RW media and the POTUS himself is making the dubious claim that DEI practices are responsible for low standards of hiring for air traffic controllers in the FAA during the Biden presidency. I don't think POTUS was serious because he al

I think it's funny that OpenAI wants us to pay them to use their product to generate content but then sets the terms that they control how we use the content in generates for us. It takes someone like Deepseek to challenge that on our

According to the people I work with, all they care about is kids in cages. They value “tough talk” on immigration above anything else. Being influenced by Russia or China don’t even register.

My org may be more lenient than I understand it to be, mainly I don't know what if any consequences there are if I do WFH while sick/recovering/contagious and am only in the office twice in a week.

This is such corporate welfare BS. I especially don’t get it for tech companies whose employees eat lunch on campus. With big tech, I think it has more to do with real estate holdings being part of the portfolio and they would have to write

We have to be in n the office 3-days so if I WFH because sick, I would have to badge in Friday. This is foolish so I take a sick day if I’m not going into the office.

So you think they are scrapping a year-old phone after paying you $500? I think they replace the battery and resell it as refurbished.

I don't think paying inflated prices for more expensive inputs while keeping the same retail price is good business, I wish it were because everything has gone up. Other than the camera button, Apple focused on features enabled by the

I don't even think it's a question anymore, they opted out of new features on non-European handsets. Gemini is probably already on Nokia phones for all we know.

Customers refusing to pay inflated prices and suppliers losing business from closed retailers is exactly how markets regulate pricing. I'm sorry for the disruption to the people displaced but not every single restaurant is entitled to

What's demoralizing is employers aren't motivated to fill the listed open positions and the only thing real and worth our time is our present, paying job. It's understandable, it costs nothing to list an opening and costs a l

It seems like the employers have a lot to gain by spreading the fear of a recession to make the job market to be more favorable to them. Didn't the Treasury secretary quip “The enemy keeps postponing when the recession’s going to come.
