thus people were treated better and got work faster instead of fighting against thousands of people who mass spooge resumes with email now.

Fondly remembering postings for TAL and SNOBOL jobs in the classifieds before the book store near me had books on SQL in the early 90s.

Let's see. As I, a seemingly private citizen, do not participate in any of these "events", but find they cause my anxiety and PTSD to go completely off the rails when all I want is…

Interesting someone voted this down when literally I was asking how it will affect unemployment rates, not suggesting I am a fan of robocalls and telemarketing. Guess I was not bei…

It'll be fun when we have all trained the AI models and paid for it, then all realize how we have priced us all out of making money if we don't stop this unless we can afford what …

While it might seem fair to blame the company here, I would like to point out that many people with limited budgets (and this includes children receiving allowances, not just adult…

Surprised there has not been a biographical drama about Twain on AMC or something.

All due respect but I am not totally against police dealing with protests. I am against this Orwellian surveillance stuff. If you want to police so people can deal with day to day …

I wonder how this will affect their economy and unemployment rate?

I am pretty sure that a dataset controlling for that would (laughing here) not negate the fact that fewer people who lived past the mean date that are taxi drivers died of a relate…

they used to sell the suction cup things in my neighborhood in the early/mid-80s. I remember having one to go take a walk in the woods nearby.

that's because they were the ones being threatened, they were at risk, and they did the kill shot as self-protection (putting aside whether they should have been there in the first…

I know this is a serious thing, and beavers can seriously maul someone, but this post title/headline still made me laugh. Am I going to hell (well, for that)?

Printers had taken the place of an entire cadre of non-communicating faith workers who used to sit down and painstakingly copy things by hand while being housed and fed for "free",…

(Note I say this because optimally, this encourages less "supervisory" desires by others later in one's career. If your peers and overseers get out of your way, maybe you will rela…

If you aren't capable of this, in most careers you won't be able to use your degree anyway. The only other even marginally acceptable compromise is something like the essay portion…

The problem is LLMs reward no expertise and stupidity also.

ah, the tragic truth of there being no daddy at all alive. alice bawled.

ah, but the confusion in the security model of a more-than-one-daddy family.

that doesn't mean they don't want some of the 'right laws'. otherwise they would be anarchists and communists not libertarians.

You vastly underestimate the consumption of tea in the United Kingdom. It's funny that America is almost the only country that does plug-in drip coffeemakers, though, since most pe…

I do that sometimes. Is there something wrong with that? Granted, rarely in the form of an energy drink.
