Probationary employees are fired afaik without any severance, as they are not yet covered by worker protections. Even those who do accept the “buyout” may be unpleasantly surprised in March with the looming government shutdown and correspon

“Things many of the doge staffers are too young to have experienced yet” This I think pervades the zeitgeist of the moment. Regardless of age, we have fabulously wealthy (mostly men) who have experienced little to no suffering in life. Now

I googled "How many people work for the federal government?" and landed here: https://usafacts.org/articles/how-many-people-work-for-the-f... , which pulls the data from the same OPM data sources. I will admit

You've moved the goalposts. Your previous comment implied that the OPM data set does not include the facets for age, tenure, salary band, etc that the DOGE website presents. That's incorrect- the OPM data set includes those facets

What’s amazing to me is that FSD to this day cannot recognize active school zones. Even my 6 year old Audi onboard cameras can do that. If you put FSD on and you go through a school zones, the Tesla will happily zip at full speed completely

Awww. Poor LLM companies worried about competing companies creating models based on … data “stolen” from their own model? Totally makes sense, since the original LLM was conceived without data, kind of like the Virgin Mary. Let’s just all p

This is what’s frustrating with the current political situation. Since we are already wielding the sledgehammer, why not take it to this system, which would actually solve some real problems for every day people?

Man. I did stuff like this as an 18 year old. Then I grew up to be a mature professional. I don’t want to taint these people for life, and at the same time I don’t want them anywhere near sensitive data or critical systems for our national

Don't worry, the extra tariffs, mad growth from unshackling those repressed corporations from pesky regulations, closing the Department of Education, USAID, and of course the establishment of the strategic memecoin reserve will magical

The crime in question occurred in a non-state, so that isn’t much help here.

I’m confused so when the president says something I’m supposed to not take it seriously? So when he said he would pardon all J6 defendants, and all his sycophants including his VP said - well of course not the violent ones - we should or sh

Most of Europe and the world don’t have as wide ranging protections for free speech or bearing arms as we do, either. So using that as an argument is not relevant, regardless of any spiffy smart sounding Latin phrases. The text of the 14th

It’s already happened. The avian flu has driven supplies down and prices through the roof for eggs. My local deli is now charging an extra surcharge of 40c per egg. Strange, considering bringing the price of eggs down seemed to be a key mes

Strange that the wsj has suddenly found some courage, considering they were the among the biggest cheerleaders of his candidacy. Did they not hear him continually say he would impose tariffs on day one?

It is a bit more subtle, as a better analogy is “protection racket” ala the Mob. Paramount for example is implying that they may settle the lawsuit Trump filed against cbs as this would help their chances to approve a proposed merger with S

So. This hasn’t happened yet. It’s just a bill sponsored by a nut job representative. Not a law. Not even put up for debate yet. From your definition, North Korea forbids the “import” of most of the Internet for normal citizens. The fact th

Oh, absolutely. And they’ve managed to create multiple diverse income streams as well- so if this little racket is shut down, well we have a shitcoin for sale, or some branded sneakers, how about a bible or watch? Heck why not just have a p
