“Manage to live”? Is that the standard for the richest country in the history of humanity? That’s some short sighted thinking. Are those “managing to live” saving for retirement? Can they see a doctor? Can they afford…
Just grab a bottle of 5HTP from your local upscale supermarket and you’ll be fine.
“EV sales” includes plug in hybrids. I’m a big proponent of plug in hybrids as a good transition vehicle for those not willing / able to to full EV, but they should be reported separately.
Absolutely right. The fact that it even got a full trial shows there are legal questions here.
> You can't sue someone for mimicking someone else's voice well enough to be confused for the mimicked creator's voice. Some people can do some voices quite well. Oh you most certainly can. In fact, you can sue someone…
They were able to rebuild… because the US funded it. The Marshall Plan, also known as the European Recovery Program, was a U.S. program providing aid to Western Europe following the devastation of World War II. It was…
The EU is pushing for (has already ratified?) rules against even pre-installing Apple apps, or at least making it easy to remove them. I’m certain that Apple, who sells their phones directly, will be able to keep the…
It seems like everyone in these discussions sees only two worlds: lawless hellscape of intrusive, data-stealing apps that permit freedom or “walled garden” of good apps that restrict it and users’ freedom. The truth, as…
There is an entire genre (vaporwave) that is rooted in sampling stuff like this. It’s a treasure trove.
Well, being the only country left with any manufacturing after a catastrophic world war is one major reason. Also, navigable waterways. Transporting goods by water costs 1/100th what it costs to transport over land.…
Not if they are totalitarian and have plans to invade a sovereign nation it borders. You cannot ignore the values of these states in this discussion.
Many eyes have been batted over Russia’s erratic leadership. One one extended instance was called The Cold War. As for China, if you can’t hear the war drums being beat over the threat to Taiwan, get your hearing…
I’m a huge EV fan. My family has owned four over the past 6 years. That pedigree out of the way, I’ll give my cynical take: this will get rolled back by President DeSantis in a hot fucking minute.
They are lending their brand to Bookshop.org, which profits also from selling books (that’s how they can afford to stay in business). I’m a big fan of Bookshop. I just wish they could break into the DRM free epub…
The Rosenhan experiment is now widely believed to have been a hoax.
A new plant costs like $10B. We could build 8 of them if we got back what was stolen from the Paycheck Protection Program.
How do you know the union workers wont get those benefits if a contract hasn’t been signed?
>There is nothing stopping companies from offering the same benefits to union employees that non-union employees are getting. Sure, but it could be construed as promising benefits to employees to discourage their union…
> refuses to negotiate afterwards Refusing to negotiate is illegal, the NLRB has ruled on that in the Starbucks case.
Is there an update to this story? The story doesn’t cite what law the NLRB claimed was violated, only that doing what starbucks did interfered with their ability to organize. The final paragraph mentions that the case…
It’s not like we can run an A/B on the benefits for every employee and every company, but I can speak for one particular industry and one company during one particular point in time: automobile manufacturing and Toyota.…
> How many books would exist if authors were never paid? Authorship is centuries older than the modern copyright regime we suffer under. You present a false dichotomy.
Globalization is over. The US has no interest in securing the shipping lanes apart from ones strategically vital to certain goods that can’t yet be made locally. The US has a decent demographic profile and an amazing…
And yet iOS lives rent free in your head.
Beginning with the RIAA suing college kids and culminating the French police raiding what.cd, I have become anti-copyright. Not reformist, not 'but it's good for...'. Totally anti-copyright. Burn it all down. Share…
