Gotcha. I don't think we can get partial assistance.

It's pretty much all or nothing and even the "all" is virtually nothing.

God I would love to get partial disability and work as many hours as I could manage.

I saw Germany added a newer entry program last month, it's just a matter of having 24k for my wife and I to qualify to move and find work.

That or I need to find a German job :')

Yeah the job market seems really tough right now, and it seems even more hopeless for somebody like myself but I'm keeping out hope 😅

Most of my experience is with automation surrounding javascript/selenium/python for various healthcare companies. I own my own dell server and used to work in engineering software/product support, so the realm of devops isn't entirely foreign to me but I certainly wouldn't say I have a lot of "skills" associated with it other than the ability to google my ass off.

Have any suggestions on cheaper certs that might be worthwhile?

The pricing has always been the part that turned me off of most certs, just having looked through a couple of them Security+ is >$500 which seems insane to me.

Have applied via the state and via the federal gov. Nobody I've worked with has talked about a % based system, and when I search for it I only see things related to Veterans.

Is that a thing for SSI? Do you know if it only applies to veterans?

[–] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago

Not entirely sure if they cater to Americans, but I do see that Germany recently opened up their "chancenkarte" opportunity visas this month.

Gunna check it out and put in-person for Germany. Appreciate it.

Appreciate the feedback :)

 

Looking for a change in work and would love suggestions on how to find jobs with understanding bosses and/or odd hours. I can always get my work done, but I tend to put in bizarre hours for my own projects due to the ebb/flow of chronic pain.

For me personally, I would prefer to work 16 hours on my good days and 0 hours on the days I can barely see straight because of migraine-level pain in my neck and back.

I'm currently working in San Francisco and have major issues getting to/from work without my entire day being focused on work-related travel (not to mention spending all of my time at home recuperating for the next work day)

I would take a massive pay cut to have a job from home with an understanding boss. Country is entirely irrelevant to me if they speak English and accept foreigners; otherwise, I know 2nd-grade-level Spanish, German, and French.

  • Is going through a recruiter a good idea?
  • Would there be any agencies that work specifically with disabled workers?
  • If not, what are good websites for actually getting call-backs on dev jobs?

I have all of the requirements for a home gig (desk, monitors, multiple computers, home server, webcam, etc), is there a way to subtly express that to a potential hiring manger?

Cooperation is laughably naive when they haven't done what you have asked for yet.

[–] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They haven't done shit yet. Don't change your review until it actually happens.

100% true. India is (or was?) also big for games just not being sold there.

Game companies shooting themselves in the foot? Never heard of it.

 

100% (305M)

  • "24.6%" in DRS (75.4M)
  • 22.3% Public Shorts (60.2M)
  • 17.3% Insiders (52.9M w/ Insider+Stagnant)
  • 10.9% Institutions (33.4M)
  • 11.4% MF (34.8M)
  • 9.9% ETFs (30.3M)

96.4% (Or 3.6% left for purchase/shorts)

For there to be no synthetics, there can only be 10.9M in brokerage accounts which would mean apes have DRSd >87% of their total holdings

Or maybe; just maybe, there is a chance of synthetics Chives Bibic Animorph jersan SubDRSive ;)?

On the Original Proposal, an org commented this:

"The commenter expressed concern that moving to T+1 would reduce the time available for a bona fide market maker too close out fail-to-deliver positions and could adversely impact the liquidity role those market makers provide."

To which the SEC included this citation:

Under Regulation SHO's bona fide market making exceptions, the broker-dealer generally should be holding itself out as standing ready and willing to buy and sell the security by continuously posting widely accessible quotes that are near or at the market. The market maker must be at economic risk for such quotes.

“Broker-dealers that do not publish continuous quotations, or publish quotations that do not subject the broker-dealer to such risk (quotations that are not publicly accessible, are not near or at the market, or are skewed directionally towards one side of the market) would not be eligible for the bona-fide market-maker exceptions under Regulation SHO. In addition, broker-dealers that publish quotations but fill orders at different prices than those quoted would not be engaged in bona-fide market making for purposes of Regulation SHO.”). Thus, a market-maker that continually executed short sales away from its posted quotes would generally be unable to rely on the bona-fide market making exceptions of Regulation SHO.

Further, broker-dealers that publish quotations but fill orders at different prices than those quoted would not be engaged in bona fide market-making for purposes of Regulation SHO. The market-maker must also be engaged in bona fide market making in that security at the time of the short sale for eligibility for the exceptions.

Baltimore Bridge Collapse Reverberates From Cars to Coal

Biden vows federal support to rebuild after accident with ship
Disaster adds new pressure on already strained supply chains

By Nacha Cattan, Heather Perlberg, and Brendan Murray March 26, 2024 at 5:32 PM CDT Updated on March 27, 2024 at 12:49 PM CDT

The 1.6 mile-long bridge collapsed in a matter of seconds. The catastrophic consequences are set to stretch out for weeks.

As much as 2.5 million tons of coal, hundreds of cars made by Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co., and lumber and gypsum are threatened with disruption after the container ship Dali slammed into and brought down Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge in the early hours of Tuesday.

Six people were presumed dead after a search in the Patapsco River, officials said. The toll could have been far worse except for a mayday call from the Singaporean-flagged vessel as it lost power.

A major commuter bridge in Baltimore collapsed after being struck by a container ship, causing vehicles to plunge into the water.

The aftermath of the bridge’s collapse throws another spotlight on the fragile nature of global supply chains that have already been strained by drought in Panama and missile attacks on Red Sea shipping by Yemen-based Houthi militants. Docks in New Jersey and Virginia face the threat of being overwhelmed by traffic that’s being forced away from Baltimore, one of the busiest ports on the US East Coast.

“It’s a large port with a lot of flow through it, so it’s going to have an impact,” John Lawler, Ford’s chief financial officer, told Bloomberg TV. “We’ll work on the workarounds. We’ll have to divert parts to other ports along the East Coast or elsewhere in the country.” Six Presumed Dead After Baltimore Bridge Collapse 4:59 WATCH: The impact of the Baltimore bridge collapse will be felt for months. Kailey Leinz and Michael McKee report.

Baltimore only handled about 3% of all East Coast and Gulf Coast imports in the year through Jan. 31, said S&P Global Market Intelligence. But it’s crucial to cars and light trucks, with European carmakers such as Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Volkswagen AG and BMW operating facilities in and around the port. It’s also the second-largest terminal for US exports of coal, with a shutdown potentially hitting shipments to India.

About a dozen large vessels are stuck inside Baltimore’s harbor as well as a similar number of tug boats, according to IHS Markit and Wood Mackenzie’s Genscape. The list includes cargo ships, automobile carriers and a tanker named the Palanca Rio. Port of Baltimore Closed Indefinitely After Bridge Collapse

Note: Ship locations as of 10 a.m. US East Coast time. Tugboats, patrol boats and buoy tenders not mapped.

That’s just the impact on the port.

About 35,000 people used the bridge every day. The annual value of goods going over is about $28 billion, according to the American Trucking Associations.

“We rely on our infrastructure systems for our daily needs, for a huge amount of the goods that we get in the United States from overseas and to have it cut off so suddenly, it’s a huge crisis,” said Yonah Freemark, a researcher at the Urban Institute.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge, named for the man who wrote the text of the Star-Spangled Banner, took five years to build and was completed in 1977. The cost at the time was around $141 million, according to one estimate. A rebuild today is likely to cost “several billion dollars,” said Freemark.

President Joe Biden said he wants the federal government to pay and vowed “to move heaven and earth to reopen the port and rebuild the bridge.” Read More

But Baltimore is in for a lengthy reconstruction. It could be weeks before any port operations resume as officials need to recover missing victims, remove bridge debris and the 984-foot Dali from the river and then reopen the blocked channel.

“This is one of the cathedrals of American infrastructure,” said US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “The path to normalcy will not be easy, it will not be quick, it will not be inexpensive, but we will rebuild together.”

That’s expected to accelerate a shift of cargo to the US West Coast to avoid bottlenecks from Boston to Miami. A sudden 10% to 20% increase in volumes through a port is enough to cause massive backlogs and congestion, according to Ryan Petersen, the founder and chief executive officer of Flexport Inc., a digital freight platform based in San Francisco.

Trade Hub

Traversing Maryland, meanwhile, threatens to create headaches for motorists and truckers. A trip from Edgemere heading south to Glen Burnie was about 15 miles (24 kilometers) over the bridge. It’s 20 miles via the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel. The trip will be even tougher for truckers hauling hazardous materials, which are barred from the tunnel. They’d have to travel 45 miles on the Baltimore Beltway.

The biggest hit though could be to Baltimore itself, a city of close to 600,000 people whose stagnation and high-poverty neighborhoods were made famous by television show The Wire.

The bridge helped connect major parts of Baltimore and was key to its renaissance as a logistics and e-commerce hub after the shuttering of its steel industry. With its deep-water port, shortline railway and well-located interstate highway, the city attracted investors who have been pouring money into redevelopment.

One of the largest projects, Tradepoint Atlantic, has leased millions of square feet in warehouse space to some of the world’s biggest businesses, including Amazon.com Inc. and FedEx Corp.

The local president of the International Longshoremen’s Association warned that he has 2,400 ILA members who could soon lose their jobs.

Facing months of uncertainty, Baltimore and Maryland both declared a state of emergency.

Throughout the morning on Tuesday, crowds gathered in east Baltimore County, camping out in grassy spots or climbing highway guardrails to get a better look of the bridge and snap photos. Across the street from a Dollar General on Dundalk Avenue, residents discussed the roar of the structure collapsing, comparing it to a jet engine during takeoff.

Not far from the collapsed bridge, police changed shifts at the dock of the Hard Yacht Cafe in Dundalk. Officers getting off their boat had been circling the waters as part of the rescue effort for more than 10 hours, they said, adding that divers were searching for remaining victims in the water when they left the scene.

US National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy said investigators were able to board the Dali Tuesday night to inspect the ship’s bridge, electronics and documentation.

“We do have the data record, which is essentially the ‘black box,’” Homendy said in an interview with CNN. “We’ve sent that back to our lab to evaluate and begin to develop a timeline of events that led up to the strike on the bridge.”

She added that investigators should have information from the vessel’s black box later on Wednesday.

I swear you don't even care about the answer, you just want to be "right."

Some might consider that arguing in bad faith, but I consider that a blue herring.
