when i was a kid i had a phobia of looking up at very tall structures from the ground because i felt like i was going to be somehow transported to the top. reading the graham's number wiki article gives me a similar feeling

divabot posted:"is that a capital two" I was playing a stupid game over the weekend that actually made the number keys output the symbols above them if capslock was on. I had never encountered that before.

Though if you took the entire observable universe, and divided it up into Planck volumes (A cube with a Planck Length on each side) and stored one base-10 digit of Graham's number in every one of the cubes generated this way, you still would not have enough room to store the number.

For years I thought Graham's number was the undisputed champion of BIG NUMBERS. Last year I learned about Rayo's Number https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3l0fPHZja8

lmao this is giving me flashbacks to when I worked in a computer shop and would speed up customers’ PCs by uninstalling Norton. https://twitter.com/doctorow/status/1478479483585933312?s=21 Somehow they keep making it worse

A few years back I ran an on-site pentest for a dude who was doing that job for a credit union, but didn't care about the result because they had decided they didn't need IT staff and were ditching him the next month.

Renegret posted:Robert Half is the only recruiting company that's an instant no for me. Yeah. I apologized for being flippant in my response, but literally told them lol good luck. Work yourself to death 14-16hr/day and be oncall 24/7. Guarantee the head of the company says things like "we're really more like a family here!" and other such red flag bullshit.

The company are better off seeing what MSP they can get for their budget at that point, at least then you have a bus factor greater than one.

It looks like they have an MSP on call if needed but lol you are going to have to write up a novel to justify them paying for a few hours of their time.

I have a client I've been trying to see about upgrading their internet from 20/20 to gigabit fiber. They pay $900 a month for a connection that was considered mediocre in 2005. I have spent 6 hours over 3 days trying to get AT&T to give me info on upgrading but not one single department can even find their account number anywhere. Turns out, this connection is so old, that the branch of AT&T that supported it doesn't even exist anymore. I literally can't do anything with it. But I can convert it into a small business account that is 1gig up/down for $150 a month. They've been paying $900 a month for this connection for over 15 years So I get to tell these people I'm about to increase their internet speed 50x while also saving them $700 a month. I better get some kudos for this.

On Feb 4 2020 I directly quoted one of your posts with my contact info and asked anyone interested in a meetup to contact me so I could coordinate something. Several people reached out and we eventually met up for some beers. You never did.

It's AT&T though so you will have them put the order in and then they will get cut off, and then after you complain someone will tell you the only thing the company can offer to that location will be DSL. So don't celebrate too early.

Well they already have fiber. It’s just an insanely old account. I’m not worried about the infrastructure.

And you're going to get in deep dogshit for even suggesting that this client do this thing and and
