General strikes usually happen when people realize that they won’t be able to keep doing that.

Point taken.

Just don’t pay them, get them arrested and lease them back from the prisons. Slavery is legal in the US after all.

Fire all black people and somehow fault them for the whole thing.

At least if the rest of the country does not show solidarity and doesn’t organize a general strike - which is illegal by the way.

It’s funny to see people get offended just because they misunderstand the etymology of a word

I’ve got a story for you then:

You mean the GitHub account? It’s my personal one, 9-10 years old I think.

That might be it then. I never really read the getting started guide.

The stupidest problem I’ve seen arising from this debate was that with one employer they had a legally required retention policy, and instead of implementing it in their GitLab server software, they did it directly by coming in between GitLab and git. The result was that they had no idea which to use, so they protected both.

On one repo, we mistakenly made both branches, and there was no way to get rid of either, so it kinda just stayed there. It confused the hell out of new people.

I use master for my own stuff because of muscle memory, on the job IDC I use whatever, usually main these years.

Well, that is embarassing. It’s master.

I don’t remember setting this, but then again, I don’t remember a lot of things. Thanks!

Yeah, but so can others, their vaunted “we trained for years for billions” moat is gone

Competition is back on the menu, and US VCs don’t like to play that game

Blue on blue

It also opens up a big question, is US military tech and the US army as much better as they claim because of their funding, or is it overvalued by orders of magnitude as their AI tech seems to be?

Servers are much more secure when they are shut down.

There could be a very large number of small data hubs instead of one big one.

All Big Tech is on their side though.

This might be Vance lamenting he’s only Vice to the President, instead of Trump who gets to be Musk’s VP.

The issue with this is, they are people. Entering the country without proper documentations or overstaying a visa does not change that. The US can complain all it wants about the rest of the world wanting them to treat these people with basic dignity, it doesn’t change the fact they deserve their basic dignity.

They will just start mass incarcerations and backstop everything with slave labour. With the side effect of squashing wages even further.

Yeah, but there are probably more of Mandarin speakers than all the others combined.

Native English speakers are definitely a minority globally. And I’m not even saying taking over, just that in some places it might be an additional one, and English won’t be the language, only a language.

To the point that not knowing Mandarin at all might be a similar disadvantage in the world as not knowing English at all.

Neat.

Here’s the wheel from near where I grew up.

It kinda looks like the US might move to the other end of the cultural colonialism thing.

It might be worth it to pick some mandarin up.

Idiots failing upwards. A big problem with the current EU setup is that it’s basically all diplomats, and a lot of political administrations use diplomacy as a dumping ground for the people who they want to get rid of because they’re idiots, but can’t because they are too connected.

Also see the person responsible for the current state of the German army become Commission President.

But it’s not unique to the EU, Mark Rutte is NATO chief now.
