There was actually a benefit to being behind the curve on this.

The scheduling is done on modern machines, the actual flight control console is a glorified comms station with a very beefy audio recorder.

It’s built to last, and to be as reliable as possible, while still being repairable by a skilled technician.

Any update needs to be as solid and reliable as what it replaces. That’s the key, not being advanced or some shit.

Well, the Binance hack took a grand total of 20 minutes, so the hackers had time to look at more than one site.

The difference is, polymarket is a betting app in a saturated space.

It provides no useful service, just betting.

You’re skipping a lot of what made those companies happen.

Google was actually good once. They had a clean, usable website in an era of pop-ups and overused animated GIFS. Also, their search actually worked. They also had a bunch of cool programs and tools that they’ve since killed.

Facebook was also sort of good. But not really. Most of that was a sort of first mover advantage. Myspace existed, but didn’t catch on, and then Facebook comes along, and it has a bunch of free games (that steal all your data). Since Facebook was most people’s first social media, and their family’s first social media, they get locked in.

Bill Gates’ Mom was on the board of directors at IBM and forced the company to use her son’s OS.

Except it isn’t.

Bad ad campaign have destroyed brands in the past, hope it happens here.

I did see data that said a bunch of known disinformation bots were down for a few hours, but have mostly spun back up in other data centers.

I’ll have to see if I can find it again.

The only manager whose violent death would change Amazon, is Bezos.

The problem with tankies specifically is that they cheer when their authoritarians do shit, like when they cheered in 1956, and again in 1989.

Both times tanks were rolled out to literally crush left wing uprisings against the pretend leftwing governments.

They cheer for Russia invading its neighbors.

At least most of us in the west are horrified about the shit our governments are doing. Tankies just cheer.

Not just refusing to remove disinformation, but also actively removing the accounts of Lula supporters and for a brief time Lula’s official campaign account.

All because Zuck specifically hired Joel Kaplan in 2009 to “engender closer ties to conservatives”. Joel Kaplan, who as a Bush Lawyer, participated in the Brooks Brothers riot of 2000, which stopped the recount in Florida, and then was rewarded with a Bush Whitehouse position.

And tanking the entire economy is the process.

Also, Larry Ellison (who can fuck right off) has leaned on his Oracle stock to fiance the buyout of all the media companies he’s gobbling up to build yet another right wing propaganda ecosystem.

No crucifixion necessary, I’d just tell you that it’s worth watching more of them. They’re all very well made, and well made art is worth experiencing from time to time.

they wouldn’t sign such stupid deals for no reason.

Greed. The reason was greed. They bought into the hype and thought they could print money.

And all the tech companies are doing it, Oracle was just the sick man of the bunch, and will be the first to fall, dragging the rest down with them.

All because they’re offloading trillions in debt to special purpose vehicles, the same thing that tanked Enron, the difference is that Enron, with $400 million in debt, was lying about it, and the current tech companies doing the exact same shit, are disclosing the debt legally, but still hiding it in the fine print of their disclosures.

The debt will still crash the economy, but at least it’s out in the open?

I keep wanting to get more into music, but can never find the time/motivation to practice my scales.

I also tend to pick an instrument and abandon it every few years. I have nieces and nephews who occasionally get a second hand instrument.

But he first revealed himself to the military and got their approval, so it’s all okay.

You know, instead of being seen day in and out saving people from the everyday dangers of living in a city. Gaining a groundswell of acceptance as the elite “Lex Luthor” plot his destruction.

The type of loss is important. The original version was Pa Kent dying from a heart attack or stroke or similar.

This teaches Clark the important lesson that despite all his power, there are people he cannot save. He decides to try anyway.

That scene teaches the exact opposite lesson. That having the power to save someone doesn’t mean you should.

Later in the movie Superman kills thousands of people in order to murder one guy.

My father watched the snowcaps melt off the mountains, and still supports the sort of people who want more drilling.

I make a nice bacon and lentils soup.

The simple version is bacon, onion, lemon juice, veggie stock, and lentils.

The complex version just adds more veggies, and maybe some whole cherry tomatoes thrown in a few minutes before the end. You then get little pops of tomato flavor.

Tomato soup is good, but have you heard the good news of creamy potato soup?

Days are shorter than months, which are shorter than years.

Makes sense to go with smallest to largest.

See, my dating tip is the exact opposite.
