It's looking more and more like Webkit/Blink has won browser wars 2.0. However, as a diehard you will have to pry Firefox out of my cold dead hands.
Global Times, a state-run nationalist tabloid, quoted Gao as saying reports about his admission were "a complete misunderstanding," and published new, toned-down remarks from Gao."
oops, I guess Gao didn't stay on message. Too bad not embarrassing the regime is more important than genuinely informing the public.
Now things are starting to get critical. The situation in Burma is deteriorating threating to send a flood of refugees and virus varients into a country with no viable vaccines and lockdowns as the only protective measure. Lets hope for their sake they approve and administer actually effective Western vaccines.
For how long, with what potential corrective action on the part of the 'harasser'? What if this is a manager?
"Mandatory team change for the harasser."
To what team? Does the new team get a say or even get to know why someone new is joining?
These requests just seem unworkable so here's my alternative.
"Any employee found to have engaged in harassment of another is to be terminated without severance"
You don't need fossil fuel plants sitting idle. You need to increase energy storage capacity which according to the article state policy makes difficult to pursue. So yeah Texas is just propping up fossil fuel profits at the expense of renewables with its plan.
This article is about how the Texas legislature wants to double down on its "wind is the problem" lie by shifting the costs of establishing grid stabilization services exclusively to renewable energy producers in order prop up the profits of natural gas producers. A couple of companies, including Amazon, wrote a letter calling this plan stupid and unfair. I wouldn't expect to Texas legislature to care seeing how the state murdered through negligence more than 100 people to prop up energy producer profits already.
Remember this Amazonians, the LP's are just HR check boxes, they are the definition of "rules for thee, but not for me", they are propaganda that Amazon management uses to pretend decisions are principled, data driven, and built on consensus. However, when the rubber hits the road the LP's go out the window when anyone at the SVP+ wants something done. Time to start really thinking about who you work for and how much they've lost customer trust.
"When AWS says that they don’t use customer data or metadata to help inform their retail business, I have to now weigh that in the context of “they might be doing that and lying to us about it.”"
Amazonians, been working on any long term projects that don't seem to make sense from a technical perspective? Asked to limit access to specific systems for reasons you don't understand?
"Identify the executive who made the tweet and publicly fire him"
Its going to be hard to fire Bezos. According to media reports the tweet was sent at his behest.
"I don’t ever want to hear about an AWS employee being told by their manager that their tweets are “unprofessional” ever again."
They won't, they will just PIP and fire the employee just like Emily Cunningham and Maren Costa.
So the data doesn't back up the narrative in the letter and it seems to leave out Lynn Novick which has co-produced/co-directed the majority of Burn's films.
All of American Experience's episodes in season 33's so far (the current season) have been about Black Americans or women.
The majority of Independent Len's episodes in season 22 (the current season) have been about BIPOC's or women.
All of American Masters episodes in season 35 (the current season) so far have been about Black and White women.
If anything the data indicates that PBS is an exemplar of the kind of commitment to diversity of points of view the letters authors are advocating for.
2. RMS is a public figure by his own choice. This is not the same as your average HN commentor.
3. HN is definitely the place to discuss the public actions of organizations and people in tech
4. Please take the holier than thou, shaming attitude back to Reddit.
