You’re going to be disturbed quite a lot. There are a lot of CEOs like that out there. For example, Jeff Bozos thinks that the Amazon warehouse workers are lazy. These sociopaths would be crying with joy if an employee died in the process of making them an additional fifty bucks of profit.
Whenever I see people promoting ‘hustle culture’ on TV, social media or books, I feel a strong urge to crush their skull with a big wrench. They are predators out to make money by fueling the insecurity of regular people.
They diverted the funding for AI? AI is already a way for rich crooks to steal and make money off public information, if not an outright hype that grifters employ to attract funding for their devious pursuits. None of this is AI’s fault. But politicians should understand the type of people they are funding, instead of ignorantly falling for buzzwords.
If you want any change in this, you should formally express your concern using A2A missiles. If they protest, formally deny it. This is what they do after all, isn’t it?
The amount of exploitative powers that the US gives these abusive companies is absolutely insane. The minimum that’s needed for such transgressions is the jailing of responsible management staff.
It’s not as easily dismissed. Many US companies cancel internships/employment offers after the candidate has spent a considerable sum on travel and housing. It’s even more heartless when employment visas are involved.
For some very litigious companies, they’re let off easily after causing huge financial and emotional strain to individuals. They should be punished, penalized and forced to compensate the victims for these.
I have heard this tape. While it’s distressing, it’s something worth hearing. Not because it’s pleasant to listen to people die. But because it’s worth remembering their pain so that those mistakes are never repeated again.
Remember that the engineers, technicians and other support staff of Apollo 1 didn’t have the option of turning off the audio either (I listened to it to partially feel what they felt). They worked feverishly to save their colleagues who were burning to death only a few inches away from them. And to finally reach them to find out that it was all in vain.
This would have been a horrifyingly painful experience for NASA. And it did have an impact. NASA changed in an instant. No effort was spared in keeping the future astronauts safe. So much so that a deeply crippled Apollo 13 still made it back safely. And no lives were ever again lost on the Apollo missions. That’s the power of a personal connection to a tragedy. I watch a lot of accident investigation documentaries, including rail, aviation and space. Nothing drives the lessons deep like the depiction of human tragedy.
Just imagine. If only the aircraft manufacturers could see the final moments of the passengers that die in their low quality aircrafts. Perhaps they would try hard to avoid such incidents rather than chase profits at any cost.
RIP: Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffee, Ed White. The bravehearts of Apollo 1.
You’re grossly underestimating the skill and coordination required by human hands. Granted that we don’t notice it. But our body has complex neural pathways that do this without constant attention from our conscious mind.
Where do you shop local? I think the public lost when they let down mom and pop shops in favor of these megacorps. They wouldn’t have had the leverage to jack up price gouging and inflation so much otherwise.
You better vote for him in the next rounds too, or it’s going to be see saw.
With this much complexity, why not just use TLS client certificates without PKI and managed by a password manager?
No. Just people fighting for the Darwin awards.
I wouldn’t call idiocy leading to ER admissions as ‘blown out of proportions’. That aside, I still don’t understand what you prove by consuming something as distasteful as tide pods.
How about religion-backed traditional garlic treatment? Not joking. A lot of pseudoscience is backed by dogma.
Please learn elementary anatomy and physiology. You don’t have to get a medical degree. High school level knowledge will do.
This dangerous misinformation wouldn’t get shared around, if people knew about mucous membranes.
They’re neither crisis managers, nor counsels. The correct term is astroturfers. They all have some vested interests in doing so.
What is the fundamental reason why people fall for antivax propaganda?
Democracy and the right to dissent are meant to oppose abuse like these. Why isn’t anyone protesting?
How does GDPR mandate a public audit of the code base? Is there such a provision in it? (Not a confrontational question)
I get how hard it is to cut down on airline emissions. But the strict requirements on budget has significantly improved that number over the past few decades. Aircraft engines today are much less polluting than they were 30 or 50 years ago. Perhaps the goals shouldn’t be dropped so easily.
What scares me about this is how lightly climate change is taken. “Yeah, I don’t think we can do it. So we’re going to just stop trying”. Do you even realize what sort of trouble the humanity and this planet is in? Especially for a country dominated by its coastline?
