I recently got my first software engineering job via a recruiter, it was an absolutely wonderful experience that resulted in me getting a fantastic job that pays as much as I've made in the past two years combined. I am insanely grateful for the recruiter that reached out to me and helped me along the process.
However today I got a message about URGENT NEED a Senior Java position (I am a junior JavaScript developer) to which I replied "thanks but I've recently accepted an offer and I am no longer looking for a new job"
About ten minutes later they texted me (idk i guess my number is on linkedin) demanding I reply to their message.
There isn't a single instance of the word Java on my profile that isn't connected to the word Script.
Kamala will take over the presidency when Biden's colonoscopy comes back with colon cancer.
Graphics cards will return to msrp prices.
Government action to fix container pileup issues (incentives for hiring more workers, penalties for containers in stacks for longer than x weeks) (it's my understanding this a manufactured crisis to increase profits)
James Webb will observe proof of alien life nearby
Donbas will become part of Russia
North Korea will start modernizing and trying to rehab their image
I've also a programming background however I got very intimidated by openSCAD though I think that might've just been because I had been using tinkercad for a year an a half beforehand and was just coddled.
Color me surprised, you mean regular people don't have 10k to drop on a few shares of tesla?!?!?
I'm tired of articles that take some smaller detail of an actual story and frame it as a paradigm shifting realization.
The topic of wealth inequality and/or wealth hoarding are very interesting topics that I don't feel are represented properly by headlines like "Rich people own 89% of the stock market"
Maybe I'm overly cynical but I'm sure anyone who's been interested in the stock market at all understand fully that it is purely a rich person's game and any peasants that participate are like remoras on their bellies hoping to eat the scraps.
no but back to the economic argument the supply is so significant that no one person's data is worth jack unless they're a politician or something like that. Individually its basically worthless.
1. In a capitalist society price is dictated by supply/demand
I would expect Facebook's valuation is less about knowing you like dogs and more on the fact that their advertising system allows people to show dog teeshirts directly to people who like dogs
I'm surprised the average user's data is worth even $20/year
This seems like a bit of the appeal to authority logical fallacy. Law does not make something valid good or proper and to follow laws for the sake of them being laws is missing the point of laws no? Do you actually value the purpose of the law or is it just a boolean true or false if something is illegal its bad and wrong because it's illegal?
How valuable to society are people who pretend not to be gay when it's illegal?
How much value was there in keeping black people out of the same restaurants as white people?
What value do you perceive society gains by locking people up for smoking a plant that makes you laugh?
On the contrary does it not remove value from society to stringently pursue punitive measures against something like being in possession of a gram of cannabis while higher crimes often face far less significant (relatively) consequences?
MIT should create a galactic encyclopedia to preserve human knowledge for future generations after the collapse and perhaps a group or "Foundation" to maintain it.
