    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I feel like we might be working for the same company..... but then I realize that its like this everywhere and my faith in the world fades a little more.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Cloud computing's revenue model works like drug dealing. Get people hooked cheap, get them dependent, then ramp up the cost when you have set the hook and they cannot go back. This is going to be the gameplan with AI as well, with a side of surveillance state thrown in to sweeten the pot.

    Westworld

    Well Trek has been progressive leaning since day one. But that does not mean it was bad story telling and DS9 had good story telling with complex characters where the viewer was left to decide what they had been presented. The bulk of the OG series and TNG had this going for it, where it was...

    Which is the difference between good writing and shit writing. Dukat was a fundamentally evil and selfish the entire time, but after his mental break and his Pah Wraith interactions, he went completely off the rails as you noted. This was actually part of the story and his character, not the...

    Westworld

    Well that was the literal strategy for a lot of these shows in the 2010s, particularly the ones on HBO. Have a great premise, with some high ticket actors, and some major titties during the first couple seasons. They were actually hiring literal strippers and whores as extras in many of these...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    I love dogpiling the Cowboys as much as anyone, living in Texas as a Packer fan, but they do draft fairly well. There issues are almost all in Jerry's choice of coaches and how he fucks with them. The Mike McCarthy hire was hilarious enough, but then he follows up with Iberfluss? The last...

    Fallout

    Marcus was the Super Mutant who had a BOS pal (started as enemies) who he helped set up the town of Broken Hills for which he was Sheriff for a long time. This was in FO2 and he is a character that can be a companion in the game who is very intelligent (he was once a servant of the Master) but...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    Well I cancelled my game day subscription, if that tells you anything. I used to watch all day Sunday and the two weekly night games during reg season. I am at the point where I don't even know if I want to watch the packers for the first time ever, and I sat through the fucking Randy Wright...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    Actually I skipped the SB because of the streaming Peacock horse shit, the Gambling push, and the league making it clear that it is not just ignoring its core fanbase, but actively shitting on us. Not liking the teams has literally never been a factor, exhibit Eagles Chiefs last year. And more...

    All I wanted to do was watch football games. There you go.

    This is the kind of NIMBY talk I have come to expect from you. Yeah just let the faggots ruin everything and invade every refuge. Or, you know, we could keep our culture safe from the fags and ghetto culture.

    Naw I was counting the national anthem, forget what SB that is but she killed it.

    She sand the National Anthem, but I guess an America Hating Faggot would not remember that so my bad.

    Prince, Paul McCartney, Bruno Mars, Gloria Estefan, Whitney Houston, U2, and MJ all were amazing performances that had wide appeal. I don't even like most of those musicians but they put on some damn good shows.

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    Every team in the league needs O Linemen for the most part, thanks to longer seasons wearing them down and not enough talent (lowest paying job in the NFL and shortest career span, so no incentive) to go around. That's why you saw so much uncalled holding all year, especially after a couple QBs...
