‘scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value’
Checks corpo-speak to English dictionary:
Lasting value is cash: Scale plan: First down, drastically, then bisect as many times as possible, then sell off the chunks to the highest bidders.

Using it for more than text gets to be a bit arduous. I was going to make us a matrix instance, but honestly, we kinda love it when slack explodes and we go back tot he dark ages

When your job has communities that spring up around it, you either get there first, where you can work with the users and help steer, or just sheepishly join in the community efforts.

I had to run a server for work. It was right after they put in boosts. At the time, I had to buy my own fucking boosts one at a time.
The whole platform only exists because they made the api easy enough that people could build on it.

Naw, they assume they can tie all your conversations to some nexus realid and sell all your groups, likes, and dislikes for cash.

There are dodgy alternatives that require nothing of the sort. :)
- Comment on We really need to bring back the 70s conversation pits 4 days ago:
We used to put indoor koi ponds in houses too.
From the pit standpoint, you could excavate the whole thing, put a sump in then build it two-level.
There’s always a way, it’s just not usually cheap.
- Comment on Start-up idea 4 days ago:
So, this is TOTALLY doable with two caveats:
-
For most things, you’re going to need a variance on high-efficiency and pollution laws. Those old appliances weren’t sipping water and electricity, and their refrigeration cycles threw out tons of waste heat and used refrigerants that were super rough on the atmosphere.
-
They’re going to cost 3 times as much as a current appliance. Those heavy metal fridges were expensive back in the day, they were equialent to thousands of dollars today with shitty freezers and manual defrosting. Cast metal and shipping are disproportionately more expensive than the used to be.

I just pulled it from
54% of adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level (20% are below 5th-grade level).
If we looped in science deniers, climage deniers, flat earthers and chemtrails it could go quite high, but that’s a difficult task as many of those overlap in the <6th grade venn diagram.

I’m fully addicted to my phone, but, if I try to watch it in bed… I’ll be laying on it in 20 minutes. Don’t know what it is, I hit the bed, I pass the fuck out. pretty sure it could be on fire and i’d just die there.

True, if you already had half an onion on bread, you probably understood the assignment. Arguably, you might break up more of the cell walls in the prep work, but the cooking probably would have tamed it all a bit.
- Comment on Why I gave up electronics club 1 week ago:
My electronics teacher weathered it pretty well.
This is a basic circuit. These are how the electric and magnetic fields work. Oh and Franklin fucked up a long time ago, made a guess, and he guessed wrong. So, realistically, electrons flow from negative to positive, and the holes they leave behind flow from positive to negative. (he had already covered PN junctions so it scanned) It doesn’t change the math or anything, just know that electron flow is negative to positive and that’s the last you’ll hear of it. And we all said that’s dumb. And now, in my life, this is like the 5rd time I’ve talked about it since I learned it in 1992.
- Comment on You are allowed flavor 1 week ago:
9/10 for ingredients
2/10 for prep/cooking
Cut that onion in half to make 2 disks, then quarter those, add just enough water to steam, cover and cook until soft or the water steams away, add butter and sautee until the onions are medium brown. Cube the cheese and add to the onions, stir until melted, add a pinch of flour, maybe a crushed and minced clove of garlic and cook for another minute, salt and pepper to taste. Butter and toast the inside of the roll spread the cheese and onion mixture.
Consider taking an antacid if you can’t handle garlic and onion.
- Comment on Why I gave up electronics club 1 week ago:
So, it doesn’t actually change anything; everything still works the same.
But textbooks need to be thrown away and remade, every circuit diagram, every electrical engineering plan, decades of research and research papers have to be combed and corrected, or accept that they’re wrong.
While technically possible, it would create colossal risk and unending chaos and It’s environmentally unsound, for something that doesn’t change anything in the end.
Lazy is not checking your mail.
Refusing to turn reality on its head for a null change in the end is something else entirely.

unfortunately the game industry is full of that crap, that’s why unions are starting to pop up.
It’s basically contract gigs. Someone has a hit on their hands, so they have unlimited cash to get it out the door, someone else’s title does poorly in focus groups, they companies just shed their mid tier workers and they hop company to company

^^^ This is exactly how it works.
You ‘can’ bootstrap an indie with an Artist and a Dev, but they need to be the best ever at their job and be able to wear a ton of hats, work for nothing and somehow manage to never burn out. The vast majority of games that run that way never see the light of day.

Short answer: yes.
Long answer: It’s like a 1:100 shot to make something even remotely profitable. You need to pay a team of people (with families sometimes) enough money to eat/pay rent/live long enough to release a game, which could be a year or two. Even with good management and a decent designer it’s a roll of the dice.
