America and Europe plays fair? :)
I think both America and Europe has been and are still very unfair, so pointing fingers at China seems ridiculous to me. Specially America that breaks every moral rule in the world to make money.
Makes sense. Younger employees tend to have more energy to do things, while older ones are getting comfortable after working for so many years.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Are we on reddit?
Thank you, I didn't get the paywall myself so didn't know. Maybe it's not blocked in Europe or something.
I never link to paywalled stuff otherwise.
Bosses are firing Gen Z grads just months after hiring them—here’s what they say needs to change
Here’s what they say needs to change.
Is gen z intentionally refusing to change their behavior for work, or what is the reason for this?
Kind of think it's cool that they remain themselves.
This will be a vote against competition.
Similar to America, Europe is also artificially trying to make consumers choose native cars, by making Chinese ones more expensive.

Because people who suck their tits need their milk.
I think a mix of healing and damage through curses is better. I haven't played wow in like 20 years, but my favorite was the shadow priest. Both a healer and a strong damage dealer.
I don't think a fence will stop anyone... :) But sure, go ahead.
Amazon is super stressful and I guess a lot of people quit the first few years. Maybe the 40% is to motivate them to stay for more hellish years.
I'm very happy not to work at Amazon.
Ok :) Yeah I don't know what that feels like.
I've never heard about anyone getting physically sick from eating food with their girlfriend. :)
I have no idea. I don't read about games very much and don't follow what's happening. I guess games are like movies, we like to identify with the characters to feel the game is good. Sometimes it's hard if they are very different from us, and then the movie / game is very boring or even annoying.
Yeah andor was amazing. Took me a while to get into it but once I did, I wanted to finish. :)
I'm on the other side and lost interest very quickly due to the politics. But I can absolutely see the game being great if that's your thing.
In r/wallstreetbets they use the word regarded instead, which is just funny to me. People buying stocks at the wrong time can be hilarious, even though sometimes sad of course.
If this is real, it's absolutely fascinating :)
In what way? I don't even know what "telling on himself" means. I'm just expression my opinion about this. Why is that so upsetting?
I think I'm on the other side - I think it's way too much woke agenda in a lot of popular TV shows we watch. Disney competely wrecked a lot of shows because they kept pushing in gender/race related things that felt competely out of place.
I couldn't even watch the acolyte. They wrecked it competely. Many web pages have described what's wrong with it so won't repeat that here, but hopefully you already know what I mean.
It's part of an effort to normalize seeing it. I think it's probably good, but it's just a bit unrealistic sometimes and feels very forced. ':)
It's about debt on zombie office towers.
This article describes the real reason behind the push back to the office. It's about rich people gambling on real estate and now office buildings are empty.
These same people own newspapers and media channels which is why their crying voices are being pushed.
Frostpunk 2 releases in 1 hour!
Not long to go now :) Frostpunk 1 was one of my all time favorite games and I think everyone should check out the sequel. It's been getting stellar reviews.
Do remote workers actually work? Yes, but they also shop and shower
Remote workers often brag about how productive they are at home, but a new survey sheds light on what they're really doing all day.
My favorite quote:
> While employees in the office might kill time messaging friends or flipping through TikTok, remote workers take advantage of being far from the watchful gaze of bosses to chip away at personal to-do lists or to goof off.
> Nearly half of remote workers multitask on work calls or complete household chores like unloading the dishwasher or doing a load of laundry, according to the SurveyMonkey poll of 3,117 full-time workers in the U.S.
Oh noes, people actually doing things that are useful for their families instead of even more computer time.
It's insane that this is even considered strange or surprising. When I work from home, I take longer lunch breaks and I often stop working earlier, but I'm still three times as productive compared to sitting in an office.
At home, I actually get focused time to do something and think. At the office, this is extreamly difficult with all the distractions and noise constantly interrupting my train of thought.
My Job Is to Train Tesla's Cars to Drive Themselves
A worker on Tesla's Autopilot team described what it's like labeling the influx of driver videos.
Some quotes from the article:
> There is something very strange about having this very intimate view into someone's life. It feels odd to see someone's daily drive, but it's also an important part of correcting and refining the program.
> We review about five and a half to six hours of footage per day. It can be very hard to focus. You can get in this kind of fog when you're just watching clip after clip and it can be difficult to keep yourself sane.
> Anytime you're not clicking around in the software program, it tracks you as if you aren't working and it basically sets off an alarm to your superiors.
These jobs sound very dystopian to me, and a bit psychopathic as well. All the movies I watched growing up about dystopian societies is reflected in what this guy says about his job.
Off by default, but never fully gone.
Who is surprised?
Customize YouTube to work exactly the way you want it to.
I'm using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.
And the best part is no ads whatsoever.
There's also a new browser choice screen. Today Apple has announced a new set of changes it's going to implement into its mobile operating systems to...
I don't expect most iPhone users to ever change their default settings, but it's nice that it will be possible in a year.
Who knows, maybe one day you can run actual Firefox on them too? :p
We are excited to share that vertical tabs and a new sidebar experience are now available in Nightly 131. This update has been highly anticipated and requested by the community, ...
I tried this last night and I actually really like it. The default theme seems to have changed also and looks much cleaner.
And you can have AI models open in the sidebar. Not only chatgpt but also other open source and free models like huggingface. I thought that was very cool.
I don't know if the general public have even tried any other model than chatgpt. It's fun to play around with others.
Meta to pay Texas $1.4 billion in facial recognition case
Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the Facebook parent company in 2022, claiming it had used personal biometric data without permission.
> Meta had been using facial recognition software on photos uploaded to Facebook without Texans’ consent.
We don’t talk a lot in public about the big vision for Tailscale, why we’re really here. Usually I prefer to focus on what exists right now, and what we’re going to do in the next few months. But let’s look at the biggest of big pictures for a change.
This is one amazing blog post. I don't think I've ever identified so much with what they are saying here.
Some quotes from the beginning of the article:
> Instead, the tech industry has evolved into an absolute mess. And it’s getting worse instead of better! Our tower of complexity is now so tall that we seriously consider slathering LLMs on top to write the incomprehensible code in the incomprehensible frameworks so we don’t have to.
> Programmers today are impatient for success. They start planning for a billion users before they write their first line of code. In fact, nowadays, we train them to do this without even knowing they’re doing it. Everything they’ve ever been taught revolves around scaling.
> In modern computing, we tolerate long builds, and then docker builds, and uploading to container stores, and multi-minute deploy times before the program runs, and even longer times before the log output gets uploaded to somewhere you can see it, all because we’ve been tricked into this idea that everything has to scale.
The Basic plan is getting discontinued in France, US. Netflix will discontinue the Basic plan in the United States and France. The cheapest ad-free plan...

Tech Giants Withholding Products Because EU Regulation like GDPR
Does this mean we dont get to be tracked, data mined, ad-bombed, and exploited while our teens dont get depressed and sick from "social" media?
Well, if thats the price we pay, thats the price we pay... :)
The WikiLeaks founder has been held in a prison outside London for the last five years and fought extradition to the U.S. He is expected to return to Australia.
Julian Assange is free.
After living in a cell for more than 5 years, he can soon go home and meet his family again.
I'm wondering if it was worth the sacrifice. The governments and tech companies are spying more than ever on everyone.
Apple supplier says new tech has 100 times the capacity of its current batteries.
All U.S. Presidents Are Related -12 Year Old Girl Discovers That All But One US President Are Directly Related To Each Other
Snowden: OpenAI just went full mask off
I personally don't trust Snowden. Looking at the difference between how he was treated and how Assange was treated. One guy gets to rot in prison, other guy gets movies made about him from Hollywood. Snowden is very much controlled opposition in my mind.
But that being said, I think he is truthful about OpenAI. Which sucks, because now I and many others love using chat gpt.
It's possible to self host these things though. I read an article about it here:

But probably not worth the money for most people.
I set expectations when she saved up and got the phone – little did I know it would undermine them, and her mental health
I think its not just kids anymore, it's adults too. Everyone is glued to their screens these days. But kids are more vulnerable to influences from "social" media and don't have any defences to the psychological warfare going on. Of course they feel like shit.
