 🖼

A two panelled meme. First panel shows a guy kneeling down beside a pool with another person up to their neck in water. The kneeling guy says "Senpai of the pool, what is your wisdom" Second panel zooms in on the Senpai's face, who says "what the fuck did you just call me"

a before and after picture of the pinpricks of light that dot the map of the USA at night. Before, is the standard night-time lights. They twinkle and glimmer and illustrate the connections we people do share. After, a vast swathe of darkness flows over the land, billowing through the mountains and the trees. There are entire cities wiped clean off the terrain, and where once there was connected constellations of man-made starlight, now only shadow remains.

 part 2/20

7. gray text on a gray background, as if to suggest the normalcy of concrete even though it's made of crushed tiny shells from a billion zillion years ago ready and waiting here for this moment, when they can be next to you in this life you've taken to, how starlight must seem to a computer! anyway, the gray text on the gray background reads: "phew, that was weird. ... anyway ..." with the dots and the anyway on a slant from one another, as if they were falling off of the page.

6. picture of the sun cast upon a sunset background, with a large tower of shadow flanked by images of birds and contrails of airplanes. there is an indicator on the blue box meaning someone who is looking at it. don't look at the sun! silly to assume that our perspective of reality is viewed from the same direction as a planetary body. anyway the face of the planet in question is [redacted] (not really but like... I'm redacting it for artistic purposes because I'm trying to convey a truth with that redaction that is important for the viewer and listener to understand. My ears when I type so fast, owwww) oh the birds are so pretty, like little things that hold their own against gravity. I'd love to watch them flutter, if only I could see every inch of the planet. I wonder if you could design a building to explode such that only a single interior building was damaged, and everyone else in the building would only hear a muffled "boom" but more like "boof" but not quite so fluttery, and more "bang" but not "ban ggg" but more like "bnf" pronounced "buh nuh fff" except a little bit more like "bmft" but without each syllable being pronounced at once, more like all four together at once. especially if you had several rooms between them. I mean, if you know when to open and close the doors so they think their region is inhabited, perfect. but if they don't know you they just pretend the building is empty... even though it's hard to find parking??? anyway theres more but no words

5. bright shocking pink and orange backgrounds. white text, the color of snow and the center of the sun (comprised of all the photons) reads "dot dot dot what" as in like "...what" then, orange text, same color as the background, contrasted against the color of the backdrop (which was purpleish pink, the color of substances unknown to humanity before like, the invention of Paint) the text reads "right. basically, fb marketplace except... F O S S" meaning F free O open S source S software. However, upon clarifying in white text on an orange background, like the color of the center of the sun (because the photons received by the outer edges of your eyes is the color of the photons that curved through your lens and activated your sensory receptors in the backside of your brain) anyway, don't look at the sun kids. the text written in that color reads: free [hastily or poorly drawn ampersand, meaning "&"], open source (with the first character S being twice as large as the others) soures pronounced like sow err sss then the last word adaman pronounced like "adamant" without the T, end text, a word meaning incredibly strong and metallic. stronger than mithril, depending on the game. Like Runescape, one of the classic MMORPGs, a genre that emerged from MUDs with graphical enhancements. I mean if you think about it runescape is just a text based adventure where you can move as many rooms as you want in one journey and where each room has "things" you can interact with from there.

8. strange colors now, of salmon and the smell of mossy rain mixed with something a little gross but... natural? I guess? in the middle is white, like marble, which makes an interesting clickety clack noise when you use it on it'self. like a marble chair on a marble floor staring out onto a marble palace or auditorium or park (tasteful trees included) (like plums and apricots and cherries and more) the text reads in black upon this surface, the color of stable ideas. written in the prose of legalese, words seem to be a little more rely able. except, this text is not legalese, but rather evoking the same idea through it's presentation. it reads "the idea is that if people have a way to engage with *everyone* (in italics for emphasis), they'll be more invested in the wellbeing of their neighbors. (craigslist, but good) with the last half of the "good" cut off, as if to suggest that it might be rude to present the whole thing, meaning it'd be better not to take it out of context. as in like, making decisions on misleading instructions designed for one thing but executed for another. oh well, I hope this doesn't take me to hell, I just want to fight for our purpose. I'm not a warrior, but I'll do in a pinch. as in "sorry craigslist you're not bad, but like just unfit for this purpose, we need something fully open source that we can read and understand and which is continually abstracted until we *can* understand it without knowing how code works sorta like design documents but

post title: After Boeing declines to pay up, ransomware group leaks 45 GB of data 384 points, 264 comments. Posted 7 hours ago. npalli 3 hours ago For an external party, having access to the 45 GB is the easy part. Now, you will need to create a company and supplier base the size of Boeing to make any use of this :-) reply lallysingh 1 hour ago I can imagine this complicating any supplier contract negotiations. "you pay X $50/unit more for the same device, etc." reply alexpotato 29 minutes ago I remember taking a procurement class in graduate school(MBA). One of the more interesting points of discussion was that when big companies negotiate purchase agreements for parts, the actual cost of the parts can be very transparent. The negotiation is generally about the actual markup e.g. "I think we should pay X% over cost. Someone, logically, brought up: "What if the company is not willing to share the cost upfront?". The professor responded: "Well, if it's a public company you can generally deduce a rough cost/part and use that as your starting point in the negotiation" Student: "Well what if the company says we're wrong?" Professor: "No problem: ask them what the correct number is. If they don't want to give it to you, ask them how you expect to have a long term partnership if you are not willing to talk openly and honestly about things like parts costs." reply continued on part 2

part 2: reply wordpad25 23 minutes ago That's kind of a softball, can easily be counted with "part costs vary a lot based on the market" or something like, regardless of cost we guarantee you this price point No business wants to share it's internal costs, it's their prime competitive advantage reply written in text reply entrance box but not submitted yet: this is an example of the difference between international trade and internal organization. the professor probably worked in a less globalized time, considering that it's only ever gotten more so. when he was involved in business, perhaps it worked that way. now, perhaps not. such is the fallacy of teaching an evolving field - students learn better by doing. trial and error is the basis of innovation, so why hamper them with trials, regulations, and accreditations? ah if only our jobs weren't tied to our wealth. perhaps then we could help wherever we wanted, and with our actions vote for our valued harders. (what we value, espouse, and are known for. the product of our labors, the design of our corrections from the base instructions, etc) sure seems a shame to waste all our effort at each corporation. Kinda makes me feel like we're solving the same problems over and over again.

perspective of the earth of the sun, when viewed without photons. at the top left of the page, there are the words "the sky is black" written in green, the color of plants and renewal. in the middle there is an orange line arcing from one edge to another, the color of sunlight and warmth. criss-crossing the sun's line there is a series of steps, moments that correspond to a larger structure. The line for this is majenta, a strange color not found in nature. on the bottom there are the words "amid the stars", written in red, the color of life and passion. this entire scene has been framed in cyan, the light of cold and un-friendliness. the portrait is arranged on a canvas like a rolled up carpet, or perhaps the perspective of the earth on the stars it's designed with few colors, perfect for an AMOLED screen. Or just OLED in general - they have this neat functionality where if you don't send color data to a particular pixel, it doesn't turn on at all. Leaving a blank surface that feels "matte" to the glossy perspective of the colored pixels. matte like the surface of a pool table, glossy like a mirror. because of this fact, an AMOLED surface can feel "textured" to the eyes in a way that the glass surface of the phone might never bely artwork such as this, when viewed on such a phone, is beautiful to me.

 I'm never remorseful for being wrong, I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings.
 
 Remorse is useless once corrected, if correction is due.
