  • yeah, wtf is with job hunting

    Jump

  • Why do I feel like this is a case of them already having picked a candidate but still wasting time anyway?

    I've seen behind the scenes of these kinds of things, it's possible that they already had a really good candidate but decided to interview everybody in case somebody surprises them and is better than that person. From their perspective (at least what they tell themselves and each other) they "gave you a chance" even though they were pretty sure they already had the better candidate. Whether that's a bullshit reason or not is up for interpretation I guess, in the end for most jobs it boils down to how much they liked your personality, provided you actually have some qualifications for the job.

    Being late is mad disrespectful tho fuck them.

  • What is China's official stance on Hamas tho? I never really got the impression that China was sympathetic to Hamas.

  • I absolutely love how mad Hasan's trip to China made people. My twitter feed for the past week or so has been filled with blue checkmarks pissing and moaning about it non stop.

  • Bitcoin is quietly imploding

  • I'm not denying any of that, I'm just making the claim that price formation of Bitcoin today (in a not yet post apocalyptic economy) works in much the same way for much the same reasons as the price formation of gold.

  • You can make your own shitcoin right now even with a capped supply it won't be worth anything since it's just numbers

    You can declare bottlecaps to be a currency like in Fallout and everybody would be taking you equally as seriously as if you made a shitcoin. My point is that the market forces that dictate the price of gold are much the same as the market forces that dictate the price of Bitcoin. There are differences obviously, gold is a physical thing and its scarcity is dictated by mother nature whereas Bitcoin's scarcity is entirely made up, but the underlying market logic is much the same.

  • The value of gold is also backed by pretty much nothing, sure it has some real world value in some industries and jewelry but that's overshadowed by the speculation and hoarding of it. Bitcoin is just the slightly more stupid version of gold.

  • Isn't that how a lot of the fictitious capital market works in general? Bitcoin doesn't seem fundamentally different to me here than stocks or securities or whatever, it's just slightly more vapid than other similar assets because it's backed by absolutely nothing material, it's just another tool the financial sector money diddlers use to be even greater parasites on society.

  • It's over $9.00!!!

  • A salty, savory, vegetablely flavor, kinda hard to explain, I literally just call it "vegeta taste". It tastes pleasant to most palates but some people tend to put it everywhere and overdo it so there's a danger all your dishes are gonna start tasting the same.

  • Fun fact: Vegeta was created by a Bosnian chemist Zlata Bartl in Yugoslavia in the 50s. It's still the most popular condiment in Croatia and probably in a lot of eastern Europe.

  • Firefox 144 adds profile management... and AI slop search engine

    Jump

  • Yeah this fucking sucks obviously but I kinda get Mozilla, they're really stuck between a rock and a hard place in this capitalist economy. On one hand you actually want to deliver a good open source project that's more or less privacy and user-control focused but on the other hand you have to sell your soul to the capitalist overlords if you want to support the development.

    I fucking hate it but I'd imagine most Firefox developers hate it too yet they push on.

  • What are the chances of this dude not being a careerist sellout like AOC? Seems to me like the cycle is repeating, I mean sure he's probably do a bit better than Cuomo but is his election really gonna move the needle significantly?

  • China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs

    Jump

  • Well they're the only ones actually selling something for profit, I doubt they're in a bad place unless they overextended themselves.

  • I think the current AI companies in the west would absolutely love to jump on this given that the only entity that is actually profiting off of AI right now is Nvidia.
