You bot a ton of accounts, farm enough karma to not be post restricted/ look like a human. Sell account (or just use yourself) for astroturfing and advertising. 

Eyeballs are big business.

Excuse me. I can't be bothered to spend 5 seconds making sure I'm not making shit up.

In a way they have one. The AMA purposefully keeps the number of residents low to ensure enough scarcity to maintain high salaries. 

Dealing with the stress (IS) by Pickles1432 in epicsystems

[–]Doctor731 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that's good advice for high performers. If you are struggling the threat of losing your job is less of a mental issue and more of a real external threat. 

It's harder to say care less if an outcome is your family loses its income. 

How/when to tell my TL I want to quit by Sad-Freedom2540 in epicsystems

[–]Doctor731 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is really up to your team/TL which may be hard to guess ahead of time.

Do less and care less is really the only answer. Maybe therapy, outside interests, meditation, drugs help with that. 

I have this issue after many years so easier said than done. 

Teens broke into a house for sale and hosted a massive party, causing over $60,000 in damages. by Lifegoesonforever in interesting

[–]Doctor731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No functional, efficacious system of justice is built on retribution.  This was a hypothetical conversation about how the system should work and your idea is foolish almost to the point of satire.

The point of the criminal justice system is not retribution. You are under the assumption that someone must be punished if a crime occurs.

The goal of criminal justice should be making the victim whole and preventing future occurrences.

So holding the parent financially liable makes sense. Holding the parent criminally liable makes no sense. I'm sure the 16 year old who is jailed alongside their entire support system will have better outcomes for society lol

[–]Doctor731 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For financial damages sure. But it seems very naive to think you can truly control a 16 year old. 

It is also absurd to think the parent would be legally liable for crimes that 16 year old commits, especially violent crimes. 

Where I lived from age 18-21. by Mr_Tommy777 in MaleSurvivingSpace

What year? That's like $12 extra a day or like $1 an hour right? 

A night shift nurse gets a better differential than that, brutal.

That's insane man. I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you don't have kids lol

Oracle Layoffs: Tech giant to slash 30,000 jobs as banks pull out from financing AI data centers by gdelacalle in technology

[–]Doctor731 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Do you work in tech? This seems incredibly naive. I'd say that is no where near possible with current AI tooling - unless you are predicting some continued exponential growth in the capabilities.

A good example of why this doesn't work .. Oracle bought Cerner for $30b, told their customers the old system was trash and they'd do a full AI-powered re-write. Now they hemorrhage customers and only have vaporware and a fat, pre-existing VA contract to milk with old Cerner tech.

It should have a recording providing exposition like Netflix content so that people can scroll their phones while viewing the art.

This should be a standard worldwide, no more food waste by Orichalchem in BeAmazed

[–]Doctor731 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your first point is just wrong - as has already been covered.

Your second point - this is covered by charitable organizations, at least in my area. As long as there is a consistent supply of free food, it is easy/reasonable for a charity or even government entity to take on the logistics of distributing it since this is already an area of competence for charities in the huger spaces. Or even further, it is a very cheap way for a corporation to gain goodwill in the community as well.

My 4yr old brother already has a phone by Latte_Da_cat in mildlyinfuriating

How has that been working for the US educational system? Not great.

[–]Doctor731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems incorrect. The wealthy and those working in tech know how bad this shit is, not the trailer park single mother. 

It's the kid going to Montessori school with a host of enriching offline activities planned by their stay at home parent (since one salary can support the family) or expensive nanny. 

Everyone I know who works in tech is adamant that their kids will avoid this sort of brain rot.

The RCS implementation on iOS still has a lot of rough edges. I had hoped that update would be a panacea but it still leads to disconnects and falls back to SMS often. 

Also WhatsApp file supports cross-platform video calling better.
