It’s so blatant too, for anyone with half a brain. We’re part of 5 Eyes, there’s like 97 data centres being built or already in the late stages of approval here, and all of our internet traffic is controlled by 3 mega ISPs in moustache and glasses. We’re already being tracked pretty thoroughly. Conservatives or Liberals, it doesn’t matter when it comes to selling Canadians off to foreign corporate entities.

Sorry, I was unclear. I meant the layoffs were related to replacing pandemic hires working from home with cheaper H1Bs willing to RTO/take cheaper salaries, since by then everyone was boostered up and ready for travel, and visa applicationswere actually being processed instead of “backlogged” (ignored) by Trump Admin 1.0.

Wasn’t this more related to the Trump era H1B limitations expiring under Biden around 2022? I may be misremembering the timeline since time after 2020 is fucked, but I swear I remember a greater uptick of H1B hires in tech around this time, as well as outsourcing teams to India.

How is this better???

Thanks!

Guess I’m gonna keep on my plan of keeping an eye on the used market and hoping for honest gamers who don’t mark up their 2nd hand GPUs

This is really helpful for my CS/mathamatics courses actually, but if you think my English prof is gonna be able to parse a git repository… :/

It’s on Meta’s chatboard, not anywhere public. I saw people on Blind discussing it, if you have access there.

Idk how people think China is communist when they have for-profit hospitals, that’s like one of the biggest no-nos in communism lol.

Even the public hospitals are incentivized towards profit optimizing through over-prescription of medication (or useless stuff like homeopathy) in my experience. But last time I went through Chinese healthcare was all the way back in 2017, so things may have improved now (but I doubt it.)

Isn’t Nvidia only bumping up the price of the 5090s? Or is there an update to that?

If anyone has any suggestions for an alternative to Google Docs for my university essays that can track my writing literally word for word, I would be forever grateful. Getting really tired of having professors flag me for AI use just because I can string sentences together with an em-dash, and also getting tired of feeding all my essays to Gemini.

They’re also just being an asshole because OP accidentally wrote “conVERsation” instead of “conSERvation”, and that obviously invalidates the whole argument, duh.

Praying for our cars to survive at least another 15 years, bud 🙏

Naaaaah, my 2016 RAV4 Hybrid is balling. Back up camera, 360 sensors, remote start, heated seats, medium screen with buttons and knobs instead of touch, push start, stick shift, and the best part: no wifi on-board (through my phone only). Cars peaked right here.

The image isn’t even used in the article, 100% it’s a ragebait tactic for clicks.

Neither, because that would actually require praxis.

I’ll engage in good faith: why not?

I’m commenting on this because I want to read/discuss it later. I can’t seem to save this post

Edit: Ok now that the Xmas hoopla is over and I have free time, I read this. What even was the point lol

I think “the price” is some sort of loss of prestige from it’s feeder schools and cultural capital after offering pro bono work to Trump. I know they lost a bunch of their top associates (really good ones too, apparently) but I heard from a friend who goes to Princeton that a lot of the law students didn’t even want to article there anymore. I’m assuming it’s the same for other big law schools, especially Harvard Law after Trump basically put a target on their backs.

Cadwalader is like the oldest law firm in NYC, the “Taft” in the name comes from President Taft’s brother Henry Taft. From what I understand from my friend (and her associates), it’s actually crazy that they’re merging with another legal entity.

They won’t, they’re addicted (I say this as a sporadic TT user). Look at how shit FB has gotten, yet people still hang around. Tiktok’s algo is 100x more addictive.

The only positive for TT for me personally was that the bot problem wasn’t as bad on it compared to other social media. I bet that will change pretty quickly.
