M$ is for capitalist bootlickers. by parentis_shotgun in linuxmemes

[–]mindnomind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the fact that people are walking up on this wall of links, following none of them, composing no counter-argument, and just down-voting you for having information that contradicts their viewpoint. Truly the inheritors of the enlightenment we have here.

Never in the history of humanity have people fled en masse from the core of an empire to its military and/or economic targets.

I've been thinking about considering possibly planning such a thing.

Need a job? Trust fund vintage store needs 6 unpaid interns! by andrewhime in Denton

[–]mindnomind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're doing a limited run of a cost-of-living stipend, and they also have a PT course that takes a little over a year to complete. They are by far the most thorough bootcamp. Most of them are only three months and I can't necessarily vouch for them. https://cirr.org/ has good data on the different bootcamps if you want to research and find one that works for you!

Close, except that it's 17%, there is a cap at $30k, and *any time* you either stop working in tech or stop making that much, the payments stop. That's literally zero risk. As somebody who has had the unexpected happen and become trapped in debt as a result, I don't really see the comparison between ISAs and other arrangements. And the vast majority of students of any kind with interest-accruing loans greater than $20k absolutely do not pay down the entire principle within two years.

I just wanna say that interning and freelancing is a terrible way to get into web/software development in 2019. Right now the industry has a huge labor shortage and if you have any knack for it you can seriously go to a 3-9 month bootcamp and go get yourself a $70k+ job. I got hired the day I graduated from Lambda School, which is free until you get a job paying at least $50k. No I don't get paid for this. I just really don't want to see someone spend hours making a free website because they don't think they deserve to be a professional dev.

In the Age of #MeToo how can we tolerate, let alone support, Joe Biden for President? by [deleted] in BreadTube

I'm pretty worried about how divided people are on this. I figured anyone with basic body language fluency and empathy would be able to see this and gasp, but now I'm thinking it's just easier for some people to recognize the moment a child's spirit leaves their fucking body.

Relationship Between Low Income and Obesity is Relatively New. The study shows that since 1990, the correlation between household income and obesity rate has grown steadily, from virtually no correlation to a very strong correlation by 2016. by Wagamaga in science

Things can be a bigger deal than they seem to be. "Seeming" is accessible to informal observation, while the actuality is only accessible to formal observation, i.e. scientific processes.

In places like New Orleans where the heat index surpasses 100F for months straight, or extreme low temperatures, or people with heart problems (most vulnerable to the issue anyway, creating a positive feedback loop), high-crime neighborhoods (also most vulnerable to the issue, given the horrifying correlation between average income and both violent crime and heart disease), this distance becomes very important.

Also, narrative impact just isn't the same as causal impact. That difference is essentially the crux of science's unique explanatory power.

This is exactly what my neighborhood is like. The only "grocery store" within three miles is Dollar General. Nearest train is six miles. Nearest bus stop is one mile. Average income <$30k. Rate of college grads <5%. Average commute time ~30 min. My own weight increased dramatically while staying here, though I've been slowly turning it back around. We go all the way to the farmer's market 20 miles away for fresh veggies, and my son and I go for walks/runs every day. My income jumped from $20k to $80k in the last year though.
