1. I want my coffee hot.
2. There's no discussion of frothing the milk for my cappuccino.

I'll stick to my manual DeLonghi espresso maker.

Except that testimony from someone working there, with direct knowledge of the company's actions, is considered more important than, say, some sleepwalking, anti-woke idiot's comments.

STFU. You have no clue how any of this works, and get your "news" from Faux Noise.

Nobody in this org is getting a "fat paycheck", as opposed to the scum who's paying you to post.

So you're an unsafe coder.

When I was writing a lot of C in the mid-nineties, I switched from strcpy to strncpy, and *guaranteed* that I know the length of the receiving field.

Is thsi story that people do not actually know how big thei receiving field is?

I wasn't aware of some of those details, but you're dead right. There is a zero probability that any for-profit prison would not want to maximize recidivism.

And the government-run ones... Add county jails into this picture. In 2004, the Brevard Co., FL jail was horrid (someone very close to me was in it). Lunch? Green baloney. Anyone could claim that someone should be on suicide watch, and they were *not* isolated, but put in glass-walled cells, zero privacy, *with* bright lights on 24/x, and the a/c cranked up, and one thin blanket. Oh, and no glasses. Their GED program? Only if there would be enough people to take it, and in a jail, it was in for a while and out. Most of the women were in for prostitution, of course, and a high percentage were functionally illiterate. And the cost of phone calls meant some had little outside contact week-to-week.

a) This is a stupid counter.
b) google many people control most of the stocks, and you get: "how Just 10% of American households control the vast majorityâ"roughly 93%â"of all individually held stocks and mutual funds. Within that top tier, a remarkably smaller fraction drives the highest concentration; the top 1% of households owns half of all U.S. corporate equities"

So, I"m right, and you are supporting the ultrawealthy while being poor yourself (otherwise, you wouldn't be posting on slashdot.)

I prefer Bruce Schneir and his co-author's plan. https://www.schneier.com/blog/...

You're an asshole.

Different American, that is, the 90% of us (I suppose I can assume you're a Russian troll), rather than 80 or so people who control it all.

Did the Kool-Aid (tm) taste good? Did yuo have to pay for it?

Let's try "paying the majority of employees starvation wages, such that some of them need food stamps (Walmart has an actual division to halp employees, many of whom they do not want to make full time, and pay benefits, to help them get food stamps). And then they pay *NO* taxes (Mu$k? Tesla?), but you're paying taxes...

Ghu, you're stupid. And you're no millionaire, since you're posting here.

Oh, yeah. How much in the way of assets does the DSA have (I should check, I need to re-up my membership)?

Billionaires, and trillion dollar companies paying *no* taxes, and you're a millionaire with a temporary cash-flow problem.

In other words, you're too stupid to live on your own.

I mean, this can't even vaguely claim to be "ride-sharing". They need to pay for medallions.

Oh, they're loosing *so* much less money this year than last... I find it mind-boggling that anyone in a back office hasn't attacked the CEO who wants to spend money on this, or had them committed.

You want the *proof*? Ok.
There have been NO breakthroughs, stuff that literally came out of nowhere, in the last century and a half. We *know* where every bit of math and engineering came from.

So, no, we have neither seen or contacted them.

Drank the Kool-aid, didn't you?

1. They bring in outside contractors to build the datacenters.
2. Once running, they only employ *maybe* three DOZEN people - not thousands, not hundreds. (And, btw, I have worked/been in the moderate datacenter at the NIH, so yes, I know wtf I'm talking about, and you don't.)
3. In 3-5 years, they'll shut them down, and either rip out all the server racks and replace them, or just call it a day, and call them obsolete.

The locality will NEVER make back the tax breaks.

Well, instead of being bombarded by right-wing propaganda (with a lot of money coming from the US), some of it literally stolen and colorized from 1930's Nazi propaganda, now they've had ten years of dealing with the results, and they're NOT happy.
