Hey larry you work at pizza hut right? Did they ever tell you what that new buck per order 'california related extra business costs' fee is? I hope it's for the new min wage and not some extra bullshit like their passing on a fuel charge. Also do they gently caress over the employees when a 'we hosed up an order here's a 5 buck credit'? Gets issued? Still guaranteed business, and I didn't even raise a stink dude just automatically gave it to me.

Lmao that a stilted moron like this would call himself a CEO CEOs absolutely don't bother with micromanaging their employee schedules. what kind of moron would look at that poo poo if they run everything? MOREOVER: gently caress you who the gently caress works more than 8 hours a day? and if they do they should get OT you stupid bitch.

I hope it's for the new min wage and not some extra bullshit like their passing on a fuel charge. I work for dominos and the closest pizza hut is 30 miles away. However my gut says the $1 just goes straight to corporate and whether the employee eats a loss on compensating a customer for a hosed up order depends on the franchisee. My store charges a delivery fee of $3.49, of which I get $1, so half the people I deliver to figure that means I get that whole thing and I dont need a tip. Nope, it's just rent seeking by the dominoes corporation because somehow franchise fees and logistics weren't enough of a free gravy train

Larry Parrish posted:Look dickhead, I live in rural California where the legislature is already trying the incentivise public transit through gas taxes method. What you neoliberal morons seem to forget is that city and county officials are often far more easily bribable, and small businesses like gas stations typically aren't rich enough to engage in creative accounting, and so give more money than whatever pitiful subsidies the state provides. So when you raise gas taxes, instead of incentivizing using public transit, what happens is people still drive exactly as much because there isn't public transit to use or it doesn't go where they work, or my personal favorite of only running during office hours so no actual poor person can use it for work, and now poor people pay a bigger proportion of taxes for zero benefit to anyone besides the ego of lanyard wearing dickheads in government *neoliberals blame poor people for being forced to drive in personal automobiles in order to eke out a miserable existence*

i think i just realized its a matter of time before companies tracking where their workers go and what they do on the weekends and poo poo via the work supplied permanent on-call smart phone becomes a thing and gently caress it, if your amazon echo listens to all the poo poo you say just to sell you ads why wouldn't companies spy on their workers' work supplied smart phone's mics edit: vaguely paranoid, but then again we do live in the shittiest possible cyberpunk dystopia jimmyjams has issued a correction as of 12:10 on Dec 9, 2018 |

I hate seeing my discipline commodified in the form of an immature technology and used as a tool of oppression. but hey what else is new under capitalism, yeah?

This stuff is cool but I don't know much about it. edit: Also, would you be comfortable briefly commenting on your research area? It's my understanding that most EEG research is focused on identifying signals which can provide the basis for input/output interactions. Is that accurate?

Accretionist posted:Are you aware of anything 'mad scientist/cyberpunk-esque in the works, especially out of start-up land? I think the best metaphor for where we are in terms of brain-computer interfacing is somewhere along the lines of where VR was in the late 80's to early 90's, where you can see some tech demo stuff at trade shows that do a couple of cool but ultimately gimmicky things, but we are decades out from some key technological developments that would actually allow us to do something useful. (and of course, VR isn't even very useful today, but hey, maybe in a decade or two it will be even better, right?) that said, there are a few small exceptions. for instance, there are some promising developments in intracranial prostheses for people suffering from certain neurological disorders. there are, for instance, implants that can be used to help mediate the symptoms of parkinson's disease by stimulating the basal ganglia. that technology has been around for about a decade, but it is becoming more refined as more biocompatible materials are being used. while I rather doubt that elective implants are a likely prospect for the near future, the maturation of this technology is a necessary precursor for that kind of mad-science sci-fi tech. in addition, more work is being done trying to improve the specificity and general effectiveness of trans-cranial magnetic stumulation (TMS), a noninvasive brain stimulation technique where we induce electrical charges in the cortex by using hyperfocused electromagnets. no surgery is necessary, you just hold the coil against the portion of the head under which your target is, and fire. a fun thing to do with this is to target the motor cortex, because you can basically make people's limbs jerk by instantaneously making that region fire. more practically, it appears that some patients who do not respond to other therapies show improvements in clinical depression. but if we want to get into capitalism.png territory, you don't need to look further than this hot mess of press-baiting vaporware being peddled by none other than Musk himself. when I saw this a week or 2 ago, it made me sick to my stomach, because it occurred to me that I may have no choice but to work for an rear end in a top hat like him when I complete my degree. for all its warts, one of the redeeming qualities of academia is that you generally have some degree of autonomy, and can go home and look at yourself in the mirror and feel like you are doing something of some positive social consequence, even if that mirror is in the bathroom of a shoebox studio you can barely afford. but I may not have the luxury of that choice, considering how bad job prospects are probably going to get in academia in a decade or so. god save me if I must professionally enable and stroke the ego of a repulsive conman.
