Owl house is a show by Dana Terrace that ran on Disney
It slowly developed into big pro-LGBTQ themes
Disney panicked, cancelled the show, claimed it was unpopular despite excellent ratings
Dana Terrace left with a bunch of others to form an independent studio
Their first show (Knights of Guinevere) features a floating amusement park that rains garbage all over the workers below, and robots that have orbs on their heads that produce a silhouette strikingly similar to that of Mickey Mouse
The new rules for commercial driver’s licenses that Duffy announced in September make getting them extremely hard for immigrants because only three specific classes of visa holders will be eligible. States will also have to verify an applicant’s immigration status in a federal database. The licenses will be valid for up to one year unless the applicant’s visa expires sooner.
Under the new rules, only 10,000 of the 200,000 noncitizens who have commercial licenses would qualify for them, which would only be available to drivers who have an H-2a, H-2b or E-2 visa. H-2a is for temporary agricultural workers while H-2b is for temporary nonagricultural workers, and E-2 is for people who make substantial investments in a U.S. business. But the rules won’t be enforced retroactively, so those 190,000 drivers will be allowed to keep their commercial licenses at least until they come up for renewal.
Those new requirements were not in place at the time the 17,000 California licenses were issued. But those drivers were given notices that their licenses will expire in 60 days.
So most likely, they will not be able to renew, even if they have a valid work visa that would’ve enabled them to keep their existing CDL if the expiration date had been correct.
Sooo… it’s just an excuse to enact part of this law sooner, against people who otherwise would’ve been grandfathered in (and did nothing wrong), and do some damage to the economy of a blue state?
To solve climate change, we need two fundamental beliefs:
There is an urgent problem
We are capable of taking meaningful action
This graph proves that we can take meaningful action. That proof is essential to our success.
I don’t understand the people who insist that while there is an urgent problem, we have never done anything to address it, we’re currently doing nothing to address, and we will never do anything to address it.
What is the point of that belief?
Perhaps the certainty of failure is more comforting than the vulnerability of working towards a success that isn’t guaranteed.
My Lua experience is about 15 years old at this point, but back then I recall Luarocks had like 10 packages that were actually stable and maintained. Basically a ghost town. I’m gonna guess it hasn’t gotten much better.
To add to the other replies: This is what AI is for. Not to replace labor, but to enhance the ruling class’ ability to exploit labor.
As a convenient side effect: If you use AI to spam people with bug reports, you’re basically DDoSing them… unless they then decide to use AI to help triage the avalanche. And wouldn’t you know it, Google just happens to sell AI to help you solve this problem they made for you!
“Nice FOSS project you got there. It’d be a shame if something happened to it.”
And also also: If FOSS in general turns into a ghost town… where are you gonna turn to get that boilerplate code you need to do a common task? That’s right, AI baby! All roads lead to boiling the Great Lakes so Nvidia can pay itself back.
Not crypto. Just digital. So, centralized, subject to anti-fraud regulation, reversible transactions, etc.
Not loaned out. Explicitly marked as not-loanable. Which would be foolish in today’s market, because you’re losing out on a dividend. Except… the bank actually keeps most of the benefit from your deposit being loanable normally. This way, you get the benefit instead.
Basically, it allows depositors to compete against the banks. So they can’t take you for granted, because you actually have alternative.
