I’m sorry. I wasn’t clear. I meant AT&T is pulling out and removing service from people who already have it. They aren’t just pulling out of new projects, they are pulling out of existing service areas.
I thought it was clear in the article but I guess I shouldn’t have assumed. That’s on me.
88 was my favorite number for a long time until I found out that Nazis were using it. Bummer. I’m weirdly still sad about it.
I can’t even tell you why it was my favorite number. I think as a kid, I always heard people pick 7 and I just wanted to be different so I leaned into 8s. Idk.
Now, I struggles because I like 8s but I don’t want to be a Nazi. F’ing Nazis ruin everything.
Even plants have a dominate side! It’s usually the right side and there are reasons for that. I won’t try to explain it here. I’m not good at that kind of thing but I’ll link to the podcast below. It’s less than 30 minutes too!
Hyper focus is a real problem for me. I don’t even realize I’m hungry or that my bladder is full until I’m feeling nauseous or light headed. What feels like 15 minutes is actually hours.
At the same time, if I don’t complete a project from start to finish in one sitting, it’s nearly impossible to restart.
I don’t get basic things done like laundry or remembering to make appointments because I'm stuck on one task. Sometimes I'm afraid to do things I love because I can’t just do it for 20 minutes. Especially video games. I want to relax after work and play but I know I can’t let myself or I might not eat that evening.
I don’t know if this AT&T service covered all of NY but for sake of my point I’m going to assume it covers most to all of NY. Obviously, not everyone would subscribe to AT&T either. I’m generalizing a bit to make a point.
There are approx 8.5 mil households in NY and 1.7 mil qualified for the previous affordable broadband law (couldn’t find an exact number for this current law).
If they charge $60 for the service that’s a potential total of $512,000,000 for NY.
If 1.7 mil get broadband for $15 that’s $25,500,000.
So AT&T is willing to give up a potential $487,000,00 from all other NY customers just to spite low income families.
Note: this is income before any AT&T expenses, just to be clear and fair.
Edit
I was clear or the article wasn’t clear.
ATT is pulling 5G service from existing customers. They were given a 45 day window to find a new provider. I’m not talking about new construction.
they are not obligated to provide fiber at $15. Only broadband. I know there are still expenses with that, but there is much more broadband already available than fiber.
I need help getting started. I’m not an idea person. I can make anything you come up with but I can’t come up with the ideas on my own.
I’ve used it for an outline and then I rewrite it with my input.
Also, I used it to generate a basic UI for a project once. I struggle with the design part of programming so I generated a UI and then drew over the top of the images to make what I wanted.
I tried to use Figma but when you’re staring at a blank canvas it doesn’t feel any better.
I don’t think these things are worth the cost of AI ( ethically, financially, socially, environmentally, etc). Theoretically I could partner with someone who is good at that stuff or practice till I felt better about it.
I got insurance for my dog. He likes to eat things that aren’t food and I have to be extra vigilant. Mostly his toys.
Once, I caught him with my Adderall pill bottle. I cried so much. I thought I killed him.
It was in the middle of the shortage and I had just counted the amount in the bottle earlier that day. I found every single one in the dirt. I was so relieved. I still cried about it though. He’s my best friend and I need him around a bit longer.
My point is you aren’t the only one who has been through this. I learned a lot about myself and my dog that day.
I’m so happy your dog is okay!
Dogs are dogs. We give them the best life we can but they get restless and do things that don’t make sense to me. Owning a dog is like having a toddler that never grows out of it.
I can’t speak for the whole industry, but I’m a person who wanted to make movies and started out as a film major. When you walk into a room as a student and it’s all men, you want to quit because you feel like you aren’t supposed to be there.
As a developer now, I still feel this way, but I’m a grown up now and I just ignore that feeling.
I think women want to do these jobs but they feel like they aren’t allowed to, or are directly told they aren’t allowed to.
13% is the average of all behind the camera jobs. Composers, cinematographers, writers, directors. There are more women in writing positions and there are very few female composers.
But in practice, if men, for example, are the only people hired, they tend to be the only people who get experience, making them always the most qualified for the job.
Extra Facts: For jobs behind the camera, there are something like, only 13% of women employed in the film industry. Not all industries are equal so your through fits really well in some places and less so in others.
Discord has a huge problem with grooming and exploiting children. Snapchat and Roblox too. A while back I dated a guy with an 11 year old kid. That kid was talking to, sharing photos, and even his location with strangers. I reported it to Discord. I think they handled it, but they made me go through the conversation and mark all of the nudity individually. It fucking sucked and it made me angrier.
As soon as I saw this article, I knew it would be Discord.
I was curious after I heard this so I did some searching, and I found a timeline (that was well cited), indicating that she has been accusing Sam and another brother is this for several years.
Idk if the assaults are true or not, but it does seem like there is some emotional abuse. It’s definitely odd that a billionaire’s sister is living in poverty when the family claims she has one or more mental illnesses.
I can’t know what’s really going on in their personal lives, but I do know it’s hard to believe someone preaching about UBI while wearing a $500k watch, letting a sister experience homelessness, and actively working to destroy jobs with AI.
I felt this way too before I saw a doctor. I would see posts online about it and relate to them, but I knew social media posts can be inaccurate. I knew that that type of thing targets very generic symptoms to attract more interactions.
I thought everyone was tired and stressed like I can be. I spent a lot of time thinking I was lazy or not good enough because I couldn’t get stuff done that seemed easy for other people.
It wasn’t until my partner suggested I talk to my doctor about it because he saw signs.
Honestly, the best thing you can do is talk to a doctor if you feel like symptoms are disrupting your ability to function. If you’re doing fine, you might not need it! But the best thing I ever did was talk to my doctor about this, anxiety, and a potential sleep related disorder (I’m still working on the latter).
I have ADHD and I will hyper fixate on something for 12 hours straight, forgetting to eat or take a bathroom break. I will learn all about it and do it perfectly, but then I will be useless for a day or two, as I lose my car keys in the refrigerator and then remember I went to the grocery store and make a sandwich instead of looking for them.
Weird. I’m not seeing it. I checked the sidebar before I asked. I’m using an app. Maybe that’s why. I’ll check it in the browser.
