It generates economic activity and taxes in the US and suppresses wages. Most of the H1 candidates are in shitty roles that are well defined low/moderate skill jobs for giant companies. Hire people whom you can’t actively exploit and t

Well yeah, trades suck ass. There are alot of dudes in cushy well paid office gigs extolling the virtues of trade work. It wasn’t some awful conspiracy, physical trade jobs are hard work and with no pensions or benefit protection, there’s a

Sure. But isn’t weird the betting platform is sending an app notification saying “hey bet on this dude to win $X”?

Shitposting. Yeah Google has a fundamentally broken engineering organization because some influencer dude thinks they should vibe code, with technology those presumably incompetent engineers substantially invented.

You're thinking like an engineer and making the laughable assumption that "prediction markets" are markets. It's totally unregulated with all sorts of grifts and cheats. One of the platforms was promoting a high-return

The bond covenants usually tie it to revenue and external factors. With a solar facility, it's pretty cut and dry -- the if the operator fucks up, they default, the bondholders take a haircut and someone buy the asset at auction. With

The issue with them in addition to time is a huge capital expense that needs to be amortized. Nobody wants to hold 30-80 year debt on giant capital projects that could be rendered obsolete. For commercialization, solar makes more sense as t

Those predecessor networks weren’t problem free. Many conversations to “interesting” places were monitored. The counter-reaction to this era will include additional communication control.

I get the ads about Warren Buffet’s (or other money celebrities) investment group or whatever. They are usually WhatsApp based pump and dump schemes for Chinese stocks. Facebook somehow can’t detect these obvious scams, but somehow they hav

One leads to the other. Once you have distillation everywhere, bootlegging follows. This was literally the basis of one of the first conflicts of the early federal government.

I don’t think so. I was pretty much raised in a family that was staunch Democrats and in a few cases even party officials at the local level. I was pretty young and not really caring, but I recall them being unhappy about Clinton’s last min

No, the original poster is 100% correct and if anything understating the issue. US Attorneys are enormously powerful and because federal law is so vague in many ways, attracting their attention is a kiss of death. Most of federal defense wo

People in the conservative ecosystem are very much up in arms about the pardon of Hunter Biden. Like most things in MAGAland, these matters are framed in a certain way, and all nuance is eliminated. The irony of being upset about Biden whil

No, it doesn’t erase the conviction, it “forgives” you from the perspective of the government. Commutation ends the punitive aspect of the conviction. I have a somewhat distant relative who was pardoned after being over-prosecuted by a zeal

Don’t worry, Trump 47 already thought of this, specifically threatening a state until the governor pardoned someone. https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/trump-threatened...

Well, yeah. When you turn public office into an ATM for your friends and family, one would expect that.

This is actually a good time to disrupt that, as Microsoft’s attention is not on windows and Active Directory is slowly moving to Entra, although big enterprises are mostly hybrid. Some places are using Okta for many of those functions too.

You can't answer with certainty, because the authorities aren't doing their job. No credible, informed person would conclude that there wasn't that kind of activity hapening. Trump is fairly stupid and reckless, but the 2nd a

New York is suing them for access as they have the ability to regulate gambling. The federal government is fighting this attempts, backing the company’s assertion that a “prediction market” is not gambling, and the Feds have sole regulatory

Corruption, especially blatant corruption like this undermines credibility in institutions. The fact we’re talking about this is a testament to the low standard of integrity and and morality we carry as a whole.

It did not. The Trumpist "Department of War" is stupid branding. No law passed to change the name.

Yeah the friends and family made a fortune from this, and we are teed up for the WTI options date which is… two weeks from today.

Nah, it's more like the United States is vulnerable to 50 years of reactionaries, upset about things like civil rights for African Americans and women in particular, actively working to dismantle democratic processes. That's why f

It a little different now. POTUS may not be put to bed before the sundowners hits and decide to order his minions to seize the gold on truth social.

I don’t work in defense, and neither does FedRAMP.

Ok, sure man. In the meantime before the Lenin of our age appears… In this case, don’t run around with a business account with a single user with admin privileges. Segregate privilege. Don’t share a phone number with other accounts. Don’t u

We’re hearing one side of the story from a frustrated user recounting a borderline traumatic and stressful event. The SMS only fallback is when other things have failed and they suspect that there’s been a takeover. Microsoft does something

It’s the same grift all over again. The market will drop 2-3% Monday. Jared and Jr will load up on options, WTI puts, and whatever other BS they do. Then Tuesday we’ll announce that “good talks have happened” and bridge day is delayed. Mayb
