371·10 days agoI don’t see where his wife is a gold digger. According to the article, he’s fallen for repeated scams and, the way they work is that once you’ve fallen for one scam, they sell your information to other scammers as an easy mark. As her spouse, he probably has access to all her money; if they get divorced, she’ll at least be able to protect her half of their assets.
[Notice that it doesn’t say his wife wants to leave him, just get divorced.]

Technology@lemmy.world•Data centers need electricity, utilities need years to build – who should pay?
251·14 days agoMake the data centers build their own power plants. Then they get all the risk and all the reward.
Make them put the power plant right next to the data center, that way they’re not stressing out the rest of the grid. And that way the exact same community that gets the benefits of hosting the data center also gets the environmental costs of the power plant.

Get one of those reacher-grabber things they promot to the elderly; that’ll let you access more of the space (you can use the grabber as a pusher as well).
Then store lightweight things that you’d like somewhat accessible and are aggravating to store somewhere else. If this was my mom’s space (she loves to travel), she’d store her empty luggage in there. If this was my sister’s, she’d put all her holiday stuff into plastic bins with large handles and store that in there.
I beg to differ: spez has ruined reddit for everyone.

Technology@beehaw.org•Your Data Might Determine How Much You Pay for Eggs
10·22 days agoTribeca is a neighborhood in Manhattan. Everything in Manhattan is more expensive, simply because of the cost to rent the store. [Not denying there are other factors, but that will be a big one, simply because Manhattan cannot grow outward any more.]
Rochester is a large city in the north of New York State, on the banks of Lake Ontario. It has plenty of room to grow out - and it’s surrounded by rural counties. Eggs are cheaper there simply because there are more chickens and less humans than there are near Manhattan.
Again, there are unfortunately other factors in play. But surely they could’ve used a better example than the price of eggs in two such disparate parts of the state?

Their official goal is to round up 3000 people per day - which is why they’re going after anyone they can, because “the worst of the worst” have all slipped through their fingers for years and are hard to find so they have to make up those numbers somewhere.
But - they don’t have the capacity to process 3000 people per day and, even if they could, no country is going to accept that many people in a lump, even they are citizens of that country. This was always going to end up with massive amounts of people warehoused somewhere.
Of course, with the need to constantly and massively expand detention facilities (the goal is an extra 3000 people every day!), those detention facilities are going to be hastily built, under-staffed, and under-resourced: not enough beds, blankets, food, clothing, sanitation facilities, medical support, etc. Which is exactly how the Nazis ended up with the conditions in their concentration camps - remember, the camps in Germany were labor camps with extremely poor conditions.
The next step will be companies who can’t hire enough minimum wage people or who want to skip health and safety laws, to hire workers from the camps. This government will accept, because they’ll get kickbacks from the companies and an official-if-cheap wage “paid” to the government to help offset the costs of the camps.
The inmates will be housed in poor conditions: minimal shelter (don’t expect air conditioning or even heating), thin mattresses (if any), thin blankets, minimally nutritional food, no medicine and minimal medical support - pretty much WWII concentration camp conditions. With 3000 people per day, it can’t be any different.
And then the inevitable diseases will rip through the camps, and a bunch of people will die, and the rest will be weaker - no medical care, and minimal food and shelter. But there’ll be another 3000 and another, so the losses won’t be entirely noticable - except in an ever-expanding graveyard. Instead of going to all the trouble of digging and then filling in graves, wouldn’t it be easier just to burn the corpses? It would certainly limit accountability for the losses!
Oh - but what should we do with those who can’t work - the young, the old, the disabled or infirm …
