I watch dogs (primarily overnight--most for 3-7 days but some 1 day and some >7d) via Rover. I make around $1500/month (pre-1099) and after their ~20% cut (of which most people give back to me in tips).

I WFH so the largely passive income is nice. I wouldn't have found as many people w/o a platform to do the heavy lifting for me in finding new dogs.

I am not advocating that we need to have these sorts of things in the market, but it does make for nice extra cash. YMMV.

Nope. We just stick children in cracks in the dam, thatâ(TM)s how I lost 2 siblings. No need to make them intelligent. Itâ(TM)s The Netherlands for crying out loud.

If you think Facebook cares I have a bridge to sell you. Facebook choose engagement over genocide, donâ(TM)t expect them to give a iota over scammers.

As for those crypto guys you mention: if you want to be the banker of the underworld, be prepared to have to deal with your clients

Thin chance. I see LLMs used to generate convincing results, and they are pretty good at that. Who cares about whether is true or not, as long as you passed the exam / got the job / got the contract?

You already have a nut job that got hold of the nuke codes.

Making this a generational war isn't going to help. It deflects from the real culprits: The financial industry and the colleges themselves. The incentive for the finance biz was obvious. It's another payment stream, and they got the cherry on top of it not being discharged in bankruptcy. The incentive for colleges is that when education is financed, it now makes it possible for them to raise tuition and other expenses. When you pay out of pocket, you're cost conscious. When something is financed, you're tempted to price it according to whatever payment you think you can afford in the future. Even if you don't, other people do and that will allow prices to rise. You're a price-taker in the market. You have no choice, except to turn away or maybe go with something cheaper and perhaps less prestigious; but that's going up too because everything is financed.

So it's not inter-generational conflict. That's deflection, and before some young socialist yells "class war!" that's not it either. Everybody is greedy. Socialism is just an alternative marketing plan developed by another bunch of suits, with an aim of going straight for power and relying less on money to get there.

So what's the answer? Rooting out corruption and greed, without regard for the cynical fronts of "generational war" or "class war", or whatever "war" is being pitched to accrue power to yet another bad actor.

It is worse than that. Russia has been operating a flock of websites that exist for the sole purpose of shoving their propaganda down the AI crawlers pie holes. https://www.forbes.com/sites/t...

I used to screen scrape jail registry records for county jails in my home area. Though the IDs weren't exactly sequential, doing groups of 50 would get hits for two of the local counties.

What I found was that, while the website UI wouldn't show juvenile records, you could access them directly w/the ID. Surfacing it to the county took a day or so to find the right person but they quickly closed that hole, but who knows how many records were handed out to malicious actors over the years before I found it.

I haven’t ran a personal webserver for at least 20 years, but when I did I had exactly that. An infinite amount of generated web content with mail addresses that would add you to a spam blacklist, that was -only- mentioned as ‘do not crawl’ in the robots.txt.

People are grasping at how O2 could be liberated from molecules, and photosynthesis is the only known way. What if the O2 were not liberated? What if it were always there but the other molecules were reduced?. This line of thinking got me to aerotolerant anaerobes as a possible mechanism for creating such deposits.

The list of requirements is: 1. A bunch of these guys trapped down there with your typical N2+O2+trace gas atmosphere typical of Earth, or perhaps some other O2 rich atmosphere that existed earlier in Earth's history. 2. They thrive down there, and all their competition dies off. 3. They're not just a little aerotolerant, but *very* aerotolerant, evolving to the point where they could survive until they run out of the other elements they need and of course 4. None of the other things down there react strongly with O2, and sedimentary rock layers trap that environment until now, when they crack and release the gas.

It's a lot of coincidences and takes time, but not more than the coincidence and time for life to evolve in the first place.

The four pineapples of the apocalypse?

Or the four at the corners of the earth?

There is no universally accepted definition for SUV, particularly across country boundaries. The only real differentiator seems to be available 4-wheel drive. Assuming the Ioniq 5 is the AWD versions and not the RWD ones, I guess it fits the most basic definition.

In my experience, PIPs are NEVER intended to be a tool to help you; they're intended to help the company find reasons to fire you.

Use the 90 days to find a new job; not try and pass the arbitrary/impossible to meet requirements.

Plus, once you've been put on a PIP, do you really want to continue working for a company that was literally trying to create documentation to fire you?

No; you don't.

My ex-wife stole ~$300K from me preparing for a divorce. It was up to me, the person who made the money, not the person who pfilered it, to prove she did so and it would have cost at least 1/3 of the money and the likelihood I could prove to the court it had been done, even though it was blatantly obvious what she did to be near 0.

The legal system is absolutely fucked and it needs to be changed.
