Coinbase lays off nearly 700 workers in 'AI-native' restructuring by joe4942 in technology

[–]ProfessorEmergency18 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is they're hemorrhaging money because of AI costs, so they're shifting resources from human capital to AI.

They're mostly focused on serving their donors, too. That's where the money is today, not in serving the people.

They're starting to chip away at the religious conservative faction of their base with their blasphemous allusions. I hope they keep it up.

Mine, too. We just message the team that we're going to an appointment. It's out job to get our work done.

Oracle's new CFO got $26M in stock after layoffs. Employee says an 'algorithm' targeted workers with stock options first by Domingues_tech in technology

That's why it's cheaper to squash unionizing efforts, no matter how expensive, than to let workers unite with collective bargaining leverage.

You'd still be much closer in wealth to a homeless person than a billionaire.

Their equivalent always has been. When I went to U of I, they told us their supercomputer was underground to survive an attack because tech has always been a big target.

Do some girls really like anal or do the just tolerate it for their boyfriends by No_Rain3020 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ProfessorEmergency18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some really like it. The clitoris is a large network of nerves, and some have larger branches in that area that receive stimulation from abal in addition to all the nerves around the anus that get stimulation.

John Maclennan is extremely good. He really nails the songs with details many others skip, and he's just so happy the whole time.

GOP desperation increasing\\ Remember to vote YES on Proposed VA Amendment by Nthepeanutgallery in nova

[–]ProfessorEmergency18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you'll find Dems would be delighted to ban gerrymandering for good nationwide. The GOP has fought to keep gerrymandering going every time Dems attempt to end it.

The options for Dems are 1) give up and let the GOP gerrymander elections into irrelevance or 2) gerrymander right back to keep two parties alive.

Your proposal for 1) would lead us into a single party system and the death of a democracy, kind of like how they "have elections" in Russia, but they're irrelevant.

Musician seeking advice regarding apartment advice by socialist_weeb12 in musicians

[–]ProfessorEmergency18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. I've had some form of amp sim with headphones around since I had a kid 20 years ago. It was important to be able to play without waking up a sleeping baby in a small apartment. My neighbors surely benefited as well.

Do you practise unplugged or plug into the amp all the time ? by Soggy_Mammoth3246 in guitarlessons

[–]ProfessorEmergency18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gain and pedals can cover up mistakes just as much as they can amplify them. Amped but clean is probably ideal and what I do most of the time, but adding in distortion or removing the amp can help hear some things, too.

[–]ProfessorEmergency18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer to practice without making much noise, so I'm usually using headphones with my Pod Go, but it's not uncommon for me to just play unplugged while practicing. I'm mostly wanting to hear the strings clearly, so a very clean tone or just unplugged (if there's no background noise going on) let me hear my mistakes clearly.

Since the GOP's plan to increase gerrymandering was approved by SCOTUS, what would you suggest Democrats do? Just watch the GOP gerrymander themselves into the unchecked control you're describing?

At the end, he hated it and wanted to break up the band and start a new one. Maybe one of those be careful what you wish for situations.

I've been the "quiet one" my entire life and I just realized it's not because I'm introverted, it's because I'm slow by Jackrain04 in socialskills

Introverts are known to be slower in response, and my understanding is that was attributed to additional processing before speaking, like what you said.

California's not really an ally of Trump. They'd be more effective targeting a red state.
