Using this logic, we never address any problem until we address all problems.

Do we never patch one security hole until we patch all security holes?

(I'm not defending this particular legislation, just saying that this isn't the way to defeat it)


DLU captured the decisions better, but Idiocracy explained how we got there.

Eugenics, you mean? Letting the stupid people breed?

Haven't watched it so I wouldn't know, but from what I hear of it that sounds like a pretty serious strike against it.


tbf its not "letting the stupid people breed" and more that smart ppl stop breeding. still wrong and like other comments said, Dont Look Up is more practical bc its people with money, power, influence dooming us with greed

Folding phones are the big/small screen compromise. One you fold, nobody goes back.

The samsung fold7 in particular is the same thickness/weight as slab phones, but unfolds to become a tablet. Please don't vote if you haven't held one. The compromise is cost, durability (dust, water), some battery life & some camera. Huge gains in productivity and night-to-day difference consuming video and photos. Google Maps FTW.


> durability (dust, water)

Not just dust and water but folding screens are plastic with a mohs hardness of 2-3, as opposed to normal phones with glass screens which are a 6-7 hardness. I like having phones that can't be permanently damaged by pressing my fingernail a little hard into it.

Another example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uS90jakOuw&t=107s

I also can trivially replace the screen on my regular phone at home, whereas I'd have to get a folding phone professionally repaired for many hundreds of dollars.


Still runs the kneecapped mobile os

larger customers expect net-terms (e.g. net-30) and have monthly accounts-payable processes. No customer pays instantly.

my strategy is to raise prices, then offer a discount for customers who pay net-7 and even greater discount if they pay in advance.

fun story: I once got $400,000 from a famous venture capital firm who was buying a service from my company and they paid 6 months in advance for 5% discount. In other words, dilution free financing from a VC fund !!!

The job posted here and on the actual careers page seem different? You also mentioned remote when none of the four available jobs are remote.


Seems like the job opportunity is not available on your website.


"Amazing" is not necessarily a judgment, could in fact be congratulations or even judgment-free entirely just amazing story.


"cold" is redundant/implied for Oracle.


not any colder than any other company. spotify did the same to me.


LOL, once I gave my AI clear guidelines for how to "score" the interactions and work, it had no trouble giving me negative feedback. In fact, it's a super direct critic!! and depressing AF to produce stuff I like, then have a &^%&*^& AI shoot it down in seconds (and it's "right" of course, i.e. I see the criticisms and sigh, agree...)
