You say that as if it’s a bad thing. Not all writing needs to be as dry as a technical bulletin.

… lesswrong apocalypse cult? Like the guy who wrote that insufferable Harry Potter fanfiction?

The strategy is Broadcom doesn’t give a flying F about any customer smaller than Fortune 50. They really don’t. Hock has said as much.

Oh please. Take a look at the pictures of “redevelopment” back then and tell me it mirrors modern practices. We’re talking wholesale bulldozing of entire neighborhoods. Not a block…

Where we’re going we don’t need no stinking drip tray! Believe me. You need a drip tray. Best of luck. Hope it turns out better than ZPM.

This is a pot, kettle, black situation.

Did… you really just use the term Chinamen in 2024?

Pivotal Labs was acquired by EMC back in the day. They bundled it with some cloud foundry work and created Pivotal. When Dell acquired EMC they also acquired a big share of Pivotal…

Nails are reversible in under an hour. Foot binding causes crippling disfigurement. They aren’t remotely comparable.

* Offer only applies to straight, white men not romantically entangled with a person of color. Offer void where prohibited.

Yeah, this is the carbon equivalent of trying to get abs by working out more without adjusting your diet.

The entire premise is ridiculous.

Downtown? What downtown? We don’t have one. If your talking about Assembly Row, that’s a “town center” development. Used to be a movie theater and a sea of parking lots. It doesn’t…

Most? You’ve gotta be earning more than 400k to get into the 1%. Top 10% maybe, since that’s around 125-150k.

I had the same issue. I’ve switched to Vyvanse and have been loving it. The on and off ramps are much longer so everything feels a bit more smooth than Adderall ever did.

It’s delightfully chonky and I love it.

oh good, they’re reviewing their policies. Worth just about as much as an internal investigation at a police department.

Pivotal does this. The interview is usually just a "day on the job".
