I think it’s that they are preparing for IPO, which means opening their books and being an attractive investment.

Sora was killed because it haemorrhaged cash for each generation. Investors wouldn’t be comfortable with that still running in the books.

This is killed because a respectable investment does sell porn.

Id say your parents managed to get you to educate yourself in lots of useful skills by giving you a motivation. Good job.

Perfect illustration.

Boss on Teams: Why are you off-line?

Me: I’m not. I’m talking to you.

Boss: Oh…

My cares about tracking vanished in that moment.

Nobody has paid anything different yet. The tax year hasn’t even finished. He just decided to spend his funds on something visible to everyday New Yorkers.

That’s the third one.

So true. Governments have lost sight that they exist to serve the people. They are a collectivist solution to managing large projects the population needs. You can take many approaches to that, but that is the fundamental reason we have them.

Otherwise, we don’t need them and wouldn’t choose to have them.

I think some are idiots with benign intentions and some aren’t. Your average labour back bencher is an idiot.

I don’t like to bring it up, but it was the Germans that convinced us to get rid of them.

I like it.

People who’s roles mean they live off stolen credit of workers. People can add value to a company in lots of ways - Organisers, managers, leads, and grunts.

However, there’s a class of people that do nothing. They’re often in high level positions, and talk a good talk but do nothing. Their teams have no respect for them and have to do their role for them. They should have been fired long ago, but there’s often a cluster of them protecting each other. They gravitate towards roles like project manager, sales, customer relations, but I don’t want to say it’s everyone in those roles because sometimes you get good ones. It’s also not limited to them.

No, they gave the government another reason for a mandatory government id scheme. Something deeply unpopular with a large part of the population, but that Starmer is devoted to.

We have a government that thinks the population needs to be parented through authoritarian means. The don’t understand that even though their intentions might be benign, they are still building the infrastructure of an authoritarian state.

Generally the variants have been getting less severe but easier to transmit. This is fairly common as variants with those characteristics survive better. Forcing your host to remain at home in bed makes transmission harder, so those variants are more likely to die out.

This doesn’t have to be the case, but it is the trend.

Living it right now. Me: “We’ve sold off or had resignations from ¾ of our engineering” Boss: “We’ll rebuild”.

Also Boss: “Our value is in our people”.

…and learn better finning technique.

You just gave the same advice.

Regulatory capture. The government is funded by the medical insurance companies. The people haven’t demanded it because they’ve been told it’s not an option. It’s impossible, too expensive, a fantasy.
