> He's a bit of a wuss though

No no no, didn’t you see the MMA training. He’s a real tough guy. Very masculine and strong.

> Rest assured, this will likely come with no small amount of grift.

I naturally expect this money to go to tech companies who have time and time again proven their ability to innovate and thrive in the bleeding edge: basically Oracle.

> but not enough to completely collapse the world economy and return to the feudalism they wanted.

Don’t worry, wealthy drug addict pedophiles in Silicon Valley are carrying that torch now.

> Net jobs seems to be going down.

The jobs that are created a just bullshit jobs.

I took someone to the ER recently. It maybe took 5-6 people, mostly in poorly paid low level medical positions to take a couple images and maybe administer a shot.

The kicker is the last guy was some remote worker in god knows where who’s sole job seems to be to appear in a screen to collect some small details from the patient and tell them how much the bill was. That’s it! Healthcare I believe is the single biggest industry as far as employment goes these days. It’s basically a jobs program.

> So do you only secure your computer networks after they’ve been hacked?

Idk seems to be an industry standard.

> But some of us just want to get something out of our heads and built without months of back and forth with a developer.

This website is called Hacker News, but at this point it should be renamed IdeaGuyNews. Hardly any hackers here anymore.

> Embedded systems? Like sim cards?

Serious question: I remember the old installer, six billion devices or whatever. I’ve heard about Java ME, old set-top boxes and DVD players, etc.

But how much of that is active today. I can’t say I’ve ever seen a job listing for an embedded Java developer or even Java ME in my entire career. Are people actually still using it?

How much money do I need to get a suit that’s not miserable in 90f+ humid heat where even stepping outside in shorts and a t-shirt has you sweating after a few minutes?

Gaikwar - which I was able to guess was a former Indian state seems irrelevant as an “English” word especially given it seems to derive from a name that I have to assume is native to the region.

> We have a product used in call centers. It turns out ai is amazing in triaging (surveying) people. We can ask a question in English and if they respond n another language (any language) the ai will switch to that language, ask its questions, and then give us the answers in English. This was stuff that was impossible 10-years-ago.

That’s great, but the problem is wayyy more companies are using AI so they can drop the call center and just offer you no real way to talk to a person and no real way to resolve problems any more complicated than the lowest common denominator.

And then it’s $2000/m for paper thin wall and cheapest materials possible and has more stringent qualification requirements than a mortgage.

> Also, as an aside, people often don't believe me when I say I've never seen a cockroach

That one is pretty shocking. When I lived in South Carolina I remember I used to walk this one road late at night. Once it was dark enough I could see them scattering underneath the streetlights on the fucking sidewalk. Reminded me of sidewalk lizards in Florida, but grosser. I live in the Midwest now. I’m just glad they’re smaller here and don’t fly.
