I always chucked at the jealousy argument, because it's just another way of admitting discriminatory pay practices. If people are paid the same for the same work, nothing to be jealous about.

I had a manager once argue that equal pay for equal work just inspires people to slack off. I contend that being joblessafter being fired for being a slacker is motivation enough to earn that equal pay by doing equal work.

So they are replacing gas stoves because of pollution (article notes it), but adding a bunch of wildly over-priced e-waste (WiFi stove? GTFOOH), adding random fire risk (Lithium-Ion batteries are notorious for this), and doing so at tax payer expense. Nice.

I feel like the $60M (plus labor/install costs) they will spend on these stoves for 10K homes would probably do a good deal of fixing whatever the reliability issues are, in the current gas environment, without wapping 10K stoves. We all know it's not "for the environment), it's "who knows someone on the board at that startup selling these stoves".

Man, been there. It's a dichotomy of their provisioning platform being antiquated, but their security requirements not giving a shit about that.

Yep, that's why companies try so hard to intimidate people into keeping that info secret. I think most if not every company I've ever worked for has had some version of

• It's against company policy
• It's illegal
• It will just create jealousy

And of course, my responses have always been

• Too bad, it's federally protected
• Liar
• No, your payroll policies do that; same job, same pay

I tried watching what was supposed to be a video comparing several linux distros. Instead, it was AI text to speech narrating over random images. Are people uploading this crap in an attempt to get a share of ad revenue, or just to be awful? I have to hope Youtube doesn't let this be fully automated, so people are doing this on purpose...

If it's a hoax, why does releasing the names even matter? Man, his cult is so stupid...

Still angling for that Nobel Peace Prize...

You know it's going to be successful when they go back to using antiquated productivity measurements like measuring based on lines of code in a time frame. We all know AI is fucking spectacular at generating overly verbose code.

I'm pretty sure these counts are in pages/images/etc. Not 1 milliions PDF's, but rather, 1 million pages in PDF format (example).

The regular size Cliff bars are smaller, too. It annoys me that they put all the effort into shrinkflation, but fail to revise the nutrition label.

Well, the magnet for the actual 60 Minutes segment would've been helpful, in addition to the other one.

That is so much work...
