Company unions aren't permitted. But there's an element of this approach in the most recent approaches to undermining unions, where companies create groups for worker voices including ESG and DEI initiatives. I'm not saying c

This is actually the same union that Starbucks workers are organizing with -- Workers United, which is an SEIU affiliate. I wonder if the Starbucks workers in Buffalo are helping this group of workers out. Also, here's what their websi

In an incognito window, I googled: mcdonalds yelp dc 1.5 stars, 2.5 stars, 1 star, 1.5 stars, 2 stars, 2 stars, 2 stars, etc... And this is maybe the most popular and beloved fast food restaurant in the world!

In my particular neighborhood in DC, I’m not even sure ANY restaurants have been reviewed. And when I travel, your approach is certainly not a reliable way to get a sense of what’s near me.

Actually yelp is great? An obvious difference is you can see photos of food and decide for yourself how it looks -- so I'm not so much defending Glassdoor (which I don't use) as I am defending yelp. As far as yelp reviews, you can

I totally understand why you would "lol" at the idea of a tax credit lessening inflation. However, in this case it did actually cause a car company to reduce prices, so it's probably the biggest counterexample I've ever

I'll share my idea, for Messages in iOS. When you long press a message, you get a menu with Reply, Copy, Translate. I'd like to add "bookmark" to that list. How to then access that list of bookmarked messages? When you c

It's both self-interested and hypocritical, in my view. "Weird" was a reflection of the sarcasm of the comment.

How about faulting him for his pro-China tweets -- praising China for having zero domestic COVID cases; calling on Taipei to hand over some control of Taiwan to China. Meanwhile, seeking favorable treatment from China's government. I d

Link? I will edit if so. I have found some pro-China tweets from Musk, but that's it.

Yes, I am joking. I'm aware of the record China sales for Tesla. Of his expressed pro-China views. Of his favorable treatment by the government there. Etc.

That does not stop him from speaking out about it, thankfully. I hope to see him doing so soon. I don't expect that his work with Tesla will stop him, given his views on free speech.

I remember in Hong Kong that protesters used a bluetooth app (Bridgefy and maybe others) to communicate.

Speaking of twitter, it's weird Musk hasn't commented yet on the protests in China. Looking forward to him taking on censorship and standing for free speech around the globe, particularly in China.

This is all speculation about what they could announce -- even most of the items in (1). You could always re-evaluate if these things come to pass. Once this initial plan rolls out, whether the check itself continues to hold value once it&#

If you’re evaluating value, it’s helpful to think about it in those crude terms. If you’re likely to get, say, 4-5 new followers a month from the increased impressions then I think this is good value as an ad product. Part of your point, no

I’m an advertiser and I think you understate how ad platforms incentivize quality content (via quality scores that affect price) and overstate how this twitter blue proposal would do so. Also you greatly simplify how current advertising wor

So you start a t-shirt business online, and you can only advertise in those places instead of Instagram? Seems bad for the business. Would be very profitable for tv stations, though! And we'd see a ton more billboards covering everythi

I'd be interested in helping scrape, but no experience. I'd presume every county is different so there's no simple training you can put folks through? Other tasks, like monitoring for things breaking?
