[00:17]	admfubar	keep it fresh!
[00:17]	IsambardPrince	I don't want to find out there's bugs that crawl out of it.
[00:18]	IsambardPrince	I double bagged it and tossed it in the freezer over here.
[00:18]	IsambardPrince	My good laptop is in a two week quarantine in double bags in the trunk of my car.
[00:18]	IsambardPrince	If they don't get water for about a week they die.
[00:20]	MinceR	Corporate Propaganda NOW!
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Phrase of the day.
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	Lemon Socialism.
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	You should use that when you discuss Trump handing Intel and Microsoft money.
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	If you need a brief description, it's when the government hands taxpayer money to weak or dying companies to prop them up.
[00:28]	IsambardPrince	Intel and Microsoft are well positioned to receive lemon socialism, especially in return for "shares".
[00:29]	IsambardPrince	The government has a use for that because as it turns these companies into Communist-style Government Sponsored Entities instead of businesses, it can put the spyware directly into the product instead of just asking them to do it.
[00:29]	IsambardPrince	Because there's no difference between the company and the government anymore, not even in theory.
[00:29]	IsambardPrince	There's no social benefit to the American people for this "investment". It brings the losses onto the Treasury's books, and nothing of any lasting value is created.
[00:30]	IsambardPrince	At least when Germany funds KDE or other Free Software, not only Germans and the government get software they can use and modify, but everyone in the entire world gets a return on investment.
[00:30]	IsambardPrince	When the US Treasury buys shares of worthless tech companies, all the taxpayers get are losses and backdoors.
[00:31]	IsambardPrince	We need innovation, not Soviet-style economics.
[00:31]	IsambardPrince	Propping up failing industries making cars without heat or gas gauges, and exploding TV sets.
[00:32]	IsambardPrince	Or in this case, Intel's processor bugs and unreliable Microsoft products like Windows that can barely survive a single patch.
[00:33]	IsambardPrince	When the Iron Curtain fell, East Germans abandoned thousands upon thousands of Trabant automobiles in the streets. They were cars, very awful cars.
[00:33]	IsambardPrince	The minute they could access something even slightly better, they left an operational car made under the auspices of Communism, State-Owned Enterprise, and bureaucratic inefficiency sitting in the street.
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	In the case of Microsoft Windows, the idea is to use UEFI and "Secure Boot" to prevent the "Trabant" operating system from beng abandoned where people leave it.
[00:35]	MinceR	seems the entire planet is getting soviet-style economics
[00:44]	IsambardPrince	In an open marketplace where people can just choose something better, and are informed, most will.
[00:44]	IsambardPrince	So the entire PC industry is designed to just lock you into whatever came with the computer.
[00:44]	IsambardPrince	So you get a Trabant and the Berlin Wall. Windows and UEFI.
[00:45]	MinceR	i doubt that
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	There are many people who have lived under Communism who miss it. The least industrious usually are the ones who miss it.
[00:45]	MinceR	i see people choosing the worst piece of shit available all the time
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	They like being told what to do.
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	They become institutionalized.
[00:45]	MinceR	they often pay massive premiums to get particularly shitty products
[00:45]	MinceR	the market failed
[00:45]	MinceR	and central planning also failed
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	It's like those who spend 40 years in prison and can no longer live without it.
[00:46]	MinceR	humanity is a failed species
[00:46]	MinceR	IT professionals can't expect the IT industry to offer any decent products anymore, because the market is swamped with idiots who buy the most malicious and broken shit they can find en masse
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	If you spent your whole life in prison where you had a bed and it wasn't a good bed and a cell to sleep in and it wasn't a good cell, and some meals and basic healthcare, you essentially lived under Communism.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	It was the government all around you telling you where you would live.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	What you could eat.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	Which task to perform.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	Sleep over there.
[00:48]	IsambardPrince	You have Hepatitis? Okay, we're not treating that but you have healthcare because a court says so.
[00:48]	IsambardPrince	Come back when you need a band-aid.
[00:48]	MinceR	here dumbass people kept saying that communism was better until they managed to restore it
[00:48]	IsambardPrince	There's yur healthcare.
[00:48]	MinceR	now romanians and bulgarians live better than hungarians
[00:49]	IsambardPrince	My second cousin is a convict living in an Alabama prison.
[00:49]	IsambardPrince	He eats all he can during breakfast.
[00:49]	IsambardPrince	He says the other meals are impossible to identify and sometimes have bugs.
[00:49]	IsambardPrince	But for breakfast it's things like biscuits and gravy and sausages and some fruit and milk and coffee.
[00:50]	IsambardPrince	He smuggles in cell phones. So we get calls from him sometimes because he's bored and there are no guards around him on patrol at that point.
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	He doesn't have much to do in his cell, but he is allowed to have books, so he's read thousands of books.
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	They're not going to let him out for a long time.
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	He didn't murder anyone, or rape anyone, but he is a felon.
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	It's the south where they don't tolerate felons or habitual felons, and he's both.
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	So he's cooked.
[00:52]	MinceR	funny, the diddler-in-chief is also a felon, yet they're not keeping him locked up

[00:59]	IsambardPrince	German roaches are the worst kind.
[00:59]	IsambardPrince	They breed prolifically. They infest everything. They complain a lot. They have weird little cars where the oil filter is higher than the engine.

[01:02]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, They pretend like there's a legal requirement that nothing happens if you're the President.
[01:02]	IsambardPrince	New York could have thrown him in prison and slammed the door on him and said "He's not getting out, fuck off."
[01:03]	IsambardPrince	They aided him after a performative stunt of convicting him.
[01:04]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, It would have been better to do nothing.
[01:04]	IsambardPrince	The "trial" played right into his hands of making a martyr out of him, though nothing happened.
[01:07]	MinceR	i prefer martyrs that get killed

[02:44]	IsambardPrince	There have been hundreds of talented black artists in the music industry.
[02:45]	IsambardPrince	Very few of them lately. But that's not just a black thing obviously.
[02:45]	IsambardPrince	The entire industry went into decline then utter shit.
[02:45]	IsambardPrince	But black music has decayed into mumble rap.
[02:45]	IsambardPrince	Which is very tragic because now there's nothing when they were some of the most talented musicians.

[03:11]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Smith had dark black sunglasses.
[03:11]	IsambardPrince	And he hated humans passionately. He wanted to destroy the Matrix and kill all humans and end his own existence so he could stop dealing with us.
[03:12]	IsambardPrince	He hated humans so much that he'd rather commit suicide than put up with us any longer.
[03:13]	IsambardPrince	It even broke his programming. The other agents didn't seem to give a shit about us and just did what they were made for.

[04:03]	IsambardPrince	I met my neighbor Bill.
[04:03]	schestowitz[TR2]	i like turtles
[04:04]	IsambardPrince	He's the owner of the two cats I see outside.
[04:04]	IsambardPrince	He lets them out during the summer months,.
[04:04]	IsambardPrince	He told me to please not feed them, but I can give them treats.
[04:04]	IsambardPrince	They are very well fed cats.
[04:04]	IsambardPrince	So I assume he is feeding them something good.

[04:17]	IsambardPrince	Cats are fine.
[04:17]	IsambardPrince	He also said they tear the place up a lot more than cats.
[04:17]	IsambardPrince	The most he's had to do about cats was replace some carpet or paint something.
[04:17]	IsambardPrince	But he said dogs tend to destroy more things.
[04:20]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I'm glad that Mark says no dogs.
[04:20]	IsambardPrince	The slumlord that took over our last building is allowing dogs.
[04:20]	IsambardPrince	On top of the roaches and busted windows and leaky roof, there's dog shit in the hallways.
[04:24]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The landlord was worse than the roaches.

[05:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	This entire legal immigration is joke. Its based on who pay more to political campaign. Doctors can charge $600 for 5 months visit but they have problem with US engineers. If we really need anything , we need doctors and nurses in rural America only but doctors union quickly shut down even tele health for GP visit too but millions in IT and other field can work from offshore and steal our jobs. Why ?
[05:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	Entire legal immigration is to suppress wages only. That is why fake GOP/ RINO / MAGARINO dont want to fix joint employer and Independent contractor rule which is used to do all dirty games in employment practice. This is root cause and solution for all problems we face in USA. Companies able to do all dirty games due to this two rules only.
[05:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	That is why all major new visa categories added during GOP presidency u name it like H1b, F1, l1 etc..
[05:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	Reality is , 95% f1 students , 95% H1bs and 99% offshore locations from same countries( India / China / Philippines/ Mexico/ Canada ) . Funny, wait period of green card is more than 10 years is for those 4 countries only.
[05:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	Its like sun and moon ( day and night) happening at the same time. Sorry its not possible at all. I can not argue that we have problem with education system because those folks are coming in millions from those countries where corporate America is importing millions on H1b saying we have skill shortage due to poor education system. Funny , isnt it ?
[05:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	Its like Iran need nuclear energy where they have too much crude oil which is 500% cheaper and very easily available. What is indent there ?
[05:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	US politicians must change their behavior as people will not tolerate any longer.
[05:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	JD, used fiery words against H1b when running for senate seat but did nothing ( not a single word ) after wining election. Infact people all over internet shared photos where he and his best buddy Vivek talking about H1b during their collage days. JDs wife supported many organizations who heavily sponsor H1b. Tennessee house guy block every strict policy against immigration by voting NO and claiming he is MAGA with some weird r

[06:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Under Satya Nadellas leadership, Microsoft:
[06:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	- Turned GitHub into an AI tool.

[06:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	- Made PowerPoint slides which said Microsoft Loves Open Source.
[06:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	Under Ballmer, Microsoft was openly hostile towards Linux.  
[06:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	Under Nadella, Microsoft is trying to be a wolf in sheeps clothing as they pursue EEE.
[06:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	I may have disagreed with Ballmer on many things (those are well documented), but at least he was honest about his views and strategies."
[06:27]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, Indians are more insidious than white people.
[06:27]	IsambardPrince	White people who are utterly evil at least usually come directly at you.
[06:28]	IsambardPrince	Indians are used to pretending they're something they aren't.
[06:31]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Every time an Indian takes over a business, watch your wallet.
[06:31]	IsambardPrince	They're selling you some shitty product.
[06:31]	IsambardPrince	Or they'll just run off with your money.
[06:31]	IsambardPrince	Or they'll lie about what's going on in there.
[06:32]	IsambardPrince	Not saying white people can't do any of that, but we're not exactly masters of it in the same way.
[06:32]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], There's some Chinese people like that too, not as many, but some.
[06:32]	IsambardPrince	Like those ones that run dirty restaurants where they save money by not keeping food at temperature and pouring in leftovers that have turned.
[06:32]	IsambardPrince	You'll shit your guts out for five days if you eat it.
[06:33]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], If you go out for Chinese food here, at the buffet, you have to time it right.
[06:33]	IsambardPrince	If you go in the middle of the day on an off day, they leave it out too long, it gets cold.
[06:34]	IsambardPrince	If you go there like Friday or Saturday night, people are eating it too fast. They have to replace it often.
[06:34]	IsambardPrince	There's nothing worse when you go to a buffet restaurant than when you get them during off hours and everything's sat there too long.
[06:35]	IsambardPrince	So what these Indians go in there and do, is they gut the business.
[06:35]	IsambardPrince	They try not to spend anything on it.
[06:35]	IsambardPrince	It's a joke among people who like wristwatches to be very careful what you buy on eBay. You could get the "Mumbai Special".
[06:36]	IsambardPrince	They cannibalize various parts of broken watches.
[06:36]	IsambardPrince	Try to pass it off like you're getting a deal.
[06:37]	IsambardPrince	They especially like to do that with Seiko 5s for some reason.
[06:38]	IsambardPrince	Popular model. Many made. They can go through piles and piles of broken watches that they probably have people ship there from all over.

[08:39]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Piyush would never call a professional.

[19:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	At the end of the day, its all about money and stocks performance when the stock market weighs trillions of dollars; and when pension funds and investors control the boards of directors, employees are then no more than just numbers that can be replaced. Corporations need to have access to a large pool of young cheap hungry workers to make them compete fiercely.
[19:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	In addition, cheaper H1Bs help transitioning job outsourcing more easily to India and other cheap countries using native language during countless hours without complaint and resilience; at the risk of deportation if they dont outperform.
[19:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	American corporations are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars in lobbyists in Washington DC to defend, promote and grow H1B program that will only expand because there is too much at stake.
[19:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	So H1B program is a win win situation for corporations, for stock investors, but not for American peon employees

[20:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	"
[20:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	I may be wrong, but the H1B visa program is the reason why organization simply layoff employees and replace them, rather than re-train, re-skill, provide help and support for continuing education. Many folks that could have been given the opportunity to move to do something else are canned, "because they don't have the skills" as opposed to letting people move from a knowledge perspective with market needs.
