Yeah, sure. Everyone throwing out old books is knowledgeable enough to know and willing enough to check that the book they're throwing isn't rare or important.

You'd think people would check on the off chance it's worth a bunch but you'd be surprised.

To be honest, I'd be MUCH less against this practice if this shredding at the very least included saving the original scans at at least 300 dpi for everyone to access, freely.

Ideally, they wouldn't cut them by the spine, but even giving the despined ones to an archive/library would be just above the unpermissible line.

Despining, scanning and public access archiving is borderline permissible.

You don't get it. It was never about past decisions guiding or restricting future ones.

What precedent is: a) to be used as an argument and b) a way for the high court to set rules for lower ones to abide by... Until the next recalibration.

They can: hire locally (not a bad thing), move out of overpriced areas (also not a bad thing), pay/find closer housing for employees and negotiate better prices (also not a bad thing) or just make remoteable jobs remote.

All positive consequences of... Having to pay your employeea for their time spent for the company.

which is almost worse than stringing together random fancy words.

Also, it's FOSS so you can always make your own skin/theme.

Not only that. Travel time should count as work time, with full reimbursement of all travel costs: gas, tickets,...

If they really feel that added cost is worth it? Let them.

Takes you three hours of travel time to get to work and back? That counts into your 8h workday, so you'll both be paid full salary for it and get to work "only" 5h at the office.

Most should quickly turn away from the idea.

Yeah sorry, saussage fingers. Fixed now.

That is everyone except a handful of designations. Everyone except babies, the dead, and the theoretically alive such as Mitch McConnel.

enforce their laws there

Do they really? Since there isn't any permanent base there (unless we believe in the Nazis in Antarctica conspiracy), any law enforcement is done within international maritime law - meaning no claim necessary.

Also it's not as if chips alone went insanely up beacuse the manufacturing equipment did so as well. And if you're building fabs, you're not gonna do it in the US or Europe - for a reason. Even Apple gave in to "Designed in California".

The problem is that this is a client side javascript-based attack - meaning your browser sends these malicious requests. So a DDOS, not "just" a regular (centralized) DOS. Anyone opening the page with javascript turned on (which is 99% of real users, however for Lemmy the statistic's surely a bit better) is an "attacker".

You can - once you know of the nature of the attack (this one's relatively simplistic), just react to any realistic-looking request and ~~block~~ ignore the malicious ones - in this case garbled rng output.

Rate limiting would only lead to what the attacker wants - legit users (who are unknowingly sending these malicious requests) being blocked from accessing the site.
