Not surprising in the least. The NLRB has no current regulations on the books governing how long a new union can be delayed during the initial bargaining process. There's been talk in Washington related to updating NLRB regulations to impose time lines on employers and unions to encourage swift completion of collective bargaining where no contract exists. So far as I know, nothing has changed yet. Amazon is on the forefront of abusing the negotiation process and ignoring all possible ULP complaints.

Depending on where you dispose of said filter, all that plastic might wind up back in the water supply along with some new contaminants.

Thought so.

Did Amazon charge a fuel surcharge in 2023?

Nice. Filtering that stuff out is going to be quite a challenge, though.

It would also probably be less costly than starting a legal fight over license violations.

You raise some legitimate points about file format compatibility.

Do you have any particular feelings about Euro-Office or potential license violations? So far you haven't engaged with the summary at all. Otherwise this move would/should be happening anyway. MS and Google can both be a huge pita no matter who is President, and freeing yourself from their grip should be seen as a desirable move no matter where you live.

Just a guess but it seems like the Euro-Office team is keen on violating a license or two, and perhaps they found it easier/simpler to violate the OnlyOffice license.

It's actually not a bad idea. Centralized databases are prone to security breaches. Having your credentials in an encrypted ipfs store somewhere could be more secure if it's only accessible through a token on a blockchain.

That being said, there's no way anyone knows what you've actually put on the ipfs store if the entire contents aren't being exposed during the age check. You could put any old ID you wanted in there.

That or the DoD is paying better than Sora ever would.

Madoff lasted maybe 25 years before his operation collapsed in 2008. Bitcoin has lasted 17. Think it'll make it for another decade?

The principle problem with humans is that they're completely unreliable, due to basic design.

OpenAI has struggled to drive revenue. Any cash generation on their books is going to be seen as newsworthy. It's probably not enough to cover their expenses, but it may be enough for them to increase their debt exposure or attract more investors.

For now.
