Some medium number of H1B's?

No, the jobs are not going to the citizens of the county where the citizens are subsidizing for all this for their own enslavement.

Who would ever believe such a thing after the Covid lies?

Comment War on Energy (Score 1) 143

Their War on Energy has to be about depopulation at this point. They've destroyed 20% of world oil, sulfur, helium, fertilizer, natgas, and now they're going after the building blocks of home solar installs that could help people cope.

At the same time the RFP for Draft Management Software closed today.

Even Alex Jones is calling for impeachment. They've gone totally off the deep end.

Power Inverter means:
A bi-directional power device or system that converts direct current electricity to alternating current electricity, or converts alternating current electricity to direct current electricity, to include microinverters, string inverters, central inverters, and hybrid (battery-based) inverters; and Contains components that enable remote communication, control, sensing, data-collection, or monitoring through Wi-Fi, cellular, Bluetooth, or other similar connections.

Everything useful has Bluetooth in it now. That's how you hook it up to Home Assistant. Somebody should tell the FCC that Bluetooth doesn't reach to China.

City Council member of a non-listed Twin Cities suburb I know:

FBI is involved. Most water systems use one of two control/alert systems that are old and make them easy targets.

All they did was shut down components of the systems e.g., wells/sewer lift stations. Most cities were able to cycle manually to get back up and running. There was not messages warning or ransom of which I am aware.

They could have done a lot more damage if they wanted to, rather than just shutting things down.

Notice how the "free press" keeps talking about this as a "law enforcement problem" but hasn't once talked about any time somebody was threatened by a mugger to unlock and this safety feature saved their bacon?

Most common criminals will run when there is nothing further to be gained.

Big organized crime gangs, such as people at the border threatening travelers under color of law, are the exception rather than the rule. They got embarrassed that their dominance play didn't work, so now they're lashing out and they have thousands of people and billions of dollars at their disposal. "How DARE you not bow before me!?!?"

Convenience of fake cops doesn't override the rights and safety of citizens. Exact same issue as Flock.

I'm quite ignorant about codeberg except for looking through the code of a project or two.

I was curious because I hear people speaking about it in cult-like terms. I thought that just meant they liked it a lot but according to this article there's a herd mentality about excommunicating apostates.

Yikes.

Reminds me of when I was really interested in the Bluesky protocol before it got swarmed with ideology.

It never used to be like this. We used to make fun of Apple for their "no nuclear end use" license in the 80's. I also saw my first Mac IIfx at a tokamak fusion lab, so that's how effective that was. But Apple couldn't just press a ban button back then which has been a problem with SaaS for a long time now.

Lots of big protects are banning lots of decent people. We shouldn't do this.

> Everything about nuclear energy is expensive.

Only if the cost of oil wars are presumed to be zero and light water reactors are the only data point.

Solar probably still has the advantage for electrical usage in suitable climates.

Also, the Globalists seem to be destroying the hydrocarbon system across the planet right now. Some day the CoVID depopulation plan failed. A billion might die in Africa from lack of fuel and fertilizer in the coming years.

Comment Expel (Score 1) 132

When I was at Dartmouth we had a very strict Honor Code. Students were required to report cheating too, or face complicity charges.

Cheating like this would lead to expulsion except in rare circumstances. Not saying if Daddy buying a building would qualify.

Those kids are taking up seats of kids who want an education but didn't get in. The filter is thirsty.

At a minimum the cheaters devalue the market demand for an institution's degree. If these kids get a diploma we shouldn't hire from that school.

It's worth noting that Princeton just abolished its Honor Code due to rampant cheating of this type. After 130 years. This isn't the Second Industrial Revolution, it's much worse.

Also, that professor is a legend for pointing out the Emperor's lack of clothing.

> You're there for an education. Cheating on it is only leaving you uneducated.

Unfortunately, no.

Now that High Schools are handing diplomas to "graduates" who in some schools have a sub-ten percent literacy rate, the Bachelor's Degree is the new minimum certification for employment.

With this AI nonsense expect it to be a Master's Degree soon.

This is a huge part of the reason College is so expensive - demand has spiked considerably because of the failed primary education system.

The NEA is a major cause of the student debt crisis. That'll bake your noodle if the old fashioned view of them caring about the kids is a goal (their lead attorney generously told the truth on that a decade ago).
