This is not true. You're completely pulling this out of your ass. Your job isn't paying less and outputting more because video games exist. When cars were introduced pay didn't suddenly stop tracking productivity.
You're working more and getting paid less than people did, 10, 20, 30 years ago... meanwhile the wealth gap has increased dramatically. Where do you think it's going? It's not hyperbole whatsoever.
This is false. I do not understand how so many people are coming in here peddling this theory with 0 sources. It doesn't even follow basic logic. You're positing that we're spending more while also earning less? Where's…
Walter You can go on and on, but you're talking about an illusion. You are literally working more and getting paid less than previous generations. It's objective data. People had cars and televisions. Your cellphone…
This ain't it chief. People are more productive than they were in the 50s and also have lower net worths. You can work less and have a constantly increasing quality of life. They aren't diametrically opposed. Your labor…
Having nearly unlimited free garbage removal is probably more than a problem than people realize. UBI means you can actually evaluate the system you live in and determine what's necessary (and then pay more for it). At…
Ah there it is. That makes a lot more sense... honestly at their scale I don't think they should be able to do this, aggregate or not. They're about 50% of all online sales in the US, where compared to brick-and-mortar,…
>Before the Journal’s report came out, Amazon had told Congress that it doesn’t access sales data to help guide the launch of its own products. This is insanely hard to believe. Amazon just started selling batteries and…
Maciej Cegłowski is a generally clever and entertaining guy. Check out his (mostly unrelated) blog too... it's very well written. https://idlewords.com/
Oh wow that's even better than analytics referrer spam.
Yeah you have to assume that if a user can input anything, someone will use it to spam. Text, photos, video, audio... literally any form of user input.
They have not fixed it. I wish I could turn off the feature entirely, but I still occasionally get Russian spam events on my calendar. They also try to notify me at ~3am (fortunately I turn notifications completely off…
A mix of politics, bureaucracy, and cost. For example, there was a fatal derailment back in 2017 in the US, and an automated safety system that may have prevented it was delayed.…
Diversity in suburbs is a very recent development. Look at the historical demographics of the suburb you probably live in. It's great that it's changing but suburbs are not a product of seeking to preserve diversity.
It's weird in our context but there's followable logic there. Being absurdly protective of the person who did the work is at least erring on the side of protection. It's not impossible to imagine a world where the…
Well of course, who can afford the rent? It's not like a little four-employee computer repair shop can show up and fill the space.
How did we slip away so far from this being fairly obvious? Cities have worked well this way for hundreds of years. Maybe the industrial revolution made cities too unpleasant? Were we too spoiled by the automobile…
I think it's hard because the bullying has been done and the law is already in their favor. This isn't a grey area case of "is it legal or not" it's a case where the IA broke the already established rules. They're…
It's troublesome, but I find it relatable if you boil things down to strong ideologies and hyperbole which is a lot of the problem with our current state of political discourse. For example, it might be your stance that…
Yeah like any legal battle it's a lot of posturing and back-and-fourth. It's just anxiety producing to not see what their survival plan is (and of course it wouldn't really benefit them to share that publicly!).
It's in their best interest to settle in a capitulating way that will hurt them but not kill them. This might have to include a public apology that admits they're in the wrong because publishers can be petty about this…
So they sent an email to their users that states: >We can assure you that your DNA information was not compromised, as GEDmatch does not store raw DNA files on the site. When you upload your data, the information is…
It's got to sting a little to use the platform you were laid off from to look for a new job. I wish everyone the best.
They don't use a GDS on the front end, but doesn't all that data feed into a GDS somewhere on the backend? I don't know much about Sabre but I know Amadeus reaches pretty far across everything.
This is like saying "stop making everything political." It's not even possible. Everything is a statement, the lack of intention can be doubly so. There are entire utilitarian schools of thought in fashion just like…
