As usual, there is a level of disconnect given the complexity and anonymity of the financial system.
"Shareholders" are often people who invested in fonds which invested in fonds and they are thus several steps of separation from the final invested corporation. They only want their pensions to be stable, and de-facto own tiny slivers of hundreds of corporations, maybe not even exactly knowing which ones.
That detaches them mentally from those corporations, much like when you go to a restaurant and eat the food without being particularly bothered whether the cilantro in your soup, supplied by a large-scale supplier and imported from another country, didn't originate in conditions worse than typical for that developing country.
Modern civilization is so complex that if you wanted to check conditions of every vendor of everything you consume, you'd simply not have enough time and energy to do so.
I am typing this on a Dell laptop; should I be particularly interested in what happens in every Dell supplier which contributed to building of that laptop? Are you? I just bought it and started working on it; we may certainly call this "complete disregard".
I never said anything about obligation. Of course they’re not obliged to provide extra jobs, but it is a moral obligation to treat those whom you employ with dignity. I would love to understand what you actually define as a moral obligation considering your vacuous response.
Damn. I got two weeks notice and then got shown the door with nothing. And now I get to compete with all these people who are going to be so much less stressed
Proper layoffs require at least 60 days of notice or 60 days of pay. Maybe you weren't part of a proper layoff, but if you think you were, check out the WARN act.
The WARN Act is triggered if there is a mass layoff of at least 50 employees (excluding PT) and that number represents at least 33% of the active employees at a single employment site
OR, if RIFF means closes location (with 50+ employees affected).
You should definitely check out the pinetime. I’m about to pick one up myself. For ~30 bucks why not.
Default OS is a community project. I followed development for a few years. It’s pretty solid last I checked with good battery life and support for user apps written in rust
Second that. Have had one for 2 years and it's brilliant. Haven't yet tried to build any app for it. But it runs a month for me on single charge. I use it for travel or when out for day trips with family.
Not intrinsically or commonly deadly. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseas... says "1 in 10 people will develop a pituitary adenoma in their lifetime" - pituitary adenomas is the more general class of these benign tumors, as the pituitary gland produces multiple hormones.
The nested divs in modern markup are just signs of lazy bone headed devs. I’m constantly removing them from our own app because with either grid or flex box layout in the browser is stupid easy. Haven’t even been tempted to use the old tricks like floats or absolute positioning in years and years.
Yeah lululemon is your problem there I’m guessing. I just did the reverse. For the last decade most of the clothes I wore came from target and they were ok. I felt like the fits worked for me so I mostly stuck with them.
That said I found some nice small brands and they blow target clothes and all those mall brands out of the water. The mall stuff is often exactly the same as target.
My wife has a sense of fashion and I do not. When we go out she's always dressed precisely and, left without guidance, I look like a hike might break out at any minute.
Relwen's excellent. Sturdy clothes with utility -- my concern -- good looking for a variety of semi-casual to formal occasions. I wear their hunting jacket as a general purpose blazer.
I’m sure it will. My pessimistic take is that the worst case is that thousands of bozos create crappy little apps that only cause minimal harm. And people just endure it instead of pushing for better guard rails.
Best case is some high profile shit show caused by software made mostly or entirely by ai that hopefully is bad enough that legislators wake up and realize that in the modern world software is essential enough that you can’t let just anyone sell it or services based on it. Just like you can’t allow anybody design/build bridges or hardware or whatever.
But I’m sure thats wishful thinking. Hacks and buggy software causing consumers harm is just accepted and software industry folk all hope to be billionaires so nobody cares.
Eh. I tried to buy into this for years but I think my poor working memory just pushes me towards having something like it open.
Maybe a little less now that I’ve become a heavy user of tabs. When I start working on a unique task I create a new tab with a few splits with the files I’m interested in. In a way tab views are how I externalize my working memory. But a file tree is still useful to me because file names don’t stick so using a command or picker to swap is often slower
