Re:OpenAI announces leadership transition on Saturday November 18, 2023 @06:27AM (#38318241)
Or the simplest solution is that the he board is just as incompetent

The simplest solution is often the best. In this case, Sam did something that was so dramatically bad resulting in a high level of legal peril, which created an existential risk for OpenAI and Microsoft, or something in his personal life came to light that was beyond the pale. I love the AGI theories but in all likelihood it’s probably a boring thing: he made a terrible choice in his life somewhere and it’s caught up to him, with major consequences.
Re:UPS drivers in US to get $170k pay package on Tuesday August 08, 2023 @06:12PM (#37056151)
Context: I was a UPS drivers helper during college during the holiday seasons. This job entailed running large amounts of holiday volume packages to houses from the truck.

I speculate that this is because the role of driver is a high-trust and critical operations role. This person has to reliably execute package delivery every single day regardless of the highly variable problem spaces that emerge. Without the last X mile capacity that a driver brings, all of the infra at UPS doesn’t provide value. For example a driver wakes up early every day, rain or shine (or sleet), and is accountable for making sure a truck is loaded correctly at the dock, and every package on the route is delivered. This can include packages of diamonds insured for 10’s of thousands, to hundred plus pound boxes.

I only rode shotgun for a few weeks a year and it was hard work. From that POV it a seems like a fair wage for the role.

Some of the best reporting on this with actual data is coming from social media (as usual), versus from official sources. Here is someone reviewing the manifest of chemicals and number of spilled train cars: https://www.tiktok.com/@nickdrom/video/7199486059212868910

This headline is misleading as it appears HERE has no mobile application of any appreciable scale (#28 on iOS for navigation).
Thank you so much for posting this link! I had no idea there was an avenue for product features.
Like many others this feels bad to me. I was previously forced to upgrade to 7 so the Chrome extension worked and as a result purchased (again!) separate Windows and Mac desktop licenses. In trying to navigate the site to find out how to buy a desktop only client I encountered the multiple dark patterns to make this nearly impossible. It is no wonder that “97% of people prefer the subscription” since standalone was basically hidden. I love the product experience 1Password provides, I simply prefer managing my own vault (via Dropbox). Based on feedback here I’m going to evaluate Bitwarden. Sigh.
