> Striking during election week is kind of a crappy move to pull. Can we get a definitive list of weeks where workers’ rights are officially less important than $world_event? That way we can schedule our requests…
An ICE vehicle will always and forever run on fossil fuels. An EV may start its life getting electricity generated from fossil fuels but can get its power from whatever the generation changes to
Engineers who work 100 hour weeks at suppressed wages on tenuous visas.
The automatic stop-start system found in newer cars isn’t especially hard on the starter. These systems have reinforced bearings, faster engagement mechanisms, direct fuel injection or integrated starter generators,…
The time to start a business is in your 20s, before you have a kid. Unfortunately, China runs short of these. The largest demographic bucket is 50-54 years old. The second largest is 65-69. The 20’s are 7th and 8th……
Note that this hasn’t happened with Shazam, miraculously
Toyota set up shop in the US in 1981 because the US auto industry and unions lobbied for import restrictions. Then Congress held hearings and threatened legislation, followed by the UAW filing trade complaints. Then, in…
The status quo before fediverse-type services was the lack of existence of fediverse-type services. Therefore, the continued existence of fediverse-type services proves that the status quo is changeable. People want to…
It’s okay if loops doesn’t become the next TikTok. Not every project needs to take over the world. Alternatives are good.
I’m not a Bluesky user, but I contend that it is time to rethink success when it comes to the web. The website I am most active on has fewer than 50k active users, is limited to about that many intentionally, runs on…
The air travel industry is extremely competitive, and prices continue to fall after spiking due to the supply chain/ COVID chaos: https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/travel/travel-price-track...
Are they still pushing their crypto?
My theory is that TikTok is optimized similarly to YouTube in that it uses viewing time as a signal of interest. So, you could open TikTok, see underage people dancing, turn your phone to your spouse and say "can you…
Yes. Ex-Amazon here. The part where I horse-trade putting engineers on PIP so I can keep my UAR up -- I don't spread that to other companies because it's toxic as fuck and leads to my friends on H1Bs getting deported.
You seem to be responding to an argument I did not make. If you're interested in the claim about the exploitation of meat industry workers, here's an article about it: "The Many Costs of Cheap Chicken" [0]…
Dang, can we get a filter for RTO submissions? The discussion hasn’t changed in years. There is nothing new to say about RTO itself. If someone has insights about a particular company and their policies then fine, but…
You don’t think the camera being on a person’s face is different from them holding it in their hands?
Meta just released an internet connected camera disguised as eye wear. That makes this situation quite different. If a person wants to reject being photographed, they move away from the person holding the camera, or…

Let me ask a similar question as another user asked: what attribute do animals lack that, if a human also lacked, would justify eating a human?
I searched for a FedNow app and couldn’t find it. So, it doesn’t appear to actually exist for use by someone who just wants to send money to another person now.
People might find it necessary to complain about work when their work is physically unsafe, or they are being harassed or exploited, or they are not being fairly compensated for their work, or they are being…

The US has the most powerful navy in the world as measured by tonnage and it’s not even close [0]. What it doesn’t have, and hasn’t had for about 20 years, is a foreign policy. The US is simply disinterested in policing…
