Intel doesn’t deserve anything. They deserve to disappear based on how they ran the company as a monopoly. No lessons were learned.

This is likely true in a vacuum, but US national security concerns means the US needs Intel.

I don’t use their software but if someone has they should be able to decompile it.

Let’s fix the problems causing the devolution to a low trust society instead of just layering on cameras and ubiquitous surveillance.

Maybe the people making grocery store clerks feel afraid at work shouldn’t be free to walk around causing trauma.

Freedom is not anarchy.

Have you ever been on NextDoor? A bunch of people are terrified of completely normal interactions because people look & sound different.

Too many elections are being influenced by the free exchange of ideas on TikTok -- best to shut it down if the U.S. corrupt government cannot control it. Who cares what the people think!?

It's not the free exchange of ideas if the CCP can put its thumb on the scale.

Thats cool for you, but I'm speaking from my experience about my team's productivity falling off a cliff. Employees that do work when in the office, but wont even respond to email for days when working from home.
iends · a year ago
If an employee cannot handle working from home then they can voluntarily return to office or be terminated for cause.

I’ve been leading a team remotely since March 2020 and have had no issues with my team that wasn’t cleared up after a quick conversation in our 1-1.

Let me know when you can find a work from home advocate that admits it is rife with abuse.

Until then, it all sounds like game to me.

iends · a year ago
You’re right.

I work far more from home on average. When I worked from the office I had so many interruptions. We’d also take Wednesday and Friday afternoons to play table-top games. There was table tennis and foosball. Sometimes we’d all go out for lunch and it’d take 60-90 minutes. Now I just eat lunch at my computer, I don’t table top game or socialize. I just code and zoom all day.

The abuse is real, but since I’m not commuting it’s a great trade off of an hour wasted each way.

iends commented on US FDA approves nasal spray alternative to EpiPen for allergic reactions   reuters.com/business/heal... · Posted by u/sweca

> ARS Pharma will offer neffy at a price of $199 for two doses via digital pharmacy sites like BlinkRx and GoodRx for eligible patients whose insurance plans do not cover neffy. Some commercially insured patients can access the treatment at $25 for each filled prescription of two single-use neffy devices through a co-pay savings program.

This is considerably lower than the non-insured cost of an Epi-Pen or generic equivalent[0]. Hopefully this spurs some competition and makes the whole market more affordable. I needed to use an Epi-pen in college, and though I never took issue with needles I'm glad than an alternative is available for those fearful of them.

(I didn't feel it. I was about to pass out. But I remember looking up from the floor while administering and seeing my RA terrified. He was so scared of needles that if I had lost consciousness, he wouldn't have administered for me!)

The cheapest generic is $110 without insurance at CVS for two doses.

(Sometimes you could need two doses in the event of an emergency, according to doctors.)

I know this because I've been buying them for years without use (thankfully), on the off chance my son has a life threatening reaction to eggs.

I think people are skeptical of the 50% figure. New employees joining a firm might make more than the current employees at the same level, but do they make 50% more?
iends · 2 years ago
The article is talking in aggregate over a workers lifetime.

This article is nearly 10 years old. Is this still true?
iends · 2 years ago
As a manager, it seems true to me. It's much easier to convince HR to pay $X for a new employee than to give a current employee a large enough raise to hit $X.
