It's crazy to me that the phone hasn't locked automatically. Do people really walk around with their phones set to never lock and turn the screen off? Mine times out after 5 minutes.

Nobody deserves anything. That implies some kind of cosmic force or entity that is keeping track of who does what and enforcing some kind of justice. People get what they figure out how to get and they keep it as long as they figure out how

Oh my god, thank you! This has been a constant minor annoyance to me since switching to a Mac. I always use Notepad as a kind of extended clipboard on Windows.

I never claimed that the case is invalid on its face or I know more about this than the lawyers. It's worth noting that the NLRB is not some disinterested third party who is only trying to find the objective truth. They are an advocate

I'm not disputing that they were fired for the letter, I'm disputing that the letter is a protected discussion of workplace conditions.

I'm not misrepresenting what you said, I'm refuting it. You established a chain of logic like so: If something affects the share price, then it is relevant to business operations Musk's tweets affect the share pri

I kinda think "workplace conditions" would mean, you know, the conditions in which you do your work, like the physical environment where you are working. If the safety straps are old and frayed or the air conditioning in the offic

I think the question is whether the boss's personal social media account is part of their workplace conditions. A safety strap is definitely a part of the work place. If your job is not social media manager and you don't work at T

8 out of 13,000 employees wanted to circulate a letter complaining about Musk's tweets and the Labor board claims they were "illegally" fired over this. Which law specifically requires employers to permit every employee to sp

Nobody cares about being "extremely greedy" if the company succeeds. If the "extremely greedy" CEO negotiates hard on the company's behalf and gets price concessions from vendors and drives high profits, nobody is g

Having the leverage to negotiate high compensation means you also have the leverage to negotiate limited downside. If they were the kind of person who wasn't savvy enough to negotiate well for themselves, would you want them negotiatin

More responsibility. CEOs will be responsible for decisions that could make or break the company. Regular employees generally don't have to worry that something they do might cause the entire company to go out of business and lose ever

If you could take a copy of the car, leaving the original at the dealership, and the likelihood of experiencing any penalty were the same as pirating a movie, yes you would. Nice false analogy though. If it were possible to make infinite pe

I pay for four different streaming services. If it's not on one of those, I'm going to pirate it. Also, since I live outside the US various services won't even let me give them money if I wanted to. I assume they are then ok

The podcast, no. But if a comment is going to offer a link with the conceit of “consume this to fully understand who this person was” it would be good if the source were not something with the explicitly stated thesis of “hey, this guy’s a

Which makes it such a shame that people throw them around like they are an authoritative source of anything. It’s literally just some guy who read a book and has a microphone. It’s as good as whatever book they read.

It’s co-hosted by the guys from The Dollop, who I’ve listened to quite a lot. They’re funny and entertaining, but they’re comedians not historians. Their whole schtick is just reading some book and incredulously saying “holy shit” about wha

Reading through the descriptions of the episodes of this podcast it seems a lot like they start with a conclusion and then confirmation bias themselves (and everyone else who already agrees with them). Maybe not the most objective source.
