I think so, I use a different one at least

I have 2 GitHub accounts, one under a pseudonym and one under my real name. The pseudonym has probably 200+ repos and that is absolutely not a flex. Most of them are absolute garbage. Tutorials I expanded, projects I started and never fleshed out, documentation for stuff I meant to dive deep into (or sometimes actually did), etc. if a project actually moves along to a place I feel is respectable and worth showing off a bit I’ll clone it to the other account, which has like 10-15 repos maybe

That said I have no clue if this actually matters

the answer is basically all TVs are subsidized to some degree. A list is somewhat pointless because they all do some sketchy shit and as lg has recently shown they reserve the right to change the terms years after the fact with firmware updates, even if you buy a flagship model that cost 3-5k

Basically you need to use it intelligently. Either don’t connect it to the internet at all, only connect it to an intranet/isolated vlan, or (least effective) block every suspicious outgoing request with your router or a dns thing like adguard/pihole.

The alternatives are to buy a non consumer display (eg something for signage or for like a meeting room in an office) which are usually more durable but also often far more expensive (no ad subsidies), the panel quality is generally noticeably worse (unless you’re buying a mediocre tv), and you lose out on enthusiast features (earc, vrr, etc). Or you can get a solid projector; the cheap projectors are usually kind of junk but nice ones are quite nice and often (but not always, they’re increasingly “smart”) have barebones ui/os. This can be pretty impractical for your living situation though

The policy issue to overcome here in America is a robust pension system. Home values are obscene for a lot of reasons but one of the biggest reasons no one does anything about it is because for most non elite Americans the home they own is their most valuable asset and the growth in equity ends up becoming a significant contributor to retirement

Even with that the dream is over; the days of baby boomers buying houses and seeing explosive growth of 12-20k in 1960 to 200ish-k in 2010 or even gen x buying a house for 100k in 1995 and seeing it mature to 400k in 2020 are unsustainable. The people buying 250-400k houses now (like me) would be foolish to expect their homes to be worth millions in 30 years outside of hyperinflation.

But I bet money we will cling to it. It’s difficult having seen the past several generations retire very comfortably via the equity in their home, while we make the $2000 mortgage payment that will get us housing but not this benefit. Another way millennials get fucked out of something that every modern generation before them had. To be fair this one had to die but it just sucks all of this gets saddled on us because it’s not like there’s a strong likelihood social security is getting fixed in time

This schedule is completely unrealistic even with privilege

No meetings until 2pm? Doesn’t matter what industry you’re in, guarantee you interact with industries that work 8-4 and will not bend over backwards to schedule you at the end of their day. Like does this person just not go to the doctor? Or deal with banking issues?

I read it wrong at first and thought it was an actual irl theme park based on mars attacks, which would be a strange ip to choose for such an endeavor but I would still welcome it

No the rest of the comments commentary on noncompetes applies regardless of whether or not their is validity to a noncompete. Maybe that was unclear?

I don’t think you read past the second sentence of my comment in your rush to tell me I’m wrong. The rest of my comment underlines why the theory is useless. The opening is just defining why they might define a loss of noncompetes as causing irreparable harm.

I also don’t think it’s an effective strategy to solely paint the picture of the oppressed worker with hyperbolic statements and zero nuance. The worker is the oppressed person in this case and needs the advocacy for sure but you don’t win by being disingenuous

Well in theory it would, wouldn’t it? Isn’t that the point of the non compete? I have you sign it because if you utilize the skill set I gave you in the specific geographic area then my business will be harmed by you poaching clientele that would have otherwise come to me.

It’s another way of saying “fuck new small businesses, established businesses should be allowed to continue to consolidate power at the expense of everyone who comes after them” though. Aka fuck you, got mine.

It undermines capitalism. I’m not a capitalist but I thought the whole point of capitalism was to let the services and products duke it out on merit and let the best one win by letting the market decide. This is just another way we subvert capitalist ideals. we let the players who already have capital cheat to entrench their positions further and give themselves even more of an unfair advantage over anyone entering against them.

If I’m “New shop” going up against “5th generation store worth 8 million dollars with 10 locations” the odds are already hugely stacked against me, but now if I work for them and sign a noncompete I basically am barred from playing before I even try. Let alone that metaphor barely even works anymore because 99% of the time “5th generation store” is actually “global conglomerate worth 5 trillion dollars that has an army of lawyers who will either acquire you or sue you into oblivion the millisecond you become a threat”

I worked in a setting where we had to use them because people had to get audio prompts but still needed to be able to hear for situational awareness. They definitely work and work pretty well. You can even use them underwater. They can’t match the sound quality of actual headphones though. But for voice stuff or if you’re not super picky about audio quality they’re great, you can easily hear everything going on around you much more clearly than any of the “transparency modes” that modern noise cancelling headphones have because they don’t block your ears at all

This exists, kind of

There’s bonded connections in several senses

Bonded ports but this doesn’t increase throughput in the way you’re thinking. eg if I bond 2 1 gigabit Ethernet ports I can’t connect at 2 gigabits, I can connect 2 users at up to one gigabit each (or several users totaling 2 gigabits but no 1 user at more than 1 gigabit)

bonding routers can take two internet connections and combine them, which is closer to what you are probably imagining. They combine throughput, eg a 100mbit connection and a 100mbit connection become a 200mbit connection although realistically it’s not that perfect and you have to get the right services for it, not just any connection will work, it’s a rabbit hole and generally much slower and worse latency than if you just got a traditional connection. Think people using starlink and 5g internet in rural settings

There’s also something called speedify, which is software that claims to do the above in software alone, bonds two connections to combine throughput. Never tried it, reviews are mixed. Some say it works, some say it’s spotty, some say you only get the speed of the one connection, etc.

heating built in. They make the kind that have mixing but as you said the hot water is contingent on your homes supply. In my house that’s like 90-120 seconds and that is a lot of time and wasted water for bidet usage. Plus I have a vanity instead of a pedestal sink so running the hot water line would’ve meant I had to cut a hole in the vanity and get a pretty long line.

this one was a decent bit more expensive but circumvents those issues. It also adds some features like a heated seated, a blow dryer to dry you when you’re done, and nozzle adjustment to make sure you get the right spot. Downside of this is that it needs electricity but I was much more comfortable running a new gfi outlet to the toilet than I was tapping the hot water line of the sink and cutting the vanity (or running a more permanent hot water line). Outside of the outlet the install is simple, install the mount the same way would any toilet seat, slide the seat into the mount (the seat can pop out of the mount with a button so you can clean it easier, which is nice), turn the water off and drain the lines, install a t adapter, reconnect the lines to tank and seat, turn on water, check for leaks, plug into power, done

It’s definitely some bougie shit but I don’t care, I love it. I got an open box and saved about $225 (mine is a toto washlet, I paid about $275). I’ve had it for about 5 years and it’s been perfect, reviews suggest they’re bulletproof and I plan to use it basically forever. there are more brands now though that are significantly cheaper with the same exact features though but not as clear as to whether they will last as long. toto is built super solid but I don’t know if it’s worth the price premium over some of the chinese brands that have popped up on ebay and amazon

bidet with warm water hookup. the toilet seat kind, I don’t have the space for a whole extra thing

Dumb take border lining on censorship

they’re almost all owned by the same parent network (iheartmedia, which was clearchannel) so it’s stupid easy to coordinate

That shit goes back way before reddit. It was a problem on digg, on 4chan, somethingawful and other vbulletin forums, Usenet, etc. it will be a problem here and every place that comes after

It’s easier to just agree with the group than do critical thinking. It’s easier to just repost the same stupid tired joke someone else just made than to be clever. etc

Watch it happen and complain after the fact based on historical precedent. Perhaps they will later appeal to the judicial system that will not care because trump spent his term fairly efficiently jamming it full of shit. Then instead of escalating the issue they will just let it go, because “decorum”

but my (not really my) conspiracy theory for this is the opposite of open source: when someone is good at cracking games companies like denuvo track them down and offer them jobs to harden their product and take another cracker out of the scene. like I bet denuvo is just filled with nerds that spent their teenage years in sketchy irc rooms with handles like -DooMSlAyEr- and used to actually be members of razor1911 before they realized they could get game companies to pay them 200k a year
