There is also an animated show called Pantheon that deals with “uploaded intelligence” and the process is likewise fatal. I can’t recommend it highly enough. It had two seasons and the story was completed.
In the United States, even paying for the highest level of TurboTax does not get me the ability to have my mortgage information prefilled. Still have to enter the information that Chase sent to the IRS on an IRS form in manually on my form. Tax preparation in the US is truly the wild west.
this works as a motivating impulse until it doesn’t. while it is still working i would encourage you to consider trying to identify what you value so that you have a comprehensible self-perception absent anyone’s expectations of you.
he was reassigned and essentially demoted and given the opportunity (along with the cocreator, who is still at the times) to basically do remedial “how not to lie to everyone” and he decided he was not interested.
if a person who is nominally in a journalistic role ends up producing fabulism and they are then demoted and reassigned, it’s better for that person to lead everyone to believe they were pushed out for irrelevant things many years ago rather than the issue with their work at their workplace that in fact literally just occurred. it’s just confusing, because in any other context i don’t think people would fall for this whataboutism.
a pediatrician who gave babies placebo vaccinations and was then demoted and assigned to “what does being a doctor actually mean” class and then quit, and then told everyone he was fired because people found out he got speeding tickets constantly would be dismissed out of hand once everyone found out about the whole fake baby vaccination thing.
andy is a liar. he purposefully mislead his colleagues when he had good reasons to doubt the credibility of his single source. he produced a work of fiction and the premiere newspaper in the world took it as carte blanche and shared it with the world as the truth. it does not matter what happened with him a decade ago, or three years ago, or even immediately before caliphate. the only relevant thing in this story is that he failed miserably at his only job.
yes, you just verified robinhood is a clearing broker. they are not a clearinghouse. imagine a clearinghouse as almost guilds brokerages set up to get a useful function they needed that banks do not want to provide. so you have a ton of clearing brokers and they all send their money to the clearinghouse and then they can just forget about everything other than order execution and settlement and ignore all of the hard problems in the middle. the clearinghouse is itself an institution that also has incentives, and one of them is “in periods of extreme volatility, i am going to increase the capital i require to be held here in order to be certain all of the middle bits can be executed”.
i have no idea why people think robinhood is a clearinghouse, that doesn’t make sense. they don’t want to do that! they want to do PFOF with execution or make settlement take 0 days so they can further take advantage of retail or whatever. being a clearinghouse sucks. no one likes you. banks don’t want to do your job.
dante is exiled from a city he lovingly intersperses throughout his fiction in some of the most famous and beautiful and utterly complex poetry of all time by one of the most famously corrupt rulers in all of human history for things he wrote ~in his poems~ and over 700 years later the sum total of human technology allows someone to say his political conviction by a no longer existing state is justified because of these thought crimes on a site that notionally believes in freedom of speech or at the very least thought.
the global medical raw material supply chain specifically for the kinds of chemicals needed for serological tests and the supply chain for equipment such as vials and racks are both incredibly fucked. the reason pfizer packaged its doses in larger than standard vials is because they literally could not procure the other kind in the volume needed and the time to retool the entire operation to load different sized vials only to unretool them wasnt worth the cost or time.
amusing how it is nearly always someone in the in-group making this decision, that everyone else does not need or deserve access to something but i do as a member of this group. tale as old as plato “discovering” the ideal form of government was a bunch of philosophers telling everyone else what to do.
youre asking this question on the same medium by which you can access torrents and nearly any journal article for free on platforms that have repeatedly evaded authority’s attempts to shut them down entirely. if the right wing wants to self-host, they’re able to. the “oh facebook, the platform my grandma uses to keep up with her knitting tutorials and oprah’s book club recommendations, kicked me off” is such an anti-hacker attitude, in my view. the people who built AWS were not able to upstream all their issues to some other platform. the people building the open web in the 90s and early aughts didnt need to spin up docker images on someone else’s hardware. there is a ton of money for this, if the mass of users want it then the market should be able to provide it, i believe
