That case could still be appealed and overruled. And then it could go to the Supreme Court, which would likely take years to resolve. Better to be safe than sorry, rather than hope that the case will stand. It also doesn't fix the prob

I can guarantee you this made more people adverse to the cause than for it. They did everything wrong, and many of the people who might have had a chance at trying to change things are out of Google and will not be able to do anything. It&#

But that assumes that Google would settle. Without that happening, you are looking at years before getting a result, thousands of dollars of attorney fees and a high likelihood that if they lost they would appeal. This might be more of an e

I see this all of the time, but without any evidence. Even your edit says they get a "butts in seat" tax break. But how much is that? I can very easily see the savings of remote employees being way higher than this tax break. You

While most of this comment is true, there are lots of youtubers that can make it full-time without getting millions of subscribers. The key is that you can't rely on adsense, you need to get as many different ways of getting income as

I mean, if they went after someone civilly, Twitter doesn't have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, only that there is a 51% chance it happened. So proving that someone downloaded all of the source code right before the leak would be

What references do you have for this? As I understand it, any quotas are also illegal, and this would be a quota. I think you might be confusing affirmative action programs with whatever might be happening at this hypothetical corporation.

The problem is with all of these new devices using AI related features. They all seem to decide that it's a good idea to use contractors to "verify" or "categorize" the pictures. There is always a leak because they

It's kind of sad to see so many people just take this story at face value. Is it really 1am? I could certainly believe it, but some random picture doesn't make it true. Also, even it is 1am, it's possible that work ended hour

PIPs require a tremendous amount of effort and work. It also doesn't guarantee that the person would be fired. There are many times where the employee might do just enough to get off the PIP, but still be a really low performer. It als

This isn't strictly true. I do think they are going to lose some number of the highest performers because they have options and they will realize they can go somewhere else. However, there are still people who are bad at their job and

The problem is that right now everyone is still looking to switch jobs. If you assume that recessions bring out some really talented engineers looking for jobs, that's not happening yet. A good company strategy would be to stop or slow

I don't know if the garbage can is good, but I found the last picture with the new garbage can in the foreground and a ton of garbage behind the can on the ground funny. This article is not very good, because it doesn't say what t

To be fair, you've fallen into the same trap. One person says they don't have a problem, you believe them and start saying the first statement must be misinformation. It's possible that both people are correct and the circums

How would you enforce this? In the US this is completely illegal. In addition, you would have to ask extremely invasive questions of everyone. So is your proposal that you require that your company ask for the detailed ethnicity of everyone

Oops, mixed up my terms. Thanks for the clarification.

I don't think this is even worthy of being reported on. There is a high likelihood of this being thrown out in summary judgement. You can't claim something without at least some facts that indicates that Apple was going to build a

What are you talking about? The media consistently write articles about ongoing trials. Think about some of the major trials recently, and you will find many, many articles about them before they are done. I mean look at the Elizabeth Holme

Yeah, remember when CNN threatened to dox someone? Remember, this is the network with Chris Cuomo, who was allowed to interview his own brother, giving him softball questions. The network where Chris Cuomo faked part of his Covid-19 quarant

As I understand it, Japan doesn't have any fair use provisions for copyright. So this is clearly illegal there. I do thinks it's stupid that anybody would bother to punish people who do this kind of thing though.

As much as Disney sucks, it looks like Redbubble is being overly aggressive in removing things that are kind of like Disney's Loki. The specific part: In most cases, this means that the rights holder did not specifically identify your

I said in my comment that I think that it might be that lock downs worked in certain situations, but not all. From your comment, it sounds like there is no amount of evidence that will convince you that lock downs are more nuanced than the

What evidence is there that this is true? The problem is assuming that no mask mandate means nobody wears masks. As the top poster said, people still wore masks, but it wasn't forced. I suspect this is true of a number of places that d

What evidence do you have that this is what happened? I do think that conservatives in California are definitely behind this push, but so what. Are they not allowed because they are conservative and maybe some powerful people are also pushi

This is just a few people explaining how they de-radicalized. Now imagine the opposite, someone with some slightly bad opinion suddenly finds themselves shut out of the main platforms because of hate speech rules. They now become more radic

That may be, but I think it's all for show. It's unlikely that anything will happen for years, and by that time there will probably be a different president. Look at the Microsoft anti-trust action, which started in the 90's

Hmm, the article is a little light on what I think is a bigger question. Are wealthier people leaving the state and being replaced by less wealthy people? They mention that the report found that the "movement patterns for wealthy areas

I think they probably mean that they get feedback from each person, then formulate an anonymous survey that goes out to the group.

The problem is that Google will be fine, but if a lawsuit takes an e-mail and uses it to say that this person is sexist/racist, or multiple people are sexist/racist, it could be bad for those people. Google will be able to provide

I'm not sure I understand your claim. Assuming she could get an exemption from an NDA, I don't think that means she can just grab all of the data she wants. Do you have some cases in mind where a whistle blower, or a worker was ab
