It’s just how they word layoff and severance package. In Japan voluntary resignation can be also entitled for severance package depending roles/duration of employment, and this gives larger package than regular voluntary resignation is entitled to, to make them resign “voluntary”.

I think they can retain customers’ past flight records and maybe list of media played in flights. That said it’s almost guaranteed some ad marketing corpo is behind, and EULA is always vague enough to allow sharing external party…

If this direction gets momentum, I’d expect nostalgia-bait classic “reboot” flooding the market as much as current franchise milking. Am I too pessimistic?

And all the mining waste are dumped in space, where people thought out of human’s reach so it’s safe to leave it there, until proven otherwise. I may be pessimistic, but if such technological advance made it will likely expand region of human activity and thus history repeats.

If there’s something to mourn, I’d say the lost oppurtunity to have him procetuted (there was a trial about financial fraud at that time).

What I hear is mostly water pipes. Commercial buildings have them concentrated in bathrooms and hard to split for each residence.

I know there are bathroom less really cheap places but that attract type of people which property management/urban development corps dont want so they may also be reluctant for that change.

Your own learning resources + Anki.

However, this requires significantly larger amount of work compared to said learning apps, which has establisged learning course in form of easily digestable chunk.

You need to digest textbook and such on your own into small chunks, then Anki cards. It’s essentially building course by yourself.

Fluent Forever from Gabriel Wymer gives some idea on how to utilize Anki, though the author moved to build his own closed source app.

Octopuses too. Excellent problem solving, retaining long-term and short-term memory, recognizing how mirror works and so forth.

But they’re delicious.

IP certainly means protection, though it favors big corps than individuals.

I’m all for those creative professionals. I get why people are upset about their work being used without their consent, especially from people who contracted to provide their work. It’s been used to exactly cut such jobs against them.

But to combat the situation tighting IP law doesn’t seem to be the right tool.

Artists, writers, creative professionals arguments on generative AI being copyright infringement is moot. They should simply rally with underpaid third-world AI training (tagging) personel to ask for labour compensation, maybe proposing continuous micropayment for individuals.

I used zoom for some hobby online meetups. The majority used zoom. I’m assuming that it’s organizer’s choice, which they’re familiar at work. I’d love to spread a word for FOSS alternatives, but sadly I’m not the person organizes events.

The thing is for most people zoom is equivalent of video conference. Zoom has soared its publicity in WFH era, and Zoom decides to (like every corporation does) utilize it, milking every possible profit from it.

IMO whether we’re fucked or not is not a constructive argument.

In either case, the interpretation of climate change can lead to the same conclusion: a) we’re fucked up to the point of no return. So we can keep our wasteful society as is until we extinct, because changing our society will not achieve anything. b) we’re not in that bad situation so we can keep our wasteful society as is until the situation gets really bad and requires change.

Anything could be used to justify not making changes and majority of society/indistry ppl in power are super resistant to it (which likely reduces their profit).

In reality, it’s not black and white. Even if the ‘no return’ scenario is real, we can still lessen the climate change effect or delay catastrophic end if we make changes now.

AC could die all of the sudden too. One of my friends had it last summer in Tokyo, had to spend week w/o AC. It happened when he was awake in the morning, but I heard other horror stories of AC stopped at night and waking up with severe dehydration symptoms.

If it only drives the far-right, does that mean Facebook contributed shifting in window of discourse? (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window)

They added chronological, follow-only feed in recent update. Would you return if they have it now? How much ppl returning will be an indicator of its future.

Using engagement for metric will ofc render algorithmic feed “better”, i.e. addictive. Their value is not about mental wellbeing.

And not some random snakes around there, it’s the exact same snake.

Give a proper first aid for minor injuries. People tend to dissmiss minor burn/cut/bruises, but first aid right after it is what minimizes lingering pain,.
