I've been told that I'll be required to return to the office several days a week starting this month.

I have a vulnerable partner who would likely not survive covid. I am fighting this but it would be irresponsible of me to not start interviewing.

If you have a remote data engineering or architect opportunity, preferably Senior to Principal level, I can provide my resume. I have a ton of Snowflake and SQL Server experience as well as over a decade building in AWS.

I have often wondered why, when stores close, landlords leave the spaces empty for years at a time instead of lowering rents. The answer, apparently, is banks often won't let them:

👋 Hi there, Fediverse!

Via @emptywheel:

WOWOWOW.

It must really suck for all those people whose full time job it is to **report** on Congress who should have known better about this being an "offset."

Surely they're all crafting apologies for their subscribers right now?

Jake Sherman:

🚨 BREAKING -- CBO says the #House's #Israel aid bill is not offset at all.

Will add $12.5B to the deficit in the next decade.

Cuts to IRS will decrease revenue by $26.7B

Imagine you are given the opportunity to design an ideal society. You can structure it any way you want. Now, repeat the experiment, but this time there are two things to keep in mind: 1) after setting up the system, you will be reborn into the world you designed with no memory of having designed it, and 2) you will be randomly assigned a gender, race, age, wealth, intelligence, and ability level. This thought experiment was created by philosopher John Rawls (1921-2002).

Hey folks, I have a project going on to support the ACLU.

If you are or know some musician/producer types, would you consider taking part or sharing?

Thanks!

As internet access in #Gaza is rapidly being shut off, we again call on Israel to stop interfering with telecommunications infrastructure in Gaza, and ensure all Palestinians immediately have unrestricted access to the internet. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/10/internet-access-shouldnt-be-bargaining-chip-geopolitical-battles

Dear USA, how come the Republican Party have crooks in power choosing a traitorous speaker, when they should all probably be in jail for sedition. Make it make sense.

A wee spider needed a safe place to molt—it chose a woman’s ear canal

The spider was nesting on her eardrum—and there's video.

I like Parallels for Mac, but I don't appreciate their refusal to ship security updates after a year unless I "upgrade" to their yearly subscription model.

Parallels' model seems to be that with every new version of macOS you should have to pay them again, or run a product with known vulnerabilities.

I'm really sick of how everything has to be a continuing revenue stream for software companies, and it steams me that we still don't have any basic rights or guarantees defined as buyers and users of software.

News Media Scan, launched by DW in coop with @ooni allows users to check which news websites in their country / region are blocked and which are accessible.

It "empowers the public to document and collect evidence of news #media #censorship to support a #free and #open #internet around the world."

I guess switching from looking at LinkedIn invites every other day to once a week was a bad idea. Not sure how I can get out of this invite hole w/out taking a few days off. I might just be done building my network there. Sorry, whoever you 2800 people are.
