Then allow me to annoy you more, asshole!

I feel like I should ask for insider details about what is going over there, but I'm going to focus on the bugs around the Submit button. Most of those links seem to work badly or not at all. However in this particular case I also got a notification that the topic had been front-paged when there was nothing on the front page. On one hand, I figured it must have been a slow news day in the first place to consider the story, but on the other hand, WTF?

Pretty sure it isn't funny, but here's a bit from another website. These days I write less and less in the Slashdot direction...

Not always, it depends on the situation. If you don't have stock in the company, if your boss doesn't respect you, if other companies in the region/industry are the same, then these factors weigh towards a union.

Again, it depends on the situation. If someone else is already forming a union, lending your support to it is lightweight.

Indeed, he may have better luck waiting a couple years and donating to the campaign of president Warren.

There are two rational responses to an abusive employer:

1) Leave.
2) Join a union.

Which one is best depends on the circumstances.

They're all motivated reasoning, you shouldn't take them too seriously.

That is, they start with the conclusion they want, then say whatever they think will confuse/convince you the most.

You can't patent an idea, you can only patent an implementation of an idea.

In America, that is fine.

That one is easy, it became a big enough issue that they thought it would give them cheap votes.

ok, even 30 years ago I never heard a local (or any) news station brag about harassment.

I'm still seeing problems on my Chromebook, but at least I've figured out a quicker way to get it back into a logged in status... It does seem like the thing about transferring the new password to other smartphone devices worked for one old smartphone that is still in special service. I'll learn more about that angle in my monthly update of the older smartphones, but they are in retired status anyway.

I didn't mention this part, but during the chaos period there was actually a risky period when my google account had a relatively simple "emergency" password. At that point I didn't really believe what the google was saying was going on because the focus of the discussion was supposed to be the municipal Wi-Fi network. I don't know if the wannabe attackers have any way to spot such targets of opportunity, but I sure don't like presenting one. Or maybe they can figure out some way to take advantage of the turbulence? The thing about computer security is that it's like a chain, and the attackers only need to find and break one weak link. (And it is NOT helping that the AIs probably have "routine reaction times" that are much faster than any human being's best reflexes.)

But not like Slashdot is much of a discussion forum for such things... Used to be a time when interesting insights would appear along with plenty of funny stuff. On that basis I was sort of amused when I got a notification that the submission had been accepted (on yet another slow news day?), but it appears that was some kind of false flag or squabble between the residual editors. "Nothing to see here. Move along." (I'm actually going to check the day's most active discussions for Funny, but generally feels like a waste of time to write on Slashdot... Just finished another AI book and in the middle of a related science fiction book from China, but pretty confident any reactions on Slashdot would be underwhelming.)

Sam Bankman Fried seems to lack understanding about a lot of things.

Which local TV news station brags about harassment? I've never seen a TV station brag about that.

Yes.

He doesn't have the money anymore.
