walter_wiggles@lemmy.nzto Technology•Meta Follows Elon Musk’s Lead, Moves Staffers to Billionaire-Friendly TexasEnglish311·5 months agoHuh interesting. Move company to a place where you can’t find local workers, use as justification for hiring H1Bs, profit off slave wages.
I’m so jelly, always wanted a speed queen
walter_wiggles@lemmy.nzto Science Memes@mander.xyz•I got into the wrong career lolEnglish481·6 months agoLol having a PhD doesn’t get you a pension. She’ll make more from OF than she’d ever make by staying in academia.
walter_wiggles@lemmy.nzto World News•Post-Christmas blues as UK bosses try to turn back clock on hybrid workingEnglish35·6 months agoTell me you’re laying people off without laying people off.
walter_wiggles@lemmy.nzto Ask Lemmy•Those who live outside of the US, what's something Americans aren't ready to hear?1262·6 months agoNeeding two jobs to survive isn’t a good thing.
walter_wiggles@lemmy.nzto Technology•I’m Lovin’ It: Exploiting McDonald’s India APIs to hijack deliveries and order food for a pennyEnglish4·6 months agoLol no no. How about donate to open source initiatives?
walter_wiggles@lemmy.nzto Technology•I’m Lovin’ It: Exploiting McDonald’s India APIs to hijack deliveries and order food for a pennyEnglish301·6 months agoYeah I’d be insulted. I think a good compromise would be to demand a higher amount, but to be donated to a charity.
walter_wiggles@lemmy.nzto Fuck Cars•Novel 2-chain bike aims at rock-solid ride and rugged redundancyEnglish42·6 months agoI don’t mean to brag, but I read the article. All the comments talking about chain breaking are missing the actual point. The original bike was a fixed gear. Having two chains allows this model to have 2 gears to aid with hills or carrying cargo.
Why 2 chains you ask? Imagine you wanted to have a two gear bike with as few moving parts as possible. Chain repair is also relatively easy with a simple tool.
walter_wiggles@lemmy.nzto Ask Lemmy•What jobs can you get if you dropped out of a PhD in math with an MS?41·6 months agoReal talk, programming is your best bet. Companies don’t hire “smart” people anymore in the hopes they can teach them to do the job, so the math background doesn’t really put you ahead of someone with specific training.
If you hate programming though, I would pop back into undergrad and get a second bachelors in Accounting (you should be able to skip all the gen ed reqs). You could prob do it in 3-4 semesters.
walter_wiggles@lemmy.nzto Technology•Watching the Generative AI Hype Bubble DeflateEnglish123·6 months agoBig tech is out of ideas and needs AI to work in order to drive growth.
walter_wiggles@lemmy.nzto Wikipedia•Lifestyle Creep (anyone know how to avoid this?)English4·6 months agoImagine you can’t take it all with you. Like you have to do some serious Mari Kando.
walter_wiggles@lemmy.nzto Wikipedia•Lifestyle Creep (anyone know how to avoid this?)English4·6 months agoImagine you have to move to a new town and you only have 1 POD for your stuff. What do you take? Also important, what are the first things you buy when you get to your new place?
Another experiment, suppose you have enough money to house and feed yourself. What are the things you find yourself wanting/needing to buy?
Some of what’s on your list and everything not on it is a luxury.
walter_wiggles@lemmy.nzto A Boring Dystopia•This was in upliftingnews but imo, they've been overcharging for years and now they're framing this as a feel good story31·6 months agoIt’s how much they were overcharging that makes me sick.
walter_wiggles@lemmy.nzto A Boring Dystopia•This was in upliftingnews but imo, they've been overcharging for years and now they're framing this as a feel good story55·6 months agoI can’t help but assume they’re still making a profit, however small. Which makes me sick.
Passengers will not allow disruptions anymore either. The assumption now is that everyone will die if you don’t do something.
There’s a “That’s what she said” joke in here somewhere.
