Do we know why? For Americans, I can see the nihilism of the grunge era affecting the latter part of that group, and possibly having a lasting effect towards political compass.
But I can’t think of a reason of the top of my head for European millennials driving so deep into that side of politics.
They’re counting on people being complacent and just whitelisting.
The problem is, they’re probably right to try the tactic too. People need those dopamine hits.
Is it fun yet?
They were already making their own ARM processors in their phones/tablets/watches and even implemented in some of their pro line of laptops as a security processor. The evolution to make their own computer processors seemed inevitable, especially considering Intel’s products were failing to meet battery and thermal wants from Apple.
It felt exciting for people who pay attention to tech, but it was no more exciting than their prior switch from PowerPC procs to Intel, or from third party ARM in iPhones to their own procs.
It’s still very on brand for Tim Cook as well it allows the company to control even more of the design and manufacturing, which stabilizes their supply flow.
The company also had prior experience with the aforementioned PPC to x86 move and their Rosetta translation layer, which they implemented this time around with Rosetta 2 to great success as well, making most things run near native during the devs switch for their binaries.
I think this could have been smelled in the water for a long while. Tim Cook was trusted to steer the rudder but his specialty is supply chain management, and I don’t think anyone can say he’s done a bad job.
But. On the R&D side I don’t think people could say he’s done a great job.
The ideas have dried up. When you go “safe” at CEO you make money, but you limit your ceiling, which, once again, with Apple is already breaking the mold.
Consumer electronics is saturated. There is little to no breakthrough there anymore.
Evolution is outside that, but outside that might not be in Tim Cook or Apple’s executive suite’s realm anymore.
Slides from 20 years ago.
This is news, yes, especially considering that Apple made a deal with the devil considering its new self-reported bloom as privacy focused.
But news headlines are acting like Apple just said this today, and that is complete headline bait.
And anyone left will be living a live probably not worth living.
That’s not how this works at all.
There are plenty of ways to deal with this, and issue a death penalty to the corporation while not punishing the workers:
Forced turnover of executives and board members (with jail time and high % fines), corporate watchdog for x amount of years
Dissolve the mega-corp into smaller corporations, and/or force all subsidiaries into a planned disengagement from parent company
Bail-out in the form of state ownership by government buying majority stake
In any of the above, or even in a complete mega-corp dissolution the demand doesn’t disappear. If you want to have the argument that these “oh so wonderful stewards of business” are the reason people have jobs in the first place, you can’t ignore that demand is the reason those very same executives have jobs too.
If they tear it down, someone will build something else to replace it.
When the fuck are they going to stop treating these companies and executives with kid gloves?
Why do they do these things, shred evidence, lie on the stand, and break almost every white collar law there is? Because there are little to no consequences. And if there are it’s for people in the “out” group. New money.
Crack down on all of them. Shredding evidence should be an admission of guilt. Full stop.
For iOS I really like Vinegar.
If not, we can expect to see legal channels raising their prices again to cover the losses caused by piracy.
And with the last paragraph the whole article loses its legitimacy as propaganda. I mean I should have expected as much considering the source, but I still wanted to see how well researched it was.
No, this is a case where people are rebelling against a broken system, that didn’t need to be broken in it’s mostly recovered state.
No, the general paying public shouldn’t shame pirates for their actions, they should shame the companies for their actions that have driven them to this. Companies aren’t your friends, they don’t care about you, they just want your money.
Almost any CEO + empathy doesn’t seem right.
At least 20% of people in executive positions are psychopaths. Literally psychopaths. Not sociopaths, full on psychos.
I can almost guarantee that the Venn diagram of psychopaths and executives at Fortune 500 companies is a circle.
It’s a bunch of bean counters seeing trends in the markets, seeing others cutting jobs and following suit.
Bull, bear markets, trends, the whole thing is fucked.
It’s spoken about like it’s some mythical, mysterious thing and the government can try to rein it in with their levers if they must as a last resort, because we mustn’t interfere with the markets unless the outlook is bleak.
Give me a fucking break. Is anyone buying this anymore?
The old rich fucks and their old rich fuck friends and their old rich fuck companies, investment firms, hedge funds, whatever else their wrinkly old hands can get on they will move in their directions as they choose.
They don’t lose at this game and they’re pulling away at an outrageous rate, they’re killing us and the planet while they’re at it. They don’t even have to. They don’t even fucking have to. The people who have the shortest time left here are trying to suck the most out of it before they leave and leave way less of it for the rest of us.
I don’t know when others will start getting mad, but it’ll probably be too late.
I really don’t give a fuck what Youtube is happy about
It’s a shame that Oculus was gobbled up by them, and a shame that they seem to be the only ones capable of making an untethered unit.
I’ve used the quest, and could take or leave the built in stuff, mostly leave, but the untethered desktop VR experience was something else.
I just won’t ever buy a Facebook product.
“The difference today is that 30 of the biggest economies have experienced very significant labor shortages — and we are seeing it everywhere,” she said, adding that agriculture, construction, health care and hospitality were among the sectors affected.
“Labor shortages”.
Let’s look for commonalities between those sectors.
Agriculture: long hours, back-breaking labor, little upward mobility, dangerous, long-term health issues, often terrible management
Construction: long hours, back-breaking labor, little upward mobility, dangerous, long-term health issues, often terrible management
Health-care: long hours, back-breaking labor, little upward mobility, dangerous, potential long-term health issues, PTSD, often terrible management, difficult patents (who are anything but patient)
Hospitality: long hours, little upward mobility, potentially dangerous, often terrible management, difficult clientele
So, when looking at a job market that has a shortage, people are no longer having to take these jobs due to failing to secure ones with better work descriptions, and they haven’t been prioritizing these for a long time.
The biggest reason is that people understand the risks involved with these jobs now, especially as a lifer. And they’re no longer giving lifer offers.
If you want people to flock or prioritize these jobs you offer more money. This is a negotiation between the general public and the job opportunities. The people with jobs to fill need to be competitive with all the other prospects a potential worker is considering.
If an IT firm that requires little to no experience is offering $15 an hour to start, those jobs need to be at $30. If that’s still not enough? Well the general public balked at the offer. $40. Keep going until people come back.
It doesn’t matter if there aren’t enough people to fill all these jobs and all the other ones, you need to beat them with competitive packages to get them to come. Then offer pensions to get them to stay.
It’s a negotiation and they’re losing and throwing a pity party then saying the government needs to bring in immigrants.
I’m not against the last point. Not in the slightest. What I’m against is treating immigrants as if they’re less than anyone else in the country. As if they’re brought in to do all the shit the people don’t find appealing.
They should be brought in as equals.
Less China bashing requires less actions that require bashing.
Netflix had it, lost it due to a more competitive landscape. Now they all have reached about peak saturation and are struggling to hit those massive numbers where people are doing it willingly, they they think they can strong arm people into it. Streaming is all about convenience. Can I sit on the couch and put on something relatively engaging for a few that seems relatively reasonable? Ya? Cool. The further you move away from that model the more people start to look elsewhere. Pirating has gotten a lot, and I mean a LOT easier, and that arm is only so strong.
I’ll build your shelves if you build my shelves
His face creeps me out so much. I usually try to attack the policies and not the person but it is just too much for me.
It’s like if Jason Bateman was cast in an oddball version of Batman where the Penguin was actually Isaac Asimov.
