Today the site is all goofy, at least on mobile. No comment count updates, comments are sorted incorrectly...

A lot of the advice is unsolicited. The parents are acting like the kids have something wrong with them because what worked for them isn't working for their kids.

Submit some other material then.

They won't accept it but at least you will feel like one of us

Welcome to slashdot, you must not be new here.

The moderation system was designed to be managed by humans and they aren't doing that. They're too busy clickbaiting us.

"Moral of the story: get on the ownership/investor side ASAP."

Everyone can't do that, and the economy would collapse if they tried and they would lose too

At least 20-25% of them are someone else's homeless by any measure. And I'd say that it's actually considerably more of them, because that's just the (approximate) percentage who came here after becoming homeless. Still more of them came here for work because there was no work in their home state, and then became homeless; I think we should count them, too. California has to pay for other states to function through our taxes, then we have to pay for their former citizens who left those states because those states couldn't meet their needs even with our money. There's no way we can keep up, especially now that Orange Hitler is fucking up our funding — money that the federal government took from our citizens and is legally obligated to return under existing law.

We do our best, of course. Our implementations of SNAP and Medicaid (CalFresh and Medi-Cal) are substantially easier to get and keep than in other states, because we basically implement the minimum eligibility requirements. This helps bring some of the money taken from us under false pretenses by the feds (the DOD can literally never pass an audit) back into California, where it is needed to keep the nation's economic powerhouse functioning, and also helps us feed these unfortunates whose home states were unable and/or unwilling to assist them. We also have been providing medical care to the undocumented*, although there's been rumors that we will dial that back significantly due to lack of funding. There can't possibly be any consequences to that, right?

* This has come from state funding, undocumented persons are not collecting Medicaid. A household with undocumented persons can receive SNAP, but they are excluded from the household so the maximum benefit is decreased, the idea being to feed children. Undocumented mothers can also receive WIC, for the same reason.

True, but AGW isn't only making every place and situation hotter, sometimes it's making them colder. What good is your data center when you cannot get power because the lines are down? Or when the big square building with the big flat roof gets buried under a metric fuckton of snow and the roof collapses?

A holding time of a year prohibits people pulling their stocks out when a company is fucking up, that doesn't make sense. I'm not totally against the idea, just with a shorter period.

I like your idea about not allowing buying stocks with loans, although it would be super hard to enforce.

That's a typically false, typically anon coward take.

You mean you got held accountable for your bullshit? waaaaah

We think they copy because they took it to an art form. They copy down to the flaws. You can buy unlicensed exact replicas of engines, machine tools, you name it.

Did they learn nothing in the process, no. But I've worked for companies that have had their designs copied and were not able to get any remedy whatsoever because it was protected by their government. There is absolutely no question about who is responsible, or whether their government enables the behavior. And it is ongoing, not only historical.

Linux historically had battery life problems because power saving was not good, but modern kernels have got good support for modern systems' equipment in most cases. Now you're mostly ok with drivers in general (as in, not just for power saving) unless you have an Nvidia card.

The laptop was designed for Windows and comes with Windows. That won't be a thing.

Yes exactly. PGE is a conspiracy to kill for profit and the CPUC is a rubber stamping operation. This is on brand with California's proceeding enshittification. Newsom et al want to run our government like a business. No surprise given the Getty-derived wealth and power of that schmuck.

Ok bot.

I just did that.

Done with you now.

According to the article, the hit rate of drones isn't all that amazing, either.

Artillery pretty much works by saturating the area with explosions until some of them hit something. So a low hit rate is expected. Maybe a decade after the war ends we'll get some actual numbers to compare to other theaters.
