Yes, I'm sure that the dividend from the percent invested in M$ will more than cover their former salary.

So I guess in this case they don't care if they work elsewhere?
I have no idea what you found "retarded" about his post.
If companies don't need the people, they generally fire them, even in tech. It's only the top 1% or less that are kept on "just because". But they are producing like wildfire anyway for you already if you're smart.
I agree that CEOs and other people in power undergo brain changes that tend to lessen their empathy for anyone not in their class. After all they are the people that they interact with every day.
I agree that I have been in layoffs where they talked more about how this was good for the company than what those let go were going to do.
So what's your beef?
We need a different metaphor for "mistaking the weather for the climate."
How about:
climate = forest
weather = trees
Does this help?
Sheer negligence. That's what drove this company into bankrupcy.
Incompetence doesn't even begin to cover it, because that would mean they tried *something* to have backups of the heart of their business.
If your business can't run without it, perhaps you should have contingency plans on how to protect it?
Especially these days. These attacks aren't uncommon. If you don't have backup plans you are simply hoping they don't find you, which is stupid.
It allows fine grained strategic control of autonomous agents.
You set the overall goals. They provide all the details in the tactical battlefield with those goals clearly in mind.
It's an excellent example of strategictactical control. You allow the teams on the ground to assess what to do, but they are driven by concrete strategic goals (such as capturing enemy troops).
Why shouldn't that be the lesson?
In today's world, Iran better have nukes pretty soon or Israel is going to wipe them off the map. It seems to me that Israel is the one on the jihad, now, wanting to take over everything and committing genocide in Gaza.

No, I just skip posts with that kind of shit embedded in it. I don't care enough about your opinion to try to read something that's not English, but some mismash of (TM)'s and other shit. NO THANKS.
I'll just move on, so whatever you said is basically wasted and useless.
Agreed.
No one with nukes is going to give them up for "security guarantees".
Everyone in threat without nukes will want them.
Slowly but surely they will get them one way or another.
Perhaps when Russia collapses again?
Why would they be allowed so secede?
If a group overthrew the elected Canadian government surely they would be able to prevent *that* little trouble.
Yeah, he is such a failure compared to the others in his slots on the other stations that is was "financial".

"and yes even MAGAs"
Why should people who want the explicit overthrow of our Democracy be allowed to be in power, in any way, shape, or form? It's suicide by proxy. Keep them out of everything!
" isn't ready for commercial use by non-technical users."
No shit!
"Lemkin had initially praised Replit after building a prototype in hours, spending $607.70 in additional charges beyond his $25 monthly plan."
Well, I guess that's what you get for that kind of money anyway. It's as good as the money says it is.
Despite my attempts, it is obvious that you are incapable of recognizing the difference between what someone says and what someone writes as an utterance for a character they created.
If you're going to quote from Douglas Adams A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy then you attribute it to "Douglas Adams, A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."
If you're going to quote from plain old Douglas Adams, as in something he said himself as his own opinion, rather than wrote as dialog for a character, then you just attribute it to "Douglas Adams."
That is the way quotations work.
Over and out.
If Douglas Adams wrote the words a character said in one of his novels, then he himself did not say those words, the character did. I can't make it any clearer.
Every word from every character in every work by Douglas Adams is a word written by Douglas Adams.
I can't make that any clearer. Every single word.
Not. Relevant. Adams wrote the words. That doesn't mean he "said" them in the sense of expressing his own opinion.
But I'll try. Shakespeare once wrote dialog for one of his characters (in Henry IV Part Two, I think) who said "The first thing we do, let's kill. all the lawyers." Did Shakespeare say that, or the character in the play? The answer is:
William Shakespeare wrote that.
Dick the Butcher doesn't exist, he's a fictional character.
See above.

Did Shakespeare say that, or the character in the play? The answer is: the latter. The character was a terrorist, and he spoke in the context of overthrowing the government. Shakespeare would not have agreed with that opinion, but the character in the play did.
I repeat: authors are not responsible for what their characters say, although they may or may not agree with those characters.
