They get shit on a lot here. Why? What do they do and how is that different from other companies that offer similar services?

What I know of them: they offer DDS brute force/spam protection for websites.

I'm literally not buying a Tesla because he's a douchbag.

When I see a Tesla on the road I assume they are a Musk fan boy. There's no prestige in that brand. There are a lot of us that assume that.

I love that there's just an endless supply of Escalades exiting the freeway.

The CEO recently informed employees that further blurring the line between work and life is the recipe for success and is pushing for staff to put in more overtime, according to an email Shah wrote to his employees, which was obtained by Business Insider last week.

“Working long hours, being responsive, blending work and life, is not anything to shy away from,” he wrote in the email. “There is not a lot of history of laziness being rewarded with success. Hard work is an essential ingredient in any recipe for success.”

Shah informed staff that this is a change that will be pushed for in the “weeks and months to come,” citing that the most successful people he knows follow this work culture.

“Everyone deserves to have a great personal life – everyone manages that in their own way – ambitious people find ways to blend and balance the two. I think that is what we all should do,” he wrote.

He is also encouraging staff to be “aggressive, pragmatic, frugal, agile, customer oriented, and smart” and to be more careful with spending company money going forward.

“I would also encourage you to think of any company money you spend as your own. Would you spend money on that, would you spend that much money for that thing, does that price seem reasonable, and lastly – have you negotiated the price? Everything is negotiable and so if you haven't then you should start there,” he wrote.

In their defense, they stare at a screen all day looking for contraband. The human brain can only do a task like that well for maybe 15 minutes before zoning out.

I know people who worked in manufacturing. There was a quality control position where a worker had to look at glass going by them on a assembly line looking for defects. They studied how long a person could reliability do that before they started missing defects. It was only about 10 minutes.

I think if that story every time I go to the airport, or when the TSA get trashed for missing half of the weapons they're supposed to be searching for.

AI should be used to assist roles like that.

The writers of constitution of the United States were advocates of the "Rule of Law".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_law

For those not in the know, it's a legal philosophy saying that the laws should apply equality to everyone. The constitution writers disliked that the King was above the law. They wanted no one to be above the law.

Now we get to see if the Supreme Court still believes in the rule of law.

You'd still owe that debt. Unless you go to prison for live than the debt's statute length. Generally 7 years.

Also some jurisdictions make you pay for the privilege of going to prison.

Ymmv, choose your state of jurisdiction very carefully.

Also crypto is a bubble IMO.

You're in a Walmart.

They claim to be cheaper so they can have that drabby distopian look.

In the good parts of town, they look nicer. In the poor parts of town they're legit worse than that.

Fwiw, I'll pay the extra dollar per shopping cart for the superior look of a target. Target is generally cleaner and crisper looking. As always there are exceptions to that rule.

Do you all think it'll come before or after he explains his Obamacare alternative?

An online petition demanding that the sculptors cease and desist

Can we get a petition going for the sculptors to continue?

My search results keep wanting me to go to Reddit. I'm trying to avoid it, but it keeps calling.

I'm not scrolling there like I did before the "Spez killed the 3rd party app migration". I miss the level of engagement and ease of finding communities. Lemmy is decent, but the post volume is lacking. If I scroll new now, and again 12 hours later, there's not much new stuff before I see the stuff from last time.

Most boomers spent the 60s beating the shit out of Civil Rights protestors and spitting on children because their schools were desegregated.

I think that's just a Southern thing. Living in the North, my grandparents never discussed beating the shit out of civil rights protesters. Nor did they spout overtly racist things.

They were prejudice, but it was more of a I've never seen anyone with that color skin and it's different so I'm uncomfortable.

I'll summarize it for other people to save them a click:

A few CEOs of companies you've never heard of agree with some other guy you've never heard of.

They're putting themselves into an awkward position to have to accept that a fetus is a person and thus eligible to receive tax deductions, use the car pool lane, etc.
