That’s a shame, I almost always go for GoG whenever possible. Looks like steam then.


Might have being going for “passed away”

Managers are people too and will have their own emotions they are dealing with.


As a manager you have a responsibility to communicate this to your team and give them resources to deal with the emotions (you, the manager, being one of the resources).

So sure, you have your own stuff to deal with - use the resources you have for that (eg your manager) but when it comes time to face your team, be a professional and don’t shut down in front of them. They need you too.

Source: I’ve been in management positions and had to deal with a bunch of layoffs and yes, the occasional outright actual death.


At least they weren't announced as 'useless', so there is that.


About a decade ago I was doing a lot of travel for work - 140 plus flights a year over 6 continents level.

I remember watching a film, “Up in the Air”, about a guy who was contest flying from airport to airport to lay people off because the boss was too much of a wimp to do it himself.

I guess even his job isn’t safe from AI.

Sure some will manage to hack with prompt injection attacks, and potentially get compensation, but those attacks will be fixed.


That George Clooney’s traveling show was going to be replaced by Anna Kendrick’s Zoom-before-Zoom technology solution is a major part of the plot.

It’s a fantastic film, albeit in a bit of an obscure niche if you haven’t dipped your toe in the points/status game.


A choice of two dystopia - one where your brain is controlled by a computer, the other where you are locked in a room.


That is like traditions chicken farming vs free range chicken farming.

Keep in mind while free range chicken farming is better to market, it is also more messy.

Have you ever been inside of an industrial chicken house? Its absolutely, without a doubt, the most disgusting and depressing place I've ever personally seen. Even worse if you're unlucky enough to be there after a single case of avian flu is found anywhere in the area.

Chickens can be messy, but that's only an issue with free ranged birds if you don't have enough space for them. Most chickens won't venture too dar from their coop, usually on the order of a couple hundred feet. If you don't want chickens pooping all over your lawn and barn, just put their coop further out in the field (preferably near some trees for cover).

Rotational grazing is also really effective with chickens. Its more work, but you keep the birds where you want them and end up fertilizing your fields as you move them around.


It's also a joy at feeding time to see them running home by the dozens.


I see no evidence that the alleged screaming down wasn’t 30 years ago so “these days” is doing some interesting work

I suspect that “screamed down” is also hyperbole


Mail in on the U.K. is for a wel or two, but the envelope has to arrive by a certain date/time before the election.

The ballot closes at 10pm, counting starts as soon as the boxes arrive. The first places have counted about 50,000 votes and declared the Reilly by 11pm, most finish about 4am, 6 hours in. The final places (which rely on boxes to travel from various islands on ferries or helicopters) can take nearly 24 hours.


> Apple just made their true target crystal clear: they have always been aiming at web capabilities:

Not what Jobs said

Originally there wasn’t an SDK at all.


When you have a tiny market share, argue for open standards. When you gain the majority, close the gates and pull up the ladder. Oldest playbook in tech. We've particularly seen it many many times with chat platforms.


You are right. At the very beginning, Safari was innovation and Jobs wanted the web succeed. I meant of course the period when webkit was the only browser engine allowed and Apple claimed the reason was they wanted security etc. Now it is clear that even then, the true target was web capabilities and the hindrance of them via webkit control. Now that they use iOS to disallow these modern web capabilities in competing browser engines too, they admit to their true target of the past 10 years or so too.


To be fair his comment was a waste of time


Good. Adaptive headlights are won’t he U.K. and there are many cases when they don’t work and end up blinding people.
