Well no, just the largest ones who can pay some fine or have nearly endless legal funds to discourage challenges to their practice, this bring a form of a pretend business moat. The average company won’t be able to and will get shredded.
Thank you for sharing. I feel like this is the first fediverse exploration I’ve had the energy for since coming over in the Reddit exodus.
Can someone explain how this can/would work for a Lemmy user? They talk about federation, would that be just within this bonfire platform where anyone can put a website and social media to connect via their goals and aims and structure or could this connect to Lemmy somehow, or would that require an integration between bonfire and Lemmy? How would instances of bonfire decide whether to connect or federate with Lemmy or vice versa?
“heckuvajob” is the established nomenclature.
While also completely missing the boat on the potential of graphics cards and watching Nvidia and even AMD become massively more relevant in recent years.
And then, to bring us full circle to OP, Microsoft made it’s strategic acquisition of Nokia long after they had squandered enviable market share to Apple and Google 😂 https://www.theverge.com/2016/5/25/11766540/microsoft-nokia-acquisition-costs
Hey, RIM/Blackberry’s CEO went to mobile world Congress in 2010, 3 solid YEARS after the iPhone launched, was dominating and defining the smartphone world and said, “we feel touchscreen is not the future of mobile phones” and rolled out another hybrid touch/keyboard model like the 5 they already had
Blackberry was $150/share as of 2009 with the entire world in front of it. It’s now worth $3.59/share.

Yeah, that at least can be systematically identified and corrected; the bias and also inaccuracy of judgement of current human officers seems far worse and when combined with the fact non-vehicular safety is seen as a low priority or completely ignored, getting to “good” for safety of non-vehicular traffic is life and death. A few tickets that get waived, or in my city, Portland Oregon, a citizen sued to prove the cameras inaccurate where they were and won vs. engineers, is a small price to pay vs. the current state of zero enforcement and bodies littering crosswalks and cyclists mown down in “bike lanes”.
Right; I’m considering requesting cameras in my city to protect crosswalks, pedestrians and cyclists as none of the laws are currently enforced in any meaningful way. One of the most cost-reasonable, effective ways to do that would be to have automatic cameras but the lecherous vendors that want 20-30% of the cut and authoritarian state are two massive concerns I have that make me, at the cost of my own daily safety, hesitant to call this stuff out.
I have been surprised an investing community didn’t exist since joining Lemmy; while there is overlap to some degree, the specific aims of investing maybe too macro or indeed numerous to not overrun economics.
1 vote for you to create a new community, but request it not be on Lemmy.world just for healthy diversification of fediverse content
South Korea mandated internet explorer for all purchase checkout until relatively recently maybe the last 5 years. They had all these pieces built around it so checking out at a website you would have to prove your identity using national ID and then only IE would work.
Be very careful what you ask for.
At the rate we’re going in the US, anti science and antisocial, clubbing one’s next meal or foes and eating the meat raw for lack of other tools is not far off current trajectory.
Moving into an eligible class of employees, e.g. working for the company and being full-time 30 hrs+/week (or whatever their benefit criteria are) is an event that allows for enrollment with insurers outside of the once per year Open Enrollment which is for existing, ongoing, already eligible an/or enrolled employees for the next plan year.
A waiting period for the start of the benefits, as others have mentioned, once being eligible, may apply to all new employees, e.g. first of next month/30/60 days. As someone who was associated with the company through a 3rd party already there may be separate or less criteria allowing you to enroll sooner than a normal new hire, or you may have the same waiting period. It all depends on the plan design which varies by company but has to meet federal minimum standards thanks to the affordable care act/Obamacare.

I just had my first thread that I came across today, after nearly 2 years here, that was collaboratively funny, creative, diverse and made me remember what lots of talent in a thread can do. Not just anti-establishment/political circle jerking, or a few tech categories that get enough visibility to get participation.
It was a /mildlyinteresting thread about giraffes being more likely to be struck by lightning. It immediately made me feel like I was finallly home again after 2 years and looking forward to more and more growth in Lemmy and the fediverse.
I knew upstate got cold but not that cold, damn
The state of things is devastating. Actually getting out is the best option, I know easy for someone else to say. Right wingers love to point yo companies moving to red states for lower taxes and no employee protections, when people start leaving the states is when that narrative will change.
Not sure where you are but Colorado has paid family leave and is generally fighting a good fight and may be closest to you, depending on your red state location. Depending on the type of work you donl or want to do, securing employment in advance of relocating or looking at WFH options may be the best option to allow you to get a job and then move and not have to worry about the job location piece. Coastal places with better protections and rights are expensive as hell and probably less of an option for you but depends.
Hope you can get someplace at least measurably better and safer for you.
