  • A couple of important caveats:

    Still, Johnson said face-to-face interaction can play an important role in helping coworkers build relationships, especially if they are just starting out in their careers.

    "Remote works better after you know people," she said. "So there is still a benefit of having some face time."

    So, it does rather beg the question, what should one do if someone is joining an existing team?

  • When it comes to the current leaders of the US and Israel, when a signature is no longer trustworthy, you need to either take assets or leverage hostage.

  • And it is this sentiment that will keep you voting for shysters and con-men and voting against your own best interest.

  • Fine words, but does he have the credibility to back it up?

  • In that case they would be locking down their subsidiary even further to just one client. I guess it all comes down to the plausibility of their argument for making this investment, rather than, say increasing dividends or ploughing that money back into other investments for the business. I guess they were able to justify the OpenAI investment along these lines. If I could hazard a guess, it would be something along the lines of:

    This is a new market. We need to get in at the ground floor.

    I suspect, OpenAI presented itself as a turn key solution to get a foothold in this brave new world and maybe steal a march on Google.

  • But Microsoft does. And those shareholders would want to know why money that could be going to them is frittered away on a startup that is constitutionally set up to leave money on the table.

  • Doesn't that go against Microsoft's fiduciary responsibilities to shareholders to maximize profits? At the very least, it would be contentious among the shareholders. Leaving money on the table? This is the kind of thing would need a very brave (or cavalier) CEO to risk a personal lawsuit.

  • The problem is it doesn't solve the core issue. What's to stop an AI data center buying up all the startup's stock and future stock also.

  • Yeah.. How much do we trust the Dems to fire that second shell?

  • Let's see if Trump will succeed in getting a foetus on the bench.

  • Except this terrorist has a bomb vest and is willing to take the whole world with him.

  • Citizens need something concrete to rally around. Protests that are ignored breeds apathy. I would be one thing if there was an alternative to the uniparty. Have you heard the tale of the three boxes?

  • "TACO Tuesday". One can only hope. The alternative is ghastly.

  • I wonder if there is any inherent defence against slop on Lemmy. I guess if an instance doesn't prune it's user base of bots, shills and other slop merchants, it could be black listed by other admins of other instances.

  • But as we know, for a large contingent of Israelis their ancestral link is Europe. And many are dual citizens. So, someone is swinging the

    go back to where you come from

    then that would be Europe. Arguably the Palestinians have deeper routes in The Lavant. With many of their ancestors being Israeli Jews before the majority converted to Islam.

  • It could just be an added benefit...

  • Not saying he wouldn't, but isn't Marshal Law part of the insurrection act? In any case, a foreign attack on a nation shouldn't be justification enough for an action of internal oppression. Again, I'm talking about a rational administration, here, not an autocratic dictatorship.

  • Trump can raise all the executive orders he wants. He just doesn't have jurisdiction on how states run their elections.

    This doesn't mean he can't cause trouble, though. For instance, maybe he can just order the USPS to not deliver ballot mail. Or worse, open it an substitute the ballot inside to one that's much more favourable to him.

    Obviously, if he does that the US can kiss goodbye to being a representative democracy.
