I was confused as well, but looking at the comments I started looking at the site and it looks like that it is a running gag that happens on every January 1st and I think it started in 2006.

You can just update the URL with each year.

Edit: looks like starting 2023 it is new-years instead of newyears

Would they? Ridiculous price combined with ridiculous look.

It is dumb. It is to to states how they do it, but most of the times the state judges are selected via election. Which is tough as a voter it is very hard to learn about a judge especially if the judges supposed to be non partisan (believe in our not, but in some states they declare the part they are in).

IMO the governor should select judges and perhaps give option during election to allow people to recall them if they are grossly biased or something (at that point judge would be well known).

As I understand, this judge was appointed by Kemp, then tried to resign (probably due to scandal), Kemp didn’t allowed it, then he lost reelection and offed himself.

Doesn’t look like anyone else voted for him except Kemp.

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/431970-fb-clean-my-feeds-5-02 makes you realize how empty the Facebook actually is.

I use clean my feeds grease monkey script to hide it and only show my friends and groups I subscribed to and it makes it so easy to see how much of things that it shows is just their stuff and how dead the Facebook really is.

People are still think social media is social. They think that when they post something, all their friends will see it.

In reality what each person sees is determined by the feed algorithm. They can use all the things they know about you and present you content that will press your buttons and change your opinion about topics.

The biggest issue though is to have a proper content. This is where generative AI comes in and this is why owners of social media are so much invested in it.

They basically have platform like the old MSM, except all content is specifically tuned to every person.

So the Zuckerberg, Bezos, Altman etc overpaid by paying 1 million?

Everyone is skeptical about this, and in the end they could be right, but we can’t deny that they are really trying.

I really hope that against all odds they somehow succeed.

You can easily make H1B work 80 hours a week, as they know the moment they are fired they’ll have to return to their home country.

Also while other professions might indeed have higher salaries under H1B, Software Engineering salary is way under the average.

Instead of choosing randomly, make companies bid with the salary offers and grant visa to the highest ones. I think that would solve a lot of problems with it.

I think H1B should be reformed. We should still have set limit, but instead of picking people randomly to grant visas, the employers should have a bidding war and only grant visas for the employees that will receive the highest compensation. This will once again promote experts and also ensures they will be paid their true worth.

Also the window to be able to find another job should be extended, to allow them to switch if they get exploited.

We are laughing but that probably was their agreement.

trump wants to not be in prison and wants money. The president title provides first, musk provides the 2nd. musk wants power.

I don’t watch him either, but you can’t deny that he is already very popular and had more viewers than show on TV.

I was ok with crypto and nft because it was up to me to decide if I want to get involved in it or not.

AI does seem to have impact at jobs, at least employers are trying to use it and see if it actually will allow them to hire less staff, I see that for SWE. I don’t think AI will do much there though.

But, but, but they want to sell as much of it as they can before the bubble bursts.

It is extremely sad, but he was 100 and he wouldn’t live forever.

It was probably best time for him to pass away and not see how our Republic will be attacked again.

I still hope we will be able to defend it.

GOG users be like: 👍

That’s even more tame, currently he was banning MAGA people for not agreeing with his stance on H1B.

I have a flashlight that uses 4 C batteries and just purchased a rechargeable ones, could that be an option?

I don’t know if this is global phenomenon or just US, but 25 years ago when I lived in Europe C and D batteries were as popular as AA. But yeah, I don’t see much of C and D in local US stores.
