The average office worker has a good chance of a complete meltdown if an icon on their desktop is moved. Government and business are not going to move to Linux on the desktop.
I fully recognize the absurdity of this, particularly in an era when a huge number of office jobs are basically just interacting with a web browser. I’ve just spent enough time writing software for “regular folks” to see why it’s not going to happen.
Specifically, his Entenmann’s Donuts Era.
Over here, it came out that the city had an NDA with the data center developer. How can you possibly have effective representative democracy when you don’t know what your representative is agreeing to?! It’s not like it’s national security, it’s a damn data center!
Concerns are heightened as one U.S. city has been without power for more than a week.
WHAT CITY?! Is it in the paywalled part of the article? Is it pure engagement bait? This news site is garbage.
Luckily, I know something that would probably help her get over the trauma…

“Traffic bollards” or “flexible bollards” seem to be the terms for this type of bollard. They’re intended to guide traffic, rather than to stop it dead as a security measure.
I feel like that boils down to “I want a chart, but in words instead of visualization.”
Forward head syndrome. 0/10. Would not bang.

From what I’ve seen, it’s CRT televisions that are sought after by vintage gamers, not out-of-date computer monitors. There were so many truly awful CRT computer monitors out there before LCDs came around. I’m aware that there were plenty of cheap, low-quality LCDs, too, I just want to drive home the point about all the awful, .41 dot-pitch, flickering SVGA monitors with inconsistent, blotchy color that roamed the earth in the before times (i.e. the 90s).
Things like the 40 year old computer monitors have a negative value, unless they’re something special like a 21" Trinitron or an IBM T220/221.
Unless the furniture and furnishings are of a sought-after style (e.g. Art Deco), they’re basically worthless.
I sold most of my belongings back in 2009. Furniture and beds had basically zero value. A solid wood table retained decent value. Electronics were worthless unless they were vintage collectable (e.g. Rotel amplifier). eBay was the best place to sell things because people are committed. Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace are a huge time-suck because you get so many flakes, low-ballers, and tire-kickers.
That’s better, but you’re still just defining things such that you have to be correct.
Humans spend 90% of their time just predicting the next token. All we need is to mix in a little bit more reasoning and bam, AGI!
See how annoying and hollow that rhetorical technique is?
The fact is that we have no idea whatsoever. We might reach AGI next week. We might never reach AGI. The Chinese government might be sitting on AGI right now. We have no idea, and this is completely new territory that has caused us to question our very understanding of intelligence.
Wow, what a solid argument you’ve made. It definitely doesn’t reek of someone trying to hype themselves up in the face of an unknown threat.
In the 60s, 70s and 80s consumers had the money to mess around with colors on a whim.
Maybe rich people did. This is a really wild take and I don’t think it’s grounded in reality at all.
Am I correct in my understanding that Ukraine is targeting Wildberries because they were distributing parts used to manufacturer drones for warfare? And that these are all warehouses, not (directly) related to manufacturing?
I worked with some former Microsoft people. It was ridiculous. So much drama. They were constantly pushing initiatives that made no sense. They cared more about their weird culture than they did about making great products. I think that Ballmer broke Microsoft. His endless stacked-ranking made people focus on corporate politics and resume padding over quality.
It absolutely blows my mind that no world leader has taken the opportunity, during one of these photo sessions, to simply punch the orange idiot right in the nose. I can think of no human being more in need of such a tune-up.
