"One respondent said they sought permission to work from home after suffering multiple strokes that prevented them from driving. Amazon suggested moving closer to the office and taking mass transit, the person said in the survey. Another respondent said they couldn't drive for longer than 15-minute intervals due to chronic pain. Amazon's recommendation was to pull over and stretch during their commute, which the employee said was unsafe since they drive on a busy freeway... Amazon didn't dispute the accounts and said it considered a range of solutions to disability accommodations, including changes to an employee's commute."

Yes, making accommodations is something the EMPLOYER has to do, not dictate to the employee that they have to make the accommodations.

This should be a slam dunk in court.

Except this is Trump's fascist America we're talking about - any more complaints and the disabled people will be getting marched to a gas oven, and I don't write that glibly.

That'll be an interesting trip to the doctor in the future.

"Your bad cholesterol is high, I need you to start knocking back 4 pints of skullsplitter every day."

So this is again a trivial application in VB pCode that was translated.

It is impressive that it worked and ran first time, and also handled the embedded resources. It isn't taking a 20+ year old multifunctional complex enterprise executable and translating it however.

The entire thing reads l like an advert for ClaudeAI.

I came here and had to scroll half-way down to see the important relevant comments.

A very poor showing.

This seems sensible - plenty of cities and stops on the route, and fast enough to compete with going by air once you factor in airport travel and wait time.

Most likely it will get canned by NIMBYs and the short-sighted. These schemes do cost a lot and that will be used to stop the project.
If it is built, it will inevitably be seen as invaluable just a few years after.

Does this mean they will start loading Google Play Services and Play Store on the next FireOS update? Not that they are great with these updates, seemingly only pushing them to slow older generation hardware down to encourage new sales.

I guess that will stop everyone sideloading them as the first action they take on these tablets.

Simple, block TCS from being able to apply for any visa of any sort for five years.

Or put a higher salary requirement on this type of visa, as they were clearly using it to get cheap workers into the country under false pretences.

Send all the workers on these visas back if they don't meet the requirements for their actual role (past year) and salary.

Computer Science is NOT solely coding. Look at the curriculums that top tier universities have such as Cambridge, MIT, etc - very wide, very varied, and giving a very deep knowledge of computer science, not just how to code in Java/C++. I had several courses on Formal Verification and similar, and learned a huge amount of CS mathematical proof systems (which has faded since of course), but that's useless for your typical programming role. However the course on Compilers did come through when I was writing custom lexers/parsers in the financial industry 15 years later.

I agree that there should be a standard for computer science that will mean the graduates are on the path for what should be a formal Software Engineer title down the line.

This extends through to those trying for mid-level or senior developers, who can't explain simple concepts. There has always been a group of devs trying their luck - sometimes they get lucky, sometimes out of those, they put in the work and fake it until they make it. Sadly a lot are abysmal.

I also don't think it's down to AI. This predated AI. It's why any sane company has a telephone interview round to ask those insulting interview questions ... and why shysters own super-silent keyboards so they can type 'how does a hashmap work in java' and 'what are the new features in java' into tabnine/copilot whilst on the phone.

I expect some level of BSery as people try to get a job, I also know that asking some questions that will never come up in the job itself is also BS of its own but you have to separate candidates somehow.

And dealing with India is another basket of cobras altogether. Professional Interview Takers! Sheesh.

Just 1000 fuel refills and 100 oil changes.

This law was passed under the right-wing Conservative government.

Upvoted despite not being British or knowing how things are in Britain.

Amazing.

Labour and Tories are polling roughly equally, this is because Labour have had to put in some tough things in the budget because the previous party, the Tories, ruined the economy over 14 years. They are polling around 26%, but this is a result of the immediate aftermath of these policies. In addition FPTP skews polls as well as elections.

Today's WASPI shutdown ruling is popular though (online and in the street, you wouldn't think it in the media or the opinion of waspiwoman395435 on X), the majority are sick of the grasping boomer generation, especially when they moan about the result of their own failure to prepare and be responsible.

Labour are in power until 2029, which is why they can do unpopular things now to get things fixed. If these things work, and result in (1) better NHS (2) lower immigration (300k) (3) lower effect of taxation at point of election, then they have a good chance. (2) got some good news today with some forecasts. If (2) is sorted, Reform will not have much leverage.

The Tory leader cannot stop putting her foot in it with almost every utterance. She will be gone within a year or two, otherwise the next election will be an easy win for Labour with Reform second.

These benefits are not unexpected.

However Musk will soon have you all working 60 hour weeks six days a week in the name of efficiency, because he and those who think like him are not in the same part of the venn diagram as those who can see the benefits of plans like this.

It's 2015's arguments all over again. Next they'll roll out the coal powered electricity memes - despite in many places coal being zero or minimally used for electricity generation now - and additionally it's emissions at the point of use that are a big problem for NO2 and so on.

Well I hope the full cost of this falls to AT&T.

In the UK the law is that until a parcel is in your hands, it is not delivered.

Oddly enough as a result signature AND per-delivery pin-code are required by phone companies over here delivering mobile phones.

(and a lot of other things).
