  • Store making me feel like an outcast because of privacy concerns

  • Your phone number is linked to your social security number in the data marketplace. So it’s kind of the same thing except only powerful corporations can access it and not just a random individual.

  • Has anyone successfully used a prepaid phone and number for app registration?

    Jump

  • Not just for banking. For any app that does not need to know my entire work, housing, medical and purchase history, and my entire contact list just to make a transaction on their app.

  • Why would we assume the VOIP company isn’t selling our data?

  • It’s not really compromising but that the VOIP service sells or shares my info as part of their T&C so it would mean having the same level of security as my putting my primary phone number out there, only now I have 2 entities selling & sharing my info, plus the VOIP cost.

  • ADP gives you a person’s username and the name of all their employers when you type in their name and phone number.

  • ADP.com > menu > sign in > need help signing in > my current employer uses ADP

    If the person does currently work with a company using ADP, it will work 100% of the time.

    If the person USED to work for a company using ADP, it will work some of the time. I’m guessing it has to do with the particular ADP/subsidiary services used by the most recent employer. That’s just a guess.

  • You’re right. One can always email privacy@adp.com if they don’t live in the state of California and are looking to waste some time and blood pressure points.

  • Sorry, friend! ADP stands for Automatic Data Processing. They are a leader in the Payroll & HR solutions. Its where you go to view your paycheck or update your insurance beneficiary information.

  • Hey, now. Don’t go blaming the person who is calling attention to negligence of another. 5 years ago, ADP had user support service to handle login issues. But with the diminishing right to privacy in recent years, it is much more convenient for them to simply give the information away.

  • Elon Musk followers turn on him after he backs importing 'super talented engineers'

    Jump

  • Oh shit! That’s so fucked up.

  • Elon Musk followers turn on him after he backs importing 'super talented engineers'

    Jump

  • I feel this is really the issue. In my own experience working in tech, I they HB1 staff does very well. And I know of a few that left to take jobs with other companies (who presumably also sponsored them) after 1-2 years, so the competition for fair pay was still there. They were also entirely men. I feel like it’s a way to make sure they get the people who don’t ask for too much, in terms of protection from labor practices and sexual harassment. With Amazon’s model being a complete PR and legal disaster currently. it seems to make sense.

  • All the way since the first company arrived here—the Virginia Company, that is. A handful of OG tech bros who found themselves a land of unrestricted resources and no boss around. They just needed some customers. And thus began immigration.

  • Scrapping the whole system would force us to finally fix our education system and stop intentionally raising unskilled people who leave college with $100k of debt and are still unqualified for a job.

    Jump

  • Almost all of the HB-1 sponsors in my workplace are making 100k+. That may be lower than the average pay for that position in some cases, but it’s definitely not starving anyone.

  • YSK There’s someone running around Lemmy posting misinformation against Wikipedia

    Jump

  • Yep. Just like for-profit companies, having a diverse range of revenue streams is necessary for securing the financial health of the organization. While Wikipedia receives significant donations from companies like Google and Microsoft, it is essential to also solicit contributions from individuals to ensure that their income is not overly reliant on a single source. Just like in for-profits, Wikimedia likely determines the percentages of income from various sources needed to maintain this diversity. This concept seems particularly important for Wikipedia given its mission to provide unbiased information.

    On another note, I’ve seen your same “100 years” notion mentioned a few times on this post. I can’t imagine that everyone who’s saying it independently had the idea to analyze their financial statements and calculate projections over 100 years. Is this an article you’re quoting? Just curious.

  • The Walmart Effect | New research suggests that the company makes the communities it operates in poorer—even taking into account its famous low prices

    Jump

  • I thoroughly enjoyed this article. It was full of cited information and even the sources led to interesting reads.

  • Apparently that particular round of slander was not as successful as this one.

  • Has anyone successfully used a prepaid phone and number for app registration?

    Jump

  • That is good advice, thank you! Is there a particular brand you’d recommend (DM me if you don’t want to share publicly). I was looking into a few major retailer flip phones but they both required the retailer to scan it for activation and I wasn’t entirely sure what that does tracking-wise, so I stopped to do some more research.

  • If you’re asking that question because you’re genuinely conflicted about donating and you’re not just here spreading divisive nonsense on behalf of Elon Musk, you could do a deeper delve into the entire foundation or look up the Wikipedia page on Income Statements.

    You seem to be hung up on the operating expenses. That’s just a finance term for certain operational costs like the electricity bill and insurance. It does not mean the total of what it costs to run the organization and that everything else is in excess. Similarly, salary expenses includes everyone from the HR department to the custodians, not just the rich CEOs.
