despite overwhelming opposition from union members

It sounds to me like the author needs to look up “overwhelming” in the dictionary.

I like how this is posed as a question even though the CEO is supposed to be responsible for the company’s fortunes by default. That’s why they’re paid so much, right?

IRS Free File.

Fun fact: Trans-Siberian Orchestra was born out of the band Savatage.

The unanswered question is: what are we going to do about it?

Unfortunately the answer looks to be: Not much.

I was in southern Bavaria last summer and I so wanted to find a stranger.

Well, no shit. Who actually expected the Israelis to stop killing people?

Arizona House allocates $1 million to sue for the right to drain the Colorado River dry so that people can live in the fucking desert.

I’ve literally been pulled over for doing doughnuts (in a parking lot) before.

Weird how the rules don’t apply to them.

Fascism. That’s what’s going on.

I interviewed a bunch of years ago with a company called “xmode social” (I was in desperate need of a job. I fortunately did not get that one.) They had a framework that they paid app publishers in to include in their apps. That framework collected your location data and sent it to xmode who sold that data. That was their entire business AFAIK.

There don’t need to be any shared features for companies to include shit like that in their apps. They just need a way to make the line go up.

Objective–C is a strict superset of C. Anything that’s valid C can be used in an Objective–C file.

The word they’re avoiding is “suppress”. It needs to be suppressed because they don’t want anymore CEOs getting what they deserve.

Trump: Ok, how about Ukraine declares unconditional surrender and Zelensky is hung in Red Square.
Putin: No, not got good enough.

I work for a major US bank. We use AI for a lot of stuff, but not for determining if someone should be allowed to open an account.

Banking is a heavily regulated industry and there are federal “know your customer” rules that we abide by. They exist for a variety of reasons which mostly all boil down to anti-money laundering.

The problem with him is that he doesn’t uphold his agreements. Combine that with him thinking that the President is King and the US is an extension of himself means that you can no longer trust the US to uphold its agreements. So, no we are no longer allies in any way that you can count on. I’d suggest that Canada pay lip service to the “allies” bit, but not count on it in any way.

There hasn’t been a new Silo book since the third one came out, several years ago.

There have been a couple short stories. One written by Hugh Howey and another written by someone else.
