bzudo··on Most Londoners would quit before they give up working from home
"I have no feeling nor connection towards those remote employees." Fun fact: You can engage with remote employees with the click of a button. Convenient indeed!
bzudo··on Most Londoners would quit before they give up working from home
"where you are replaceable, transactional human resource, using other humans transactionally as resources"

So in your view, remote work is saying the quiet part out loud.

Great, now we can drop the charade. Except now, remote workers get some modicum of enjoyment from the transaction. At the expense of "culture", "where in this together", and "when you're here, you're family". (Do gorillas deliver Olive Garden?)

bzudo··on Why does NBC make it so difficult to watch the Olympics?
I have an antenna as well. I was really hoping my NBC affiliate would use their other broadcast channels (4.1, 4.2, 4.3, etc) to show other Olympic sports. The promise of digital broadcasting. Nope, just more reruns from the 1980s.

Lock downs didn’t last that long. By the time the second wave hit, everything besides large in person gatherings wetback to normal. At least in the mid west.
bzudo··on The Joy of Fuck-You Money (2018)
Not only that, but maybe people closer to retirement would take it earlier and not wait for Medicare to turn on. Opening up positions for the next wave of folks.
bzudo··on 2021 will demand new kinds of video conferencing
Because many people will remain WFH even after the vaccine rollout. Video conferencing will be essential to connect those that go into the office with those who don't, especially during mixed in person/remote meetings.
bzudo··on Insurrectionists’ social media presence gives feds an easy way to ID them
Boys will be boys. Shucks they didn't mean nothing by it. Just blowing off steam. Don't blow it out of proportion....

Did I miss any?

"Some people are saying" it wasn't even really people. It was a performance art piece to get "real Americans" in trouble.

Give me a break. The people that participated in this are deplorable.

At their perceived oppression. In reality, they still hold all the cards.

Without paying customers there is no job. UBI allows people to become those customers.
bzudo··on Universal Basic Income is Capitalism 2.0
As for 1, I view it as a mutualistic relationship. Those who don't depend on UBI to live, depend on those who do to spend.
bzudo··on Ask HN: Which book helped you understand the world?
A People’s History of the United States. It opened my eyes to a past I didn’t know existed, which helps me understand the present.

Off topic and stupid, but could an electric plane be outfitted with lightning rods and/or lightning rockets to attract lightning strikes in order to charge the batteries?
bzudo··on Let's build houses for people, not cars
It seems like a perfect opportunity to let the free market solve the last mile problem.
bzudo··on U.S. Significantly Weakens Endangered Species Act
Another reason I've heard from some conservatives is that God created the earth and animals for mankind to use as he sees fit. If animals go extinct, so be it. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

bzudo··on iPhone X
I think you're right. Swipe up to go home is fine, but swipe up and pause for multitasking is going to be a pain to explain to my parents.
bzudo··on How do self-taught developers get jobs? (2016)
What does a developers portfolio entail? I'm a motion graphic designer and when I apply for jobs I send a demo reel of my work. Which is a 1 minute video with snippets of my best stuff set to music. Is there something similar developers send along with resumes?
