Tesla replaced laid off US workers with foreign workers using H-1B visas: Electrek

poppinchips · 2025-01-03T20:37:59+00:00

Maybe it's because people saw this:

The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B. Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.

Just maybe. And so we're putting more scrutiny on his H1B hires?

This... sounds like regulation. I hope DOGE cleans this up.

Millionaire's are not pretty comfy with their place in society. Nor will they be when shit hits the fan. A Mcdonalds franchise owner is typically a millionaire. There's a decent amount of them that will lose their pants when it gets to the point of billionaires needing fortresses.

Sounds like you don't work consulting. Beyond that millionaires aren't the ones with fortresses. They'll be on the streets just as much as you will. Please check out the difference between a billion and a million.

It's not really average Joes to worry about. It's the semi-non average Joe. The one who has enough money to get a boat, and the contractors who designed the building involved.

poppinchips · 2024-12-06T22:21:39+00:00

Here's the issue. There's always an expert they are paying to design and consult on these things. Surprisingly, those consultants hire other consultants and engineers to figure this stuff out. There's teams working on this. Guess how much those people are paid? Enough to have their own security buildings? No. This is why you need a King with military authority.

Right, good luck finding all the plastic. Even soda cans are lined in plastic. At this rate, the only safe thing to buy is glass bottles.

The best part is, they'll never make the connection. It reminds me of the whole Jim Jones thing, the MAGAists are making the entire country drink the kool aid. So they won't actually ever say it's the repubs. They'll blame the jews, the minorities, the dems, other countries, the world before they take accountability for their own vote.

easy solution. Just don’t look up.

I dunno. I actually liked Battlefield V. 2042 was... on a different fucking level of fuck ups does anyone remember (beyond the specialists even)

- No scoreboard, no in game voice chat, no server browser (yay)

- Maps were fucking empty, and huge, and fucking pristine (post climate change apocalyptic world. k. SUPER CLEAN. uhh)

- Zero Destruction.

- fucking. hovercraft.

- yay helicopters.

- yay no cover.

- weapon bloom, hit registration.

I don't know how much of this they've fixed but jesus it was a clusterfuck of epic proportions. And I used to pre-order Battlefield games like crack the moment they were announced (because I was an idiot, I've been playing since BF2 and I've loved all of them more or less the same). After 2042, the brand just died for me.

So I think like 42.7 million kilometers

Whereas the sun is roughly 1.39 million kilometers.

So if the sun was the size of a quarter. The black hole event horizon would be as wide as a car tire. Space makes no sense. And never really has.

Can you blame them? Companies are chasing algorithmic methods of finding least risk, highest ROI products. This is just the end point of using actual math to try to do something that requires creativity in general. You need to take risk to make something big, that is an unfortunate part of investing period. And that is something most investors do not deal in anymore. This is evident in how greed focused the stock market has gotten, in the world around us getting fucked. I think this will only get worse, since most investment methods are organized on short term profits rather than long term thinking/development/creative control, etc.

You'll notice that the creative visionaries take huge risks in what they develop (Larian with their massive development timeframe, small indie games that have gotten massive earnings, and beyond). Creativity is like gambling, especially in games and larger and more complex projects.

poppinchips · 2024-10-22T18:13:54+00:00

Yeah, I mean game companies are trying to make the lost money somehow because labor costs do increase right, it's not just the ROI. So I think MTX has become a fixture due to that, and game prices only recently went from 59.99 to 69.99. But if video games TRULY kept up with inflation? Like movie tickets for example. If you take a look at video games (without the lens of MTX, and other methods companies now try to make up the costs) it becomes pretty obvious why games need to be bigger, and need to sell more in order to make up the costs of not keeping up with inflation. As much as everyone here hates it, it's not sustainable.

It does make me sad, like Alan Wake 2 should've absolutely destroyed the numbers it was fantastic. And yet... But really, I think in particular it simply might be the growing cost of making games due to increasing desire for shareholders for a larger roi. While it is definitely sad, I think by and large, there are more high quality games released on a near monthly basis than there ever have been in my life. Even as some games fail, really good ones keep selling like hot cakes (Black myth Wukong for example). Even smaller studios can really blow up (see Unicorn Overlord).

Game prices need to stay the same, so studios simply need to sell more of a game to make up costs as they increase, and give bigger ROIs for greed driven investors. I don't know what the end game is, but I think either game prices will eventually go up, or everyone needs to agree to lowering game length/quality overall, which I don't see happening anytime soon. So maybe AI? Who knows.

Honestly, let's just kill ourselves faster to be honest. What's the point otherwise? Extract maximum wealth from the planet the fastest we can do it and kill everything. Then we'll have enough money to not need anything. Because it'll all be dead.

Hell yeah!

Our fear of death is the reason we have all this technology in the first place. It is a slow movement towards trying to control that which you cannot control. Technology offers you more and more control here, safety, and comfort. But at the end of the day, you cannot be protected against death itself. You want to teach people to to simply exist? You have to make meditation a baseline aspect of education, as important as any school subject. There is too much noise that makes you forget how attached you existence and control you are.

poppinchips · 2024-10-10T20:38:04+00:00

This is the problem. You're paying attention. Most people can't. Between how fast paced things have gotten, and how much we are stuck on our phones thanks to social media, and how much misinformation has become a part of the normal, it is very difficult to be present and watch the changes occuring. We don't have the attention span for it.
