Almost all our agriculture AND aquaculture are ecological monstrosities because we don't make the producers pay for externalities.

Plus, if the waste is someone's pet project or initiative, you might get into trouble if you imply they had poor judgement in green lighting it.

The DOL has investigated this numerous times, and while you're correct in what the law generally states, the majority of employers screw their "tipped" employees over time and again. Having worked in both fast-food and fine-d

I have never known anyone to tip their mechanic. The only places tipping was the norm growing up was waitstaff/bartenders, doormen, and haircutters/stylists. Maybe this is a West Coast or Midwest thing, but the idea of tipping my

The idea that Kaepernick wasn't better than Gabbert, nor starter quality for at least 50% of the NFL at the time doesn't hold water.

When my "genius" boss first heard about ChatGPT etc., he was convinced that this would end up replacing all the developers in our org. I told him that the more likely COA was that it would replace all the middle managers who just

I'm not sure that fits. I find writing extremely easy, and most of my colleagues and friends hate writing and are poor writers. All of the good writers/authors I know find writing easy. It's still work, but it's not ditc

Writing well is difficult for many, and I believe one of the reasons is because people don't read much anymore. Whether it's fiction, non-fiction, or poetry doesn't matter, as long as you read. But our attention spans have be

Workers had little mobility or options, that's why they stuck around forever (that and pensions).

"Surely we'll see powerful new products and innovations in the coming months and years." When was the last time FB/Meta released something that qualifies? As opposed to acquiring a company? It's a one-trick pony, li

Haha, "inflation beating pay raise." Our VP of HR said "If we were to give you raises when inflation goes up, we'd have to cut your salary when it goes down." Bitch, when was the last time we had significant deflati

Modern society isn't some Mendelian pea experiment. And using the "one could argue" trope is really not helpful and could be construed as incendiary...

"Teams glue easier when working physical (sic) together." You can't state this as a fact. My company has two main offices. Two of the other SREs I work with are in a different office/state. We're as tight as can be.

They should base it on their gut feelings. The same gut feelings that led them to over-hire for the last two years. These "leaders" are clowns with no true leadership skills.

You would be surprised that Amazon would make a decision based on anything but facts? Measuring productivity, especially for office workers is extremely difficult except in gross terms. You mention these "issues" that they've

In a perfect world, this would be the case. Just as in a perfect world, no one would store un-hashed passwords.

A company with galaxy brained individuals and visionaries should be able to allow workers to have bathroom breaks, and not be threatened by a union. The idea that you really believe this is an issue really shows how tasty the koolaid is.

You should look up either Stockholm Syndrome or Battered Wife Syndrome. Union members hold the union leadership responsible for the actions of the union through elections.

I agree with everything you wrote, but I don't think Apple will be releasing an AR headset within 3 years. A VR headset? Sure, but AR is much more challenging.

I think that AR will be much more impactful than VR, but I also think it's further away.

School hours are set by tradition. My city provides no bus service to any students (excepting special needs kids). Crazy I know. Kids can ride the city metro buses for free, but those aren't the same as school buses.

A munition with a fuse is nothing terrorists etc would want. There's no way to know when it would explode, nor any way to control it.

I like the fact that it produces something tangible and (hopefully) long lasting. None of the systems I've set up between 2000-2015 are still alive; so much time and effort lost.

It's incumbent on the employer to provide evidence to the UI board proving their case.
