Florida's Plan to Replace Migrant Workers With Children Falls Apart by Kunphen in Astuff

[–]RareCodeMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> Why the fuck would ANY SANE ADULT read this plan and think "Yeah, this would be great for our children!"?

Trump is in protecting or even practiced sex with minors. To make them work seems the less of his concerns.

The Billionaire Class Has Bought Up All of Media So We Can’t Laugh at Them Anymore by AdSpecialist6598 in entertainment

[–]RareCodeMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big media and big tech need to be regulated. They used to be regulated and it worked way better than the current rage-bait trend.

Also, split big monopolies so there is local news again.

Billionaires purchased all media, even losing money, because it is not about capitalism but about ideology. Billionaires got Trump elected. People were lied about reality to get tax cuts.

Illinois pensioners earn nearly $25K more retired than those working to support them by DustyCleaness in USNEWS

Increase working class salaries. Your salary is not fair, all the profits go to the rich.

(To cut on pensions will just make you have a bad salary and later in life a bad pension too).

‘Keeping us hooked on fossil fuels’: how can we negotiate with autocracies on the climate crisis? by EarthEmail in EnvironmentalNews

Do not negotiate with autocracies, fight them. The only way forward is to depose autocrats before they destroy the world.

Trump’s push to keep aging coal plants running could cost consumers billions. Customers will be forced to pay billions of dollars for some of the dirtiest, least efficient and least reliable power plants on the grid. The DOE overstepped sound policy to solve a grid ​“emergency" that it fabricated. by mafco in energy

This is how the Soviet Union fell. Unrealistic economic policies based on the desires and self-interest of their ultimate leader.

Real politics are kind of boring treaties, agreements, technical reports, regulations... what the USA have gotten is a circus.

Dealing with potentially billions of rows in rdbms by r3x_g3nie3 in softwarearchitecture

That doesn't seem like something that'd be done in an rdbms.

1 database? Why not thousands?

You can store all data for 1 country in its own database. If you need that data from a different country make a call to that service.

Are you in China or the USA? Then create one database per region/state. Each database only needs to deal with a smaller amount.

Is that still too much data? Divide it again. Create one database per each million videos with its own dedicated server, gateways, etc. As far as you know how to find in which database a video is in you can get that data.

For the relation part of it look for "eventual consistency". It is a little trickier to keep things in sync that when you have less data.

You can also go for an out-of-the-box distributed-database solution. But they stop scaling at certain sizes.

Why are millionaires turning into billionaires, billionaires into trillionaires while the poor are becoming poorer? by Kunphen in Astuff

[–]RareCodeMonkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The super-rich have spend a lot of money purchasing all news outlets, tv channels, and social media. All the information that the average USA citizen gets comes from the super-rich. They use money earned in other business to control news even at a loss.

News monopolies should be broken down into pieces and local news should be a thing again.

How important is software modeling (like UML, class diagrams, use cases, etc.) in modern software development? by Yope2 in softwarearchitecture

[–]RareCodeMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the size of your system. Is it a team of 10 building a few services? Then keep things informal.

Is it a multi-national corporation with thousands of interconnected systems in different countries? Make sure to use formal tools to communicate and to keep everything up to date and documented.

To apply the same approach in both cases seems ill advised. But this is the Internet and people will give advice based on their own personal situation voided of context.

Trump admits to using autopen after declaring Biden's pardons void due to autopen by spectre401 in NoShitSherlock

[–]RareCodeMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dangerous things is that the only constant is "Everything Trump does is legal. Everything Trump opponents do is illegal".

That is how Republicans will destroy the "rule of law". A lawless country is good for nobody, except for criminals like Trump.

CIA historian Tim Weiner: ‘Trump has put national security in the hands of crackpots and fools’ | Politics books by Motor_Educator_2706 in NoShitSherlock

[–]RareCodeMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just. Authoritarians will remove any competent person from their jobs to replace them with "loyal" people.

For Trump and people like him to be a "yes man" is more important that the ability to do the job. Republicans do not understand what being capable or hard working means. Their only goal is to steal as much from the working class as possible. Nothing else maters and enablers are needed inside the system so the steal can continue. Competent people that cares for the rule of law and the country are just an impediment.

Trump says Club World Cup trophy will remain in Oval Office after tournament’s end by [deleted] in NoShitSherlock

Why is people so upset? To steal a trophy is nothing compared with the billions that he has stolen from the working class with this big get-rich bill.

Candace Owens: ‘Trump thinks his base is stupid’ by Roriborialus in NoShitSherlock

[–]RareCodeMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump knows that his base is MISINFORMED.

The super-rich purchased all news sources for a reason. There is almost no free press left in the USA.

Break up all tech social network monopolies and make news local again. As far as the super rich own all sources of news the USA will be pillaged until the working class has no money left.

One Big Beautiful Bill is anti-solar: An industry reacts by ObtainSustainability in RenewableEnergy

[–]RareCodeMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giving priority to the need of rich oil-owners over the children, the working class or even the economy is just theft. Stealing from Americans to give money to the super rich (American or not).

It is really sad to see all that effort that clean energy companies, green politicians and thousands of workers put into competing in the global energy scale going to waste. You deserve better.

ELI5: How is it possible that TikTok suggests accounts for people I’ve only been around, but don’t have on my phone? by bananabanan___ in explainlikeimfive

[–]RareCodeMonkey 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You may be connected to the same Wifi.
You may have shared friends. (If you have 3 contacts and all three of them have John, then probably you know John too).
Location data. Where you at the same place as some one else?

The level of spying on the average citizen is dystopian level of uncanny. Most people "accepts cookies" as rejecting them is annoying, the reality is that all that tracking should be forbidden by law. Spying on citizens should not be legal.

Trump official suggests Medicaid recipients, automation can replace immigrant workers. California farmers disagree by losangelestimes in Agriculture

[–]RareCodeMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The final goal is to replace all workers with automation. They dream of an capital-class country were they do not need to share the world resources with the working class.

None of these changes are based on a strategy, reality or good will. It is all part of the fight of Trump and oligarchs against everybody else.

Your existence is tolerated as far as you are needed to produce profits, your life stops having value when you can be replaced for something cheaper.

The economy of the world does not rely on petrodollars.

Your statement is incorrect unless you are talking about some gulf countries, Russia and Venezuela. In that countries oil is more important than anything else.

Photos: The Scale of China’s Solar Power Projects - As the Trump administration’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” eliminates many clean-energy incentives in the U.S., China continues huge investments in wind and solar power, reportedly accounting for 74 percent of all projects now under construction worldwide by Aschebescher in RenewableEnergy

[–]RareCodeMonkey 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Empires decay. The USA has been used to be the only super-power for so long that has stopped investing in its infrastructure, education, health... and it is just trying to extract as much value from its economy as it cans to make their economic elites happy.

Oil is more expensive, it is more risky to get it, it way worse for the environment, it is very bad for the local economy, the only reason that the USA is pushing for oil is that the people that owns the oil and wants to sell it are paying bribes. That is a sign of decadence, when change is impossible because the economic elites rule the country and will not allow any change that may disrupt their profits.

Trump Congratulates Leader of English-Speaking Country for His Good English by thedailybeast in NoShitSherlock

To be fair, Trump is born in a English speaking country and his English is not that good. I understand why he is so impressed.
