A boss pinching pennies may have cost his firm many, many pounds

StuntMisanthrope

Quad boss fail in parallel.

I went through this phase, pardon the purchase order. Boss 1, rails and cables included without some ridiculous fitting, margin and another fucking new screw-driver and Boss 2, Bad Tings TM will happen, perhaps exaggerated with a concealed, It'll be me thrown over the side entropy, unless political gain is to be had and it could be a team effort factor included. #whatstheupside

Hairy muff, I haven't the time these days and can nearly hold a conversation in a hostelry, however having to make things work and be popular with ladies in explaining why, is a write of passage, that I sometimes fondly extend. #itwasjustslightlydivertingthreedaysago

Re: Read the comments.

Forgot to mention on your fixed comms platform which allows you to trade before the news breaks and everyone else finds out.

StuntMisanthrope

Read the comments.

It's a disgrace. There is not a analyst in town, who has a clue about the technology. I reckon you could program an AI within the context of a conference call and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Its a fucking fix. #acquirenewmarket

BlackAdder Capital.

I'll write the script for the .app. It involves a pitch, the investor, seventy one percent of the same code and a new business process. It should be a fifty percent success rate, before money and ego gets involved. Be warned the moneymaker will bury you and your house is on the line, not his. #cunningplan #sixdecimalplaces

N.B. There's more money spent on Bitmoji than any UK start-up and I'd probably guess Europe. FWIW.

Exhibit 3. Rockets.

The guy burns virtually anyone else, no doubt on productivity and output regardless. Yes, it's boring on some levels, the share-holder block on it's own, is a bit silly. But smoking a joint, it's the end of days.

Re: The shout was meant be louder.

It’s beyond a fucking outrage. The hackers did it. No you didn’t do it, you didn’t want to listen, or look stupid. Well now here it is. #toldyousoinassembly

The shout was meant be louder.

This is systematic failure of a known corporate weakness to invest for the long term shareholders st the behest of personal gain. It’s nothing less than outright gross incompetence at a international infrastructure at brand level. #elwallace

Re: Great timing...

Manager, you bunch of wankers. It's not law, it's not fuck-wittery, I'd listen to the team, plus think on that.

A royal flush.

Even after the last debacle, it's still vacant and a 100% return on the flop. Give us a clue. It's not suite, it's not colo(u)rR or token. #information

It's the same issue as doppel-ganging your archived personal ethereal primes, if Bad Tings TM happen. It's definitely not hardware or government, perhaps open sesame or shibboleth. #factsimilies

I've seen the future of consumer AI, and it doesn't have one

StuntMisanthrope

It's not the A IoT.

But you're not going to get any money unless there is something to see on TV. It's a bit like running another business to develop software internally at the same-time. #EMEAInvestor #codeistangible

It's the weekend and the cricket's on. Not everybody's cup of tea, I grant you. However, if you're paying attention, the pitch looked favorable. That being said, I'd still have a butchers when the phase has passed at that magnetic chemistry. You can never tell whether effect, past action or the sound is good. #foodforthoughtandsharing

Spies still super upset they can't get at your encrypted comms data

StuntMisanthrope

It’s not me, it’s you.

trust (n.)

c. 1200, "reliance on the veracity, integrity, or other virtues of someone or something; religious faith," from Old Norse traust "help, confidence, protection, support," from Proto-Germanic abstract noun *traustam (source also of Old Frisian trast, Dutch troost "comfort, consolation," Old High German trost "trust, fidelity," German Trost "comfort, consolation," Gothic trausti "agreement, alliance"), from Proto-Germanic *treuwaz, source of Old English treowian "to believe, trust," and treowe "faithful, trusty," from PIE root *deru- "be firm, solid, steadfast."

from c. 1300 as "reliability, trustworthiness; trustiness, fidelity, faithfulness;" from late 14c. as "confident expectation" and "that on which one relies." From early 15c. in legal sense of "confidence placed in a one who holds or enjoys the use of property entrusted to him by its legal owner;" mid-15c. as "condition of being legally entrusted." Meaning "businesses organized to reduce competition" is recorded from 1877. Trust-buster is recorded from 1903. #thehistoryofetymology

You'll need a ream of paper and there is a big space in one area. Also, it's not impossible but an infrastructure cloud has bigger guns, big pockets and bucks to catch. Even important people have to travel. #dontknowwhatyoureonabout

Experimental 'insult bot' gets out of hand during unsupervised weekend

Back in another non-cooperative kickstarter.

I'm on a public holiday. That's the difference. The bills arrived electronically. But the maundy did not. It seems to have got lost in transcript. But I'm not quite sure how.

There was a time. When a band could get a loan for studio time or you could ask nicely since it was the weekend.

It's awry and the ratings charts are unable to raise a cheer. #checkandbalance #westcoast

One ring to rule them all.

Can't we all just have a number. A personal one. On top of that, how about if we had unique keys generated for us, supported by time, location and entropy. That replicated when necessary. Could be authorised by a chain of authority or in defence. We could all have the same password and just tap the screen or be measured by language comprehension and response time. Signature sounds good to me. #youseemfamilarmatecomehereoften #sometimesdependsonthedayandwhoimdating

EU wants one phone plug to rule them all. But we've got a better idea.

The Perfect Crime.

It’s over. Done, dusted and sent to Australia. The problem is no human, government or indeed an agency or citizen is without mistake or fault.

The balance of justice is exactly that, in equilibrium.

Does the purpose, that leveraging technology against the populace, improve society as a whole or make it worse.

I’d personally prefer, to terrorise inequality and mental health with education for the many with the cost to a few, than the opposite. #thebuginthedatacentrewiththeterminal

To me to you.

Having a disagreement with an illegal outfit regarding Right to Forget and GDPR. It all comes down to legitimate use of PII.

They haven’t a clue it appears and use paralegals to hide behind their communication, nor are compliant with legislation. If it’s illegal to begin with. How can the extraction of data to fish for evidence of a crime unwarranted be legal. It’s boolean, true or false. It can’t be legal for you, but illegal for me, but if l’m not up to no good. Then it’s now illegal for you and still illegal for me.

Schrodinger would have a field day with the use of quantum encryption either way. History has taught us repeatedly, usually at the same time that law enforcement and lawyers cannot be trusted in part.
