The more jobs that are unfilled (a "tighter" job market) means that employers have to raise wages to attract employees. It's pretty common knowledge in tech that the fastest way to a raise is to switch jobs. More jobs being available is good for workers.

 

Striking machinists at Boeing will vote Wednesday on a new contract proposal that includes a 35% pay hike over four years that could end a costly five-week-old strike, the company and union said Saturday.

I was trying to nicely tell you I did not appreciate it.

I'm just trying to provide more information for people who, like me, may have thought that their family might have been at risk because I bought freezer waffles.

As someone who recently bought Eggo waffles and was worriedly reading the article: you can keep your hands off my Eggo, it was store brand stuff that was affected.

This! Manufacturers were trying to lock people into their systems, just by different means. Reverse engineering a piece of low-level software (BIOS) so that you could run high-level software written for that machine architecture on different hardware was the main battle of the day.

Seriously! I was so relieved when I reached the end of the headline

[–] Rekhyt@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For some reason I read this headline as "NPR chief" and it was legitimately shocking to me that NPR would be run by someone so actively sadistic.

It being the leader of the NRA is much less shocking.

Yeah, and the justice who wrote that opinion was Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and it's a great read.

"Free speech" does not mean free from consequences.

I really dislike this phrasing because it does mean freedom from consequences, but only from the government, not private actors like these companies or the general public. The sentiment should really be "free speech does not mean freedom from social backlash" but I know that's not as catchy...

(Also, yes, free speech does have limits (e.g. hate speech, 'fighting words', etc).)

 

Normally I would shy away from posting a video instead of a text article, but I think there is something worth watching here.
