The top two houses are in LA at the beach, no?
Not sure why, I don’t even live in the US, but I recognize them
- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive” 22 hours ago:
Facts don’t matter anymore, get your ass to the office!
Mostly US companies
- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 2 days ago:
Government that wants to spy on you but can’t directly prohibit encryption, so this is the work around. Prohibit porn, people go for VPN. Oohh, now we have to prohibit VPN which we can’t because its a required tool plus it’s really hard to prohibit… so what else can we do, then? Government backdoor keys ftw!
- Comment on Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck? 3 days ago:
See, there is the problem, if you use a VPN you dont allow Google to locate the best content! Nothing to see here, YouTube is only trying to be helpful here, Google is absolutely not trying to use you as a data nugget to get rich from
- Comment on How do people get rid of or sell stolen jewelry? I ask cause the news says the the Louve thieves can never sell it because it so known? 5 days ago:
Either that, or it also goes through a chop shop and they’ll sell the individual materials for much less than it would be worth
Likely though, I imagine this was a custom order job for some 0.1% asshole
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 1 week ago:
I do wonder…
With most economic crashes, the rich get even richer. This time it’s different, though.
Right now, the top 8 richest men in the world have as much wealth as the bottom 50%. Homelessness world wide is at an all time high, and a huge swath of people can’t afford all the basic necessities anymore.
If an economic crash happens now, will the 99% of the people finally wake up and just TAKE the resources from that 1%, like it or not?
What do billionaires think will happen to them once shit really hits the fan?
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 1 week ago:
Who says companies need to buy their own hardware?
We have datacenters for that, you rent the hardware one way or the other.
I’m saying that nobody should put all their eggs in one basket because if that basket breaks, you’re all fucked.
If you have the need for high availability then you don’t out all your servers in a single datacenter, or with a single provider
If everyone and their mother is with one provider, you’ll first notice that said provider gets expensive pretty quick and you’ll also notice that when shit goes down that half the fucking internet follows.
My services weren’t down, and never have been. I don’t use AWS, because I don’t need it
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 1 week ago:
So your argument is that AWS centralization is good because Amazon is a good provider?
You do understand that they’re are loads of providers out there that are perfectly stable, but that are not Amazon?
I’ve never used it because I know how to manage a server, something you might want to expect from IT personnel that does development for companies, but there days let’s just ask Amazon todo it for us, we’re too lazy
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 1 week ago:
You understand that that has nothing to do with this? So there are shitty providers out there, find a good one that is not “just amazon”
- Comment on Ex PlayStation exec says Sony can't keep "increasing the graphics power" with new consoles after tech plateau, but PS5 has already "made almost every game a better game" 1 week ago:
I want a game that upon release is 70% finished
But I also even more want what you just said
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 1 week ago:
Eeehh, you’re literally suggesting that AWS added to the general stability and dependability of the internet in general
You have NO idea what you’re talking about
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 1 week ago:
It’s so funny to see that this just keeps happening over and over and nobody seems to be learning any lessons at all
- Comment on Plastic Bag Makers to Pay California $1.7 Million for False Recycling Claims 1 week ago:
And jail times?
If I make false claims like that, I’ll go to jail, so where are the jail times for this in charge, the CEO, etc?
- Comment on Could rising sea levels caused by climate change be thwarted by digging a big hole at the bottom of the sea? 1 week ago:
Well yeah, but you’d need to dig a crazy huge hole for that, probably the size of multiple mountains

- Comment on Your son has inadvertently sent my gorgeous granddaugther an appalling picture 1 week ago:
That is hilarious but I can’t escape the feeling that there is some unchecked mental health issue going on there, that behavior hasn’t been normal since before Downton Abbey times
- Comment on If a girl asks you if you're big, are you supposed to lie or not? 1 week ago:
If asked, likely it’s that they want access?
I’d just be truthful
- Comment on World would be a better place 1 week ago:
Not really, the life on Venus thing was so far from reality that it might as well have been a religious idea
- Comment on TIL: Employers in the USA Have Stolen Over $50 Trillion From Workers Since 1975 2 weeks ago:
Propaganda indeed, see fox News et. al.
- Comment on What options of resistance are programmers creating to not submit to AI culture? 2 weeks ago:
I am in IT. CTO, yet also still doing development
Anyone that would deliver a pure AI project I would reject immediately and have them first look at what the hell it is
That is the biggest issue with AI, people only use it for ready to go solutions. Nobody checks what comes out of it
I use AI in my IDE exactly like you mentioned; it gives me a wrong answer (because of course) and even though the answer is wrong, it might give me a new idea. That’s fine.
The problem is ready to go idiots that will just blindly trust AI, ie, the 90% of humans on this world
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 2 weeks ago:
Gobbling Tylenol
Uh huh.
Gobbling means at least a good handful, right?
Acetaminophen has a rather steep curve where it gets toxic. A standard tablet is 500mg. I sometimes take a double at 1000mg, yet the daily recommended max dose is 4000, only four times that, after which toxic effects start coming. That’s 8 tablets
This woman, if she exists at all, was likely “gobbling” a single tablet, which is pretty much harmless
- Comment on Why does the GOP think “ANTIFA” is bad? 2 weeks ago:
Fascists don’t believe that fascism is bad.
And I guess that’s correct when you’re a narcissistic psychopath whose in charge.

- Comment on Slightly Unfair 2 weeks ago:
Sooooo <citation required>
You have a very specific and detailed story. I heard of the story long ago, initially, and It’s not that no don’t believe you, I want to, but it be nice to see a first source where this came from

That’s not small, that smol
