You should only insure yourself against things that are potentially threatening your or your family’s existence: Liability, health, home, occupational disability, survivor benefits.

That, and anything that’s legally required (such as auto insurance if you want to legally drive a vehicle)

There’s been a ton of back and forth finger pointing but the more I hear about it (and other news about Krafton), the more my gut tells me that Krafton are the bad guys.

And hot dog flavored water!

Well shit, I’ve never seen AoC before - I’m not usually very interested in programming just for fun, but I might give that a try!

Good to see they chickened out the second they started to see a hint of their ad money drying up

Wasn’t he a “financier”?

Great, another “satirical” pro-Trump online forum that will no longer be satirical at all in another year. Seriously, doesn’t anybody remember the_donald?

That is seriously ominous

FORTY FUCKING DOLLARS???

Just check to see if Disney gets a cut of the physical media sales first. If it does, buy it used.

If you already have a journalist in your contacts list, then maaaayyyyybbbeeee.

Maybe they can give her a 21 gun salute. With live ammo. Straight into her coffin.

I got carded at a bar a few weeks ago for the first time in years, and now I find out I’m still an “early adult”, despite being over 40? Hell yeah!

And yet here we all are, reading your comment. Maybe the algorithms on some platforms are that aggressive, but certainly not here.

Literally yes, from what I remember when reading about this a few days ago. It’s an exhibit on impeachment in general, not specifically just about Trump’s impeachments.

It seems that AI really is good for some things after all

I agree with your main point, although I think your example of COBOL being used to this day in financial institutions is actually the opposite problem. The guys that originally developed that shit were damn good programmers, but they were severely constrained by the available hardware, limitations of the language, etc. So they had to get really clever in order to make these massive, complicated systems work. In my experience, those really old legacy systems tend to be rock solid with near 100% uptime and almost no errors. They’ve never been rewritten because doing so would be a multi-year effort costing millions of dollars, and the end result would be a system that is most likely slower, buggier, and has less functionality.

TLDR: The old COBOL systems are unmaintainable messes not because of incompetent developers, but because the limitations of the available technology when they were originally developed forced a bunch of really good devs to have to get extremely creative and hacky with their solutions.

It’s cute that he thinks that Wall St hedge fund guys are Democrats

Counterpoint: Elon Musk

Holy shit, have we worked with the same guy?
