I wouldn’t call it an “admission”, more like random crap. He also “admitted” that California had forest fires because they didn’t use rakes.

IF THEN MAYBE...

When they can do transparent aluminum, I’m in!

edit: yes I know there’s a ceramic material called ALON, which the manufacturer calls transparent aluminum because it contains aluminum oxynitride, but I don’t think that’s what Scotty meant. ALON is about 30-35% aluminum, same as the amount of lead in leaded crystal glass, which isn’t “transparent lead”.

To me it’s weird that people have issues with this. My wife and I, married 35 years, share each other’s locations because if something bad happened we would want to be able to find each other. I don’t even give a second thought to, “…and I can make sure she isn’t cheating on me.”

I just used a free online thing called PDF2Go to split a giant PDF into 4 smaller files. It let me directly download the resulting 4 files without signing up for anything, and they work perfectly on my box (linux mint). Tbh I don’t think the UI is super intuitive but I just googled “How to split a file on pdf2go” and found clear instructions. It has a lot of other tools I have not explored.

Maybe the ultimate answer will turn out to be JUST EAT LESS FUCKING SUGAR.

I avoided this issue by embracing the completely non-controversial “become a contractor” work schedule. When you’re a temp they specifically want you NOT to work overtime without prior authorization - because they have to pay for it. And as a software dev I was always treated identically with employees, except for a few special things like some company meetings and offsite events - which I didn’t want to attend anyway. And I got paid almost twice as much hourly than I would as an employee. Sure, I had to buy my own health insurance and didn’t get paid time off, but when you double your salary those are non-issues. But what about job security? LOL what about layoffs? My job security was that there are always contract jobs everywhere.

Reminder: authority only exists because we let it.

Headling should say, “Incompetent project managers fuck up by not controlling production database access. Oh well.”

To survive the AI age we will need a completely different capitalism model - which I honestly think will happen, but the transition period is guaranteed to be extremely difficult.

When we say “healthcare” we mean caring for the health of healthcare corporations.

It has the potential to do away with chemotherapy, surgery and radiation treatment.

I read that as: Will never reach the market because it threatens a multibillion dollar industry.

But srsly, glioblastoma is a really nasty motherfucker with a very low patient survival rate, so if they’ve really managed to cure it that’s a huge milestone.

No idea. Presumably they expected me to figure out the settings and change it like I did. Or maybe I could have told the Digital Assistant to restart the phone, I dunno.

In Settings you select Power as the function of the Power Button instead of Digital Assistant. Then the power button works like it should.

Tried to restart my fairly new Pixel phone a couple days ago by holding down the power button, but instead of showing the Power menu it prompted me to ask the Digital Assistant something. Excuse me? I don’t remember enabling that. Every other phone I’ve ever had, holding down the power button has always been the way to power down or restart. I had to search Settings to find how to configure the power button to control the power. Or course maybe I could have asked the Digital Assistant - but fuck that.
