AI programming. I feel like it will get to the point where AI will start writing code that works but nobody can understand or maintain including AI.

If you are able to explain the requirements to an AI so fully that the AI can do it correctly it would have taken shorter time to program by yourself.

AI powered code completion is another story though and I’m looking forward to it.

String/rope. With a couple of knots, loops and tension you can make a lot of things with it.

It’s the Internet during US elections.

This picture is not accurate. The world should be flat on top of the turtle.

I feel like the show is pretty transparent about it not being realistic in it’s problem solving. It focus a lot on acceptance of another person’s traits as a solution to differences.

Avatar is better and more fleshed out but Steven Universe is also really good. One of the best aspects of the show is that the world slowly becomes more complex and nuanced because Steven is actually growing up and as a viewer you’re being shown it from his eyes.

This show was very relaxing and after watching it I just felt nice. It wasn’t as good, exciting or developed as avatar but I still felt that after I had enjoyed my time more.

Lovely show

People may hate on SOAP but I’ve never had issues with setting up a SOAP client

I don’t mind xml as long as I don’t have to read or write it. The only real thing I hate about xml is that an array of one object can mistaken for a property of the parent instead of a list

Grown ass-man hehe

I mostly have issues starting a task but once I get going I can keep going for a while as long as I have music and am not interrupted.

I think most tech companies are over valued, not gonna lie. In a hypothetical situation where you know all future dividends of the company the value of the share should be the sum of the future dividends discounted by number of years at an interest rate. If the company is never going to pay out dividends then it’s “real value” is zero.

“Real value” as in it has no value as a commodity like gold or a collectors item. Looking at you Tesla.

There is nothing preventing business from running without making a profit as long as they pay any expenses or bonds that are due.

The current tech setup depends on high stock valuations. They issue stock, sell it at a high rate and use that to pay expenses. The sale of stock does not count as net positive in revenue since they are effectively selling a part of their business to investors, making them “owe” their new shareholders equal the amount they gained from them.

As long as investors are interested and the business is growing it’s possible to keep this going for a long time and never pay taxes since they spent everything they gained.

If they are not able to pay their expenses they will have to file for bankruptcy like every other business, whether it’s restructuring bankruptcy, transfer of ownership of dissolution.

So why can’t small businesses do the same? They absolutely can, but the money they get from selling stock is nowhere close. These tech companies are sold sometimes at 20x the revenue where small businesses are likely going to get 20x profit or less.

Exactly, state elections with referendums on voting reform are absolutely crucial to move the needle.

There’s a major thing happening right now in the US where states are agreeing to pledge their vote to the winner of the popular vote as soon as the pledged electors get past 270 which is a big win in my opinion. It’s still doesn’t help with the two parties situation but any democratic improvement is a win.

Yeah, Democrats are way better at making legislation that benefits an average person. They’re also respect the parliamentary conventions and the democratic process.

The US is incredibly bad at reining in capitalism. It also only has two parties that are both heavily influenced by lobbyists.

To fix it, not sure, calling politicians and showing up to stuff will help but it’s always going to be an uphill battle. Anyway, just vote, if you get the option to choose then vote for a third party as long as you’re not in a swing state.

The real solution is still voting reform to get more diverse opinion so if that’s on the ballot vote for it and try to get other people to do the same. The UK missed a major opportunity for voter reform.

This can happen over a couple of generations by removing winner take all representatives for a state and cause a hung parliament. Coalition talks will then be more likely to include concessions on the two state systems to get a governing coalition.

You can look at the UK as being the same only one generation ahead if things go well.

Fun fact: Orange was originally “norange” misspelled. Comes from the same origin as naranja in Spanish.
