How much do you guys think that is, assuming it’s all 100 USD bills? 3000 USD?

Why does he not say what his bachelor’s degree is in? It seems highly relevant

The Patrick Webb (@Patrickwebb) guy on twitter only links to a publication called “Leading Report” who also doesn’t provide a reference.

Your instincts were spot on.
- Comment on Where has the "www." gone? 1 week ago:
The A record is the record in a DNS entry that contains the IPv4 address to which you wish to map the name in general.
There are various others, for example the AAAA record is the one that contains the IPv6 address, the MX record is the one that contains the name of your mail server, the NS record contains the name of your nameserver, the SOA record has refresh timers and contact information for the zone admin, RRSIG records have cryptographic signatures proving authenticity of various other bits.
Another interesting one in this context would be CNAME, there you can put the canonical name you’d like the user to look up instead of the one they were asking for. So you can leave out the A and AAAA, and put in a CNAME instead if you want to tell the user to look somewhere else.
For example you can put in the DNS entry for www.example.com a CNAME record containing “example.com”. Now if a user comes asking for the A record of www.example.com, they will find the CNAME instead and know that they are supposed to look at the A record of example.com instead, because there isn’t a separate IPv4 address specifically for www.example.com.
- Comment on Where has the "www." gone? 1 week ago:
Back when people still hosted their own email and web pages and domain controllers etc, it was more common to break it out into subdomains. The www subdomain was for the web stuff that the webmaster would administer. Nowadays everything is outsourced, and you just point your main domain ar whatever webhosting company you’re using.
But it was always possible to have a normal A record on your main domain and have a webserver listen to its port 80.
I guess at some point everybody got so used to the world wide web just being there and every business being on it, that using the cool alliteration didn’t feel necessary anymore.
- Comment on A Majority of Americans Now Support Seizing Wealth From AI Industry 1 week ago:
I don’t think there is any wealth there, just undeserved trust that allows them to raise money through debt.
If you seize that, then the debtors will come calling for higher risk premium and the venture implodes - sooner than they otherwise would.
So maybe it is a good idea anyway.
- Comment on Alternative medicine 1 week ago:
I knew as I was writing it that the term was bad, but couldn’t think of a good one. I meant layman, or something equivalent just for the field of medical science instead of law :-)
- Comment on Alternative medicine 1 week ago:
Its really helpful for treating rosacea (for which it is approved by the fda as a topical prescription drug, under the name soolantra)
Interesting as fuck. Not something you’d expect as an outsider.

It doesn’t say whether programmer is he they or she
I hear it’s a pipeline anyway
- Comment on Anon works in an office 1 week ago:
After going around and around with them for 4+ calls and realizing we were right there, I just walked over on my lunch break, got hired as their helpdesk, walked back, quit
What made you switch over? Better conditions? Or just that the job sounded more interesting?
- Comment on SpaceX stock drops to a new low and loses $1 trillion in value in a month 1 week ago:
Non-voting common stock is a scam pulled by these fucking billionaire founders to reduce public participation, and concentrate their power, even as they use other’s money for their pet projects.
If a company just needs to take up money for an investment, it can issue bonds. Then it gives up no control, but enters into a fair agreement with someone loaning them capital at fixed rates, with no pretense of ownership.
If they sell shares, that is supposed to represent partial ownership and allow all the owners to collectively decide on strategy. It also brings with it the right to recall board members who go insane, like Musk or Zuckerberg. To prevent that these scumbags issue non-voting stock, or stock that has such reduced voting rights as to be essentially useless. Like SpaceX recently, all the IPO shares (class A) carry a tenth of the voting rights compared to the ones they kept (class B).

No I’m just pointing out that your view on who should morally control the company is wrong from the start.
- Comment on SpaceX stock drops to a new low and loses $1 trillion in value in a month 2 weeks ago:
i were to own a public company
It is my company
No, by definition it is not, if you sell part of it to the public and make it a public company.
- Comment on Finally HR does something right 2 weeks ago:
Does this person know what a break is? Not keeping any momentum going is exactly the point of it. Resting regenerates your mental capacities. A lunch break is not just for calorie intake.
- Comment on How often is normal to masturbate? 2 weeks ago:
I think it averages out to once a day, maybe once and a half.
On weekdays mostly in the evening, sometimes in the morning. On the weekends often twice a day. Sometimes three or even four a day, but that happens only if I’m using toys, just manually it feels a bit raw after two.

- Comment on We are all in the same boat 2 weeks ago:
The correct method has everyone pulling in the same direction like in this schema:
If they all pull, then the oars move through the water to the left, thereby propelling the ship to the right.
In contrast, in the post, everyone pulling exerts a force that is counter clockwise around the vertical axis of the ship.

Slop. Real rowers weren’t set up to spin the ship in circles.

- Comment on How do I deal with children following me around in video games? 4 weeks ago:
I think you should try stating your wishes, and then sticking with them. It worked for me before, when I was also struggling with a similar thing, thought it was needy grownups, instead of kids.
If you say things like “not right now”, “I’m doing x currently”, “I can’t because I’m busy”, this signals to them that they need to wait, and you will be available later. And as they get impatient they will ask you again. This isn’t what you want.
If you say “sorry, today I would like to play alone” they will possibly be more disappointed that they don’t get you at all, but at least they will know not to expect your availability and they can hopefully make their own fun. It’s sort of like ripping off the band-aid. It’s more uncomfortable for you to say it this way, and will hurt them more to hear, but it’s better for everyone involved in the long run.
I used to be evasive with my adult gaming friends, like “I’m not sure I’ll be online today” and “I might come on later”, sometimes while hiding my steam and discord status and playing alone. But it had the same effect you’re describing. These days I just tell them, “Sorry I’m too tired”, or “Sorry I feel like playing a single player game today”. It’s miles better, and I don’t have to keep lying.
- Comment on How do I deal with children following me around in video games? 4 weeks ago:
Just to make sure have you actually tried turning them down? Even if they are kids you’re allowed to say no.
Like "No, sorry, I want to do my own thing alone, tonight?

- Comment on I've been using this simple trick to keep cool in the heat wave (UK) 5 weeks ago:
while preventing outside air from getting in
If that worked you’d slowly turn your dwelling into a vacuum chamber :-)
The same volume of air will enter your home in one way or the other, the important bit is that it’s cooler than the exhausted air. In particular you don’t want the hot exhaust to recirculate back in.
Ideally you’d get medium warm air from another room into yours, and warm outside air into an unoccupied room.

The have a whole thing about doing their own pronunciations because using the original one from the language they are borrowing from is apparently either pretentious or racist depending on how superior they feel.

Different idea, how about we get the cars out of the way of the children again, and also shun LLMs?

- Comment on Is it safe to use a non-gaming computer for light gaming? 1 month ago:
Safe? Yes.
It’s not like the thing will break if you demand a lot from it. At the very worst, if even throttling doesn’t help the computer to regulate temperature, what you will experience is an emergency shutdown.
