I’m not overweight, I’m prepared for the gathering storm.

I’ve worked with three incredible developers who I’d consider 10x: people who can reliably build a solution quickly, or debug problems that go deep into the OS. One would fit your description, one is a mom who shuttles her kid to after school stuff, and the other is a really nice music nerd.

Like the post states, some people are in the right place at the right time: they have the right background and temperament to do really well at their job. They don’t need to be shitty people.

I don’t really get what selling Chrome and Android would accomplish.

There was a leak of Google’s old page ranking algorithm (not PageRank, but how they change the order of results on search) - it looked like they used a bunch of signals from Chrome about the amount of time users spend on a page, how quickly they go back, etc. Chrome gives the search side of the business an advantage.

Conversely, Android feeds a bunch of extra data to the ad business about what people do in real life.

Both products give the rest of Alphabet a significant advantage over their competitors, and make it harder for new entrants to get a foothold.

I’ve got a couple of side projects I’m working on, I’m running a game of Cyberpunk RED, and I always enjoy reading with my kids.

Times are tough.

goddamn CIA

it’s ok she has baby

The stuff you’d include in a movie (fascism, capes, managed democracy, friendly fire, dropships, weird aliens) are the same between the two installments.

That’s missing from Lemmy. 😞

In my experience, it doesn’t need to be on-campus. Just getting to know other students and working/studying with them is enough.

Me: does nothing

Evolution: fuck you

Works for me!

What about chickens? Do they really eat ticks?

Thank you so much. The more you can do now, the less we will all need to do later.

Betcha it’d be a territory or some other underfunded backwater that couldn’t participate in the government.

As a Canadian who wants to avoid all of this: please contact your representatives now and tell them you don’t want any of this. Call all the senators and congress critters and tell them this shit is crazy and needs to stop.

Yeah, Lemmy seems weirdly limited in that respect.

Thanks for providing the links!

Could you provide a link back to where you found it? The name is on there, which is great, but a link makes it easier to find that exact source.
