Wait! Vatican recognized Palestine?!?

Either way if what Spain said is true and Europe becomes green as well, it would be pretty much US, Australia and Israel to not recognize Palestine

Well there are billionaires that do pump and dump. He just seem a decent human being 😃

Clearly misread the tone of the comment 😃 nvm

I have an hard time disagreeing with his post. What exactly outrages you? The stances on Trans rights, religion or gun control? Or maybe the fact that “woke” has no definition whatsoever (you may just say “you are a c*t” with the same intended effect)

That said, i share much more often Linus’ opinions than Elon Musk, Besos, Picai combined. Even in the open source community he is the most reasonable and balanced person, imo.

Should he take a “public speaking 101” course? Heck yeah! Does he make less of a reasonable person? Heck no!

Training a combat pilot used to cost (in early 2000, not sure now) 10M€ for a NATO member.

Find me a modern jet that costs so little. Regardless of what politicians say, human life has a price… and it is waaaay below a jet (even including the training)

As far as I heard (but I am not too familiar) the CEO is essentially never in the office.

Also, according to the video, the office is in California. People were arrested (and fired) in NY as well (where there is no such an office).

Yes, insubordination is the key point. But it’s also the key point of a protest. The take away is that Google doesn’t accept a protest (any more?)

Re trespassing: in the Google offices everyone can pretty much go to any office. They realistically didn’t break into but, sure, they were in an office that wasn’t theirs

Confidentially incorrect: at Google there is no clock in and no clock out (for employees, contractors is different). At Google you can work 1h per day or 20h per day you earn the same. Performances are assessed on the output not on the hour worked.

So, no, find another reason for which Google is right. Popular topic is “they disrupt other people work by making noise” (of course people can work on a laptop in another place because there is generally no special equipment at the desk but details) or “they destroyed properties… you cannot see in the picture but they destroyed millions of precious bacteria on the floor”

What year is this? 2008?!? Now we have Netflix and piracy is not a problem, right? Oooohhhh right they decided to kill the golden egg chicken but they still want the eggs

Regev then told the crowd, “Part of the privilege of working in a company, which represents democratic values is giving the stage for different opinions.”

Followed by:

A Google spokesperson said the employee was fired

Do I miss any logical step or a managing director just said that Google doesn’t represent democratic values? 🤔🤔

Problem is the amount of money in the fine. The fine is up to 10% of the global turnover for the first time (that is relevant). But if they get 1% they may just try in keeping in playing chicken with the EU

I don’t think the EU will be fine with this because it would be a precedent for every other big company for all future regulations

Except if the severance package is BS and they don’t find enough volunteers (but hey! They tried!) and people get volunteered

Like what? They have servers in Switzerland, they seem competent.

Anything that is based in the US is not privacy friendly by law (at least for not-US citizens, see why US will never be an equivalent country for GDPR)

Anything that is implemented/maintained by incompetent is not privacy friendly by NSA/hackers/you name it

At least in Europe, passengers jets are new because more fuel efficient at the “normal” speed. These old jets are then transformed in cargo where they go very slow so fuel efficiency goes up by other means (and the old jet is way cheaper).

This was a passenger plane so i doubt it was anywhere close to 50 years old

This! Encrypt at rest with the key handed off to the provider every single time you login is just a PR stunt

Here we are talking of very debatable definitions of “making sense” tbh

That’s called science… You know the thing that you publish on scientific paper. Nothing to do with lobbying… You know… Giving “donations”

If you stop putting fuel in your car, the first few miles are very cheap i must say…

I hear the general sentiment against billionaire and corporations but from game theory point of view what they are doing is the rational behavior.

The problem is not them doing this, the problem is that the system (judiciary system in this case) is not neutral as it is supposed to be.

The problem, though, is that it’s short sighted. If the workers are abused less and less business opportunities there are. In other words on the short term the corporations win, on the long term everyone loses.

A single billionaire, overall, can spend less than 1000 millionaires that can spend less than 10 ppl that make 100k/y

My first not embedded OS! Actually not… It wasn’t the hipster “warp”… Boy i am old 😅

There is a net effect in browsers and in rendering engines especially.

The more people use chrome engine (that is pretty much everyone except Firefox) the more web developers support only Chrome because… Cost/layoffs.

For this reason i make a point in using only FF (except for websites that already don’t work with Geko).

Monopolies are not good for anyone (especially with current Google attitude)
