This is so sad

Glad someone with a few brain cells is here. Didn’t realize the community could just be spammed by others.

You are correct in that numbers leading into Covid rose dramatically and started to fall off over the last, I wanna say, year and a half or so. Still larger than before. I do not have anything against hiring and firing on a by need basis. However, I do think that’s gone too far in this instance. When you have 15-20k people being let go at multiple organizations, there’s something wrong with the decision process in the first place imo.

In a state where corporatism dominates everything and the reins are minimal. We allow corporate A to get away with more than we deem appropriate for the sake of preserving the bottom line. This gives them leverage to do it again and again or to intensify. It also showcases to corporation B that this abuse is at an apparent acceptable threshold, with room to probably get away with a bit more. It’s an abusive cycle that will continue to demolish the well being of more and more people until proper reins are put in place.

Ah right. Gotta continue letting them get away with whatever they want or we might hurt the bottom line. This thinking is part of why we’re here.

Sure you can. We could limit the work week to 32 hours, pay higher salaries such that homes and goods are affordable again.

I highly doubt that. They are open-sourcing a small suite because it is economical to do so. Closed source means constantly having to re-train newcomers. Normalizing VsCode and friends will go a long ways. Same thing Google did with their IT certs.

Fair, but let’s be honest, most of the time a partner may not want to hear about a solution because they first want compassion and understanding. Be willing to listen, and your partner will talk about a solution when they are ready.

Right. My point is that their response will have a large impact on other demographics. Their attempt is likely to backfire over time.

What? A cue being solely sufficient to make a decision and a cue bei g used in conjunction with other things are two separate things.

I’m not referring to the people not giving anything. More people will leave that originally watched ads.

The day that happens, I’d rather die

No dude. Sound and air pressure are cues as well.

YouTube surprised at sudden lack of consumers

I’m aware of this. This is the first time I’m aware they managed to get a pilot system and I think that shows great promise. Also, people are noticing more and more, and pushing back.

It will. Takes time to test and roll things out

Mismatched as in incorrect resistance?

A minimum 4 year commitment was supposed to make you more valuable in the job market. That was the entire point or at least the message broadcasted. If a degree isn’t conducive to large potential for at least a 30% increase in wages, what’s the point of that time invested? Either institutes are adequately designed to promote this or they’re effectively useless in a practical sense.

Bitcoin is not the only currency. I’m not saying faster transactions are active, but that is a goal for some currencies no? Wasn’t aware if that first Europe. What about settle time then? That is, time it takes to verify a major transaction is legit?

I would it expect to be bi-partisan. What reasons do we have for crypto? Security, faster transaction time, independent of government (more of a global currency), taxes too high, transparency, etc.
