Chaotic Entropy

Leftovers that you keep for “the dog”! Less and less frequently does it make it to dogs though, a crime of our time.

For many smokers, the world is their ashtray.

He didn’t become the richest prick in the world by spending his own money.

I’m concerned with switching to a small alternative which then becomes untenable or shutters within a year and then having to piss around again.

They’ve been making deeeeeep cuts in order to make the company “more like a startup”, as per Jack Doresey’s comments.

They laid off 10% of their workforce last year, and like 20% of the remaining work force late this year with cuts to engineering expected. It is not in a healthy place, seemingly, and they cover a very small slither of the market.

So many services still don’t even offer 2FA at all. Any service that stores payment information and PII without any 2FA options, let alone a secure one, at this point are a disgrace.

This always the solution to these big, over promised AI projects… “what if i just pay someone a pittance to do the hard part.”

Them’s good eatin’. Add some broth, a potato… baby, you got a stew going.

Well, all the initial venture capitalists involved already “got theirs” so there’s no reason for it to exist anymore. This isn’t a failure, this is the operating model of your average SF tech start up.

Drip is a pretty wild name to call your menstrual tracking app.

Were people unclear on this? They think that the US is just letting cyber warfare happen without participating…?

What a time to be alive.

I wouldn’t pull that thread if I were you.
