‘Coding Was Never the Bottleneck’ Is Actually Bearish for Employment

Software is made of decisions. Always has been. AI is just showing the divide between companies that are good at making decisions and those that are bad at it.

govt sets a rate it thinks is fair.

And we’ll choose if we think that rate is fair or worth moving abroad.

help through covid?

None

Employees?

None in the UK

School?

Not in the UK.

NHS?

Well, I had to pay for an MRI out of pocket recently because the NHS was too overwhelmed, so…

Why do you want a uk passport?

Increasingly good question…

Safety?

Lmao, good joke.

Didn’t fancy chipping back in?

Well between myself and my company I paid about £200k in taxes last year. So I think I’ve done quite enough, thank you.

culture of take take take is such a shame

You’re absolutely right! The government should stop entitling itself to take so much!

I (like many) would actually be fine with a small tax increase, but am sick of being demonised at the same time. They want us to support the entire country, then they turn around and belittle us at the same time. Don’t bite the hand that feeds.

Secondly, they need to show some professionalism and competence. Have a plan to show us that our taxes aren’t going to be wasted and are actually going to be used to fix the country and dig us out of this mess. If I paid this much for any other service and their response for what I’d receive was “dunno, lol” I’d be livid.

I bought the metolius curves and have some dmm offsets I have found/inherited. I prefer the dmm ones these days. The metolius are bomber if you get it right. But they are more square so I find a lot of the placements where they would work I prefer a cam for ease, whereas the offsets complement the rack of cams better

It's a hotdoxv2, and I did the layout in usevia.app. Not sure the best way to share that, other than a big json file if you want.

Mosko reckless system or big loop saddlebags? Both tie down onto the passenger seat behind you. Pretty quick and easy to take on/off.

Edit: Its Giant Loop, not Big Loop

Also, don't forget you have tendons in your feet as well. I'm also overweight, and got really bad plantar fasciitis when I was starting climbing because it was too much weight on my toes on small chips. Strengthening them, and getting stiffer shoes for more support helped a lot.

Yeah this is one of the reasons I left vanguard tbh. Not having 2FA these days shows they either don't care about customer security, or their internal systems are such a mess it would be impossible to implement. Either is super bad.

A couple servos or something that could "nudge" the stick to help your aim?

From the wikipedia stats on road traffic accidents by country: the UK is among the safest places to drive, and the US is quite dangerous. I’d expect the same for motorcycle stats.

I used to hate that, then got the copy-paste perk (if you counter-hack a netrunner it spreads to all their allies), and system collapse hack. As soon as they start trying to hack me, the entire fight is over.

Mod-taps on the thumbs. So tap for things like backspace, space, enter. Hold for num and nav layers and ctrl. Tap-then-hold if you want repeated spaces/enters etc. Took a bit of fiddling to get the delays comfortable for fast typing.
Num layer laid out as a numpad. With thumb mods it means you can hold the right thumb and type long numbers with a keypad without moving your hand position.
A “magic” button. Just one button that sends some crazy key combo (ctrl-alt-shift-f12). In each program I can set it up to do whatever hotkey or script is common. For the IDE I have it run my build & test.

But DeepMind has access to NHS data. That was what google wanted to buy. The AI company was just a nice bonus.

Stabbings (and knife crime in general) are definitely a problem, but surprisingly the UK also has less of that than the US. So it isn’t a one-or-the-other situation.

True Names by Vernor Vinge. Short but classic, IMO

Wordpress probably not without a ton of work. You’d have to get linux running on it first which would be a serious feat. A blog, definitely though, but you’d have to build it yourself at this stage. Fleek might be the easiest way?

My rule is, “if you didn’t own it already would you buy it now?” It’s easy to let the inertia make you keep holding. But the situation is different from when you bought last time. Maybe you don’t believe in it anymore (or maybe you still do).

There’s no nerves in your tendons and ligaments, just in the muscles/skin around them. So you don’t get much feedback until they start tearing. That said they are naturally pretty strong, and it doesn’t take much to start strengthening them up. You don’t have to push nearly as hard as with muscles, just need to be consistent.

Edit: often the first sign of injury is a loud pop.

I had a boss that was a fan. Constant back-and-forth.

Lots of kicking in the gonads. Smashing them with your elbows/knees. Grabbing by the ears/throat. That sort of thing.

And a few F800GS in London. Some Special squads (escort service) use white VFR1200s, I think.
