When Netflix acquiesced and wired the money, Rinsch sent most of it directly to his personal Charles Schwab account, and made big bets on biotech firm Gilead Sciences, and on shorting the S&P 500 index. In just a few weeks he’d lost $5.9 million. Cutting his losses, Rinsch pulled $4 million from his Schwab account and put it directly into Dogecoin. Wow, such invest.

Hahaha they gave $millions to a guy from r/wallstreetbets

Sounds like they're killing a bunch of innocent civilians like Nazis did.

The documents show provincial agency Ontario Health contracted Don Mills Surgical Unit Ltd. at the following per-surgery funding rates in each of the three fiscal years starting from 2020-21:

• $1,264 for each procedure classed as minor complexity (such as cataract surgery)

• $4,037 for each moderate complexity surgery (such as a laparoscopic gallbladder removal)

• $5,408 for each higher-complexity surgery (such as repairing a large tear of a rotator cuff).

The funding rates do not include how much the surgeon bills OHIP for each operation. The physician's billing for a particular OHIP-covered surgery is identical whether it takes place in a hospital or a private clinic. ---

What exactly is accomplished when corporate culture sits everybody down and has a power point about the strategy, business goals for the next year.

Stuff like saying "our new plan is focusing on areas like key player, resilience and fast resource adaption to better serve customers". Stuff that seems super abstract and boil down to "worker faster or harder" or saying that whats important to the company are "customers, excellent products and people who make products" but said over an hour and mixed in with corporate jargon

It seems like a ton of work goes into these things but its all not usable information. So what is it that these scrum master project managers and higher executives hope to achieve at the end of these calls?

I fell in love with may cease to exist, and in its place, we will have something closer to a souped-up version of TV – focused largely on passive consumption, with much less opportunity for active participation and genuine human connection

Amen

Seriously bugs me to think how there's an aging generation that didn't grow up with all this commercialized internet and they built it on principals like open source and to eliminate things like data scarcity. But now there's a generation that knows nothing but commercialization and seems to support putting everything behind paywalls and hopes to one day commercialize themselves if they're lucky.

But what is really scary is watching guys like Richard Stallman get sick without any replacement.

I would like to start using RSS feeds but every client I've searched up has a subscription method of payment. Are there any RSS clients that don't do this?

I see a lot of companies with fresh faced 25 year olds that are running all kinds of AI stuff. Everything from NPT, Vision, organization tools.

What I don't get is how they're doing this with such small teams. How are these young companies building out AI services?

Gotta be honest. Yes blame us. It takes two to tango.

At one point in my life there was this anti consumer movement culturally that got absolutely destroyed and buried. Maybe we're all just sheep without any free will controlled by Steve jobs of the world. But I feel like we refused to keep certain fires lit and now we're all freezing. That's our fault.

Most of it was super obvious too. When ads started invading, some people were pissed. But there was always way more people saying 'who cares'. But things like ads fuel this consumerism to get people buying and idolizing the tech channels or kardashian lifestyle with all the bling and flash of new. Now we have a generation who probably think anti consumption lifestyle is just flat out crazy talk. Like how do we not have any counter culture anymore to the lavish consumerism culture. Almost every culture has an opposition but that one seems like it's non existant in a world consumed by ads products

I didn't realize until now that unity's CEO was CEO of EA. Making a lot more sense now why unity would make such a bone headed decision

Riccitiello returned to EA to serve as CEO from February 2007 to March 2013,when the board of directors accepted his resignation because of the company's financial performance. Following EA, he worked as an advisor to startup companies and became an early investor in Oculus VR.

Do you know how many grey beards have waited their entire lives to have a girl ask them what Linux is. You've made a lot of irc mods jealous tonight. Stack overflow responses are going to get super spicy for a couple days

Holy shit, ruining your country speed run.

Public education is the great equalizer which is why the people in power and the wealthy love these programs. Education should be uniform or else you erode any meritocracy imagined or real.

YouTube comment sections are weirdly positive always. It could be a video of some horrible crime and the comments will be about how great the channel is and encouraging the channel to keep making more videos. When j visit actual fan pages anywhere else online there are always a mix of opinions. But youtube is constantly full of obsequious people

Workers should unionize. I don't know if its better but I know it's something they hate

Democrats could rinse and repeat this political strategy to multiple white house victories. Create policy that benefits common people while showing republicans as desperate to a holes that want to stop the help at any cost.
