Oh there’s plenty of analysis. What you witnessed was marketing .. cognitive dissidence at the corp level pushed down to the lowest as “gee we are trying to hire!” Pay more. Get more. That is the only solution. Strikes also help. Well.

When profits and shareholder benefits fall because corps are paying higher wages, that’s when workers will return.

The product shortages are due to piss poor profit centric “just in time” inventory schemes. Corporations failing are always corporations fault. This marketing that redirects blame onto “inflation”(a gov failure) or “people being at home” o

I (op) was just amazed at how much is out there, how this shows what we have yet to even know, let alone “look out for” etc. Was a comment on scale nothing else.

Oh for sure. No anxiety at all. Just so NEAT that there is so much out there.

The alternative to capitalism is not socialism, but I understand where you are coming from. I believe the kind of character(capital owner) utilizing the current system is going to be best tuned to exploit; a process made easiest (in regards

Part of the exploitation process, imho inherent to capitalism, involved a migration from your “tip to good service” to “opportunity to save” (money) by the owners. I am, admittedly, a leftist and incredibly untrusting of anything where work

It should be law that “recovery” fees, for a service as critical to infrastructure, be tax deductible as charity/donation. If Eversource fucked up and didnt have enough resource to deal with a storm, and the state paid with our taxes t

Truthfully, while it IS well established, this is only because the class of “owners” have beaten it into us (workers/consumers) and it is a great example of capitalism gaslighting more exploitation.

I’ve been noodling around this thought that businesses that provide “necessary for life and health” services (power, food, housing, healthcare, and tech) should not be allowed to make more than X profit year over year, provide bonus to C le

It’s actually “hold your phone in a gripper dash mount” position. Sure a nominal place is not on a button but an accidental one sure will be. Toss your phone into the gripper mount in wrong way, start car, get out scrape ice and snow for f

You would have to fight to say it’s hardly your fault, in my experience.

Unless the cohort of AI/FSD cars are sharing vehicle health/telemetry and know when another is “about” to have a blowout, I posit a rear end can still happen. Yes brakes will apply sooner and follow distance is likely to be safe

All drivers should drive with the assumption the person in front of them will, at some point, instantly turn into a wall like a Wile E Coyote drawing of a mountainside cave.

The byproduct of the migration of the modern automobile into a rolling living room will, no doubt, result in people driving who should not. I don’t mean to sound like a “standard shift get off my lawn and into a jeep” old man but… Yes, it’

Until we do get a union, a formal union, there’s always the IWW to help practice and train your “organization” skills, get to know others in the space, and learn that it’s a really tough war to fight. I would join an engineering union in a

The basic logic is nonsense, and scary, and quite authoritarian: Fight a bad warrant now and risk getting shot, or let them do potentially illegal things in your private space, take all your assets, and with a magical pile of money you have

Interesting take. Can we consider contract labor a “layoff”? Wouldn’t they try to “look better” (like they are not laying off) by not considering “closed contract” not the same as “layoff”? Wouldn’t the contracted firm be doing the layoff

My point was that the Tonkin incident was reported incorrectly and did not match fact ; as we found out some decades later. Tying that to this thread: why is what’s reported about the airlines taken to be fact? (And I’m not speaking as i

I am not sure of your experience or industry but while it is true customers/users don’t see code, they most *certainly* see documentation. In the form of “help->about” or user manuals, websites, or call center interaction. When I sa

Why do you assume I am American? Or are you speaking generally? “We” don’t know the causes, only what was reported. I’ve worked on a lot of old systems needing to be updated, migrated, or sunset. For sure it’s 99% of the time due to managem

You’re thinking in a silo’d/tunnel vision manner. Consider different audiences. Devs, customer/user, support, sales. Yes, api definitions are in code, but what our customers see is just as valuable. If it’s not what they want, an
