And I just noted that in my little, American, redneck town that you usually don’t have to stick the quarter in the Aldi cart as someone will come along and hand you their cart.

We have an Aldi in my little redneck American town. Not sure I’ve ever paid the $.25. Most people look for an incoming customer to hand off to.

Does anyone not expect them to question sustainability going forward? Anyone in any sane position in healthcare investment is going to ask:

“This is a thing. How has it worked out so far? How will it work in the future?”

“While this proposition carries tremendous value for patients and society, it could represent a challenge for genome medicine developers looking for sustained cash flow.”

The question is: “What is our future when our scientific output kills our business?”

This is a perfectly rational question to pursue. This is a place private medicine hasn’t visited. Yet another reason healthcare and research should be a government function. Government exists to spend money on societal benefits without expectation of near-term monetary profit.

God knows where they go with the answers, but putting off cures is conspiracy bullshit. You think the major pharma companies will drop monstrous short term profits? Tell me, with a straight face, that you believe these evil capitalists are planning long term. And then your next comment, “Line must go up!” And the next, “These corporations can’t think past the next quarter’s profits.”

The enemy is both strong and weak. 🙄

Some y’all have the business sense of angry teenagers. No, this shouldn’t be a discussion about business, but it is.

tl;dr: “This is going to hurt your bottom line. You need to start thinking about it.”

$850 a week sounds a little nuts to me, let alone 4 days, and not in consumer spending.

10s of trillions of dollars of activity a day

Our entire GDP isn’t $30T yet. I’m really questioning these numbers.

Melt it all down, let it seperate by mass, pour into molds. Energy consumed may not be worth it though.

Sounds logical, but emotionally I’m repelled. Anyone know economics can speak to this?

We won’t have jobs or food, let alone PC parts.

Y’all cheering for this crash are naive as hell. Yeah, it has to happen, better sooner than later, but it’s far too late to avoid global depression.

Have a search for the Buffett Index. It’s the measure of total stock valuation vs. GDP.

• In 1929 it was around 130%.

• 2000 was 150%.

• 2006-07 was around 110%.

• 2021 hit over 200% for the first time.

• It’s at 230% today.

None of us have lived a crash like what’s coming.

Just changed the brakes on my 2004 F150. Already had front pads, got the rear pads off Amazon for $17.98, stores wanted $45+. Rang me up yesterday for plugs and wires. $145. Hell no, got a set on Amazon for $52. I’m no Bezos lover, but I cannot afford local stores.

Everything I read scares me away from new vehicles, ICE or EV. I’m no mechanic, but I can change bulbs and plugs and wires and oil and brakes and air filters, you get the idea. The learning curve seems awfully steep for purchasing a used EV. I’ll have to do it eventually, but damn.

Now EVERY system is fly by wire?! I put on my brakes or turn my steering wheel, all mechanical, fixable, doesn’t need any fucking software updates. Nothing can be bricked or tracked.

Sell me on an EV. I want the Slate truck that’s stupid simple, hope it’s not a POS.

Tried applying months ago, kept getting hung up and having to wait for the next step to be approved, finally gave up.

Still no answer on how to manage such a fleet except, “Trust me! I did it!” C’mon.

Not it you want something impactful. Creativity and editing are tough to pack into 7 seconds.

Made a typo smartass, and you know it. 70/30.

Now tell us all how smart you really are. Tell us how to manage a fleet of Linux or Mac machines, or even a mixed environment. One reason I passed an interview was with this very question! Go.

Identity management is only one aspect of AD. Very telling that all these rebuttals are thinking only in terms of what LDAP can handle.

I would love an explanation of how AD can control Linux machines! Can I reset you Linux password over AD? Can I lock you out of using removable media? How the hell do GPOs work?!

AD isn’t simply authentication, grouping computers and users. LDAP does all that.

My last company was a software dev and even they were only 70/40 Windows/Mac.

Yes, seems lots of European agencies are moving to FOSS, but more towards open office solutions. Moving to Linux for the OS makes fleet management pure hell. I know LDAP exists, but that doesn’t begin to compare to AD.

I like that the 7 second limit forces creativity. We shall see where this goes. Bet uploaded videos just get posted to more popular sites.

Doesn’t matter much what users do. Corporations are nowhere close to ditching Windows.

No way to manage a fleet of Linux or Mac machines. Nothing comes close to the power of Active Directory and a bit of PowerShell.

Funny enough, I guarantee there will be GPOs and PS commandlets that let you disable the AI bullshit.

EDIT: Apparently I’m addressing a crowd who has never managed a fleet. I’ll bow to your expertise.

Somebody clue me in on Typescript. I’m somewhat familiar with scripting, PowerShell guy here.

K thnx bye
