Shows it can be done, huh? Shows that when it’s not done it’s not done by choice. Shows that when it is done, it’s done to support the most iconic marketing tool of american hegemony and imperialism cosplaying as a symbol of “freedom.”

The workers who are worked to the bone, while the profit goes to the shareholders. Don’t pretend to not know how terrible Amazon treats its labor.

When those “cool things” are made through exploitation (and they are), being ok with it makes you a deplorable shithead. These are not things worth the human costs associated.

Except it’s not reasonable and they outright lied. To say they are not increasing prices but then to keep the same quality / category of service you have to pay more … is sociopath / gaslight speak for “we are raising prices.” Bei

Ahh so “we are not raising the price” becomes “if you want to keep the same quality of service thats an extra 2.99/month.” Which is capitalism speak for “we are raising the price.” Shitheads.

I use “pocketsmith” because I like the look ahead calendar view. Does this offer that? I could not see it in the demo.

How could they even tie them, with rigor? Even if I says @happydude123 is me, there is no proof. Especially so now that keybase isn’t the same anymore. I fully deny any acct. It’s spam. Stolen cloud photos. Bot. Etc. (and to be honest I

Seems like a planning problem.

Yes but a key assigned to apparatus like fire will fix that concern. We already have keys to buildings in the trucks, basically. This is no different.

Says the person who missed the point… would more money in public transportation not help your concern?

by flandish 3y ago
No-one says you cant. I just think tech $ could do better spent on public transportation.

How is it freedom? It’s being beholden to a road, a licensure, a financial burden, an environmental one, and so on… Yes, one can get into the car and drive and live “the way of the road” like Ricky’s dad on TPB but again: How is that freed

Us FD (and some police) have what we call “knox box keys” - knox is a brand. They’re locked in the apparatus, and with a pin code or radio signal I can get them unlocked and then from there unlock a little box on a building. That contains t

Why not? Public mass transit is far more efficient. The push for cars keeps car owners (in the corp and profit sense) alive. Only. Add in the pretend notion that cars equal freedom and it’s just a cycle of energy wasting nonsense. If w

Cruise does not get to decide where the amb goes. The amb does. If the amb needs the car to move, it needs to move. For ANY reason. Often with more info than the driver has. So the solution is: move. 100% of the time. Don’t clap back wi

1) it took 90s to prepare for transport before being able to move. This is fast but also standard. 2) If you are in the car, and I as a firefighter enter, I am going to announce that and your opinion doesn’t matter. I am moving it for safe

Corp robotics aside - any of this kind of tech needs to 100% have the ability to get out of the way. By robotic control. Bu human control. Or by being pushed. 90 seconds before ambulance moves is not long at all. Quite fast actually. I’ve

90 seconds is fast. It’s often longer than that. Besides safety straps, there’s leads, transfer from scoop/backboard to the full stretcher, bags, goo, more secondary vitals to take..

it would seem that profit, like life, always finds a way. Even if the way is exploitation of a system meant to provide people with driving licenses.

As a first responder (fire) - this is odd to me. Pushing a veh is completely appropriate. Especially if its empty. Stalled. Etc. Done it many times. Can be done by hand or the 30ton truck..

I worked with de-identification of records - it was not only difficult, but also rewarding. The records were used in research, tied to other biomedical data. Some of it was simply migration of encounter data +/- a date range, with rem

> typical families I think this depends on the indented audience in the metric or report. If we are just talking numbers, include all of them. If we want to focus on typical families, we need to define what that means.

> value Horseshit. It is labor who produces value, value that is directed, sold for its surplus, and earmarked for profit to the pockets of the directors. Can the CEO build the widgets? If no, then stop bootlicking for a CEO class of

The 10 year old is not a worker (hopefully) and this is what this kind of class refers to. The relationship to the means of production. They may never work a day because they don’t need to - they are upper or “bourg.” for sure.

by flandish 3y ago
Class is not salary or wealth it is position in the hierarchy of the means of production.
177.
by flandish 3y ago
Class is in no way related to salary.

by flandish 3y ago
Have seen similar. IMHO it falls under the umbrella HR created to keep us from discussing salary, too. A completely legal (US) thing employees can do.

by flandish 3y ago
This example is a stark reminder that the complaints are most often not about details but about class . The CEO was upset others were allowed to perform as if they were of the same class. It’s always class when one boils it down, imho.

You could pay to license someone, making the cost to you more but the position attractive: even with a 3 year lag. It’s not a labor shortage, it’s a business decision. Sometimes they’re tough.
