But instead of giving up, we should be trying to fix these issues.
Genuine question - how long do you think we should try to fix the issues before coming to the conclusion that they can’t be fixed through conventional means? Do you think we should resort to nonconventional resolutions at all, if the conventional ones cease to function or don’t yield results? If not, why not?
recently i started telling candidates right in the first interview that greptile offers no work-life-balance, typical workdays start at 9am and end at 11pm, often later, and we work saturdays, sometimes also sundays. i emphasize the environment is high stress, and there is no tolerance for poor work.
The fact that he ever gets through that interview without the candidate laughing themself right out of his office is just baffling.
Software engineers at the company can expect to make $120,000 to $200,000 per year, according to job postings on Greptile’s website.
So that’s the equivalent of 60k-100k at a job where you can work normal hours. I could see this maybe if he was paying more than twice the market rate for more than twice the normal amount of work, but he’s not. Not even close.
The purpose of these questions is to verify your identity; they have your DoB, and are asking the question to confirm that you are who you say you are, so if you answer N/A when the correct answer is one of the other 4, you’ll be denied access to whatever you’re signing up for.
All that said, “What month were you born in?” would have been a much better question for the reasons OP notes.
It’s still important to know that it happened and how it was done. Otherwise it’s just going to keep happening using the same methods.
I find their continued requests for donations while they do absolutely nothing to be particularly infuriating.
Honestly, Biden should just go completely off the rails, and do all the shit Trump is threatening to do, including jailing political rivals. Including the red members of the SCOTUS. Give them plenty of warning, and plenty of time to reverse their prior ruling, but start following through if they decline to. Make them respond.
It’s like he just learned the word ‘tariff’ and needs to include it in every conversation now to show it off.
Is it possibly your distro? Maybe share what you’re using, and see if others are having different luck with it?
Are you using Steam, or games from another service? I’ve only found 1 or 2 things that didn’t work immediately on Steam, but I have an absolute hell of a time getting anything off Steam to run, it’s like pulling teeth. Especially older Windows games; they’re just a non-starter most of the time.
Depends largely on how good you are at it, whether you’re willing to draw NSFW stuff, and if so, how extreme you’re willing to get with that NSFW stuff. Sad but true.
I really hate that that writer capitalizes every instance of ‘Me’, ‘My’, ‘Mine’, etc… it changes my internal inflection when reading, and really fucks up the flow of the text.
Their math is fucked.
1 in 125 devices would be 0.8%, whereas 0.008% would be 1 in 12500 devices. I mean I guess technically 1 in 12500 is “less than” 1 in 125 devices, but come on.
They later note that it captured “less than 1.5%” of the ecosystem, which… yeah, the numbers they already gave us support that, but by how much? We have no idea, because of their fucked up math.
I assume “1 in 125” is correct, because otherwise, to have sold 720,000 units, there would have had to be about 9 billion total sales in that period.
The fact that this is optional at all is just fucking wild. So much of our government has apparently been operating on a simple gentleman’s agreement and it’s only stood up because nobody challenged it until now. We’re so absolutely fucked.
Sounds more like depression than addiction. Hopefully someone with more experience can chime in, but common symptoms of depression include:
which sounds like what you’re describing. It might be worth talking to a professional.
The tone of the post I was replying to was ‘Look at these silly Americans, doing silly American things’; I was just pointing out that it’s not exclusively an American thing. Not saying it’s good.
Zelenskyy was the first one that came to my mind and I was actually just looking for how to properly spell his name (is it 1 y or 2? Various sources use one or the other and there’s no consistency), and found that page linked from his Wikipedia page (which lists it as 2 ys, for the record), so I linked to it instead of just naming Zelenskyy as my example.
There’s plenty of censorship on Lemmy, but unlike Reddit, the censorship is orchestrated by the individual server, not by a corporation in control of the whole ecosystem. Go post something pro-capitalist on lemmy.ml, or something claiming climate change is a hoax on slrpnk.net, or something anti-trans on lemmy.blahaj.zone and see how fast it gets taken down - you could consider that censorship, but the reason Lemmy is better than Reddit in this regard is that you can go post that same thing on another instance, in a community that supports those views, and it’ll stay up. It’s all up to the administration of the individual instance.
Even if you can’t find an instance / community that will espouse your unique views, you can create your own, and post whatever you like, and everyone who federates with you will be able to see it. That’s how Lemmy is resistant to censorship.
I’m not touching the lemmy.ml question with a ten foot pole, someone else can field that one.
The ILA’s president, Harold Daggett, brings in nearly $1 million a year ($902,000) in salary
Wow… I didn’t know that, but that’s kind of disgusting, too.
I think one of the best solutions for this is to offer some sort of retraining for the workers who will be displaced by automation.
The problem with retraining being the only consideration given is that unless they’re maintaining the same level of pay in whatever position they’re being retrained for, it’s not equitable. A possible improvement would be for workers displaced by automation to continue to receive salaries from their old positions for a period of time, with the percentage of their original pay rate decreasing over that time. This needn’t just be dockworkers; there’s plenty of difficult, demanding or menial jobs that could be automated, if we didn’t have this misguided sense that everyone has to have a job, no matter how unnecessary it is for a human to be doing it.
I do agree with you that automation should be the end-goal, though. We just need a better system to support anyone whose jobs are made redundant by it.
This thread is about financial fines, not jail time, but regardless, here’s the ‘The Formula’ scene from Fight Club. This is effectively how it works in the real world. The money isn’t paid back.
