Most commutes are under half an hour. Comfort over an 8 hour day will have a far greater impact on productivity than not sitting in a car for 25 minutes before you get to work.
They know that, they stroke their gun boners to that very thought.
Except the tyranny they're afraid of is someone coming for their guns, or "communism." But they don't know what communism is and aren't aware that the guns aren't the rights they're losing.
He's running out of inexperienced engineers to burn through. He statedv early on that he wanted to create a surplus of engineers to drive down the cost.
That cost being, paying the engineers' salaries.
I work pretty closely with a lot of young engineers. My work brings them in as interns, hires them, but doesn't pay them very well and after 2 years we have new engineers because they've all found better jobs. Saturating the market with talent really hasn't worked out the way he wanted it to, because as it turns out that's nothing new.
So now he's gotta find a new way to pay engineers less.
I have no issue sailing the seas, if I can't buy it an own it, then I don't see the problem in downloading it.
My mother hates Spotify and just wants to own her music and listen to like the 100 or so songs she likes, but absolutely cannot figure out how to buy them. She's not really technical and wouldn't pirate if she were.
It's all but impossible to purchase an mp3 anymore. Anywhere you can theoretically buy music does everything it can to lock you in to their ecosystem and prevent you from accessing your music outside of it.
First of all, Lemmy has a lot of users for whom English is a second language. So maybe don't be a jackass about correcting grammar.
Secondly, in case you happen to be in that group of people 'largest media company' in this context applies to their reach, and not to their actual size. They are 'large' because they have a large audience, generate a lot of revenue, and are worth a lot of money. LMG also comprises 10 different YouTube channels with maybe 10 billion views between them.
I suspect that there are multiple Borgs at different, distinct levels of advancement and organization, some so far removed from the others that they bare little resemblance.
You need to know that you've woken a desire for a crossover movie in me so powerful that I will forever live a life of regret that it will never be written.
I know a guy that still does that.
The average commute in the US is just under 27 minutes or so. So while those commutes do exist, they aren't typical.
