Fuck Google! Every time they launch some service and you get used to it, they fucking shut it down. I had Google music and now it’s gone. Just got into podcasts about a year ago and again they are shutting that shit down. Maybe I need to switch and be an appletard?
Kept you from spending money on Apple so did it’s job.

Had dinner tonight with an IT VP from Amex tonight and he said they still use mainframes. WTF? Next I will learn that Facebook is fundamentally run on an abacus.

Something like 70% of financial does. Don’t want to work for them, sweatshops and if anything goes wrong they find the lowest ranking person they can pin it on and fire them.

He was saying that the culture was good at Amex and they didn’t have retention issues. From his standpoint though it probably was.

The pressures are immense, every minute down is millions lost. The computers really are their business.

@Kilemall pretty normal these days. For the amount of money AMEX spends on infrastructure every year, it better stay up.

lol no, honestly had completely forgotten about this forum until going through my yearly password updates in my PW manager. So, hi, I now recall this site’s existence.
But seriously, I used to sell into AMEX, they spend a shit load on infrastructure.

If no set of moral ideas were truer or better than any other, there would be no sense in preferring civilized morality to savage morality, or Christian morality to Nazi morality. In fact, of course, we all do believe that some moralities are better than others . . . . The moment you say that one set of moral ideas can be better than another, you are, in fact, measuring them both by a standard . . . admitting that there is such a thing as a real Right, independent of what people think, and that some people's ideas get nearer to that real Right than others."
