Big Bill Haywood put it simply: "If one man has a dollar he didn't work for, some other man worked for a dollar he didn't get." (I'm sure Marx said it more comprehensively.)
If your company is bought and the old owners make money, it comes from somewhere.
There are probly scenarios where some or all workers get an upgrade but it is an exception/fluke outlier rather than a likely situation.
I read the ft link (thanks comrade for supplying both original and archive).
Funniest sentence all week:
Trump has made tackling Red Sea instability a priority, amid concerns that the Houthis continue to pose a threat to the global economy.
What a bunch of entitled losers whining about adversaries in a military conflict "peeking" unfairly.
Without reading any of the links it sounds as if houthis having been scoring some wins on their more powerful enemy.
any pre-streaming TV show was written and produced with the idea that you could start watching it at any moment during any episode and it should make enough sense to follow. plus there were commercials interrupting all the time. Admittedly, DS9 was a bit "ahead of its time" with some long story arcs. But each episode does have a plot you can understand without any backstory.
You can follow any advice, jump around, start at the beginning, read summaries and see what appeals to you, roll a dice.. whatever.If you watch 5 eps and hate it, then its not for you.
I really don't know if I'd like it all if I started as an adult. There are so many Big Problems.
His wife is dead. You don't need to know much more than that.
There isn't even a box to describe your complaint?
It is just a contact information form. Am I missing some detail?
Never in my life seen a complaint form without a place to indicate the grievance.
somebody literally just put that sticker there 2 minutes ago
no need to lower yourself to advocating for eugenics when a comprehensive health policy toward vaccines would be more effective.
Is he possibly in some kind of cognitive decline, unable to make reasonable decisions, but since his base worships him no one can take the reins from him?
I mean that's what everyone was saying about Biden, except for the worshiping part.
I thought I would really like having backlight and paid extra for it. I find I almost never use it. I'd probably be just as happy having a booklight to attach to my keyboard for the offtime I need to see the keys in the total dark.
When I do use it, I use plain white (or the closest approximation) solid on for all keys all the time. No effects no movement.
Why would you want breathing or other animations? Is it an aesthetic thing or is there some utility? I have a low low end kb that defaults to something like this everytime it gets powered off/on and I can only use it in extreme emergencies because it's very annoying to me. But given the popularity there must be some benefit.
Is there anything unique to mkbs with regards to lighting? Can't all kinds of kbs have backlight?
incredible to get the tongue out like that
this cat is perfectly
does anyone have a full view of those shirts
I don't find this to be very credible sounding.
It tells you some numbers as though they are supposed to sound high but there is nothing for comparison. For one thing, of course a lot of people who work in a tel aviv office are ex IDF. Israel has conscription and israel is a theocratic apartheid state... I'd expect ex-IDF are well represented at any professional job in tel aviv. Who else would work there?
Then it gives this weird list of names. Why are they screenshots of word documents? Why are they screenshots at all? Such a strange way to to present information. Here's one:
There are 72 names attributed to US locations and 49 to tel aviv. I tried to find out how many workers facebook has in the US. I keep finding it has about 74k; I think that's global. This page says there are 13k in North America. This slightly older page says 23.4k in US. Assume the lower (13k) that gives 0.55% of total. Is that much of an over representation? How many former military/intelligence people generally are working at meta? How much mil/removedare working at other tech companies, and how many ex IDF?
Since we have no context against which to compare, the reader is left to themselves to fill in the blanks. Insinuation and nothing more.
This is in "news". What is the news?
Microsoft fired employees who publicly protested supplying AI tech to Israeli military
This is the guy who fought against the gangs to protect his parents, then had to flee to the US as a refugee to avoid retaliation from them. Now he's been sent into a locked facility where these same people have been incarcerated and tortured.
I don't know that any further action will be required of the US government to end his life. I'm surprised he isn't dead yet. Maybe someone is bargaining with him.
All they have to do is stall things long enough. Then what'll it be? A wrongful death suit? Years more torture for family and community.
