Yep. See the players unions in any sport. Hard to argue those players aren't skilled.

If Uber tech workers organized, they'd have a larger voice to support the drivers if that's what they decided to bargain over. And yes, it's common for unions to fight for expanding the union workforce at their company. These

Some issues are across the industry. In a union, you get to decide what you and your coworkers want to bargain about. It's just organizing coworkers so you have a bigger ability to change things than you'd have all alone.

I hope this doesn't stay downvoted, because it best reflects the sad state of labor law. The MOST they'd get is back-pay if Google loses. But truthfully, most people have to find another job when they lose their job, so that new p

Putting the specifics of the Away memo aside, the laws regarding policing employee speech are actually more complicated than Gruber seems to understand. See this NLRB decision for a fuller understanding of the complexities: https:/&#x

People are dismissing your response, but nobody is addressing your key point that an always-listening phone is far more of a privacy threat than an Echo. And that the Echo doesn't add THAT much more of a threat if you've got a pho

I'm not sure how the lesson (if any is intended) applies to some of these. For example, YouTube started as a dating site. I genuinely don't know enough about the history of the website: is it that they had a decent dating website

I don't think anybody is pro or con "regulation" in the abstract. People disagree over whether specific regulations are good or bad. Example: I live in DC and there's been recent controversy with the Historic Preservatio

I think what OP said is pretty clearly correct. If you find a data point contradicting it, please share, but eyeballing what I think it'd be even per capita, I think OP is still right. If you chose a different data point than 10 years,

You can't retaliate against employees for speaking out publicly and expect no consequences, either. This is going to hurt Google -- in the public eye and with its workforce.

Maybe it's my fault if I didn't explain it well enough, but you don't seem to understand the point I'm making. What I was responding to wasn't whether Google was right or wrong (though I think they're wrong), b

How much space is going unused? I vaguely remember something back in 2013 about nonprofit groups having a small window to apply for community FM radio stations. But I assume there hasn't been a window since then. Is that because there&

Some people don't subscribe to your belief that rather than improve your workplace you should just leave. Google created a culture and set of values and recruited based on that. So of course they shouldn't be surprised when the pe

People think worker organizing is a sign of worker discontent. Sometimes it is. But mostly it's a sign of worker energy. It's a sign that people care about improving their workplace and care a ton about what their company stands f

I had no idea what you comment meant, then I realized I misspelled "rogue." I can't tell if you were joking or actually thought I was referring to cosmetics, but either way, oops my bad.

To be clear, you're in FAVOR of their policy that doesn't allow a rouge actor to, say, run ads targeted to a specific community that tell them Election Day is Wednesday, rather than Tuesday, right? You're just opposed to the

I mostly think of it as the emoji bar. It's genuinely useful for people (pros and non-pros) who type a lot of emojis to have them on the keyboard. But it's certainly not specifically a pro feature, I agree 100%. Apple probably has

Any FOIA experts here? I wonder why FOIAs aren't posted online for all to see and are instead just sent to the requestor? It seems lots of people are interested in the same information -- and once it's been vetted, putting all tho

Is this low for open source projects? I mean, I'd imagine it's low compared to WordPress.org -- but compared to other projects of its size this doesn't seem low to me.

Is this true for same-sex couples, too? (Meaning, for example, that two gay men will on average have more positive attitudes towards ex-partners than two women, on average?)

My understanding is that they have ways of discovering when something breaks beyond the user having to file a report. But I agree that Apple is terrible when it comes to communicating back to people about what they file. It doesn't hap

Great observation, but the analysis here seems wrong to me. If you took the median income of people between 45 and 60, I bet people here would STILL be shocked at how low it is. The reason isn't a lack of taking life stage into consi

Thank you for that correction. I had taken what Google spits out in that top box and didn't bother to look at the date of the article they were scraping from. Overall point remains, but accuracy matters.

Median household income in NYC is $57,782. (Individual is $50,825.) And yeah, NYC is a huge, diverse city but even Manhattan's median income is $79,781 in 2017. (Corrected figure)
