El Pacto de la Época. Mi primera novela.
Una disquería. Un ticket mojado por la lluvia. Un flyer que no debería existir. Tres amigos que empiezan a notar lo que nadie más ve.

Ya que estamos en campaña, aquí mis propuestas del mismo nivel que ofrecen los candidatos:
- si has sido funcionario y/o político, al morir tus bienes vuelven al estado. No se pueden heredar
- hay que ofrecer jubilación con 75% del salario a todos los funcionarios. Sin reemplazo
“Si eres tan inteligente no creo que te enamores de algo tan poco interesante como el dinero”
Pero no creo que sea algo fácil de entender.
No vale la pena usarlo como respuesta, es más fácil decir “tengo problemas para relacionarme” y pasar a conversaciones más útiles.
"Si tan inteligente eres por qué no eres millonario?
@Recuenco da una respuesta a @JordiLlatzer que me ha recordado al (recurrente) personaje de ficción Nera Vivaldi de Edward Packard... (1/3)

No lo acabas de entender, en Estados Unidos han votado en contra de un presidente corrupto, cuya familia se ha enriquecido durante su presidencia, sin escrúpulos, capaz de pactar con los peores enemigos de su país antes que buscar el bien de sus ciudadanos.
En España ese eres tú
Tontos hay muchos, pero algunos insisten en no pasar desapercibidos.
Infantiloides también hay muchos, pero la mayoría tienen menos de 12 años de edad.
¿Dónde debo presentar mi nómina?
Aún estoy esperando mi monóculo, que me asignen el ama de llaves y el mayordomo.

The web rewrite is working.
On a slow connection, the old X web took more than 22 seconds to show the first post on a profile. The new X web does it in 2.7 seconds. Here's how we did it, and how we're rolling it out one country at a time.

Was chatting with an experienced architect last night. She said that what used to take them 1.5 years of work (turning architectural designs into construction-ready drawings), now takes them *8 minutes* with AI.

¿Y si dejamos de mirar cada incidencia por separado y empezamos a preguntarnos a quién beneficia este clima de caos ferroviario en plena campaña electoral? Los sabotajes deben investigarse hasta el final, caiga quien caiga.

Finance called IT because a customer owed us $240,000 and nobody could find them.
Customer name: TEST CUSTOMER DO NOT USE.
I recognized it immediately.
I created that account two years ago to test our billing software.
It had a fake address.
A fake phone number.
The contact email was [email protected].
Apparently Sales found the account last quarter and used it to demonstrate our new quoting system.
Someone accidentally converted the demonstration quote into a real order.
That triggered an invoice.
The invoice went unpaid.
Our collections software sent seven payment reminders to [email protected].
Nobody responded.
Finance escalated the account to a debt collection agency.
The agency spent three weeks trying to locate TEST CUSTOMER DO NOT USE.
They reported the company had no registered address, no employees, and no known assets.
Finance classified the account as high-risk.
Yesterday Legal asked me for the customer's original contract.
I explained there was no customer.
They asked whether we could prove that.
I said I personally invented the company.
Legal said that wasn't sufficient documentation.
Apparently writing "DO NOT USE" in the customer name doesn't legally establish that the customer doesn't exist.
We're now paying $8,000 for an external auditor to determine whether a company I made up owes us $240,000.
Finance has asked me not to delete the account until the investigation concludes.
It's our third-largest customer this quarter.

Un internaute vient de démontrer comment ruiner le parti socialiste. 😂
Avec un script de téléchargement automatique sur le site du PS pour ÉPUISER ses 16 millions d'euros de budget.
Via sa propre taxe au gigaoctet.
Les économistes ont un nom pour ce phénomène : l'effet cobra.
En Inde coloniale, le gouvernement 🇬🇧, inquiet du nombre de cobras à Delhi, avait offert une prime pour chaque cobra mort.
Les habitants ont commencé à élever des cobras pour toucher la prime. Quand le programme a été annulé, les éleveurs ont relâché leurs stocks. Il y avait plus de cobras qu'avant.
Même chose ici.
Des partis veulent taxer les données et limiter les téléchargements. Résultat : des ingénieurs qui créent des scripts qui téléchargent ET ruinent les partis politiques avec leur propre loi (le jour où ils l'appliquent).
C'est du génie. 😂

basically this
The White underclass is a miracle, and probably why the West has succeeded.
Thomas Frank wrote “What’s the Matter with Kansas” to explore why poor Whites don’t vote for socialist policies that would (narrowly, in the short-term) benefit them. Of course he concluded it was about racism, as he was predetermined to do by his ideology.
But I actually think he highlighted an incredibly important fact: poor White Americans, uniquely among underclasses globally, don’t vote for socialism.
The typical dynamic is rich people trying to keep what they have and poor people trying to take it. But the American lower-class White does not behave this way, because he has a deontological aversion to government interference. The collection of attitudes and beliefs described as “rugged individualism” are often assessed in terms of how they impact the individual, but I think it’s much more important to consider how they impact a nation.
(White) America has the world’s least resentful or grasping underclass. This is a treasure. They should be preserved and rewarded. Many might be net-negative fiscally in a narrow sense, but they are hugely net-positive if you consider their votes. Trump famously said “I love the poorly educated.” He was right to say this. Every nation has an elite. No other nation has such a high quality of virtuous common people.
Tenemos el mejor Ministro de Transportes de la historia de nuestra democracia.
Rigor, datos, empatía y contundencia.
Solo me queda aplaudir a @oscar_puente_
