[01:15:20] <tedious> If automated software is rejecting everybody's resume does that mean Skynet is attacking our economy?
[01:16:10] <AzumaHazuki> no. this is self-sabotage: the "everything is disposable and Mammon is God" mindset now has an algorithmic avatar, even if it is basically a puppet, and it's toeing the line
[01:16:17] <requerdanos> I would say not in this case. The software seems to be just doing what it's asked.
[01:16:18] <AzumaHazuki> after all, people are disposable too
[01:18:40] <tedious> If money is the goal this sounds like a stupid and ineffective way to get it.

[01:20:44] <tedious> Thanks but why are companies doing it if it's hurting them?
[01:21:02] <requerdanos> "poor search skills" seems to be the answer
[01:21:29] <tedious> What like they can't do a google search properly?

[02:37:30] <Runaway1956> those in HR don't know how to do many other jobs within the company, and they don't want to share what they know with anyone else
[02:37:44] <Runaway1956> so everyone sees a little bit of the picture, but nobody sees the big picture
[02:38:11] <Runaway1956> And, I have serious doubts whether top management really sees the big picture

[09:42:01] <FatPhil> and by "rack" I mean 20 racks.
[09:42:18] <kyonko> yes I know how SGI was into big data before they imploded
[09:42:20] <kyonko> hence XFS
[09:42:59] <kyonko> that was also around the time that google leased you a rackable scalable appliance to scan and index your network

[15:30:13] <FatPhil> kyonko: you weren't in range to feel the quake yesterday were you? Surely you must have been, I felt a central Polish 4.0 from southern Finland, and last night's was a 7.1, a thousand times more energy.
[15:32:07] <FatPhil> I'm sure most of the American west just tunes out really low tremors, as they're nothing. Feeling anything in Finland is really unusual. Interpret that however you will.

[15:39:43] <FatPhil> yupah!
[15:40:03] <FatPhil> The London Telegraph reports that the Nipah virus, which attacks the brain and has an up to 75% fatality rate, has killed a twelve year old boy who was shunted around five different hospitals because of COVID.
[15:40:31] <FatPhil> It is believed that the boy came into contact with close to 200 people, with two health workers and the boys mother already in isolation after developing the symptoms, which are similar to those of COVID.

[18:42:17] <Runaway1956> Apparently, the Taliban is preventing some aircraft in Kabul from taking off - but it's not a hostage situation at all.
[18:45:02] <FatPhil> it's a hostess situation - there's not enough coffee

[19:48:06] <kyonko> FatPhil, I've felt quakes, but I just shrug them off as mineral exploration
[19:49:11] <kyonko> lots of wierd ass shit going down around here, wouldn't surprise me if they actually put hellfire missile on the border patrol drones and blow up some trailers and motor vehicles and blame it on something else
[19:49:49] <kyonko> we had reaper and predator drones flying 24-7 so high in the sky you can't see or hear them but they can pick up the last damn photon emitted from your electronic devices
[19:57:04] * FatPhil curses the difference between (\d+)? and (\d*)
[20:01:43] <kyonko> I think all the tremors I feel... very low frequency are just vulgar well holes being shot with dynamite
[20:01:53] <kyonko> looking for ground water tables at the bed rock
[20:03:06] <kyonko> for the past 10 years, this place has been ripe with hydrogeologist exploration crews
[20:04:00] <kyonko> I used to shrug it off that the chinese were buying specifically grass fed open range cattle for beef
[20:04:13] <kyonko> the cattle trucks were coming and going 24-7-365-52
[20:04:28] <kyonko> this was pre-covid, just shrugged it off as the new old world order
[20:05:24] <kyonko> something about chinpokomans NOT wanting to buy factory farmed cattle for beef
[20:05:33] <kyonko> this goes back to the 2000's
[20:06:36] <kyonko> hydrogeologists search for water table with explosions, use ground water (which is just filtered rain water) to hydrate open range cattle
[20:07:13] <kyonko> I don't know how this is all financed, or care, all the land owners look like clueless boomers when I saw them at wal-mart, didn't have the doomsday prepper vibe
[20:08:10] <kyonko> now I've heard the explorations on the mexican side of the border user bigger booms, but there is an active war zone there, they stopped counting the dead as covid and its now "traffic accidents"
[20:14:35] <kyonko> i think the bigger booms have something to do with some southern sudan shit
[20:15:26] <kyonko> i recall seeing the images on the news of the war there, with all the russian or chinese supplied modern tanks with the radar drum "spot light" to see through the brush/bush/shrubs/saplings

[20:33:19] <chromas> stop watching my hands then

[20:40:07] <kyonko> I'm sure vladimir putin's "crazy face" are quite memorable from the kaliningrad crisis
[20:40:34] <kyonko> you do putin faces as a normal low social credit score humanoid you are getting detainment and crotchal pinching
[20:41:05] <kyonko> the putin faces were just on time with facial recognition tech
[20:41:16] <kyonko> voice printing and analysis
[20:42:10] <kyonko> kaliningrad crisis or not, they wouldn't ever dare, considering all the russians living in germany
[20:42:16] <kyonko> but hey, look at post covid israel

[21:43:23] <Runaway1956> From September 1 – October 31, 2021, you'll be entered for a chance to win when you make an eligible purchase with your $Bank Visa® debit card.
[21:43:28] <Runaway1956> No purchase or obligation necessary to enter or win.
[21:43:54] <Runaway1956> So, how does that work, I wonder? You have to make a purchase, but no purchase necessary to win? DERP!!
[21:46:40] <kyonko> I got a scam call from AARP security today
[21:46:44] <chromas> Usually there's some obscure form somewhere you can get to submit an entry
[21:46:56] <kyonko> the indians "brand" their VOIP spam calls with an "EEP" sound right after pick up
[21:47:25] <kyonko> all I am waiting for is for them to somehow figure out there are more languages than english
[21:47:49] <kyonko> the "EEP" sound branding/tagging from indian calls has been going on for years
[21:48:11] <kyonko> and they have some obvious gentlemans agreement going on that they don't call you at night, when normal people are sleeping lol wtf
[21:48:31] <chromas> so I should instantly hang up when I hear that sound?
[21:48:33] <kyonko> then there is the call that ends with "sorry you did not reveal yourself to be human, goodbye"
[21:48:36] <requerdanos> you can put your name and address on a 3x5 card and send it in to enter.
[21:48:38] <kyonko> OH I AM SO TOUCHED!!
[21:49:06] <kyonko> I remember the 1990's contest enroll scams were they switched your long distance carrier
[21:49:19] <kyonko> enroll to win a car! and now your long distance is with MCI
[21:49:42] <chromas> I remember the 'free' lego sets from cereal box barcodes
[21:50:09] <kyonko> I don't remember that
[21:50:21] <chromas> legos kick ass
[21:50:31] <kyonko> but then again, most normal people don't know why the eat, so its good that they feel pleasure for doing so
[21:50:42] <Runaway1956> When I was a kid, you had to actually send in the box tops "Proof of Purchase" thingy to get your free item
[21:50:48] <kyonko> I remember lots of dangerous kid things from the 1990's tho
[21:51:03] <chromas> yeah that was it. send in a few and get a lego boat kit
[21:51:09] <Runaway1956> I saved Kellog box tops for months, to get a real working submarine that I could play with in the bathtub
[21:51:10] <kyonko> bazooka gum, cracker jack, archie comics.....
[21:51:30] <kyonko> and how many kids will figure out the "water cycle"?
[21:51:44] <kyonko> how water is the universal solvent because god never existed
[21:52:05] <kyonko> how mutants without colons or bladders didn't survive to reach reproductive age
[21:52:15] * Runaway1956 thought alcohol was the universal solvent
[21:52:30] <kyonko> alcohol...... dissolve collodion
[21:52:30] <Runaway1956> alcohol tends to melt the clothes off of women
[21:52:55] <kyonko> remember when photography was dangerous and expensive?
[21:54:05] <kyonko> hannibal goodwin, george eastman and something something carbutt all invented 35mm film at the same time in the 1890's
[21:54:32] <kyonko> its like some kind of radio I swear
[21:54:37] <chromas> cheeky carbutt
[21:55:12] <kyonko> did guglielmo marconi, jagdish chunder bose or nikola tesla invent radio in the 1890's?
[21:56:02] <requerdanos> wasn't the radio spectrum already in existence at that time?
[21:56:16] <kyonko> it always existed
[21:56:30] <kyonko> james clerk maxwell did the math decades before covering "almost everything"
[21:56:49] <kyonko> he took the first color photgraphs, some diamonds and tartan plaid ribbons
[21:56:58] <kyonko> he was scottish
[21:57:40] <kyonko> he did very complex paper drawings that can only be seen in modern days as "computer generated"
[21:58:16] <chromas> phong shading?
[21:58:50] <kyonko> I don't know what its called, but I've seen it going back to the renessaince
[21:58:58] <kyonko> I'm not connosieur
[21:59:38] <kyonko> its kinda weird how early middle ages art is terrible then gets really good by the 1400's
