Would you rather they ended up with zero dollars?
Yes.
The only terms under which I could potential accept tax money being used to save a company from a collapse leading to massive layoffs, is if the resulting company is also made entirely employee owned.
When you take into account inflation and the overall market gains over that time, they absolutely did not make their money back.
I’ve been using the tagging feature exclusively for these people. I don’t want to block anyone so I give them my Scarlett letter. Then I know to skip past their commentary on any topic that is so much as poltical adjacent.
I did try to engage originally but it’s literally like talking to Trump supporters online, they immediately go for personal attacks and any evidence that goes against their belief system is ignored.
Lemmy is just people who don’t like things.
And it’s all incredibly lower effort distastes. I wonder how much of it is because there is an non-insignificant portion of the user base that came here not by choice but because they’re too toxic for Reddit and got account banned.
Our code enforcement people don’t cite the individual workers until their third trip to the site in which they’re told to stop.
It’s incredibly frustrating how everyone thinks the government shoild just steal roll over people on these things. These things are done this way because sometimes the fine is wrong.
Everyone wants heavy immediate enforcement until they are the target and enforcement notice.
Having a vendor explicitly supporting it…epic is an understatement.
Bitcoin. 120k. 2025.
The lesson is, have nukes.
But in that link:
it is unknown whether Nobel Prize winners are more prone to this tendency than other individuals.
Later there is Freedman quote about how he has been asked about topics he has no expertise in because he has Nobel. But that makes it an issue for people who are elevating a Nobel prize winners opinions of those topics. It’s seems unreasonable to expect Nobel prize winners to self censor in an effort to avoid this.
Citation needed.
Everything I’ve read indicates well educated people, specifically those with high analytical a abilities are less susceptible.
Education isn’t immunity. And not everyone who claims they are educated as well educated, but people aren’t earning nobels after barely passing some certification program.
it’s because every device connected to a cell halves the bandwidth available to each device, and after something like 30-40 devices the cell is full.
I don’t know where you’re getting this from. There not how cells have worked since at least 3g, sort of sounds like how consumer grade WiFi hardware operates.
Towers are designed with sectors that are directional and each can support thousands of devices but those can’t handle 10k people at a stadium.
If you had bothered to read the article youd have read they are talking about how stadiums are now using distributed antenna systems (DAS), which is basically hundreds of antennas spread over the venue and fed directly into fiber. Each one is designed to handle a small section. The carriers do need to hook into the endpoint here so this isn’t something that can be setup on a whim.
I don’t see it mentioned but there are also mobile units, cellular on wheels (COWS) are common one and they really easy to spot if know to look for them. Basically a cell tower on trailer that can use microwave for the back haul for when on site fiber isn’t available.
If you end up at a venue and can’t get service it’s because the venue is too cheap to use any of these existing options. They could also be using some outdated antennas, LTE can’t handle as many connections as the new 5G stuff.
Nah, need to go straight to 9, 3x3 matrix. It’s acceptable to pause at 6 if you are budget conscious.
Yes. It’s all bad. The solution is to get rid of these political stooges. Dealing with capitalists is a different topic. There is some cross over with the poltical stoogery but that’s all there is.
Apple is doing this instead of requiring app developers to implement and maintain their own system, which is what Android is doing.
The question comes down to who trust more, any random app developer or a single entity.
For example this means meta doesn’t have to verify their iOS users because iOS already has.
I’m sure most people in this thread are coming at this all from a morally superior position about how they don’t use meta but they also don’t use iOS devices so this is another bit of outrage.
No one here is actually anything besides get upset about something that doesn’t effect them. The internet has become a silly place.
On temporary contracts and at reduced wages of course because times are tough.
Software engineers predicted this would happen. The percentage of developers that love fixing other people’s code is essentially zero, fixing ai code is even smaller.
If they require low wages, they’ll only get the worst of the worst. Expect this phase to repeat until they are forced to hire for competence and pay above market rate required to convince senior developers to deal with not just the ai mess but all the failed attempts to turn it around.
There is a branch of battery research that is only focused on grid storage. It’s the last piece to make solar and to a less extent wind unbeatably affordable.
In a home solar setup, batteries are the other half of the cost and have not fallen as fast as the cost of the panels themselves, the other half of the cost. For fully off grid setups, they quickly become the main cost.
k.
Calling them boomers insults boomers.
They behave exactly a child does when a parent forces an apology.
They have the words they’re expect to say so they do say them but they don’t undersranr why, they definitely don’t mean it and they lack the restrain to not doing whatever they apologized for over and over.
Then it doesn’t happen. Your fear is not my fear.
