Because being rich is measurable evidence that you are a better person than a poor. You have more ability to spend money, powering the economic engine, and capital to fund new ventures, either directly by starting businesses and employing people or indirectly through savings and investments.
A rich person in jail objectively harms society.
Maybe if we ate the rich and distributed their assets it would be an alternative?
Unfortunately this doesn’t say if they (Ercot) are going to comply with national regulations, which was apparently why they refused to connect in the first place.
We Texans don’t need none of that safety or reliability forced down our throats! 🇵🇷the starts at night, are big and bright! 🇵🇷
(I know that isn’t the Texas flag)
Catherine the Great is coming for tea.
It’s the New Jim Crow.
HR is there to protect the company, not help you.
Which is why they are experimenting with destroying the Houston ISD. Forcing parents to choose between sending their children to prison factories or supporting vouchers to try and get something like an education.
They have logs of him using the school’s network to visit ai audio generators, so that case will probably stick…
I think this is it. Within weeks I had downloaded every game from usenet and the only money Sega made from me was buying samba de amigo to get the maraca controllers.
It was a mistake too - so many games to play that I never committed to anything and got bored and stopped playing anything.
The hitchhikers’ radio series on cassette started my love of audiobooks. I listened to it dozens of times as a teen. Went to sleep listening to it.
You are paying to use Google, with all your data feeding their advertising machine.
I don’t really eat it anymore, but Alpha-bits was the best cereal in Canada.
You can get two more for $10 from teslas site… but I believe you need one to program them. My wife and I keep ours in our wallets, just in case phone keys don’t work or get stolen.
It’s something they “broke” recently. You used to require a physical card to pair a new phone key. I noticed when I replaced my phone that it was no longer needed. They should be able to fix it easily, but I’m sure they won’t.
You can enable pin to drive to reduce the risk, but if you have the creds and there is no 2FA on the account then you can use the app to bypass it.
Solidarity! The union makes us strong.
Same. Helping to trickle down, unlike actual rich people.
They are doing you a favor. I bought my kid a Dell laptop (xps13) for college and 6 months later the battery life dropped from 12 hours to 2 and Dell support said it was normal and refused to do anything about it. That was after the original order which was supposed to take 6 weeks for delivery (bad enough) actually took 14 weeks. It arrived two days before they left for school. Worst experience ever.
The replacement MacBook Air was delivered to their dorm the next day and has been flawless since (over a year now). It actually cost less too.
I’m actively looking for opportunities to use AI to replace the work I do, and not finding many effective ones so far. Sure it can write some crappy code for me, but writing code comes after the hard part, which is identifying the problem and how it could be solved with tech. Novel problems need novel solutions and an LLM can’t generate those.
Unfortunately it seems to work. My hillbilly relatives in AB/SK eat it up.
What makes you say that? Texas is narrowly red, and the rural vote is aging out, while the urban vote is growing. This has been pulling to the left and relatively quickly. If everyone they oppress packs up and leaves then the right wins.
If you are a company resource then you are a poor, and not an economic engine. True riches create companies and employ poors.
