how do you know hes a lincoln impersonator and not a bartender with a peculiar beard

so good lmao

i dunno i feel like were at a point where we can metabolize things that would be big news and keep time flowing at a rate of 7 days per wek.

really hard to strike a balance between becoming important enough that people pay attention to you and unimportant enough that you’ll be on the chopping block during the next layoff.

amazing that you only have to spend a million dollars for this result. I guess having the tailwinds of American politicans losing their shit over China helps.

are you looking at hungary? Mexico looks consistentish

nah the american economy has slowed down quite a bit, they cant keep at it for too much longer unless they want to set off a recession.

Yeah I think this article really missed that callout. Yes there’s the legal pedantry that they do to lie without really lying, but then there’s the bigger lie that is the consensus of reality that exists in the political class of the global north. Things that bolster the consensus are facts, things that don’t are lies.

From what I’ve heard there aren’t really imminent breakthroughs there and companies that have historically invested a lot in QC are scaling that back. People I know who have worked in that domain have said to me that what often ends up happening when they get a quantum algorithm working they’ll figure out that the classical one is just as fast but needed more work to optimize it, which is what it gets when someone tries to prove a QC algorithm is faster than a classical algorithm.

We have at least 36 naked cowboys here

est is french. did english ever use it as a conjugation of to be?

why were you anywhere near vaush

it’s a sad combination of self-promotional grifters and alienated office workers trying to convince themselves they’re doing something meaningful with their lives.

There are about 55% the number of publicly traded companies in the US compared to 1996. There is less than half the number of public companies per million people than there was in 1996. The GDP has doubled in that time (inflation adjusted) and the so-called “Buffet Indicator” that tracks the total market cap of US public companies against the GDP has a ratio of 202%. In 1996 this number was about 100%, during the height of the dot-com boom it didn’t reach 150%.

So I guess what I’m saying here is there has been a massive consolidation of corporations over the past few decades and if we take at face value the capitalist line that competition drives innovation – well the competition is drying up in a lot of cases. Taken together with the neoliberal tendency to cut literally every public service to the bone and it’s no surprise we’re falling behind a country that has essentially done the opposite over the past 30 years.

i think they believe it. i’m sure we’d see the mask slip more if they didn’t.
