Was going to say the same thing about JL, as long as you stick to the defaults for everything they really can't be beat. It's when some plonker insists on you going via some special-snowflake path where you now need to spend a week of round-trips making sure it's snowflaked right that things get slow, and cost a lot more. "Well if it's like that we could just get it made locally" - no, "we" shouldn't insist on a special-snowflake variant when a bit of rework will make it fit nicely into JL's standard production flow.

OK, rant over.

The same sort of nutjob people who'd then go on to name it Thaddeus.

Could well be a bit of both. Or, given that Trump's understanding of economics is, from the words of numerous people who have worked with him, only slightly better than that of my cat, it could be whatever random brain fart he had this morning, a throwaway comment on Fox that he's turned into US national policy by lunchtime.

Interesting to see that Europe is adopting "Irren soll man ihren Willen lassen", something like "play along with/don't try and contradict, the obviously crazy person", as its mechanism for dealing with Trump. Pretend fo give him what he wants, let him brag to his fans about what a great deal-maker he is, and move on.

During the first Trump presidency someone wrote an article that had a checklist on how to negotiate with Trump, unfortunately I can't find it any more but it involved steps like convincing him that it was his idea in the first place, pretending to back off in the face of his brilliant negotiation skills to exactly the position you want, and then allowing him to claim victory. Leaders like Kim Jong Un understood that this was how you get him to do whatever you want from the get-go, looks like Europe is finally going that way as well.

And how do you get a stochastic parrot to write secure code?

I don't see what the problem is, the Boomerang 1 did exactly what it was supposed to.

If the US says it's terrorism then it's terrorism, so this is terrorism dammit!

Yeah but it was some crap badly OCR'd copy so now we're dealing with Nyuknyuknyukashlep and Tsoggywahaha the Unfunny.

I head if it Slave's voice from Blake's Seven:

Not quite as big a loss as someone who had 10,000 BTC stored on an old hard drive somewhere that got thrown out years ago in a move, but still some sort of loss.

In addition if they wanted to learn something why did they enroll in an MBA? Not seeing what the issue is here.

Same here. I suspect there's quite a few formerly-low-ID-number folks here currently using less-low-digit accounts because they've lost access to the original one.

You misspelled "frist".

Can you spot the flaw in your argument?

I'm quite happy with it as long as they site the AI data centre off the end of the LANSCE beamline. It's not like it's going to make the "AI" less accurate or anything.
