"In-person collaboration is absolutely vital to building and strengthening our culture and driving the success of our business. Being together helps us innovate, solve problems, share ideas, create, challenge one another, and build the relationships that will make this company great."
They've been fine working from home since COVID, for years, and now somehow it's absolutely vital?
It is absolutely vital that collaboration of a quality seemingly not achievable when remote occur in their companies. Of course, this ideal never happened in these companies before COVID, hasn't happened since RTO, and seldom happens anywhere. But it is vital that employee happiness not interfere with this hypothetical possibility.
Given those constraints, one can't say much that is interesting. And, there is still a feeling that one must be seen so write rubbish they think is inoffensive enough to not them in the trouble. Glassdoor keeps posters anonymous. As a result, even though it is still a job board, the posts and comments are a lot more provocative and interesting.
I never liked flip phones back in the day either. So much more inconvenient than a "bar" phone.
The big selling point (apart from size) for flip phones back in the day was durability. When the phone we folded, the screen was protected. No Gorilla Glass back then so bar phones took a beating.
To me, "folding phones" are just flip phones. I don't see any reason to find a new term for something that's essentially the same.
Because they aren't the same, especially in how they relate to the issue at hand. Phones with folding screens have a problem with dust. Some of which are being called "flip phones" and some that are not. Meanwhile old school flip phones, which are still around, are immune. Saying "flip phones" have a dust problem is at best confusing.
I had a "for sale" subboard on my Commodore 64 Color 64 BBS in 1985. Later, there were dozens upon dozens of forsale boards on Usenet as well.
Sure. But these foresale boards had quite limited distribution. If you really wanted to buy or sell locally you needed to go where the masses were. That was not BBS's or Usenet. Craigslist appealed to the masses and came at a time when the masses had access.
What does it mean to purchase 200 Megawatts? Do they get 200MW indefinitely?
Also, since the energy doesn't exist yet, does the payment either? Or is Google just committing to purchase this much when it becomes available?
They hire to meet demand. And if AI starts taking jobs, which every CEO is saying AI is exactly doing that, then there will be fewer people with money to buy things and demand will go down.
Except we all know AI isn't doing exactly that. I can see Accenture having a role in bailing out companies that already laid off their staff because AI only to discover that AI isn't enough. But they don't want to rehire because that is embarrassing and because CEOs are sure that the next AI effort will truly replace their staff for real.
Ok. So Honda is learning how to land rockets vertically. That's a useful skill, albeit hardly unique. It isn't remotely to the level of launching payloads into orbit. But, gotta learn to crawl first, right? The "reusable" bit is hyperbola. No further than the rocket went and given that it is just a test vehicle, it better be reusable. I look forward to seeing further progress. It will be quite a while before they can compete with SpaceX or even Blue Origin but this is an area where having more players is good.
Air is water with holes in it.
