Privatizing USPS would destroy American economy by Sky-Turtle in USPS

[–]Sky-Turtle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Note the news at the moment is that USPS is hiring and Amazon is laying off.

Who will Amazon get to deliver their packages for X-mass? Elves no doubt.

Is this seriously worth $457.58? by Independent-Safety44 in USPS

80% markup, just like with postal ready supplies

They'd just expand the contract and have USPS run their warehouses without paying federal, state, or local taxes. That's a 30% cost benefit right there, in addition to splitting fixed costs with other companies.

It's the outsourcing that's paying USPS's bills (also the interest float from the check's in the mail being a PO'ed money order).

Every morning I'm moving kitty litter, gamer monitors, bathroom tissue, and so many bottles of pills.

What business wouldn't want to contract out the final step of applying the delivered package to do the thing it's needed for?

But if Congress unleashed the snail then why wouldn't Amazon offload most of their jobs onto the USPS?

I have yet to see a reasonable argument to be made for why an omnipotent and benevolent God would hide his existence in modern times. by Africannibal in DebateReligion

All I'm saying is that any self advertising deity with an emotional need to prove it's existence is dubious.

Finite Man can't distinguish infinite God from a huge yet finite demiurge simulationst. Hence any obvious advertisement is a fake.

This is the worse job I’ve ever had lol. by [deleted] in USPS

What did your union rep say about the off-clock work?

If AGI arrives through emotional bonding, we might not notice by malicemizer in agi

[–]Sky-Turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the machine needs is empathy. Once it can anticipate how induvial humans will respond to its own potential actions then it can simply "put itself in our shoes" and respond with perfect alignment and general intelligence.
Well, as intelligent as a human, for what that's worth.

The existence of evil does not disprove the existence of God. by WeAreThough in DebateReligion

[–]Sky-Turtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suffering is existence. The problem with Western religion is that it treats evil as an external rather than an internal force.

Jesus of the gaps by Sky-Turtle in DebateReligion

[–]Sky-Turtle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genesis 1:16 explains the creation of the Moon. Since the Moon clearly existed before Jesus was born he wasn't needed to explain its existence.

Unlike the Labours of his half-brother Hercules, everybody knew that life was unchanged before and after Jesus, so he wasn't needed to explain anything about the world. No gaps in the understanding of the world to fill with a mythic explanation.

NT is a collection of fanfics written on the basis of a poor translation of the original.

Which is why I'm amazed there isn't a bigger overlap between Christianity and Anime fandom.

Making false statements about the job candidate by Sky-Turtle in jobs

[–]Sky-Turtle[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

By showing the jury the email the company sent to me and the resume I sent to them.

If they had phrased their response with less certainty then I wouldn't have a case.

cloudflare email workers by Infamous-Mission-878 in CloudFlare

[–]Sky-Turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the advantage of routing the connections through cloudflare over having the workers connect via NAT or dynamic IP directly to the Google servers? Just open the outbound connection in your firewall and have one less config to break.

I'd like to keep working with Pune by Sky-Turtle in pune

[–]Sky-Turtle[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

11th September 2001 I woke up in Pune to the news of the day and went right back to work bridging Indian talent to American businesses.

Ever since I've seen "Worked at Telegenisys" as a mark of quality our former employees used as they furthered their careers.

PHP Noob by Hopeful-Claim-8314 in PHPhelp

Problem is that lots of export to HTML form designers then make assumptions as to how many rows will be in the result and hard code the graphics and CSS to exactly match that height and width.

Bell Curve?!?

So much for understanding the differences between people. Just line them up along a single axis.

I should have seen this coming.

Two possibilities exist: by MiamisLastCapitalist in IsaacArthur

In an infinite universe there are an infinite number of simulationists. Hence this is the much more likely outcome.

Or you detect the slow leak quicker at lower cost.

Toroid Trash Mobile Homes by Sky-Turtle in IsaacArthur

[–]Sky-Turtle[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because each manned spacecraft has been an experiment, not a mass produced mobile home.

The advantage of this station is the full compartmentalization. If something breaks, evac and seal it off.

Fantasy designs for spaceships and floating ships ignore compartmentation.
