Navy's, governments, companies, people in general - at least the behaviour is consistent.

I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late after that I sorta space out for an hour. I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

What if -- and this is a hypothetical -- you were offered some kind of "stock option" or "equity share" scheme?

Good luck with your layoffs. I hope your firings go really well.

Office Space quote?

You’re the kind of go getter that has upper management written all over you.


Um, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in tomorrow. So if you could be here around 9:00, that would be great. Mm-Kay

Isn’t this basically utopia come? Why the doom and gloom? You’re getting paid to do practically nothing.

I never understood how George Jetson has so much friction with his boss when all he has to do is press the button.

This is a quote from “Office Space” by Mike Judge of “King of the Hill” and “Silicon Valley” fame. it is a great movie you should check it out!

And, more importantly, Beavis and Butthead.


They should add more A1 to the classrooms.

Their steaks are obviously inadequetly sauced.


When you work at apple this (and $3000 glasses) is your reality.

Yes, a move in the global share of mobile phones a few percentage points from apple ecosystem to google ecosystem is even more important now Ai is the denominator in every valuation.

This in a nutshell.

I think the long and the short of it (place your bets) is that it could be perceived that Apple has lost its foothold on this ever-important (tm) share of the AI marketplace, whereas Google is happily integrating Gemini into all of its services, in a way that is actually functional / useful, with the most obvious entry point being its own Pixel hardware. They just dodged a regulatory bullet, partly due to AI competitiveness, but maybe they're not going to be on the whipping end of that sea change, after all ...


One small disagreement - the most obvious entry point is one of the 3.5 billion android devices in the world (against apples 1.5b)

The relatively small changes in share price (~ -2% vs +2%) is likely just some optionality coming out of the respective company valuations for the small probability apple announced something big like Ai that works or a $400 phone for the mythical people who don't live in silicon valley and make 7 fig salaries.


They got doge'd

Dont whistlebowers get a percentage cut of the fine?

> In the United States, whistleblowers typically receive a percentage of the money collected by the government, ranging from 10% to 30% of fines or penalties.


> Local residents were very worried about the impact of such a large reservoir

Was it the crocodiles or the immigrants in small boats in the reservoir they worried about most?


Snarkiness aside, this is Oxfordshire. One of 'the' most unlikely areas to have been concerned about that as the primary opinion driver.

> Thames Water's computer-generated image of how the reservoir would look

We have come a long way in computer generated images in 14 years.


Big tech would be for this - because they already do it
