing informally. It just means you’re able to write formally.

If the transcript I’ve seen floating around is accurate, the phrase “this was fairly trivial” absolutely was about how difficult it was to pull off. The lines above and below it talk about super basic social engineering that anyone could do and the hard part of the tool engineering has already been done.

I’ve been saying this for years. Not only that but once legal and in the regular market, companies are held liable for any additives not clearly labeled. No cutting your heroin with fentanyl unless you label it as such (bonus points if you have to give ratios of each ingredient) but aren’t on the hook if someone goes against label usage.

This protects both the consumer and provider.

Similarly, we should fully legalize prostitution. Want to kill the sex trafficking problem? Legalize prostitution, allow the workers to unionize, get legal support, and other securities that the normal blue and white collar workers have.

The good old days of Azureus and Limewire

It’s called the husband stitch and it is exactly as horrid as it seems if not moreso. Hopefully a dying trend.

They’re being called radical Marxists, communists, etc

Hopefully not enough to cover all debts still owed. I want him fully bled dry

They paid him nothing. The auction was for the settlement of debts in bankruptcy court. Basically, the courts seized his assets including Infowars and auctioned them off to cover the outstanding debts owed.

Per NPR: The sale, which still needs to be approved by a bankruptcy judge, includes Jones’ studio and equipment, his lucrative online nutritional supplement store, domain names, customer lists and some of his social media accounts.

So it’ll be fun when all settled

It’s an important distinction, imo. “Everything dies” vs “humans die”

I agree with most everything you said.

Except, the planet will be fine. We’re killing our ability to live on it for sure but the earth will go on even if it’s just microbes for a few million years

Currently in an MSP. It’s all on the company culture as to if it’s shit or not. We’re fully wfh with no plans to move back to the office.

Overtime is never forced. If we have to work through lunch because all hell is breaking loose, we’re practically encouraged to leave an hour early unless the CEO is allowing ot and we want it. No pressure either direction.

If users are rude or generally hard to deal with, manager has our back in dealing with them.

Pay isn’t top dollar but there’s trade-offs
