Antitrust regulation in the US is a joke. I don't know why this is somehow newsworthy, but I doubt anything will happen that benefits the average person. Frankly, I am tired of so-called news companies and journalists (EDIT: and elected officials) not being more critical of companies and their anti-consumer behavior.

Where was the concern when Google and Facebook and the like were buying up smaller tech companies to either integrate services or squash competition? Why was Disney allowed to buy 20th Century Fox, Marvel Entertainment, LucasFilm, and other media companies? Similar question with Microsoft and Sony buying multiple game developers (and waging exclusivity bullshit)?

As with a lot these days, in response to this story, I'll believe it when I see it.

My wife and I both went 90 days without any technology we decided to take a trip to Scotland and give up our phones and every other connection we had to the outside world. Just had a camera with a memory card and that was it. After 3 weeks my wife noticed that there was a difference in the way my hair and my skin looked I was less stressed out I was sleeping better I was eating better and I was losing weight in a healthy way. Sooner or later you're just going to have to realize that if you want to live a long healthy happy life you need to put all this text shit down and walk away from it. It does not improve the quality of our lives anyway all it does is mask with artificial bullshit.

So given all that, doesn’t it bother you that the union piled on against Apple here? It’s one thing to blame lazy employees, but what about the union? Shouldn’t they be held to a higher standard as well?

Prevent something like the Arab Spring from ever happening again.

Why do you think the Saudis are bankrolling him?

I wish the US Govt would adopt that policy. I can usually finish all of my work in 2-3 days and I'm just browsing Reddit/Youtube for the rest while I wait to go home. What I wouldn't give to have an extra day of rest or time to take care of stuff at home. The older people here think it's stupid when they spend most of their day wasting time like taking 2-3 hour lunches and/or coffee breaks to stretch out what little work they actually do.

I purchased the beer from the store not from the cashier. The cashier rings up my beer and tells me how much it costs and then puts my money in the register. Nowhere in there do they owe me the beer nor does the beer come into their possession at any point.

... are you a libertarian? Because you sound like a libertarian jerking off over contract law.

So who’s left? Like seriously, is it literally just coinbase now?

Interesting exercise, you can see where this is heading. It wont be long before manufacturers pay to have accurate information about their products and specifications placed high on AI’s recommendation list.

Lol, people falling for the social media hype are going to have a ROUGH landing.

>Over the next few months, the bakery-café chain will roll out scanners that can access customers' credit card and loyalty account using their palm. The biometric-gathering technology, developed by Amazon and called Amazon One, is already popular in airports, stadiums and Whole Foods Market grocery stores. Panera is expected to become the first national restaurant company to use it. > >... > >"In contrast with biometric systems like Apple's Face ID and Touch ID or Samsung Pass, which store biometric information on a user's device, Amazon One reportedly uploads biometric information to the cloud, raising unique security risks," the senators' letter to Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said.

When I first read the headline, I wondered what kind of technological capabilities a company like Panera might have. However, seeing that they're going to be using Amazon One things make a lot more sense.

For me, a server-based biometric system for retail purchases is pretty much a non-starter. I wonder how many other retailers will be signing on with this particular system, and what benefits a server-based system brings to them.

or have it write your homework, or write your business correspondence.

I don't owe them my labor. I give them my labor under the assumption that I am being paid for it. It's a transaction. I don't say the cashier at the grocery store owes me my beer after I pay for it.

The minute my check bounces, I'm out and I'm burning the fucking company to the ground. The minute they don't allow me to expense some training I'm going through, I'm out the door. If the situation changes and I don't like it, I am allowed to leave. How do I owe them labor if I'm allowed to leave or they can fire me at any moment?

As someone who worked within Apple. All this behavior is very accurate and common.

I told bing to make me Skyrim on unreal 5, and it didn’t do it. I have completely lost faith in the technology

>Not if they signed a contract. Which, is the same as an employment contract. You can’t break a contract without cause

"Dangerous work environment" is cause. You can't sign away your safety. Even if it's "in the contract" it's illegal and unenforceable

Their food is what you get if a mediocre bakery tripled the salt in all of their recipes. Just go Google an actual fucking bakery in your town.

Don't ask it how to do heart surgery or how to raise your kid either

And if the contract changes without being able to make adjustments or you are unable to come to an agreement, that plumber can leave the contract. The person who created the contract does not get to make changes to the contract without the approval of the person they are contracting with. That is basic contract law.

Being allowed to do remote work but now being forced back into the office is changing the contract and now it needs to be approved again.

Is that really a problem with the employees when they’re not provided reliable tech? You wouldn’t jump to blame the workers if the tech issues happened in an office.

If the employees are lazy I’d call it a recruitment and cultural issue. Why are they not motivated? Maybe higher ups who jump to conclusions aren’t helping.

Anyway all us desk jockeys who wfh means less traffic which surely helps people who do have to get around? Additionally when we work just as well from home making us travel to sit at some other desk is all kinds of stupid.
