These assholes will stop at nothing to get you to upgrade.

You tell me. Your user name suggests some expertise.

Next time you have to fart just squeeze your butt cheeks together real hard. It’ll pop right out.

Oh I think that’s probably true, but the question assumed it taking place

If governments started regulating bitcoin because it was proof of work based then people aren’t going to pump real money into another proof of work scheme to replace it - why would they take the risk of it happening again when there are alternatives? the mining profit margins would disappear and so would they.

Median home price in the US last year was about 450k, so I’d say your scale is a bit skewed.

May thy knife chip and shatter.

Railing held up fine. Railing mounts on the other hand…

It’s nice when a company just comes right out and tells you not to bother even considering the garbage they’re shoveling.

Exactly, each keystroke is an atomic task! Doesn’t that make you feel more productive?

I’d argue that if it’s possible to only partially complete it, it wasn’t an atomic task to begin with.

The only ideal that type of company has at its heart is the pursuit of profit. If they see a real cure that costs less than the long term “maintenance” care they would be all over it. If not, then not.

Novel cancer treatments aren’t a terribly good comparison in my opinion. Rarely does a single one in isolation offer a clear and permanent cure - though with any categorization that broad there are of course exceptions.

Hell, when scientists identify care that is likely enough to prevent the need of reactive treatment insurance companies often make it free to lower their overall costs - teeth cleaning and flu shots for example. That’s not altruism on their part, it’s economics.

This is actually one case insurance companies would be ALL OVER a real fix. People with spinal injuries have tons of medical complications that cost throughout their entire life. An insurance company would definitely be interested in unloading persistent fiscal drains like that.

Don’t get me wrong, the medical insurance industry is a fucking terror, especially in the US with the degree of regulatory capture involved. In this one case though, a real cure would serve their interests at anything less than a massive cost on their part.

As dumb as it is, it’s STILL the smartest thing I’ve ever heard him say.

Careful. While funny, you’re running dangerously close to being sucked in.

If an intern (or damn near any employee) can be in a position to single handedly take down that scale of system it’s not the intern that should be fired - it’s the architect that baked that kind of weakness in the first place.

Seems like the logical choice, his neck tie game is on point. I suppose a double Windsor is easier to tie with six appendages and compound eyes.
