big guts, short brains

My work Microsoft profile as a civil servant in an American subject estate in Europe doesn’t require these documents. I gather my employer is swiftly providing them in my stead at the double

Webs get damaged, webs get broken. I thought we would manage, but the things left undownloaded left us so brittle

Stop laughing about the poor American’s educational system. It reads as if you have never visited a secondary school in your country in the last five years. Shit is hitting the blackboards screens

Impossible: BSD nor Linux pay enough bribes

Those lands were promised by their politicians thousands of days ago

*In the shock doctrine, Naomi Klein argues that neoliberal economic policies promoted by Milton Friedman and the Chicago school of economics have risen to global prominence because of a deliberate strategy she calls “disaster capitalism”. In this strategy, political actors exploit the chaos of natural disasters, wars, and other crises to push through unpopular policies such as deregulation and privatization.

This economic “shock therapy” favors corporate interests while disadvantaging and disenfranchising citizens when they are too distracted and overwhelmed to respond or resist effectively. The book challenges the narrative that free market capitalist policies have been welcomed by the inhabitants of regions where they have been implemented, and it argues that several man-made events, including the Iraq War, were intentionally undertaken with the goal of pushing through these unpopular policies in their wake.*

Don’t worry! Rising prices also rises the revenue of the entrepreneurs and the amount of money in collected taxes so it is a win-win situation for everyone.

Capitalism is a rising tide that lifts all’s yachts

A do nothing strategy would have made Trump look like a competent leader but Sleepy Biden was bad

I would trust a book written by a specialist over any LLM output, though

Converting PDFs into HTMLs or RFT/TXT docs witout OCR typos. Until recently, it was almost impossible to turn a scanned book from PDF into doc or TXT, because the output of copying and pasting or converting using PDF tools was illegible. AI now can do a “deep AI seek” (look it up) into the texts.

I am converting a textbook into an audiobook in HTML (paragraph highlighting with manual sync) with an integrated popup glossary into every word (with grammar and meaning) and dictionary lookup if clicked.

Besides, as an apendix to each chapter, I add all the explanations from the book.

I took the ~4 500 words of the book and asked for a grammar analysis and meaning lookup to create a glossary. The IA joyfully skipped many terms but that is something I will fix when each chapter is finished. Now I am being punished with waiting despite having paid $20.

I visited London and England once at the beginning of the century and I was appalled by the sheer number of cameras. I took many pictures of the CCTVs and the warnings. I had dreamed of living there or settling there for some time but I discarded the idea and moved elsewhere

America will remember although it has forgotten past help against the brits in American’s fight against paying taxes

If the EU had wanted to make a difference, they would have adopted the gold standard instead of a cheap dollar copy

At least in capitalism you can express your individuality by purchasing or rejecting products among the thousands of different brands from the same corporation and chinese factory

I seldom take food to my workplace. I just go to a restaurant nearby. Around $18 for a three course meal (starter, main course and dessert) with 1,5 l of water and a coffee is actually a good deal after a 3-6 h working day
