Would they? Ridiculous price combined with ridiculous look.

It is dumb. It is to to states how they do it, but most of the times the state judges are selected via election. Which is tough as a voter it is very hard to learn about a judge especially if the judges supposed to be non partisan (believe in our not, but in some states they declare the part they are in).

IMO the governor should select judges and perhaps give option during election to allow people to recall them if they are grossly biased or something (at that point judge would be well known).

As I understand, this judge was appointed by Kemp, then tried to resign (probably due to scandal), Kemp didn't allowed it, then he lost reelection and offed himself.

Doesn't look like anyone else voted for him except Kemp.

I use clean my feeds grease monkey script to hide it and only show my friends and groups I subscribed to and it makes it so easy to see how much of things that it shows is just their stuff and how dead the Facebook really is.

People are still think social media is social. They think that when they post something, all their friends will see it.

In reality what each person sees is determined by the feed algorithm. They can use all the things they know about you and present you content that will press your buttons and change your opinion about topics.

The biggest issue though is to have a proper content. This is where generative AI comes in and this is why owners of social media are so much invested in it.

They basically have platform like the old MSM, except all content is specifically tuned to every person.

So the Zuckerberg, Bezos, Altman etc overpaid by paying 1 million?

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 19 points 1 day ago

Everyone is skeptical about this, and in the end they could be right, but we can't deny that they are really trying.

I really hope that against all odds they somehow succeed.

You can easily make H1B work 80 hours a week, as they know the moment they are fired they'll have to return to their home country.

Also while other professions might indeed have higher salaries under H1B, Software Engineering salary is way under the average.

Instead of choosing randomly, make companies bid with the salary offers and grant visa to the highest ones. I think that would solve a lot of problems with it.

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

I think H1B should be reformed. We should still have set limit, but instead of picking people randomly to grant visas, the employers should have a bidding war and only grant visas for the employees that will receive the highest compensation. This will once again promote experts and also ensures they will be paid their true worth.

Also the window to be able to find another job should be extended, to allow them to switch if they get exploited.

We are laughing but that probably was their agreement.

trump wants to not be in prison and wants money. The president title provides first, musk provides the 2nd. musk wants power.
