I’d love for this to be an accurate prediction. It’s not.

Orbit was specifically for small satellite launch off a Boeing 747. Galactic is focused on space tourism. Pay $450k for a ride to space.

Until enough steps are taken to walk back the labor market into the hands of employers - they will continue to struggle finding talent to fill positions without remote work being an option.

Even then they're going to struggle, as everyone who wants to work or has to work for the most part has a job. Even with these layoffs. The reductions are almost all in the big tech sector which is but a portion of the total technology sector.

Feb labor numbers were pretty revealing there.

From an unemployment perspective the US over the last couple months has been where it was under Trump pre-COVID. And yes that's both the headline number and the often cited "real unemployment" number which is always higher than the headline number.

But yea this is all a real estate play. It's crazy too how hard it's being used to push the agenda. Must protect corp real estate! haha nope, no we don't.

So don't use their platforms. It's that easy.

I tried it again yesterday. I inherited a poorly written work document that had all the important information in it but was overall lackluster and didn’t have much fluency. I asked Bard if it could help me rewrite the document, sort of like I’d paste a document to grammarly; but it really only offered suggestions of ways to edit and never to edit the actual document.

It also includes direct links to the websites that it’s getting it’s answers from, so it feels like it’s reciting the top google search results.

You have to use an authenticator account, or pay for SMS authentication.

Because it's definitely not written "badly" and vague on purpose! The government never oversteps its bounds!

Well-written laws are narrow and clear. Any room for "interpretation" is room for abuse.

They “didn’t commit fraud” just because government do not consider their fraud as fraud. Look on Iceland

Tell me you've never set foot in Europe without telling me.

> They mix LEDs in a bulb to get a certain spectrum of light.

No serious LED bulb manufacturer has done this for decades. The LEDs are coated with a phospher compound that converts a single wavelength to a spectrum. You can buy high CRI bulbs that are nearly indistinguishable from incandescent bulbs, but they are dimmer than standard 80 CRI bulbs.

I started the job I’m in now as a remote worker. I got highest marks on my performance review.

I’m more productive and less stressed. Of course middle managers are scared. Anything to justify their unnecessary role.

Google doesn’t develop things it buys things, they only needed a dummy model to scare other companies into thinking there is a competitor that could outmaneuver them if they don’t sell to Google, it’s not like Google is trying to beat anyone with their tech.

They should head to the old REPCONN headquarters if they’re looking for work out in the Mojave

Then why have anyone goto the office if they are going to be taught remotely?

Nice username

We do, though. There are quite a number of legal cases where individuals and governments at state and federal levels win on labor-related grounds. These are around not being compensated for work performed. Some of them include salaried employees.

We've already got a mileage stipend in place, even in the public sector. I'm unsure why you're under the impression that can't be extended. If it's an hourly employee, pay them from the start of the commute. If it's a salaried employee, consider their start time the same when it comes to calculating benefits. We don't need to make things unduly difficult. Someone abuses it in a "5 hour commute"? Fire them. We've got plenty of rules on the books for time fraud. This is the part where companies determine whether they want to hire someone. In addition, generally most companies don't hire people from an hour or more away.

It's not that there aren't flaws, it's that the flaws don't outweigh the benefits.

I can’t ever see GDPR as being construed as to mandate more Personal Information collection in order to comply. That’s a crazy argument from Italian regulators. Shame it’s coupled with a legitimate, critical ruling.

not plot twist. playbook.

You can socialize and collaborate outside work, you know. It actually gets a lot easier when you're not wasting all your time going into a job.

Or…You just get Real poor and Default on the loan. Fcuk it! You’re already gonna be living for Much longer. Might as well crash your credit score and high tail it into the Beach. Live off the land and Never be seen again!

As long as legal divisions treat the interests of the consumer in data privacy as adversarial to the interests of the firm, US companies will not get this. It’s a conscious choice to prioritize a few extra immediate dollars over the intangibles of company reputation, long-term stability and differentiation, and overall compliance.

someone mention elizabeth holmes?

They can still communicate. I've trained and mentored remote employees quite effectively.

Yeah nah, that won’t fly. It doesn’t even fly here in the US, an opt-out requirement is an opt-out, justification has no place here
