I couldn’t even get to the paywall - their cookie consent dialog was halfway off the screen and I couldn’t click “reject”

Ah thank you.

That’s a salary of about $200k assuming twice monthly paychecks and a 75% tax rate. This is not at all unusual for tech software engineers, though probably not at the entry level. The entry level is a mess right now in general.

Here’s a job posting w base salary of $190k, seeking 3 YOE.

I might not underestimate how much big tech companies hate this too. They are pretty famous about despising all regulation of their space. I wouldn’t put it past them to block a backwater like Utah.

Why are you assuming the ambulance is the first car behind the Waymo? Are they supposed to bash through all traffic to get to the Waymo and then push it? You know a lot of ambulance drivers are just low level private employees with a couple weeks of training, right? They’re not going to just use the ambulance like a tank and then tell their corporate ambulance company employer to sue Waymo, a huge and powerful tech company. Christ man join reality.

Because they were raised Catholic and they want their church to stop demonizing them. Blessing them would be a start. People are taught religion from a young age, perhaps younger than they have any kind of sexual identity. Therefore their whole concept of “them” may be as much Catholic as it is gay.

Okay. Most of your comment seemed to be focused on whether they resemble actual humans. I don’t think we have any information about whether these impact your mental health but I would tend to agree they can’t be good.

Perhaps the point is to seek something that’s not like real humans.

Then you’ll be grateful to be informed you left off your final period.

No, non-white people have always existed.

I immediately thought of homeless people when I read this. I mean I could probably lollygag a lot of places but if you look a certain way, have long hair, dirty clothes, a few bags with you, you start attracting the wrong kind of attention fast. Often in the nicest places of all. Shittier places leave you alone.

Someday soon, and it isn’t as far off as some people think: the government will know who we are.

First time?

Someone do a version of the comic with this guy’s comment as the text of the first panel, please.

I know what open source means.

A group that wants to host that game server is eventually going to need to fix it, or adapt it to new software / hardware if we expect it to be able to run in perpetuity. They will need to be able to modify that source code to do so.

So the game publisher can’t just publish one final compiled package “for people to use.” The software has to be able to be maintained, not just used. And if we expect the software to survive over time, it will need a community not just one group. Open source is the only thing that would allow the game publisher to walk away from it, but allow the software to live on.

This is meant as a joke but it’s very much a real thing and has been for a long time. Visit an unincorporated area that doesn’t have a permit office and you’ll see some crazy shit. Visit the third world and it’ll blow your mind.

There are definitely some drugs I’ve tried that I would not want to do while staring death in the face. But I agree it should be a personal choice. Basically I think it should be at any point in life.

But then how could anyone use it? If it’s to download and run at home, you can get away with it. But in many of these cases they’re saying open source it so volunteer group XYZ can host a server and keep the game alive. Wouldn’t group XYZ be vulnerable to copyright action?

I have a feeling this case is the bare tip of the iceberg when it comes to supply neglect.

Supply logistics are every bit as important and challenging as combat tactics when it comes to winning a war.

Pourquoi pas les deux?
