[00:19]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR3], Now the landlord says I can't park in the parking lot on the 9th and 10th because there will be a re-paving.
[00:19]	IsambardPrince	I'm pretty stunned that he's even doing this.
[00:20]	IsambardPrince	The lot is in really awful condition.
[00:20]	IsambardPrince	I hit that goddamned pothole again coming in this morning.

[00:23]	Sompi	Other European countries are trying to get rid of their Silicon Walley dependencies, but Finland is accelerating to the opposite direction
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	I have a free hotel night I could use. It expires soon.
[00:28]	IsambardPrince	Thing about this landlord is he has a habit of going cheap, and getting people who show up that day if they want beer.

[05:14]	schestowitz[TR3]	Microsoft investing Billions in AI. They didn't do that to keep human labor around. They have AI to do your job. No complaints, Not having to pay for medical insurance, No 401K match, No lawsuits, etc. Humans cost lots of money throughout the life of an employee at Microsoft. While AI cost mainly upfront money and then for a few upgrades here and there.

[06:44]	TR Bot	 Trump's tariffs beat up economy as private sector loses jobs in June

[06:45]	schestowitz[TR3]	good
[06:45]	schestowitz[TR3]	i guess
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	"as ADP reported on Wednesday that private employers shed 33,000 jobs in June amid uncertainty created by Trumps nonsensical tariffs.
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	"Though layoffs continue to be rare, a hesitancy to hire and a reluctance to replace departing workers led to job losses last month," ADP Chief Economist Nela Richardson said in a news release.
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	The ADP jobs report was massively different from the 100,000 jobs economists predicted would be added to the private sector. It came the same day the tech giant Microsoft announced that it is cutting another 9,000 jobsbringing the companys total job cuts this year to more than 15,000. "
[06:45]	schestowitz[TR3]	more like 29,000
[06:45]	schestowitz[TR3]	if you add up the other waves
[06:46]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR3], I guess Microsoft went from toothpaste to water tap with the layoffs.
[06:46]	IsambardPrince	Toothpaste has to be squeezed. With a water tap, you twist and it all comes out.
