I’d like to better understand the deficiencies they’re finding in the hiring pool. Is the problem that there are too few applicants or is it the qualifications of the candidates? If the latter, what are the specific deficits?

@arstechnica charging for the on-device stuff would be silly, but I sort of understand charging for anything cloud-based. It can’t be cheap filling data centres with GPUs and two years is plenty of time for the market to decide whether or not it’s worth it.

@arstechnica imagine if crypto bros/weird nerds Daddy Elon had discovered this... The comment threads would be like look what a genius he is, but some young lady did so like meh, we knew all along how to do it but didn't to make it look like it was untraceable... Is it that hard for an avg nerd to understand & accept that there are women much smarter than them? Because working in tech industry must mean you have few more brain cells than an avg misogynist and actually met ones for yourself.

Besides being a fun tool, this pad's layers work great for OS-switching.

I accidentally dropped my balance below $1500. They charged me $12. They love sticking it to seniors and low income. They'll just make it up somewhere else.

Nothing is "normal" about this election cycle. With Trump facing criminal charges, he is far from a dependable candidate. But what happens if he must be removed from the race? Or Biden, for that matter. Take a deep dive into this question with The Big Picture. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/biden-trump-incapacitated-presidential-election
