You won't pull yourself up by your bootstraps with that attitude! You can learn to play the violin and be homeless( Typical slacker complaining instead of just being willing to multitask).
Thank god they worried more about the stock's impact and dragged this out months as separate 'small' layoffs instead of caring about people and making it a single event. Who cares about employees anxiety, their trust in the company, etc, right Amazon? You deserve the mass exodus of talent coming.
In that scenario the original artist is granted copyright and assigns it to the company. Another option would be for the artist to 'license' the work to the company and keep copyright ownership themselves. Since there is no original artist to be granted copyright then there is no one to assign it to the company so no copyright under current statute. I and others got so many downvotes here for pointing this out previously.
It is the digital equivalent of cash. That is the whole point. When you buy something with cash, can you just reverse the transaction later? The good reason is what use is a person to person payment system where the person receiving money has no guaranty that they get to keep the money received.
I can get money in my kids bank accounts within minutes, with no fees, all from my banking app and without giving access to my money to some other shady techbro company. Seems like a pretty great use case and one I use every month.
Zelle is very clear it's not reversible. Like very very very clear. It's how it works, so the person on the other end has a guaranty you won't just claw the money back after you complete a transaction. Pretty weak to blame them for your mistake.
The Fed wants to push unemployment. To save the economy previously they injected tons of money and need Billionaires and big businesses (because the injection process is not directed to your average mom and pop) to use that money. Now that they need to reduce money, they take away jobs for the working class. Nice system. Free government money to some and government pushing for you to lose your job for others, the two levers the Fed loves.
I've heard aerospace companies have standing checks in place to ensure that they never go above being composed of more than Y% ex-Boeing employees be it management/design/floor workers so that they don't end up with the Boeing 'culture' creeping in.
Shocker that management taking away the livelihood of tens of thousands of individuals due to management failures can not be reduced to a positive email.
Imagine someone just flying a helicopter through a forest scraping up the wildlife in huge nets, picking out the snails, and dropping the rest of what they scooped up to their death. Yet it happens all day every in the oceans and no one cares.
It used to be for every pound of wild caught shrimp caught, more than 4.5-5 pounds of other fish species were caught as bycatch and discarded dead. But now thanks to by catch reduction devices that is down up to 30%, so an optimistic 3.15-3.5 pound of bycatch.
As the old 'Ukraine just has to have no agency for there to be peace'.
Remember the Minsk II Agreements were based on the predicate that the 'little green men' WEREN'T Russian soldiers. Which even Russia now admits was a lie. How could a framework based on a lie about one side's aggression work to.... prevent future aggression by that lying side?
And millions of Americans getting the identity stolen and dealing with the fallout. The IRS doesn't care that it was someone else working under your identity that didn't pay taxes, they want their money.
Is that still true? I think a group of tech influencers existed in the past but I don't see any evidence that continues to be the case. I guess they could all exist in discords I don't have site into. Previously you could see trends migrate through tech communities and out into the world. I don't really see that now.
Really? They have been saying 'this year marked the first decline in China's population' for 30 years? Because that is what China stated this year. Also that they had over reported their population by 100 million. For 30 years you say... huh, I must of missed that.
Ding ding ding! Crazy people don't get this and defend this as totally normal ignoring this company has actual suicide prevention nets to prevent their employees from killing themselves because the companies employment practices at that friggen aweful!
Is someone doing the same task 60 times a minute in the hospital that entire shift minus a lunch break? Do assembly line workers for Apple get treated the same as hospital workers? Not eve close! Do hospital workers have to ask permission to go to the bathroom? Do hospitals have suicide nets to prevent their workers from trying to kill themselves because they have lost all hope? You are talking two very different things.
We don't want people crippled from abusive levels of hours doing a task at high risk of repetitive stress injury just so that Apple doesn't have to deal with shift changes. They are trading lifetime quality of life issues for their workers (who don't have much other option) for a reduction in shift changes. As someone whose been at the bottom and seen as throway sorting trash at a recycling facility and whose hands still often ache from that job, F! Apple!
Yes, let's take these high repetitive stress injury rate jobs and tack an extra four hours on. Of course the workers will do it, they don't have a choice. But their body's won't for long. But that's a sacrifice Apples willing to make for the convenience of less production line handoffs.
As someone who has been at the bottom and had very unfavorable work conditions forced on me because companies could F! Apple, do better, be better.
There is an open music making forum. It is completely toxic. Even if I set to ignore garbage users they influence the discussions and most threads. A relevant music making subreddit deleted my music on an open to all feedback request thread without giving me any reason, yet I still prefer that subreddit because it's not just pure toxic negativity. We need a mix of both with people free to choose their model.
