Comment I don't really have anything interesting to say... (Score 2) 12

about Uber itself here. But as some minor trivia about Manchester: the "Man" comes from "Mamm", meaning "breast", referencing a small breast-shaped hill that used to be located in what's now the Castlewood district (it's since been lost).

The name of the city basically means "Tit Fort".

Many businesses don't care about the people that work for them because they only view them as liabilities, not as assets.

More accurately, zero businesses care about people who work for them, because businesses are legal fictions, which only exist in the legal system. They don't have brains, hearts, or emotions. People who work for them might care, but as the business increases in size, that becomes decreasingly relevant, and once it becomes publicly traded the shareholders can act to remove officers who don't follow the charter. And while corporations aren't legally obligated to maximize profits by default, the charter pretty much always says something about that, as that's why people invest.

A sole proprietor might care about you, and that might even be relevant...

Maybe there will be software jobs in the future after all?

AI may be what gets the industry to start taking security seriously. Most computer systems are designed with security as an afterthought, tacked on at the end. Performance has been the primary selling point. But now that AI makes it feasible to find holes that previously would have required a lot of manpower to exploit, perhaps we will see the focus shift in that direction.

What about that means disconnecting kids from the internet? What about that is a termination of the program?
Nothing.

It costs money to provide those services, and schools and libraries are already wanting for funding in this post-fact America. What's between your ears? Nothing.

They know they cannot scale to sort this out so they have to get the contractors in which is its own bag of issues BUT they are working the problem.

But the problem is that they cannot scale to sort this out. Where you see a commitment to good security, I see that BofA has been punting on security and failing to meet their commitments to their customers, and that culture has now come to a head with the catalyst of AI leaving them no choice but to scramble frantically.

"To store" is definitely the last thing I give a shit about, but it's also true that Steam is impressively bad. Even after they've recently allegedly given it a major makeover, it's still absurdly slow to launch. Forget "to store", how about just "to a window"? Even that takes longer than it should take to get to your library.

I don't let Steam start on login on my Linux system, but I do leave it running once launched, I guess so that it can semi-randomly decide that now is a good time to process some shaders. Of course it's actually just a stack of web browsers dressed up as an application, which is why everything about it is slow. I get that it's sharing content that is being put on the web so nothing else makes sense, but ugh.
