The far right has been there from the jump. The KKK used to pull armored truck heists and use the proceeds to buy computers so they could collaborate on the early internet.

The ATM is the most manipulative machine on the casino floor.

$10 fee to withdraw $20? That’s 50%! Better bump it up to $40 so you get a better deal. And while you’re at it, $60 sounds even safer.

Knowing this ahead of time, you might hit a branch ATM on the way, but now you’ve just moved the dilemma: How much is enough to make sure you don’t pay a single fee?

Hard to correctly anticipate if you’re going as a group and don’t know how long you’ll spend on the floor or what games they like to play etc.

So once again you’re incentivized to overestimate and load up on cash. And if you do end up going to the ATM despite this, you better believe you’re gonna “make it worth it” even more than before.

Reminder that about 1 in 25 people on death row are estimated to be innocent.

I think companies that use unethically trained AI (read: basically all gen AI) should be subject to massive litigation, or at least severely damaging boycotts.

Have mentioned it to a lawyer at work, and he was like “I get it, but uh… fat chance, lol”. Would not dare mention it to the AI-hungry folks in leadership.

I choose option 3

Bullshit. I just watched that speech, and there was no chant — it was clearly one person saying “lock him up”, and they didn’t even repeat it. And she was grinning before that applause break, not in response to a random heckle at the end of it. Wtf is this.

Kind of.

There are some who voted ideologically closer. But the fact that she’s somewhere between Sanders and Warren is reassuring.

There’s a great reply to this in the same publication: https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/letters/2024/04/27/quiet-quitters-or-good-workers/

Sir, – I read with interest Olive Keogh’s article (“Quiet quitting: You always had workers who did 9-5 but it’s a creeping malaise, employers say”, April 25th).

The article defines working one’s contract hours as a form of quitting, a contortion of fact that I have struggled to grasp since laying eyes on it.

It is asserted that employees are obliged to put in extra hours, do additional work and recalibrate their work-life balance for the “benefits” of social capital, “wellbeing” and career success.

I have a novel proposal. Pay employees in actual capital for the additional time they are expected to work.

Dispense with the relaxation classes on their lunch breaks and the sweet treats and the tokenistic attitude of management to the labour that drives their business.

Instead, resource staff sufficiently to complete work within business hours, respect the rights of staff to a fulfilling life not defined by their day jobs, and stop using gaslighting terms like “quiet quitting” for fulfilling the terms of their contract of employment.

This may seem radical to those managers who have been around the block, but KPIs (key performance indicators) don’t spend time with my loved ones nor do they put food on the table. – Yours, etc,

Can yall idiots just fact-check for a goddamn second? https://www.windowslatest.com/2023/10/16/no-windows-12-is-a-free-upgrade-and-wont-require-a-subscription/

Edit: Just type "windows 12 subscription" into your search bar. It's fewer words than any of these comments!

Firefox doesn't implement the AudioData API, which is probably necessary for the waveform viewer and cropping tool Discord presents in the soundboard management UI.

Not everything is about Chrome DRM yall.
