You gotta remember the tape delay on moves by big corps. Google/Microsoft/Apple/etc. all are suffering after their top talent left. So they’re all slowly backpedaling their behavior.

Big Corpo always lags behind what the FAANGXRAGNAROCK tech companies do, so they’ll likely realize the same problem has happened in another couple of quarters, mimic the behavior again, and silently backpedal.

I’ve already seen more job listings claiming “hybrid/remote” and even companies like AT&T and Verizon are offering remote-only technical roles on their job sites now.

Sure would be nice if these idiot companies didn’t keep copying each other and just realized that, no, I don’t want to sit in a shitty loud hot office all day. If you want me to be productive, let me work where I am. If some people like it, cool, let them!

They should all recognize this as a cool advantage to cut down on their commercial real estate offerings, or sublet some of the space they don’t need. There’s tons of money to be had and/or saved by making these adjustments.

The quality of store brand stuff seems on the decline as well.

AI is the new rule 34.

Artificial intelligence (AI) models for refrigeration, heat pumps, and air conditioners have emerged in recent decades. The universal approximation accuracy and prediction performances of various AI structures like feedforward neural networks, radial basis function neural networks, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference and recurrent neural networks are encouraging interest. … Thus, complex multi-objective problems that require high precision solutions to optimize the cost and performance of ideal RHVAC are solved using artificial intelligence techniques (Mohanraj et al., 2012).

Granted, this is modeling, not implementation, but.

Are you in my state? HVAC peeps had little to no idea about heat pumps and claimed they were $20,000 to install and only rich people had them.

Eat brown rice?

Also annoying that articles like these never list the full list of affected beverages. We can’t have a negative taint against our dear corporations!

Oranges aren’t squeezed anyway. They’re separated into tanks of raw components and then mixed so OJ always tastes the same.

Do the insurance companies shield themselves by dividing into regional/state zones?

Edit: also, because it seems it’d be safer to balance risk v reward across the whole country. (They also invest insurance money in the stock market where most of their profit comes from.) Although, I suppose it’d be easier to grift states of their money when it looks like a subsidiary is failing rather than just looking at the whole balance sheet instead.

Short of congress impeaching Supreme Court members (which they can do), it seems the only real answer is to just expand it so that it has so many seats, it is effectively as useless as congress.

That’s an astute observation. The Democrats are like the perpetual optimist from 90s cartoons that think the story always ends happy, the good guys win, and all you need is honor and trust and a good soundbite to pull through, instead of actually playing chess, or checkers, or perhaps politics with enough forward thinking to actually plan a few moves ahead for once. Perhaps they should hire an evil person to teach them how the R’s think.

To bring sexy back.

(But seriously, what a terrible television program, one old man spouting nonsense and the other looking confused and lost. There was absolutely zero reason for anyone to watch it.)

It really doesn’t seem to be the political climate to do something good for the people right now, at least in the US. I feel dirty even typing the last part. It’s so sad.

His handlers likely gave him 3 topics to remember and told him to otherwise just spew shit (act normal), knowing it would confound Biden.

With governance across the US destroying libraries left and right, what IA is doing is basically a necessary future.

All the old Marijuana convictions being overturned means the corporate prison system has a shortage of free labor. Seems like jailing the homeless puts them back on top. Big Brain SCOTUS. /s

That’s Pure Michigan, friend.

Snopes oddly released a “this is false” on that a few days ago.

Interestingly enough, ADHD brains aren’t affected by the addictive qualities like normies are. They just go back to their noisy dysfunctional state without it.
