You laugh, but it really is awesome how much cool shit we still do with steam.

Social media content reviewers are not just in third world countries. Read any article about the "nightmare" job experience - they're pretty much worldwide.

Yep. https://www.rolls-royce.com/products-and-services.aspx

They also work on Defense contracting

C'mon, man. You can't possibly be as dense as you're pretending to be right now. That doesn't even make sense as fiction, let alone as something that could actually happen on earth.

For what you're describing to be true would require a worldwide conspiracy involving basically every health care worker and records-keeper on the planet, with literally every government and organization suddenly cooperating even with their direct ideological enemies, all of this working in concert, all in perfect secrecy.

Not to mention that recording other types of death as COVID deaths would be obvious at a glance to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention, because there'd have to be a sudden unexplainable drop in the number of recorded deaths from every other cause.

And all of this for literally no reason or benefit other than to, um, *checks notes* increase the rent in Sydney? That's your grand conspiracy?

Seriously I don't understand how people like you get tricked into spouting such obviously ridiculous beliefs. I really don't.

I’m no scientist but in space if our bodies can lose heat by convection and we need special water suits to help how will nuclear reactors work? Will we need a bunch of water?

Totally. The entire reason I posted it is because its absolutely ridiculous. Everyone ignores bad decisions and blames it on remote work, wokeness, etc.

We shouldnt be listening to anything a failed bank has to say about their failure. Its just them trying to save face instead of just owning up to their own failures. They had a bad investment strategy or an investment strategy that didnt work. Its that simple. That has nothing to do with “IT” or WFH.

This employee in the article is alleging that meta was hiring people to hit diversity targets or lock up talent that they didnt actually have any work in mind for

So the alternative would have been to not hire them or give them actual work to do

> prolly cause SVB had no Chief Risk Officer (apparently), and instead focused on having things like a Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer

as if they couldn't do both. One has zero to do with the other.

Is it the same company that makes plane engines?

Yup, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is owned by BMW.

What could go wrong?

I'm not really smart when it comes to physics and outer space. What was the harm in asking?

The people do the thing in the place

Thanks for the reply. Not sure why my question was downvoted. I'm not a scientist and was curious lol.

Oooo luxurious

Idk, looks hot to me

Is this a headline or a mad lib?

Homegrown Simpsons stuff too.

But he is still tired

> It's no coincidence that, historically, some of the most successful startups get founded during or just after economic downturns.

I think part of the reason for this is that people get laid off and suddenly don't have to do whatever stupid idea their boss told them to do. Now they get to work on their own stupid ideas.

Lol. This is an excerpt from the 1970 spoken-word piece Whitey on the Moon by hall-of-famer Gil Scott-Heron. It's one of the most famous and well-respected poems of the "space age". It's unfortunately still topical today, with white billionaires in a pissing match to see which can get their rocket-powered cocks up first, while regular folks are becoming homeless by the thousands every day because their rent has doubled. Think you can work at Bezos' Amazon warehouse and afford basic food and shelter, let alone health care? Good luck. Some people might say that the idea of a moon base, with a Rolls Royce nuclear reactor, sounds a bit hard to swallow, under the circumstances.
