Re:Workers quit jobs in droves to become their own bosses on Monday November 29, 2021 @09:12PM (#29388001)
In my experience corporations and employment are for "socialising profits". As skilled developer I can make good money on my own. In employment I have to sponsor admin stuff, less productive coworkers, shareholders...

Corporations are basically form of social welfare for most people. In past there were less unproductive people attached.

I don't buy risk being shifted. Housing or gold is very conservative investment, and it had good returns.

I read something like that. There was link to Wikipedia article, list of active sportsmen who died in last 150 years, about 50 people. And list of 100+ professional sportsmen who died in last 2 years with sources. Mostly from heart related stuff.
Amazon, large supermarkets and public transport do not spread covid. Only small mum and pop stores. Logic.
Battery recycling in china: guy on backyard strips most valuable parts with hammer and throws 90% of battery into dumpster.

It is very lucrative indeed.

There was a study that proved helmets were harmfull. It basically said that cycling has health benefits, and if helmets were compulsory less people will cycle. And more people would die from obesity and relevant healtu issues, than were saved by helmets.

Re:Leaving Debian on Tuesday November 02, 2021 @10:35AM (#29081893)
If you ever read "The Cathedral and the Bazaar"... Debian feels very far from this original vision, endless drama and politics. Similar to Gnome and Mozilla.

I am very happy with OpenSuse.

PhD in information science or mathematics can be good investment. But it is bad idea to star career in academia.
This is just not true. Working fields is back breaking labour. Old feudalism was similar to slavery.
We just survived the worst crisis of century. Perhaps it makes sense to put this plan on hold for couple of years. Or find something a bit more cost effective.
Re:Is college worth it? A return-on-investment analysis on Tuesday October 26, 2021 @12:07PM (#29002160)
Did not just some colleges kicked out non vaccinated students? Even from remote classes, with no option to finish their studies.

Seems like risky investment if they can change rules in middle of studies.

Some pictures show there is perfectly working cycling path next to road. As someone who walks and uses bus, I have little sympathy for such stunts. Just another privileged group stealing public roads. Next time it will be politician and his convoy.
Fair enough, my info is couple of years old.
Charging has been disabled even on non-totaled vehicles and 3td party chargers. Tesla has a right to kick out some cars from their charging network, but this is not the case.

Did you actually try to order spare parts from Tesla? It is just marketing BS.

Good luck with that. Tesla does not even provide spare parts. If you fix your vehicle, they may disable charging remotely at their own will!
Those countries are not really tax heavens anymore. Especially Ireland changed a lot!

M1 has very fast memory and BUS access. It takes money and is not so sexy for marketing, but it works.

18th century England had strict anti monopoly laws. For example canal owners could not operate their own boats. This type of centralization and monopoly acceptance came with railroads.
