Latest one in 2023, promise I’m not giving advice from the 80s:)

Again, not sure it’s active where you are but there’s also a job list on idealist.org which lists a lot of canvasing or union type jobs but also some regular ones.

We’re trying to trap carbon underground to keep earth habitable and stable for humans. Coal is trapped carbon. We should keep it trapped instead of exposing it to our atmosphere.

For sure, Nazis (or their speech patterns anyway) do seem to be specifically against the policy as well though

In this case it seems quite reasonable for their stance to stem from the censorship of posts about palestine on popular social media platforms. Agreed we shouldn’t settle for any more privately owned social media regardless though.

I wonder if anyone in the upper echelons of Bending Spoon has large investments in google. Probably would be hard for google to purchase and squash vimeo due to monopoly laws, but asking a friend to purchase and squash it l? Perfectly acceptable

Just a lil crooked when he sits

I’ve had 3 full time desk jobs and found 2 of them on craigslist. Not sure where you’re located but perhaps you have something like craigslist? Lots of spam jobs to sift through but unlike job aggregator sites I usually actually got a reply back and felt like my application was going somewhere other than the void.

It’s hard for the top 1% to feel good about themselves on account of their clear status as society’s leaches (except they’re not vital parts of the ecosystem like real leeches are).

In order to get around these Hard Feelings they have to step into a fantasy narrative where they aren’t necessarily bad, certainly not harmful, maybe it’s the rest of the world that’s bad come to think of it, maybe they really did earn this, finders keepers right? Who says there is any objective reality to right and wrong? It’s all optics right? Why should the golden rule apply to everyone?!

If I’m reading between the lines correctly the cuts have nothing to do with AI and it’s not clear Amazon said that they did, they cited closing some Fresh and Go stores, discontinuing some products (some biometric hand scanner), cutting back on what they described as overhiring during covid, generally reducing bureaucracy.

The journalist, however, throws in an AI connection seemingly unrelatedly at the end and talks about how amazon is improving their robot technology. Wonder if someone is being paid to try to make things about AI even when they’re not.

How to activate?

Someone from the electrical company who was fixing my heater informed me that it’s pronounced Sass quaa and not Sass quatch. He and his friends went on Sasquatch hunts and he gave me some good hiking recs. I haven’t been able to find his pronunciation elsewhere so I thought someone else might want to carry this important information with them.

All those people who didn’t vote for him to get the nobel prize could have prevented this by simply voting rationally instead of voting their conscious!

I don’t understand that practice, is it a consolation prize for having to fire people? A reward for not getting laid off?

They’re kind of a live mixing engineer, it’s really hard to coordinate a piece between more than about 6 others without a conductor to give feedback, cues, and tend to the overall sound (tone, dynamics, rhythm).

Only a minuscule amount of critical thinking is required to reject the hypothesis that cumulative betting odds on news items are predictive of real outcomes. He mentioned sports betting as a similar case, do sports betters think increased betting odds (say on a specific horse to win) increase the likelihood that that horse wins? I kind of feel like they understand what the numbers represent but I’m not super steeped in gambling culture so I’m genuinely curious.

News outlets framing betting odds as useful stats for predicting events is worrisome though. Readers expect journalists to provide only relevant information so mixing in stuff you’re paid to include breaks the expectation between writer and reader since the expected intention of the article (information on a topic) is different than the actual one (fulfilling an advertising obligation to a gambling company).

Just noticed my orchids are spiking this morning! It’s one of my markers that the days are indeed moving and that spring is inching closer.

I wonder which AI companies he’s invested in

I don’t think it’s necessarily phobic but I personally find it a bit presumptuous for someone you’re not dating yet to express preferences about how they prefer you to groom.

HAVING the preference doesn’t seem like a problem and doesn’t seem linked to transphobia.

In my perfect world you would learn about their preferences when you were trying a new thing (shaving, haircut, outfit, whatever) and they were like “I find this new thing incredibly attractive.”

I was bored so I looked up these apps for receipt scanning and it looks like it’s a combination of couponing and consumer data broker. Most of them require you to activate promos on the app first, go shopping, then get “cash back” for certain promo items when you take a picture of the receipt.

I’m guessing this is on top of the discounts you can get directly from grocery store apps (which are surely already brokering purchase data).

One or two of the apps don’t require activating offers at all so I guess those ones are JUST data brokering.

I love big tech’s products after the startup funding designed to kill competition has been spent. It’s really the sweet spot where the product doesn’t function efficiently anymore AND it costs more than the original product or service it replaced AND any human workers involved are not protected as employees.
