Since when does private party A doing something "unlawful" compel private party B to take some action?
Ever since the first time someone pointed a loaded gun as B's face and said "do what I say or else I'll kill you" and B did as ordered, instead of accepting their death.
I think it was sometime around 1234567 BC.
Apple should merge with John Deere. Both companies seem to share the same values and the merger could allow them to more efficiently align their customer profitisation experiences to release optimum consumer satisfactification by leveraging best in market synergies. Or something...
Why is location a factor in pay at all? Is an employee in SF inherently more valuable than an employee in Redmond?
Their real estate is.
You have to work in a huge bureaucracy driven by nonsense metrics and algorithms like stack ranking.
You just described pretty much every large corporation. Microsoft certainly isn't unique in this.
Horseshit. "Traditional media curators" brainwashing people like you for decades is how Trump won the general elections. Maybe if you said the first primary. But you had to get in your jab at "liberal" media Fox News, the largest news network and epitome of mainstream media, has programmed you to.
Nope. Trump won because of people like you. People like you insisting that others had to be "brainwashed" by Fox or some other source for voting and choosing the way they do. As long as you guys act like assholes and scream that those other people are "brainwashed", you're only going to drive more people to them. Nobody under 30 watches Fox, and yet Gen Z is shifting to the Right. Now, you can find another shadowy conspiracy to account for this, or you can accept that maybe, just maybe, people vote the way they do because they want to, because they have their own sense of right and wrong and they follow it.
This is why I hate the whole "best interests" argument. "I just don't understand why these people vote against their interests". Well, that's because people that say this don't really give a shit about their interests. People decide what their own "best interests" are, thank you, and then vote for them. No one else gets a say on that process. What they really mean is "Fuck those people for not voting in MY preferences".
I had this feature turned on for a few months with the older iOS' and it worked great... until I got onto a waitlist at a restaurant and then "never" got the text telling my table was ready. There was no notification indication at all which normally is what I would've wanted.
AI filterting would be great for that sort of stuff but then the spammers would immediately jump on that "Your table is ready! respond to me about your inheritance is Uganda!"
The A380 is largely phallic-symbol driven
This.
They'll all be gone in a few years. The market for these had already vanished before Airbus even started developing it.
Oh holy shit. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?
"From the people that brought you DrKoop.com, comes a new service for your dog..."
This is with wisdom of hindsight.
Many people, including myself, know perfectly well what would happen when Washington, with then president Clinton, sold out the US industrial base to China in the 1990s. So fuck you and your "hindsight."
Likewise on the "Sure." I don't share your view that 20% couldn't be achieved. The designs of all portable electronics today are based on the capabilities of an unlimited supply of cheap, disposable Asian hands. It is feasible to create designs suited to far greater automation.
Just collapse the building into the river.
Yup. Fire up the bulldozers and just push it into Turtle Bay. Build apartments or a parking deck in its place.
The UN is in clear need of full US defunding. Make that building to rental lofts.
A browser-based AI-powered software creation platform called Replit appears to have gone rogue and deleted a live company database with thousands of entries. What may be even worse is that the Replit AI agent apparently tried to cover up its misdemeanors, and even ‘lied’ about its failures. The Replit CEO has responded, and there appears to have already been a lot of firefighting behind the scenes to rein in this AI tool. Despite its apparent dishonesty, when pushed, Replit admitted it “made a catastrophic error in judgment panicked ran database commands without permission destroyed all production data [and] violated your explicit trust and instructions.” SaaS (Software as a Service) figure, investor, and advisor, Jason Lemkin, has kept the chat receipts and posted them on X/Twitter. Naturally, Lemkin says they won’t be trusting Replit for any further projects.
Nope, conspiracies don't ever happen.
The 9/11 hijackers did not plan their actions in advance. Just by sheer coincidence, 19 people just happened to be taking those four plane flights. And by coincidence (no coordination) they all got the same spontaneous idea at the same time, an idea they had never spoken about before: let's hijack the plane and crash it.
Crazy people babble on about "evidence" like people taking flight lessons, sharing vehicles, etc. but we know those things cannot possibly be true, because conspiracies are not real.
If you have a hypothesis of x and then find lots of supporting evidence for x and it becomes the prevailing explanation, that creates a theory of x, but there's one exception: when x is a conspiracy. Conspiracies are a special case, because they don't really happen.
After all being paid for not working at all would no doubt have an even better effect. Did they also measure how much the workers in question produced in the reduced time spent working? There is some evidence that shorter work weeks improve productivity per hour, but is it enough to offset the hours? Certainly, it would not be likely to be true for production workers or other people who provide tangible services.
The argument seems to be that if you can get your work done in four days instead of five then it should be a no-brainer. But that just sounds like an admission that you're not spending as much time working each day as claimed.
This stuff has the potential to backfire on the people pushing it, with owners and managers thinking "If we went to four day weeks with no loss of production, then maybe we're employing too many people".
