How to tell the techs you’re lying without telling the client

🗄 or 🗃 come to mind.

This is not a solution it’s a workaround. Sleeping in cars is typically hard sleeping, which is still the problem.

Aren’t cars notoriously evil in NYC?

The bosses win if winning is continuing to manage the company poorly.

The shareholders lose since cruel treatment reduces productivity and weakens profit margins. It depends on how seriously the business controllers want to actually do a capitalism and create a product and turn a profit.

In actuality, yes, their job is to maximize productivity for the dollar spent, hence maximizing profits, and the best way to do that for most job pools is by improving the QoL of the workforce.

They likely do value control over productivity, but that’s not the job of upper management. A lot of jobs (the bullshit jobs ) are to fulfill a personal need for an entourage, the illusion of business activity. That is a – human – trait.

Our c-suite execs might believe it controlling the workforce is their job, though, if they’re inadequately educated about the current state of the art. Hopefully, their AI replacements will be more current and won’t be interfered with by the BoD or shareholders.

It doesn’t matter. Buddha is Buddha.

Disappointed this is a parody.

There are actual AI-based services to replace company upper management, and take it seriously, since AI in its current iteration is strong enough to manage companies even when its art is quotidian.

Mr. Whipple’s days are actually numbered.

Crunching does not work!

Instead, it reduces productivity to a fraction (often 10% of normal), countering any time added.

You want to improve your productivity, you make your workers happy. Make sure they can eat, have good healthcare, have adequate family life, etc.

We now have studies that counter the crunching myths and time theft myths.

It’s worth noting that none of these distressed investments are directly related to gaming.

The irony is thick and frothy, a magnificent head.

Plenty of judges won’t enforce a TOS, especially if some of the clauses are egregious (e.g. we own and have unlimited use of your photos )

The legal presumption is that the administrative burden of reading a contract longer than King Lear is too much to demand from the common end-user.

Kill their children from the original quote, omitted.

To be fair, Medea was righteous in the eyes of Hera. Not to be confused with media

Authoritarianism is far right along the spectrum, and liberalism is center, center-right or center-left depending on the specific tenets set by the movement. (There are multiple liberalisms out there.)

Neoliberalism as practiced by the US Democratic Party and the UK Labor Party is right wing.

A picture of exactly that, several swastikas dangling from nooses, would make a great cartoon or art-piece.

Maritime Christmas Ornaments if you want to be seasonal.

And then in astronomy, students are being forced to learn the Arabic names of stars (like Sirius, Deneb and Betelgeuse).

Because upper management is less checked, they make a lot of human choices, such as keeping a lot of bullshit job positions open as garden hermits (there for scenery, to look busy).

AI tasked with actually increasing profits may run the business better than their human counterparts.

This was the ironic outcome of the Twilight Zone episode The Brain Center at Whipple’s ( @WP ): After the labor was replaced by automation, the upper management was easily so replaced.

FOSS works on the premise of an angry engineer, that someone finally got pissed off about a problem enough to write a solution.

This so tracks.

All we need is for the communist government to say we like what you’re trying to do. Here’s an allowance for expenses!

Happy birthday,… Mr. President…

But can I chat with Good Shepherd Jesus, the young Dionysian, boyish, beardless, short-haired Jesus of women and lepers? (Contrast the bearded, long-haired, often blue-eyed imperial, Apollonian and sometimes white-supremacist Jesus of kings and churches)

(Jesus’ looks and depictions was a recent topic of Dan McClellan.)
