The supply of an asset is the volume of that asset available for purchase.

If I buy all of that, supply becomes zero.

You misunderstand, if I own the GDP of a world power, what’s preventing me from buying a ton of Bitcoin and fucking with the supply that way?

Crypto nowadays looks like a pump and dump free for all.

Yeah, but a currency practically needs a military and an economy to back it.

Who is going to stop me from fucking with the bitcoin supply if I own the US economy?

The guy who put the chat bot on the server, and then that guy may sue the other one if applicable.

It looks like Grafana, it’s a ubiquitous UI for presenting real time data

If you think any European country will take millions of foreign immigrants, you’re in for a surprise mate.

Funding education, funding social services, funding mental healthcare. Enforcing existing laws against harassment on big tech.

One of the biggest social media platforms is spamming child porn, they’ve all been proven to be addictive on purpose, and we’re blaming teenage users.

The equivalent of these people did not live in commie blocks either. The people who did still live in tenements or are straight up homeless.

Communist societies not having a large middle class is a different question though.

They will disarm you before they execute you on the street, like they did to Pretti.

You need comrades, not just guns.

Exclusivity is still a shitty thing. How does it make the service better for consumers?

The EU does not oversee education, it’s usually a member state or even lower level responsibility.

Nah, cookie banners are a malicious compliance tactic adopted by the advertising industry after they got told they can’t surveil the whole of the internet without consent.

The bureaucrats are actually hard at work to get rid of cookie banners in the very near future, making it obligatory to follow an in browser setting. You click decline once on install, and that’s it is the plan.

Nah, these aren’t assassinations, just plain domestic murders.

Your 401k plans are balls deep in AI money.

Guess who’ll hold the bags when the bubble pops.

Yeah that shit is more common than people think.

A big part of the business of cloud providers is that most orgs have no idea how to do shit. Their enterprise consultants are also wildly variable in competence.

There was also a large amount of useless bullshit that I needed to cut down since being hired at my current spot, but the amount of containers is actually warranted. We do have that traffic, which is both happy and sad, since while business is booming, I have to deal with this.

I know using work as an example is cheating, but around 1400-1500 to 5000-6000 depending on load throughout the day.

At home it’s 12.

My guess is that the Google org culture breeds people who don’t care about the users of their tech one bit.

Make something that’s fun and interesting for the person making it, release, get promoted, abandon.

It’s the kind of people I tend to avoid hiring, and for a good reason. Google makes pretty much all its money from search ads, and hasn’t innovated on that in decades.

Nah, you had to use all 3. It was 3 connectors for different things.

Our codebase is a mess and I suggested putting “we are not stupid, we just work with Google” into our job ads looking for data engineers proficient with C and JRuby.

I just had someone on my team work with 3 closely related Google data libraries, basically 3 connectors for the same data churning thingy.

One was only compatible with Python, the second was only workable in C, and the third was in fucking JRuby.

I mean if they are going to be doing model collapse, might as well go full throttle
