Another bottle of Navaho please.

Yes, but there's still something in curving primes around spacetime. #clockworkorange

Blessed are the cryptographers, labelling them criminal enablers is just foolish

The Cat & Phial

why do all the constellations have names prior to optical resolution. #hyperfocal

When software depends on a project thanklessly maintained by a random guy in Nebraska, is open source sustainable?

StuntMisanthrope

Put your left foot in.

Open source is a charitable endeavour last time I looked. First, second and third yourself with a furloughed pass. Submit your accounts via the nearest offshore isthmus and claim an ever reducing Jedi binary paper offering. #buellertime

Let’s check in with that 30,000-job $10bn Trump-Foxconn Wisconsin plant. Wow, way worse than we'd imagined

An athlete & media centre!

Lets leave no stone unturned. Running, jumping, kicking, throwing and reporting in all its glory from the start, with t-shirts. Forget school, start with numbers. #balls

Microsoft releases kernel for unique (but critically panned) Surface Duo phone

StuntMisanthrope

Stand in the corner.

Look at the wall. My bad, it’s true. I quite like my Lumia. I soon as it was EOL, I was interested. Payment for an upgrade and yes the UX is strange, but it’s simple, really simple which is a change. Everything still just about works, and as a 4th or 5th travel phone with a throwaway SIM card and a long battery life. #stillinthebag

Re: Shock

That's because luxury hotels, golf-courses, travel, services and all the supply chains involved employ the most people, not the financial services sector. It's how the tower structures are under duress at the minute as well. #awe

London court tells Julian Assange: No, coronavirus is not a good reason for you to be let out of prison

Canis Major.

It’s quite clear whether lay or stipend that the system is broken. Deport the man to his home country and export the law. #notproven

50 years is how far behind the UK legal system is. The law gets management partnerships for invoice, cut and paste. Society gets regulatory capture and nearly twenty years of reaping the a non-benchmarked set of bought idiots. #fuckupapublicbankrunaprivatebank

Things I learned from Y2K (pt 87): How to swap a mainframe for Microsoft Access

StuntMisanthrope

Code Integer.

This used to happen all the time within a bank payments department around the turn of the century into the present day. The system is down but the card payments and ATM withdrawals still work. Don’t tell the merchants on punters though. Now it’s it just it’s broken again and nothing works and costs everyone. #spreadsheetville #keepthemusicgoingitsawedding

Listen up you bunch of bankers. Here are some pointers for less crap IT

Still no technologist’s near the governors table again. It’s not even worth checking the other failed organisations. The biggest anchor on the economy is banking. #10percentindustry90percentinfluence

Virtual inanity: Solution to Irish border requires data and tech not yet available, MPs told

StuntMisanthrope

Call my bluff.

Can I have a think tank please. So the entire population of the Ireland could use just the tube in a day and no-one would notice. That's without any other mode of transport, zoning and other malarkey. Sounds like a bilateral mobile infrastructure and investment footing. #productivity

StuntMisanthrope

Last train to nowhere.

Is it really any more complicated, than dare I say it the London public transport network. I'm afraid of big numbers too. #trythefish

We're all doooooomed: Gloomy Brit workforce really isn't coping well with impending Brexit

StuntMisanthrope

Look you stupid B*******,

You’ve got no arms left. The country is already in recession, and if the economy wasn’t so warped, by axis and finance, you’d have noticed. It’s a policy bubble, with vote for the Blacksmith party or leave the sceptred shores. Albeit a bifurcated dichotomy nonetheless. #itsafleshwound

The law is proprietary.

But identity is non-binary. Something’s not making any sense. #interface

Bloke who claimed he invented Bitcoin must hand over $5bn of e-dosh in court case. He can't. He's waiting for a time traveler to arrive

StuntMisanthrope

A criminal enterprise.

Straight from the horses mouth and in a court of law. How come a non-asset backed security is allowed to be traded on a financial market. #cashisonlycurrencyintown

Female-free speaker list causes PHP show to collapse when diversity-oriented devs jump ship

Majority replicants need not apply.

Of say the more than the few hundred programming that exist, only a handful have been invented by females and of the most recent ones not for a while. That would be a good conference. #why

So to recap on the United Kingdom's technology advances over the last decade. A failed banking system, a failed pension system, a failed political system and a failed investment system, a bust accountancy institute, a fraudulent cut and paste reseller, a big unfinished and measured hole plus a pink credit card. €bigwins #taudeltaoff

That this AI can simulate universes in 30ms is not the scary part. It's that its creators don't know why it works so well

Pinball wizard. Pocket O'Credits.

Like a back actor. Can I have a sim please. Let's fire an ever descending serial particle spectral sequence from a lagrange gun, curved forward in time through the offset IDL and bounced back.

HP CFO Cathie Lesjak didn't even read KPMG's Autonomy due diligence before $11bn biz gobble

StuntMisanthrope

Eh-oh!

I'll be adding that to the collection, for cut and paste. It's all a bit exemplary in my opinion. The thing about these safe habours. It's a very slim set of rules. That's a good thing I reckon and over the years the industrial balance improves prosperity. #wayoh
