You're focusing on a fact of the market which is not relevant to unionization discussions - what you're presenting is a risk for everyone in the industry. Instead unionization focuses on doing what we can to ensure we're tre

Considering the only apparent difference between the two is method of control and people love complaining about voice analysis miscomprehending I doubt there is much distance between those two terms in most consumers minds. I think in gene

Yea - I don't think voice commands are a feature particularly desired for speakers. There are only a few instances I can think of where I want my speaker to respond to voice commands - when I'm in the shower and when I want it to

I'd clarify that those people have absolutely no responsibility for the administration and it's an absolute shame that any US citizen is denied the right to vote (including felons - yes even the really bad ones). Populations ha

I wouldn't be surprised if it starts up pretty soon as the gigantic tax cuts were just made permanent - that likely means the folks with money have gotten everything they needed out of this administration.

It seems like this news predated Musk's agency taking an axe to CHIPS ACT staffing. It'll be curious to see if this ends up happening or if they pull the expansion when the subsidies are reduced.

There are several (and a few directly conflicting) polls in that document which I think reflects realty - most people haven't come down hard on stances involving Ukraine and remain flexible. As an example: "Do you favor or oppose

Israel is going to need to be a lot more internationally vocal if they disapprove of Bibi. I know the majority of american folks of jewish descent disapprove of Bibi's actions but his polling in Israel is a lot less unfavorable.

Sometimes it can take a serious effort to understand why a problem is happening and I'll accept an unknown blip that can be corrected by occasionally hitting a reset button occasionally when dealing with third party software. From my

A good universal healthcare system wouldn't have these issues but, much with a nod to the ACA, would we manage to accomplish a good system or would that system still be riddled with rent-seeking opportunities to protect the employment

It is also possible that we're just in the realm of pure speculation now - if you look at Tesla and NVidia both their valuations are completely imaginary and with the latter standing to benefit a lot by being shovel sellers (but not t

I wanted to briefly reinforce this point with the fact that SQL has multiple equality operators - there is both `=` and `IS NOT DISTINCT FROM`. The later operator will treat null values as equal in alignment with the `DISTINCT` and `DISTIN

(1) Canada has never had an open border policy and (2) our skilled labor market is extremely robust. We have significant issues with housing in metro areas that are related more to extremely NIMBY zoning laws than anything else.

Rather than looking at fixing a broken visa system that's specifically employee tied we should just look at relaxing the requirements for O1 visa qualification and allowing non-employer tied skilled immigration. There's a classic

Lets not ignore O1 visas either. O1 visas are, in my opinion, what we should lean into instead of continuing with employer specific specialized worker visas - if you're accepted into the US you should be free to work for whomever you

Oh - well in that case a health insurer has a contract to provide reasonable care... but I think it's pretty clear (especially with UHC's absolutely insane 90% inaccurate rejection bot) that there are bad faith actors involved her

And that comparison is important - when junk fees are allowed more honest companies suffer because consumers might shop around and end up choosing the option that is actually more expensive. Those consumers might be on page 12/13 of a
