1. FBI makes political opponent sign a contract to never ever eat cereals anymore.
2. FBI uses chip to erase political opponent’s memory of signing the contract.
3. Next morning, political opponent chomp chomps.
4. Afternoon, straight to jail!

Terrifying.

An average full time office worker in France would get 7 weeks, more at big companies that want to attract talents with better benefits. I had a job with 11 weeks. I used them all.

I guess ISIS recruited by boasting better work-life balance than in the USA.

Both ideally, considering the high complexity of nuclear, we can’t solely bet on it.

The good solution is rather to invest in diversity of sources. For the oil side, the solution is to invest in renewables and electrification as to not depend on oligarchs anymore, just like China is massively doing by the way.

Isn’t it obvious that people working at a for profit company would earn much more?
We are not in the 2000’ anymore, there are people with 30 years of experience in tech in many other places. Furthermore, internet nonprofit could champion remote working.

Interestingly, it was worse the year before.

If you choose to build one, I think people at !Buildapc@lemmy.world will be willing to help.
This is a good reference for comparing parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/
Plus, building the PC with your son could be a very exciting teaching experience for him.

Checking the Electronic Frontier Foundation Inc, my cool t-shirts provider. https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/43091431

Revenue $17,954,838
92.7% from contributions
7.4% goes to Executive Compensation with the top earner being for Cindy Cohn (Executive Director) $336k, 58% to other salaries.

7% doesn’t seem too bad, but I still wonder if an international free web defending non-profits requires being in SF, one of the most expensive cities in the world. It could probably move to a normal city and cut compensations cost by 2 or 3.

Similar situation for the Wikimedia Foundation Org https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/200049703.

There’s also notable vitality in FOSS big data tools from China (Apache Doris, Kylin, Kyuubi etc.) that reminds of Hadoop in the USA 15 years ago while the USA data engineering now mostly turned to closed source cloud solutions.

The point of the “moment of aggression” is that there is no way any democratically legitimated power can protect you immediately in the moment of a physical aggression. Unlike an unfair insurance system where you should be able to get legal protection and sue to claim your rights. If the system doesn’t protect one’s rights enough, then one should work on improving it through getting involved in the democratic process. Are they voting? Are they demonstrating? Have they done everything they could to support the politicians that defend their values, or risked themselves to carry the burden of becoming one? Killing people is just going to illegitimate your opinion, and also probably negatively impact the other people who share it too.

Any intervention on society, with a goal to impact it, is political, I don’t know what surprises you there.

You’re right, I should have said “some people” instead.

Same response as the one you already received by someone else for the same question, so I didn’t add to it. https://jlai.lu/post/14533062/12060318

In my country, physical self-defense is relevant to the moment of the aggression and is required to be proportional (which is complicated, I concede). If you later go look for the aggressor to exercise your right to “self-defense”, that’s vengeance and personal justice, not self-defense anymore. This is usually forbidden in democratic countries because it could have a lot of negative effects of society.
Overall, unless the laws and logic are very different in the USA, I don’t think this could be considered self-defense. This is also not going to stop the abuse by insurance companies since thousands of people can replace this guy, so it’s more about sending a message, isn’t it. What do we usually call the method of killing people to send a political message?

Needs clarification.
Maybe they just don’t want people to promote murder as a form of political action, although the log is not clear.
That would be a pretty common position, probably aligned with the rules of most communities on Lemmy and can be completely unrelated to protecting corporations, the system or whatever other people are jumping to.

Oh blimey

Should I double my muscles and bones? Stem cell injections?

That would be a relief.

I will try to remember.
