  Yes. I’m not sure she even sold anything (honestly, I didn’t look at it close enough to discover at the time). But I’m pretty sure she is in jail for fucking he investors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ahead of her time⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  She took millions of investment to make a company that sells “do it at home” blood tests. She never could actually do the tests work, but was trying to sell them anyway, and taking more money by telling investors they worked.

  • I can’t use this app!!!

  • Ok, what app can you use?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First Steps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Hum… Can Glycon help me finish my projects?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨challenge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You are better with some plastic, but any flexible material will do. Glue will only make you life harder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One more internet meme⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  for some reason

  You mean things tend to fail at the highly redundant eventually consistent format-agnostic global distributed database and not on the stateless data transformers?

  Who could have guessed?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One more internet meme⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The goal is to slow the fall down so people can demolish it safely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it gay to have pleasurable sex with your wife?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, differently from the movie, she can always “unchoose”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just seen the latest American Opinion polls.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  so they assume that Americans on the right would feel the same way

  Hum… They seem to be reacting quite strongly to finding out their leader is a hypocrite.

  They just care about him being a hypocrite on different things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when Valve releases a phone⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, if they get any market share in phones, that will mean the phone market will be less of a monopoly, not more.

  And yes, they are a monopoly in gaming. They haven’t exploited that monopoly yet, but as companies go, it’s just a matter of time until something happens and changes that. That doesn’t make them getting into phones bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tell us the truth Donny. ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no, that’s getting way too disingenuous for my taste.

  The entire problem with what Trump did is because he run a homophobic campaign and is supported by a homophobic voter base. The entire reason Putin having photos is an issue is because it can destroy his entire political life. Every single person knows that. There’s no “in a free, liberal society” rationalizing here, Trump is not supported by people that believe in a free, liberal society.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tell us the truth Donny. ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You should worry if Putin has the photos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scandal⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I imagine there’s something about Clinton on the Epstein emails, like everybody expects. But I’m also out of the loop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can do anything at Zombocom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, by “reversed” I meant that the cable has pins, and the computer has slots, what is the inverse of serial. Not that it’s upside down.

  You can’t plug a serial cable in it and make it work, no matter how much force you apply. You can probably do the opposite, and plug a VGA cable on the serial port with the exact right amount of force, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can do anything at Zombocom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ouch, I just assumed it was the serial port and didn’t even look how it’s reversed. There must be all kinds of fun things you can do by hand-writing VGA data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just how?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I hereby propose we make a workforce to rename all the stuff named after Euler.

  It’s just horrible. What’s the difference between Euler’s relation and Euler’s ratio? What about Euler’s rule and Euler’s method? Do all of those only name a single thing? Who knows? Why does Google just replace half of them by their preferred Euler named stuff? Who knows?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WHAT IF WHAT IF⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As I understand it, the data there is the histogram of z-value observed by some census of published papers.

  They should make a normal curve, but the publishing process is biased.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨algorithm alignment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  By virtue of being math, it has to be mechanism-pure.

  That’s what math is all about.

  Also, a neural network described mathematically is mechanism-pure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The heat... I mean the cold... well, it’s palpable!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I dunno. I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody took the time to invent fuzzy measurement unities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goodnight sweet prince⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but if you shoot the airfryer, you won’t have an airfryer anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨turing completeness⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  it does not make you conscious

  That wasn’t obvious at all until a few years ago.

  Anyway, I do think Turing would put as much importance on the Turing test as the meme implies. But it really looked like it predicted intelligence until we got there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Research shows research is the leading cause of research⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is further research needed?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ain't no one breaking in⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder what goes through a person’s mind as they solder that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So much...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  lot of propellant and oxidizer

  You can only realistically get close to one of them that way.

  You are better off studying plasma containment fusion. And that’s a fuckton of math.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2³² will get interesting...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  With everybody tied up before the 34th track, who exactly is there to push the lever?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You just had to ask that question⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “I’m going to do this unless I hear otherwise”

  Don’t. We need to discuss it. I’m setting a meeting Monday morning with the 4 involved departments so we can settle that down. Is 9 to 5 ok for you or do you think we will need more time?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Y'all seem to have lost track of the correct response to people crying about dead baddies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You are not filthy rich if you depend on a salary. And that’s not FU money basically anywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chaotic Evil⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  3.0 and 2.0 are the same, aren’t they?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My collection is growing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t have a dozen 1.5mm hex wrenchs, is you life even worth living?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are computer chips designed?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In a high-level, you don’t design them anymore. You write them, in code. The compiler turns your code into the chip masks, and has an optimizer that will mangle the hell out of the relatively simple stuff you wrote.

  In a lower level, that compilation is not really done automatically, and people will intervene in lots of places, and AFAIK, how people divide it and interact with it are well guarded secrets from the chip maker.
