then a 2-season long summer basically, then fall. That’s it.
Like in the tropics, dry season and rain season. Or drought and flooding season of we’re unlucky.

Perhaps a daisy wheel printer is an acceptable middle ground
Almost everything tech bros say is to boost short term share prices. Any resemblance to the truth is coincidental.
It’s over of the few countries where you can get off the plane, go to the ATM and withdraw a few million in cash. 1 million VND is about 40 USD.
Now we just need to use the user information to check their net worth, and if it’s above a certain amount it needs to hover a quest marker above that person. I’m curious to see how long before privacy laws get stronger.
Because people get suspicious when somebody is taking pictures of every stranger they come across, but people looking at passersby while wearing glasses is normal.
Schrodinger’s Immigrant: simultaneously kicking them all out of the country and inviting more of them in because corporate party contributors really like desperate low wage workers
They’re raising income taxes. I thought income tax was one of the easiest taxes to dodge. Rich people usually have capital gains, not income from work. And even then they can get loans instead of an income using their assets and loans are not taxed. Seems more like a symbolic gesture to appease the people.
Even worse, it’s completely real. It was the common situation for me before corona. Also driving an entire day for a 1 hour meeting.
Another company I had contact with did a few layoffs. Afterwards the recruitment department had a lot more issues finding people. Experienced people would ask a premium because of that company’s reputation in the industry and the experienced people would usually stay a short time and leave. The other option was hiring fresh graduates and put effort in training them.
As long as it looks good on paper, somebody in higher management is getting a bonus for this.
Yeah, the first app for AR should be one that identifies people that are in the list of business persons or celebrities and show their net worth over their head like it’s a reward for a game. Then watch as bespectacled grimy folks start following the rich bastards around and AR is outlawed.
AR replaces all screens, buttons and interfaces with holograms. This can be a hologram with the shiny lines you see in many sci-fi, replacing laptop screens, fiddly little interfaces for gadgets, … These things would also be great for designing stuff, teaching using proper models instead of pictures in a book.
Or it can be indistinguishable from real-life, such as having an empty paper book and have the AR glasses overlaying an e-book, such that it reads, looks, feels and smells like a classic tome. Weather predictions look like a note stuck to your door.
Then you have entertainment. That goes from table top games look like they are on the table, to running around outside casting fireballs and chain lighting.
Or it can be an ad riddled nightmare where everything you look at and your reaction is recorded and shared by corporations.
We need a scapegoat in place when the AI bubble pops, the guy is applying for the job and is a perfect fit.
And company leaders that get too big get cut down to size instead of letting them becoming a monopoly and slowing down.
Although they are bad long term. Any platform reaching critical mass is invaded by the corporations, fanatics and propaganda campaigns.
Hundred years. Big difference with the 100.000 years of the current waste.
Yeah, the code can work flawlessly in test, but after a few months of production there are a lot more records or files and the code starts to have issues.
They probably tested in ideal circumstances and their stuff breaks down when even coming close to an edge case.
That’s a bit unfair. You can actually buy a flying car today. A few companies recently got their vehicle fully certified and are doing commercial sales. It’s not cheap. If you can’t afford a second Ferrari don’t bother.
The future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed.
