"There are scales right over there"

I remember this being discussed at the beginning, but sadly we live in the dumbest timeline :(

Measuring economic wealth by GDP is flawed. Clive Lewis MP has warned us of this.

Now the UN chief warns the same.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

"What are you *actually* changing?"

Mine (maybe correctly) has me in the middle of nowhere :D

So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh

I love this one!

Hmm.

I am NOT insulting this woman's physical appearance but I AM saying there is not one ounce of light or humanity behind her eyes

This seems important

Well well well

The bit the CEO doesn't hear is that building compilers is the easy part of creating and evolving a general-purpose programming language :-)

Always wondered if capitalist rapper Jay-Z was secretly a CIA plant, and, well, this is not teaching me the right lessons about paranoia

I remember @gribbly.org saying if he had kids their music would never be able to offend him because of the crazy stuff he listened to, but now I see how there might be a possibility he hadn't considered.

The sad part is, it's presumably trained on a few C compiler implementations but can't accurately regurgitate them.

Funny they mention the dark web...

Queensland government strikes deal with mining giant to defer coal royalties The government has promised every deferred dollar will be repaid with interest by Bravus, formerly known as Adani, but won't reveal details, such as when the money will be paid.

Months after winning a surprisingly close election, the LNP abandoned the Labor government's legal action agaisnt Adani over unpaid royalties.

In return, Adani would invest $50 million...in its own mine.

This sounded crazy at the time and now it looks crooked.

Which we'll do by training our bots on the world's average code as well as ignoring architectural and design skills.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Zero respect for any Labor minister unless Herzog is arrested on the tarmac.

Yes, and even more horrifying was the significant prospect of fame *without* money. Quit the band a couple of weeks before the national tour, and a few days later a guy I played basketball with asked if he'd seen me on Video Hits. Dyed my hair from pop-act blue back to black a couple of hours later.

The main conclusion I have come to after learning the teachings of Subud, the Maharishi, Scientology, Gurdjieff, the Nation of Islam, Meher Baba, Aleister Crowley, Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, and Christian Science is that owning a guitar must turn off your brain somehow.

Is there a minor conclusion that lots of the right drugs can make dumb things sound more sensible than they are?

When my band's single was to be released, I said to my 18 y.o. housemate that I (27 at the time) wasn't sure I wanted to be famous. He asked "Why wouldn't you want to be famous?". Explanation followed, plus details of how the industry exploited musicians who, like him, hadn't thought it through.
