This is the kind of thing where a home server being hacked could be used as a proxy/dumping/holding spot with the homeowner not even knowing… until that knock. Proving you didn’t know on your own svr.. prob impossible.

Promised housing improvements while selling approval for a deal but it turns out you won’t profit after the market changes? Back out and protect your investors - screw housing. Sigh. I hate corporations.

So when low wage mechanical turk costs turn out cheaper than engineering to improve driverless vehs… this will just be another exploitative gig job for folks in remote locations? I don’t trust proper attention will be given to improvements

Learning here - long time sw eng, but mostly back ends. So I’m starting down the emulator path. Would this work with the display/ui portion of an emu like an 8080/chip8? Since the logic is in the opcodes, most of what I think is

Why is wanting an improved work life balance (and thus improving things like health (mental/physical) and family and happiness) seen as not wanting to “work hard”? Gone are the days of 10x emps, power badasses doing laundry and eating

For you. But not for everyone. Thus making “its calories” overly simplistic.

I wish the data would be combined with things like Vanderbilt’s BioVU databanks, etc, for actual translational research and not for swift for profit research. This is just another version of “socialized research privatized profit.”

Yeah but self hosted means someone out of laziness will expose a port so they dont have to be home to sync or configure wireguard, etc… and/or since all ips are scanned anyway… Complacency will result in more leaks and less knowledge o

I wish there were more news articles with linked citations like medical/science journals did/do. Just write that crap like a research paper and I’d be totally cool with that.

You don’t expect it, but it is. And all I am saying is that I’m not surprised it isn't already “part of the process.” Just because it’s not part of our filing process doesn’t mean the data and its relationships don’t exist. Heck, I’m t

Deductions and credits: I posit, they could know based on how interlinked everything is. You have 3 kids registered in school? It’s in a db. Buy an EV? It’s in a db. But yeah- fair point. There are lots of “quiet” transactions for sure, but

Yes. We have to wait for forms to be mailed, or emailed, or avail. Download them or enter them in the tax website. Even though the fed already knows. Forms are things like: main employment, side jobs over 600, bank interest, car/hous

Because “the economy” is defined by the author at any given time. For the poor and working class: the economy may be terrible. For the rich and owners of capital: it may be fantastic, if they want to impress, or terrible if they want to lay

Capitalism will always figure out how to pretend to mold “supply and demand” to enable maximum profit extraction.

I don’t understand some of the dynamics sometimes. For instance, I am 44, been coding professionally since 18. Zero college. I make 106k in CT in a position focused 75% with Java/Spring for modbus/motion control. (Industrial aut

This is just bog standard capitalist formula. Doing it yourself puts you in control of the expectations. Taking money from a firm is really just a camouflaged “employer:employee” relationship and the desire for larger returns, “more”, will
