  It’s a startup. He doesn’t get a golden parachute

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gallium⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Turns out he was a CEO and that was his secretary (tail as old as time

  No it wasn’t. She’s the CPO, Chief People Officer. Basically head of HR. Where did you get the idea she was a secretary?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gallium⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the CEO and CPO, not her friends. She was recently promoted, possibly related to things like this

  She’s making tens of thousands more per year to be complicit. I’ve seen people do much worse for much less money

  For basic fact checking like this, it’s basically useless. You’d have to go look it up to verify anyway, so it’s just an extra step. There’s use cases for it, but this isn’t it

  It worked for Wal-Mart

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK Texas Officials Feared Flood Risk to Youth Camps but Rejected Warning System⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  $1 million to save all those lives is way too much. That’s almost 0.00025% of an Elon Musk

  America, as a country, would sooner sacrifice a million children than tax a billionaire to support safety nets like flood warning systems

  I’ve been pouring hot grease in glass jars for decades without having one shatter. You’re severely overestimating the risks

  in the end, IT is by definition always something administrative rather than actually productive

  Lol, what?

  Might as well say mechanics are administrative too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Out of tens of millions of children, that’s nothing. It was pure fear mongering

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Genius⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Half the candidates is 25-30. It would need to be at least $10 per drink for that profit number, and that’s only if he’s getting free electricity and drinks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uber Eats or something idk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The costs of Doordash/Uber Eats gets socialized pretty heavily. Where I live, most restaurants just upped their prices 20-30% across the board to account for the DSP fees. Most of the time I’m ordering from Doordash, it’s genuinely cheaper than actually eating in the restaurant

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex has paywalled my server!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  probably SSL

  *TLS

  SSL has been deprecated for a decade at this point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minnesota Shooting Suspect Allegedly Used Data Broker Sites to Find Targets’ Addresses⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anonymous data sources are largely a myth. The idea you can have large sets of data remain anonymous is unrealistic. Once you have enough data points, it’s easy to de-anonymize almost any individual

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Protip:⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Those places don’t want to take liability for you potentially getting injured. Even if you would never sue a place for that, they have no guarantee of that, and US liability laws are absolutely ridiculous. I hope the US fixes the liability/lawsuit culture. So many things get killed by it

  (For the record, I’m not one of the barefoot people. I find it weird, but to each their own)

  NYC used to be much more dangerous. Really goes to show how mislead we can be by emotions that you feel it’s only dangeeous now
