Ram poverty will allow some to be filthy richer by creating needed social subscribed services

The onion cannot top this headline

I forgot to add a comment about this yesterday:

There was a change in USA tax code that lead to many layoffs in the United States. Companies could no longer write off programmer’s salaries and benefits if they were doing pure research. It went from a yearly deduction on corporate tax to something very delayed. Making it effectively gone.

The tax code had been allowed for generations, then suddenly the companies had to actually pay the programmers instead of the federal government reimbursing them

I think it underscores how little each of us understands this very complex society, even when it’s being wrecked

Most new graduates develop their skills after college. Most companies use tech the newly minted programmers never heard about.

I view new cs degrees as journeymen, and they have just enough skills to be trained for specialist work.

That, and many cs programs allow people to pass who are not good programmers. Often many change careers after their first job.

I shall prove my humanity by mildly insulting anyone who reads this.

Wps opens and saves all Microsoft formats but Microsoft has ignored wps

NASA has been crippled; it will probably not significantly compete in any new projects; and it’s doubtful some of the science programs scheduled to launch in the future will be completed

Like you said, the headline is overhyped a bit.

But still exciting because it’s a very important first step. Data colonization is being stopped. Nothing could be done until then.

It also puts hard limits on the expansion of the tech bro billionaires

This is really exciting: hundreds of millions now keep their internet data inside Africa and are no longer hostage to large companies outside of it
