The article doesn't include any boycott statements for other countries, are the German workers calling for one? The US strike looks like a flop, with less than 100 protesting and (according to Amazon), only 15 people striking [1]. 1.

Heads up, the union organizing behind the UK strike doesn't want a boycott. > Still, the GMB isn’t calling on customers to boycott the online retailer during Prime Day. “We’re not calling for economic damage for Amazon,” Mick Rix, a

Thank you for clarifying. Is it possible the data brokers themselves are buying the update and then selling it onward then? During my last move I received a boat load of direct marketing mail after my COA but before I updated any other acco

The USPS sells address updates in bulk for marketing purposes, and they are federally regulated.

I don't quite understand how her "physical toll" is any greater than other computer workers, other than she now does her work in bed. It's certainly a lighter load than any labor or trade job, so that part of the article

This tax is on sales and not profits, so won't it just become another line on the bill for French consumers? I imagine they'll just break it separately from VAT. Retroactively they'll have to eat the cost though.

This reads like it was written by their PR firm, light on details and high on marketing fluff and hype. Most of the author’s lastest articles look like fed submarines to me.

They are using mysql innodb as a NoSQL store with fast replication instead of as a conventional database. They even call it "Schemaless".

The only private railroad in the country opened a few years ago in South Florida, and is expanding from Miami to Orlando in a few years. Hopefully more will spring up around the country, but I'm not holding my breath. Florida is ideal

This is my view too. Projects like CA's HSR poison the well for public transport across the country. The process is so bloated, corrupt, and fundamentally broken it's easier to pin your hopes on future tech.

Would the owner bounce their significant other for that behavior? Their sibling or close friend? Would they give more chances to those they favor and less to those they dislike? No one expects the owner to be truly impartial in that scenari

It sounds like your chess club owner would be acting as a benevolent dictator, deciding the rules and punishment after the fact. Works well enough as long as he remains benevolent. Wikimedia simply promised to be better than that. The ban i

I think the issue is the community used to have a say in these bans, and that’s why ArbCom exists. Now ArbCom is a bit irrelevant, the Foundation decides guilt in secret and hands out punishment as they see fit.

Same reason I left after years of paying, they later backtracked but I’d moved on and don’t really trust they won’t do similar again.

I think accepting the case and establishing precedence that is it not the role of the court to solve this problem is better than letting it fester. California was gerrymandered to the extreme and it took two ballots directly to the people t

One example is decriminalizing possession of heroin / crack, which makes it far easier and safer for dealers (who can hold below the limits and resupply frequently), which then increases the availability and drives down the price (less

You didn't have "bad credit" you just had a thin file. Your score went up quickly because it was all positive indicators. I was in the same boat, never bothered with a credit card or took a car loan (bought used in cash), and

I think relying on the discretion of a bank manager / individuals is apt to be far more biased and unfair than credit score is. I do agree it's kind of scary how far and wide these scores affect you.

It might feel good to do that, but you’d be putting tens of thousands out of work, and handing the industry over to Airbus, which last I read, had an ever so slightly worse safety record (though both are quite good). That’s bad for cost and

Sending teams to fix problems ahead of inspectors is a strange charge, I wish they provided more detail on that. Self policing and fixing problems is exactly what corporate should have been doing.
