I agree with you that there was really great work done at BuzzFeed News and find people's dismissiveness to be based on unfamiliarity with a lot of what they've done. I use the past tense only because of the mass layoffs and other

It's worse than this suggests. If they couldn't provide an estimate because unexpected things happen and they can't predict all services that will be required, that'd be one thing. But they can't even provide a list

I found this interesting: >> The CCRB receives thousands of complaints every year, but it is only able to substantiate a tiny fraction of them. In 2018, the agency examined about 3,000 allegations of misuse of force. It substantiated

I took a list at who on my follow list is checkmarked and besides a few friends, it's mostly reporters. So here's a related but separate point: Something I often do, when I want to retweet a news article in my feed, is find the re

>> Separate the man from the accomplishments. I think this is mostly good advice. However, the company does intentionally market him as the face of the company -- so it's hard to fault people for disliking the company due to the

She never said that "management should tell" employees anything. It's intentionally vague and not at all clear the NYT didn't take that action, if the story is even totally true, and it's just an open-ended legal th

There's little evidence this is the case. This post could be summarized in one sentence: Bari Weiss wanted people fired because they called her names and the NYT refused, so she quit and threatened legal action.

It's hard to know what would have happened if Shepard Fairey hadn't gotten caught destroying documents, and we don't know the specifics of all of the settlement, but I think it's fair to say he lost that case. https:&#x

Not every app maker WANTS to store this user data. Some makers just want things to work and to keep the process as simple as possible for the user.

Is there a link to read this anywhere? The one I found in the article was broken. There's really no way to evaluate this argument on the basis of this article. Do we need to wait until it's published tomorrow?

Just to correct the record, the Mozilla guy controversy seems like it was about Prop 8 and that they were worried they were losing users due to the controversy. Here was Obama's position on prop 8: https://www.newyorker.com&

The only solution is labor unions. You need a CONTRACT that determines what happens when a company wants to discipline or fire an employee. So firing is still possible, but it's a process that's negotiated and agreed to beforehand

Self-hosting ghost.org may be a better solution, given their recent email and membership features. Could also use the substation theme: https://substation.rdnthemes.com

I work in labor. I've seen incredible things happen when workers bravely take risks in collective action. These are some of the most underpaid workers in America.

I'm also not a lawyer, but as somebody who works in labor -- no, it doesn't have to be about "unions." It can absolutely be about working conditions, if they're in discussions with their coworkers. You're going

I agree with the general point, but I'd add that there's additional power in collective action, but that's of course harder to organize than a legal challenge. And also that people (both management and not) are also just unaw

NLRA covers protected concerted activity at the national level. Whether this speech falls into that, or whether these employees are covered under the NLRA, I don't think we have the specifics for. But there are more worker protections

This, to me, is the key sentence: > They believe they received the notifications for speaking up about their concerns with working conditions at the plant. The conversation so far here seems focused on them not showing up after being tol

Florida also claims credit because of John Gorrie. In fact, in Congress each state contributes two statues to the National Statuary Hall Collection. One of Florida's is of John Gorrie -- that's how much state pride is taken in it.
