> UAW President Shawn Fain announced today that the union’s strike authorization vote passed with near universal approval from the 150,000 union workers at Ford, General Motors and Stellantis. Final votes are still being tabulated, but the current combined average across the Big Three was 97% in favor of strike authorization. The vote does not guarantee a strike will be called, only that the union has the right to call a strike if the Big Three refuse to reach a fair deal.

meanwhile, all the employees are paid via a profit sharing scheme. 98% of them are backing Altman because they don't want to see their compensation nuked.
What? They have a MASSIVE reason to worry: 3/4 board members are clearly not aligned with the profit motive. And D'angelo has a massive conflict of interest with monetizing their models.
They want FB to introduce a subscription model so they can rake in that sweet 30% commission.
I am in favor of more consumer options, always prefer subscriptions to ads/tracking, and am a huge fan of Apple products. The issue is more that 30% commission is extortionate imo.
You can (and should) monitor page load performance... using JS
Why does that necessitate disabling all JS? You can enjoy the performance of an SPA while selectively disabling tracking.
Got it, watching Netflix in Chrome without the laptop getting hot is "a niche inside a niche" while GPU intensive 3d graphics workflows are mainstream.
You see this kind of vague claim online all the time when it comes to COVID but with no actual data.
What are the actual risks of a child going to the hospital as a result of COVID infection? How does that compare to other risks that you regularly expose your kids to?
US median household income is $61,937.
Facebook claims they're doing this with the facebook.com redesign, for example: https://engineering.fb.com/web/facebook-redesign/
const fetchData = () => {
setLoading(true);
callApi()
.then((fetchedData) => {
setData(fetchedData);
onSuccess();
})
.catch((err) => setError(err))
.finally(() => setLoading(false));
};
useEffect(() => {
fetchData();
}, []);
useEffect(() => {
setLoading(true);
callApi()
.then((fetchedData) => {
setData(fetchedData);
onSuccess();
})
.catch((err) => setError(err))
.finally(() => setLoading(false));
}, [onSuccess]);Funny you bring up Fedex: https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/02/business/fedex-washington-red...
>Baumeister’s group has repeatedly found that an effort of will or self-control is tiring; if you have had to force yourself to do something, you are less willing or less able to exert self-control when the next challenge comes around. The phenomenon has been named ego depletion. In a typical demonstration, participants who are instructed to stifle their emotional reaction to an emotionally charged film will later perform poorly on a test of physical stamina—how long they can maintain a strong grip on a dynamometer in spite of increasing discomfort. The emotional effort in the first phase of the experiment reduces the ability to withstand the pain of sustained muscle contraction, and ego-depleted people therefore succumb more quickly to the urge to quit.

I don't think the author is arguing you should NEVER be outraged, just that you should be more selective about your attention.
