    Niche browser extension idea: Search other stores for reviews of this product.

    As a Canadian I'm often shopping at smaller canadian stores, with 1-2 reviews on products. So I'll end up with another window open to look at the same thing woth 200 reviews at a US store (that either wouldn't ship to me, or wants $$$ to do so).

    @grmpyprogrammer @preinheimer Before internet there were pretty much no reviews, or you had to collect review magazines :) And reviews in those were not that reliable either.

    I think we can figure it out, product identity, personal identity, federated trustworthiness maybe.

    Dude at the coffee shop was wearing this shirt, and let me take a picture. I'm cracking up.

    It was even more hilarious, because the coffee shop is in the Baptist Church building.

    @lcamtuf I think they're buying it at a rate collection the agencies buy it at. It's going to help people. And $20 million is not that much, all things considered.

    @lcamtuf Think of it this way: many of those people who's debt is being traded would like to pay it off, but aren't allowed to pay off 1 cent on the dollar. This way they've paid it off (via taxes) at market rate.

    @freemo @scott_guertin @georgetakei No, they are not. That's why we have something called "overtime pay". Because work in excess of agreed hours is something that is compensated separately.

    @pies@qoto.org avatar

    @freemo @black6 @scott_guertin @georgetakei At my company you calculate your hourly wage from salary divided by 30*8 then multiply it by 1.5 to get the overtime pay rate. Many companies expect people to work for free, like you've said, but they're not good companies.

    @pies@qoto.org avatar

    @freemo @black6 @scott_guertin @georgetakei 238, not 308.

    @freemo @black6 @scott_guertin @georgetakei To be honest I've never heard of overtime pay for hourly employees. How does that work? Where does the overtime start? It's just more hours.

    Surely there’s a market for this, right?

    @Ashley I've traveled by night to spread flower petals in front of my wife's - then girlfriend's - door, as a romantic gesture. When she opened the door in the morning it gave her a huge fright because she thought someone had deliberately spilled garbage in front of her door. Luckily she did appreciate it in the long run.

    Swiss LP owners of the 1970s, judging by 2ndhand :

    "It's crucial to my well-being that I write my name in indelible ink on the album cover, the inner sleeve, and the labels on both sides of the record. To be on the safe side, I'll also put a sticker with my printed name/address on the back."

    @lcamtuf Because we've tried company towns before and they were horrible to people living in them. That's why their success would be a bad thing.

    pies,

    @lcamtuf I also want billionaires to always fail as a rule, because that's the real trickle down economics. Any time they succeed wealth gets more concentrated. Any time they fail and loose money, that money goes to people poorer than them.

    This morning, a VPS hosting a small e-commerce site (powered by WooCommerce on Ubuntu 22.04) experienced another out-of-memory issue. A colleague (one of the developers) urgently called me, asking to upgrade the VPS due to excessive load.

    I pointed out (again, as has often happened in recent weeks) that a VPS with 32GB of RAM (!!!) and 16 dedicated cores (!!!) should not run out of memory with just five simultaneous visits to a small e-commerce site. We host much larger and busier websites on much smaller VPSs. There's likely a WordPress module with a leak, or some interaction between modules causing this issue.

    The response: Okay, but just add more RAM and power to solve it.

    The illusion of "infinite resources" in the Cloud has led to poor development habits. Sometimes I wonder how much energy and resources we waste (and pollution we generate) due to a lack of basic optimization.

    @stefano In a business it might make sense to raise the resources until the problem is fixed. It might also be cheaper to run a larger server instead of getting devs to optimize it/fix it.
