I was laid off at the end of summer, and am just starting a new job this week. The level of anxiety is real, even knowing the new job is less responsibility (and money) than my previous one.
Macbook Air isn't just about the weight, the processor/horsepower are a draw. I have to wonder if LG can compete with Apple's performance, rather than just making a lighter laptop. The Macbook Air is already quite light. The Macbook Pro is a beast.
I always chucked at the jealousy argument, because it's just another way of admitting discriminatory pay practices. If people are paid the same for the same work, nothing to be jealous about.
I had a manager once argue that equal pay for equal work just inspires people to slack off. I contend that being joblessafter being fired for being a slacker is motivation enough to earn that equal pay by doing equal work.
So they are replacing gas stoves because of pollution (article notes it), but adding a bunch of wildly over-priced e-waste (WiFi stove? GTFOOH), adding random fire risk (Lithium-Ion batteries are notorious for this), and doing so at tax payer expense. Nice.
I feel like the $60M (plus labor/install costs) they will spend on these stoves for 10K homes would probably do a good deal of fixing whatever the reliability issues are, in the current gas environment, without wapping 10K stoves. We all know it's not "for the environment), it's "who knows someone on the board at that startup selling these stoves".
Yep, that's why companies try so hard to intimidate people into keeping that info secret. I think most if not every company I've ever worked for has had some version of
It's against company policy
It's illegal
It will just create jealousy
And of course, my responses have always been
Too bad, it's federally protected
Liar
No, your payroll policies do that; same job, same pay
Man, I read this as the technology being blamed, vs. her being their employee. I hope her family gets justice for this, but companies seem to be immune from consequences, so we'll see...
I tried watching what was supposed to be a video comparing several linux distros. Instead, it was AI text to speech narrating over random images. Are people uploading this crap in an attempt to get a share of ad revenue, or just to be awful? I have to hope Youtube doesn't let this be fully automated, so people are doing this on purpose...
You know it's going to be successful when they go back to using antiquated productivity measurements like measuring based on lines of code in a time frame. We all know AI is fucking spectacular at generating overly verbose code.
I upgraded o an RTX5050 just before all the prices skyrocketed. Glad I did, and also glad I didn't go for the higher end cards at the time. I've been quite impressed at the stability and graphics quality while dipping into Linux gaming.
Their marketing spin is such BS. Trying to say that the amount of rework needed for apps to provide a wonderful experience, etc. Those apps already have that "wonderful" experience in Windows 10, Microsoft just cut corners in a redesign and power users are rightfully pissed off.
This is just an appetizer
