US port workers and operators reach deal to end East Coast strike immediately | Tentative deal includes a 62% wage hike over six years
  • Again I am talking about automated ports not Amazon sorting facilities, please look into how automated ports work, in fully automated ports there are less workers working directly with machinery than in a standard port. You'll need to provide sources that automated ports are not safer or more efficient. The transportation and movement occupation has the highest number of fatal injuries in my state, not only can it be fatal but it also takes a toll physically as well, we should be helping these workers and automation can help do that.

  • Automated ports do not work that way, where employees interact directly with a robot. Instead employees stay at a desk and minimal employees are on the ground. Like I had mentioned, automated ports are safer.

  • Yes, I work in supply chain. Being a dock worker is a tough grueling job, wouldn't we want to automate that as much as possible? Besides cost, automated ports are both safer and more efficient. I think the ideal scenario would be to grant some sort of retraining.

    Monopoly platforms like Google and Facebook will take over the state – unless the state takes them over first, says the author and academic Nick Srnicek

    With Google's recent monopoly status being a topic a discussion recently. This article from 2017 argues that we should nationalize these platforms in the age of platform capitalism. Ahead of its time, in fact the author predicted the downfall of Ello.

    Our thoughts on compensation, and how they reflect Oxide's values.

    Compensation as a Reflection of Values / Oxide

    I've posted about this last year. However, during this time they've managed to keep it up and have risen their salaries. The article is an interesting read that goes about their reasoning for paying everyone the same salary.

    It's quite rare to see a company pay every employee the same salary, even rarer to have salaries this high. Very interested in how long they'll be able to keep this up.

    Dear Lemmings, what is your personal approach to human diet?
  • I found out what generally makes me feel good day to day, then I decided to pretty much eat those same foods everyday. Downside is that it's probably not as varied as the ideal diet, upside is that it's standardized which makes planning what you're going to eat easy. I've also found that I'm able to make more progress in the gym from a standardized diet.

  • About half of Bandcamp employees have been laid off
  • If I had to guess, it's because of money. There was more incentive at the time to grow fast and try to maximize profit than to limit growth and potential profits in case of a market downturn. Tim slightly explains what happened.

    For a while now, we've been spending way more money than we earn, investing in the next evolution of Epic and growing Fortnite as a metaverse-inspired ecosystem for creators. I had long been optimistic that we could power through this transition without layoffs, but in retrospect I see that this was unrealistic.

  • About half of Bandcamp employees have been laid off
  • I feel like back in March 2022 Epic did not really anticipate market conditions to continue to worsen. Big miscalculation on their part.

    Compensation as a Reflection of Values / Oxide

    Although, the company is quite small and the barrier to entry is quite high. It is still very interesting to see companies setting set wages for every employee across the board and being this transparent about it. The article goes into their reasoning for doing this, definitely a good read.
