a_gelatinous_cube posted:Walmart doesn't even have tap-to-pay in the year 2023. They don’t want to pay for NFC card readers, make software changes to support it, or train associates on it. They have their own wallet and payment solution that is QR/App based. Any way to cut costs! There’s also the fact that until recently lots of banks had limits on tap to pay transactions. Depending on the bank or terminal type, tap had to be under X $. They won’t do it until the sunset dates for mag strips in the later part of this decade.

Ammanas posted:going from a cc to a csu didn't really feel different, just more expensive. like the education and facilities quality were identical, but the csu was 4x more. then I couldn't get into a lynchpin course that my degree runs through in the middle of the tract for an entire year due to the # of students so i ended up basically wasting 2 semensters. Yup, I often call my CSU a community college with a bigger land grant.

Article one: Of course your stuff costs more! It's supply and demand, dummy! Article two: Demand for labour outmatches supply. Here's why the answer is to hire kids at below minimum wage instead of attracting workers by offering higher wages.

Lol I commented on an Instagram reel that my wife was my inspiration and hero because she's the best person I know and I got so many furious Andrew Tate guys in my replies over it and none of them could manage a way around my ironclad rebuke of "I am happily married to a beautiful woman and every day is a joy, you are single and getting mad underneath Instagram posts, why would anything you say about relationships have value to anyone"

Any way to cut costs! Idk what walmarts you been to, but walmart terminals have been nfc capable for years now and use chip. There is another reason why it hasn't been done, fit isn't even costs as using walmart pay for a transaction costs them more, but because nfc cards usually have a different number for the nfc part and nfc phones randomize that number even further. And they really like tracking purchases and shoppers on spreadsheets to find out what to sell or what to put for sale or not. But I am not sure how valuable that data really is

Bar Ran Dun posted:regarding batteries and oil. Just like the California ban, I'll believe it when I see it. The only currently feasible option if the nation must have cars is to pump out hybrids because these big battery electrics don't work for the vast majority of people. Pretend I did a big effort post on public transit but lol that won't happen.

I mean by that standard anything less would be even worse and free for all you know? Honestly given how easy it is to have people put in massive amounts of effort for trash governments and projects id imagine they can do the same if they ever find themselves born in a place that actually wants to succeed.

Fun fact: they don’t need you to use Walmart Pay to track purchases and do analytics. They have all your credit information from Experian and can match any credit card transaction to a household. Almost all assortment decisions are based on household info from traceable tender. It’s valuable enough that they’ve started selling anonymized aggregated versions of it to vendors. Most other big box retailers are doing the same thing. They know where you live, how many people are in your household, your average income, demographics, and what products you like to purchase. If you use a credit or debit card, they know everything.

SorePotato posted:community college is just a longer-form scam and you dont even get a job at the end > A lot of community colleges also offer trade programs. Mine in California offered welding courses, among others. These ARE the trade schools tons of folks advocate for. skooma512 posted:
It was the opposite for me. It helps that I lived in the dorms of my CSU my junior year (I didn't know anyone in LA at the time) and my CC was a ghost town in the reactionary shithole known as the High Desert.

That's brilliant spin. Much better than saying: "Because you're all a pack of thieves running out the doors with our goods, you'll now pay in advance and a packing robot will deposit your cardboard box of purchases at the door cargo slot while you wait, outside, and from the other side of several security barriers"

Centrist Committee posted:Wait what now https://techcrunch.com/2023/02/21/the-non-profits-accelerating-sam-altmans-ai-vision/ Altman controls at least two nonprofits, OpenAI and OpenResearch, and has provided funding to a third, not previously reported, known as UBI Charitable. UBI Charitable’s mission is to research and deploy Universal Basic Income (UBI) programs — the no-strings-attached payouts scheme that futurists like Altman and Musk believe will be necessary when advances in robotics and AI, similar to those being developed by the two technologists, render many human occupations unprofitable. It is already funding at least two UBI schemes.
