How the fuck does a chat program justify a workforce of one thousand employees in the first place?! How do they expect to ever get in the green when they’re spending that much money on staff?
Is their entire business model to just endlessly pull in V.C. money and “grow” until they can’t get investors on board anymore? Actually, don’t answer that one, I assume that’s how almost every tech company works these days, and at some point it’s all going to crash.
Ah, there it is. Say it louder for those at 99 IQ in the back that you’re lumping in with this guy. That is, if you think they’re even smart enough to be able to understand you in the first place.
And it wasn’t a question you posed at all- it was a generalised statement that you consider half the population to be “dumb”, which, in a roundabout way, is where I’ve been going with this.
Edit: I see Lemmy is exactly the same as Reddit - full of so-called intellectuals that think of themselves as better then the average person, and that intellect is the sole barometer of usefulness in society. Keep downvoting me while thinking yourselves superior, fucking cowards.
You’re the one that brought up IQ in the first place, you can’t blame me for engaging on that.
It’s hard to detect a joke when it doesn’t exist in the first place.
Approximately half the people in the world have an IQ in the double digit range. IQ literally has its mean at 100 for a given population. I don’t think I understand what you’re getting at there.
‘List’ is the correct abstract term for any data structure that holds a given number of values in an order, regardless of the implementation. So Python’s List, or C++'s Array or Vector, or a Linked List are all considered lists in the abstract sense.
The burden of liability will then fall on the media company, which can then be sued for not carrying out due dilligance in reporting.
Because that’s called Libel and is very much illegal in practically any country on earth - and depending on the country it’s either easy or trivial to put forth and win a case of libel in court, since it’s the onus of the defendant to prove what they said was entirely true, and “just trust me and this actress I hired, bro” doesn’t cut it.
One day, one of these stunts he pulls is going to end up ruining whatever company he does it in, and I’m all here for it. Though we’ll probably never know since he’ll just blame it on something / someone else and his little muskettes will follow along.
Spoiler: OP works for Blizzard.
I see it as a shop manager doing what the police and the thief’s parents never did and actually punishing him for breaking the law. We’re not talking about a poor guy trying to steal some food to get by, he’s taking thousands of dollars worth of behind-the-counter merchandise to make a profit for himself. You probably think “oh well they have insurance” but when the insurance company pay out thousands for the lost merchandise, who do you think picks up the bill? The 7-11 does. Who do they pass that bill on to? The paying customer. So theft from this shop is theft from everyone who legitimately uses this shop. Then when those people see that prices here are double what they are at the supermarket, they don’t shop here anymore, the store closes and the community is out of another resource.
The way I see it, the shopkeepers are not bootlickers at all, they’re ensuring a community resource isn’t lost, along with their own jobs, and that profiteering theves think twice about trying to do this again.
Isn’t this the same paper that has been linked here multiple times in the past week? I can’t see anything new on there that wasn’t reported this time last week.
Most of Dylan’s talks are good, but I liked this one in particular due to it talking about such a relatively old technology and how we’ve gotten used to some arbetary rules that aren’t in the spec. I feel like it does say that we should be careful with the rules we put in place for things like protocols, since sometimes tougher constraints lead to a less ambiguous experience for users and maintainers.
I personally switched back to Firefox after 13 years earlier this year and was surprised just how easy it was. All my main extensions exist on Firefox and it gave me an opportunity to remove some extension bloat at the same time. Highly recommend.
Nah, the site you’re referring to still works from the UK.
