Nah, we will go back to the days when the whole world consists of this valley and the one next door.
When our village attacks those bastards from over the mountain we will call it a world war.

The French will never agree.
Their stance has always been, if France is threatened we will use every weapon in our arsenal.
They do not have end the world stocks of nukes like the US or Russia so their attitude is, “Fuck with us and we will end you.”
Yes. And 75% of car driver believe they are above average as well…
Capitalism also needs a functioning environment to continue…
Want to replicate the fast food taste?
Add shit loads of sugar, salt and butter/oil when you cook.
Like add three times more than you normally would, then add some more.
Well, at least the front hasn’t fallen off.
Cool.
Let the short selling begin.
Give them advice about how to do it to someone else.
The vast majority of people (i include myself in this) will fuck it up in some way and end up harming themselves. If you seek to destroy someone’s life and you don’t actually end it, you leave behind someone who has nothing left to lose and is highly motivated to find who is responsible.
If you destroy someone’s life they may end yours.
Still worthy of pity
Not from me. They are adults, they made their bed. Their children are the real victims.
To be happy at other people’s misfortune is not ok.
I honestly don’t think this applies here. This is a direct result of their own actions. No one forced them.
To me this is a case of: You reap what you sow.
Did you read the comment you replied to or did you just spit out this pre-packaed reply that addresses nothing the original comment raised?
99% of the times wrong
Person who sounds like they have a sample size of one but are happy to extrapolate to the entire population…
Simply put.
We wouldn’t notice anything.
Our perception of the world would be based only on the compute cycles and not on any external time-frame.
The machine could run at a Million Billion hertz or at one clock-cycle per century and your perception of time inside the machine would be the same.
Same with low ram, we would have no indication if we were constantly being paged out to a hard drive and written back to ram as required.
Greg Egan gave a great explanation of this in the opening chapter of his Novel Permutation City
Nah, that will come 3 months later when to keep providing a world class service they will have to discontinue the free accounts.
But don’t worry, they will give existing customers great upgrade deals.
unlimited file transfers, unlike competitors.
Looking into my crystal ball…
I give this 2-3 months before file transfers are limited due to multi-terrabyte daily transfers from accounts hosting pirated media.
The battle scenes are a direct ww2 rip off. (Ships in space having dog fights and flying like planes in atmosphere.)
The story takes many elements from Dune.
Ah, this brings back memories of my first troll account.
I know, I have seen them.
I was sysadmin for a Bankruptcy and Insolvency Firm for more than a decade and walked into 100s of businesses on the point of failure. Many of them could not be saved simply because their systems were so bad it was better for a buyer to buy their equipment and start with a clean sheet.
The ice cream business was going under because the partner who had been the access self starter had an argument with the others and had walked out 18months ago.
The access system ran the entire business (accounting and wages were on other programs but the db feed them data) and he was the only one who had any idea.
Shit started to go wrong and they had no idea what to do.
I believe you. I can even guess the story.
In the late 80s/early 90s a staff member (self taught in office/access) quickly threw together something at the request of a manager as a stop gap wile a new proper system was specked out.
The person learned as they went and the system grew in functionality and complexity until the term spaghetti code was a massive understatement. It became their job.
The new proper system never arrived and they have been making do for the past 30-40 years.
I ran into the same thing a decade or so ago and it was a nightmare, but it was just an ice cream franchise, not prison related
I’m still so pissed that The Peripheral was canncelled.
