  • Seattle Sets the Stage for Automatic Traffic Camera Expansion - The Urbanist

    Jump

  • Yeah, that at least can be systematically identified and corrected; the bias and also inaccuracy of judgement of current human officers seems far worse and when combined with the fact non-vehicular safety is seen as a low priority or completely ignored, getting to "good" for safety of non-vehicular traffic is life and death. A few tickets that get waived, or in my city, Portland Oregon, a citizen sued to prove the cameras inaccurate where they were and won vs. engineers, is a small price to pay vs. the current state of zero enforcement and bodies littering crosswalks and cyclists mown down in "bike lanes".

  • Seattle Sets the Stage for Automatic Traffic Camera Expansion - The Urbanist

    Jump

  • Right; I'm considering requesting cameras in my city to protect crosswalks, pedestrians and cyclists as none of the laws are currently enforced in any meaningful way. One of the most cost-reasonable, effective ways to do that would be to have automatic cameras but the lecherous vendors that want 20-30% of the cut and authoritarian state are two massive concerns I have that make me, at the cost of my own daily safety, hesitant to call this stuff out.

  • I have been surprised an investing community didn't exist since joining Lemmy; while there is overlap to some degree, the specific aims of investing maybe too macro or indeed numerous to not overrun economics.

  • South Korea mandated internet explorer for all purchase checkout until relatively recently maybe the last 5 years. They had all these pieces built around it so checking out at a website you would have to prove your identity using national ID and then only IE would work.

    Be very careful what you ask for.

  • At the rate we're going in the US, anti science and antisocial, clubbing one's next meal or foes and eating the meat raw for lack of other tools is not far off current trajectory.

  • Does a temporary employee qualify to enroll in health insurance immediately upon becoming full-time?

    Jump

  • Moving into an eligible class of employees, e.g. working for the company and being full-time 30 hrs+/week (or whatever their benefit criteria are) is an event that allows for enrollment with insurers outside of the once per year Open Enrollment which is for existing, ongoing, already eligible an/or enrolled employees for the next plan year.

    A waiting period for the start of the benefits, as others have mentioned, once being eligible, may apply to all new employees, e.g. first of next month/30/60 days. As someone who was associated with the company through a 3rd party already there may be separate or less criteria allowing you to enroll sooner than a normal new hire, or you may have the same waiting period. It all depends on the plan design which varies by company but has to meet federal minimum standards thanks to the affordable care act/Obamacare.

  • What do you miss from reddit?

  • I just had my first thread that I came across today, after nearly 2 years here, that was collaboratively funny, creative, diverse and made me remember what lots of talent in a thread can do. Not just anti-establishment/political circle jerking, or a few tech categories that get enough visibility to get participation.

    It was a /mildlyinteresting thread about giraffes being more likely to be struck by lightning. It immediately made me feel like I was finallly home again after 2 years and looking forward to more and more growth in Lemmy and the fediverse.

  • It's not necessarily you getting older; there is a fundamental difference in goals, aims and quality of software now. 99% of major software is either funded by VC or incumbent monopolists who are interested in extractions primarily and establishing moats, barriers to free and fair use, and any way possible to monetize an interaction. This is why those of us who lived through the actual innovation stages aren't excited anymore as it's clear this is not "progress" and the warning flags are there from the first marketing pitch.

    This entire timeline though was part of the plan, it was never going to be free/cheap, functional and easily accessible forever. We are in the frog boiling phase now that doesn't end until we take back some of what has been lost.
