You guys weren't here in the 90s and early 2000 when H1Bs were starting to come into tech. People would joke about how the CEO job oughta go to an H1B worker but they'd never do it. Well now 2026 and (according to the list I asked Gemini to make) the CEOs of Google, Microsoft, Adobe, IBM (which was a major tech company from the 50s to the 90s), Fedex, Albertsons, and even Chanel are Indians.

AI will run most companies. Decision making will be AI driven.

2035 - AI is able to replace every white collar job.
2040s - The decade of robotics, AI powered robots start taking most retail, delivery, and factory jobs.
2080s - AI starts replacing janitors, plumbers, construction workers etc.

Ok, I concede this guy was clearly doing actual fraud, but this reminds me of how casinos can refuse to give you winnings if they suspect you cheated. Like, if you beat very high odds, that means you cheated. So what's the point of gambling? Almost everyone who gambles believes that a certain pattern will show up or that some force will act in their favor and win them money. In effect, most people think they're cheating. Nobody prays to their statistics professor to help them win, but literally nobody sane thinks the game is going to play out according to statistical prediction .. if you believed that you won't gamble. That said, I myself gamble in Vegas .. knowing all this .. it's more like a social thing though. I don't gamble alone cause I know Jesus has better things to ignore than helping me win.

You're an slashdot and you don't know how to make physical copies of streaming stuff?

Bro, seriously? Hear her definition?? It's a weasel phrase dude. There is no definition, it's arbitrary. It's like every car manufacturer can claim they sell the "best" car, except in inverse.

is no, she is NOT a gamer. However, Microsoft has embraced the idea of her learning to play a few games https://www.windowscentral.com...

Doesn't seem like a DEI hire either, more like WTF is Microsoft thinking?

When all the COBOL programmers, many of whom are Civil War veterans, have gone .. there'll be nobody to ALTER it.

Maybe in like 2 years. I've noticed the current Claude craps out on processing anything over 3000 lines -- that's why I only use it to write functions/methods. With the little experience with COBOL I have, I can tell you it's a lot of lines of code. And let's not forget it has ALTER which if you think GOTO is shit fucked .. then you haven't met ALTER.

Lord, when I prayed to you for a "future like what we see in the movies" .. I mean't sci-fi movies, not horror.

I may be cynical, but I think most people want people jailed just for revenge or in some cases jealousy.

I think this person should be jailed because it will provide some healing and restoration to the family. Anything to block generational trauma that could result in other bad incidents is worth it. Plus, there's also the societal protection factor. However minor the chance of a senior committing murder is, it does happen.

You don't know how good y'all have it. Back in my day you'd have to go outside in the snow and have to crank the power supply which if you did it wrong would take your arm clean off. Then you go in the house and feed dozens of paper punched cards into the computer which took 3 hours to boot and that's if you did it right .. God forbid you dropped the punch cards or put one in the wrong order. The whole thing would explode or blow a valve and then you'd have to go into the city hardware store to get replacement parts and have to weld it into the motherboard yourself.

These cold cases make me wonder, are there really a lot of "one and done" murderers out there? Did he commit other crimes and just keep getting away? I always thought these killers in unsolved cases would continue their behavior. Would be interesting to see if this guy felt any remorse or why he stopped. Makes me also wonder if many regular people can just snap given a certain set of circumstances.

Here's a reference regarding the Cantaloupe: https://scientificdiscoveries....

The biggest irony is that the USDA lab based in Peoria had been searching all over the world for a highly productive strain, but ultimately it was found right there in Peoria. Kind of reminds me of the Wuhan Virology lab and the COVID outbreak seemingly emerging in Wuhan.

Modern antibiotics are antibiotic molecules discovered in fungi and other organisms to fight bacteria that may be invading their food source. If this bacteria is resistant to 10 of them one possible way it attained that is it may have faced high selection pressure and been in a place where there was abundant rot. For example, the strain of fungus used to supply the world with penicillin was discovered on a cantaloupe in Illinois by a mold collector nicknamed "Moldy Mary" back in the 1940s. That market must have been gross because the fungus was producing an insane amount of penicillin, presumably required to stay alive.

In Atlanta and Austin, the only way to get a Waymo is via the Uber app. No user wants that -- it's obvious they've forced Waymo into that arrangement because of some legislative nonsense.. Worse, there is no way to guarantee you get a Waymo .. you have to choose "electric" and even then you mostly get a human driven car. That's why a lot of people, especially women who don't want a creepy human driver, have to order and cancel a ride multiple times before they can get a Waymo.
