As a senior Network engineer, Macbook Pro is my goto. Jack Black Label is good, but I still prefer Lagavulin 16yr or founders All Day IPA.

“Beat China” at what?

Miles of wire is easy and low maintenance. Miles of pipes doesn’t make sense, but water is also not hard to localize. Miles of stroads is what defines suburbia. A rural highway with a driveway every 2-3 miles defines rural living and it’s perfectly sustainable. It would be better if the rural hubs were connected to cities via railroads, like they used to be, but still they aren’t too bad as is.

The dumbest most neoliberal take ever. Maybe poor people deserve it?

Actually I take it back, dude is probably a white supremacist.

Can you give an example of one of those websites?

Not all communities are for all people. Maybe it’s refreshing that there exists a place that doesn’t have the same community principles.

Cloudflare is in an interesting space. They are a service provider (ddos protection, scalable edge caching, SSL termination, etc) that allows the highly centralized internet to function. However they aren’t a gatekeeper at all. You only need cloudflare if you are in the top 5% of internet websites by volume. So when cloudflare has a problem, Lemmy isn’t affected, but Reddit is. My blog isn’t affected, but someone like https://blog.ipspace.net/ is affected.

My personal browsing habbits meant I didn’t even realize there was a cloudflare problem until I read an article about it on Lemmy. Anyway, just a tangent, but as a network engineer I’m sure i’ll be interested in the RCA.

idk, but apparently hundreds of users also have no problem with the policy of the official platform. So maybe that isn’t the right space for you.

Even in a full-communism-now utopia, the idea of compensating people for their creative endeavers and labor is still going to happen, that compensation will be indistinguishable from “money” as it is currently used.

Maybe we will lose low effort artists but gain great music by passionate people.

You’ll never be able to find it or hear it though. The barrier to entry for AI music is so low, even lower then the “low-effort” artist you are deriding, that typical streaming sites will be inundated by it and nothing else will be found. The algorithm™ already prefers low-royalty music, and AI music will certainly have the lowest costs to play.

Sounds like someone should move to their own discord server?

Some of them sure, but more often then not they hire adjunct professors, or use graduate students on visa’s to ensure they don’t have to pay tenured professors. I say if your employee is on a visa, 10x salary is the minimum. don’t want to pay 10x salary? Well America is a large place with lots of people that are unemployed and over-educated, so maybe try to give-back to the society that you rely on.

Yes, like them being women. Very good.

They were also the only two candidates ever to push a policy like “Student loan forgiveness for entrepreneurs who open a business in a disadvantaged area for 3years.” Biden didn’t push that policy and he won, neither did trump, nor Obama. So looking at the data, it’s obvious why Hillary and Kamala lost.

Force the university to pay 10x the mean salary. That way the university is disincentivized to abuse the program. If he is truly the foremost expert in whatever field, then his salary should be a drop in the bucket compared to the grants he will need to actually do his research and it shouldn’t be a big deal.

Do you think the HR filters are useful? Do you think that your job requirements are realistic? Do you think that every company can just hire senior engineers with 5-10years experience in Rust?

You are basically listing out a huge number of issues with your hiring process, and then you are saying that the only remedy is outsourcing. What is so magic about h1bs that they understand “basic terms like SOLID or KISS,” bu all the post-filter applicants you get don’t?

It was a good thought

It was never a good thing. It was only ever intended to put downward pressure on domestic workers wages and increase the labor pool.

I would support an h1b program if the base wage had to be 10x the normal wage for the position they were hired. If you are truly an exemplary unicorn worker that can’t possibly be found in the rest of the US, then why not mandate a healthy and definitely non-exploitive wage for them?

Perhaps there could be a better way to fill those crucial teaching roles?

What kind of special insight does a former first lady have to the American electorate?

If that is what you think, you are 40years and 2 steps behind. Misogynistic rhetoric hasn’t been en vogue since the 80’s, and if you think Hillary or Kamala lost only because they were women, you really don’t have anything useful to say and instead are leaning on the trope of “common wisdom.”
