I resisted the urge to post the text of the article here because the article is actually all about the simple clean and open approach that made the web good at its genesis. You couldn’t get anything further from the ad infested, tracking, AI garbage and hot take nonsense that the modern web is infested with right now.
Visit the site, read, bask in its glorious simplicity. Go and do likewise.
RIP most encryption?
You are right that the tariffs are inflationary. As to whether or not businesses would just accept a hit to their “excess profits” to pay inflated wages is where you need to find research for your specific country. I can tell you though that for every company with “excess profits” there are a couple of smaller ones just scraping by. Not every company would be able to afford inflated wage costs, nor would every customer base accept the increased price in goods and services. In short, it has a choking effect on the most vulnerable companies and creates an environment where the larger ones hoover up competition and create a less competitive environment, which is bad for everyone.
but I suspect
is doing a lot of work here, don’t you think?
Consider finding a reputable source that adds some credibility to your view?
Very interesting thanks
When people trade their time or skills with each other locally there is mutual benefit and all the value of that trade naturally stays in the community (because it often doesn’t involve cash, and even where it does it’s off the books). Once someone spots these kind of good things (unofficial homework club, meal sharing, unofficial community kitchen etc) and tries to make it a more organised co-op so that more people can be involved, the co-op now has to register all its activities and pay taxes, which has the effect of removing some of the value from the community. If it’s an area seeing underinvestment from local government (as many poorer areas are) then there’s a great risk that’s a net-negative for the community even if the co-op is doing a “good thing”. There’s a critical mass at which the local community receives a net benefit and I wonder if many good ideas ever make it that far.
See: tax treatment of co-ops in the UK. I’m sure there are parallels in the US.
There’s lots and lots of low level community support, bartering and exchange. But once a good natured soul tries to organise that into something… taxes!
They don’t say whether he’s actually alive lol
At the meeting for employees with concerns about the ‘efficiency’ drive
Elon: “ok, anyone with the time to come to a meeting like this is clearly not busy enough, you’re fired”
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s dressed as a cop pretending to look for himself
It’s ok, I convened a kangaroo court similar to his here in my lounge while his plane was in freefall and we concluded we should entrust him to the care of gravity.
Honestly makes me wonder why Russia has gone to this enormous trauma to secure a warm sea port. There are knock off battery powered home cinemas on AliExpress with stronger projection capabilities…
It’s in times like these I like to think of a certain aerial disaster from Aliens.
It’s never too late to start programming. To get a job though you need to show you can get things done. Even if you’re going for junior roles, you’ll benefit from being able to include links to some finished projects on your CV. For most basic entry level it is far far far better to have something that was finished, and works, but isn’t perfect rather than nothing at all.
Don’t put too much trust in so called “certificates” from these schools. A company will, again, be more interested to see what you can do than what pieces of paper you’ve earned. Having said that some courses are good (some are not). Only sink money into it if you have scrutinised the reviews and seen good words about them on here or Reddit or other popular program discussion places. Don’t go off their own testimonials.
If you were willing to be relaxed on salary (if the alternative is indeed homelessness) then you ought to be able to get your toe in the door somewhere. After that don’t feel too loyal, do what you need to, but study and build study and build in your own time and keep yourself out there open to job #2.
“Sergei… Are we the bad guys?”
“I don’t even know anymore, Ivan”
Turning in a circle while turning off the transponder would seem to be a sensible thing if you suddenly realise people could be viewing your projected route…
Assuming he was elsewhere on CCTV at the time of the shooting (work, university, cafe) he should be ok.
As if being bot and astroturf infested wasnt bad enough now “search” is actually going to be Reddit spoonfeeding whatever sanitised corporate sponsored crap it feels like
Lol no thank you
