Instantaneously? I wonder what kind of noise would be made by the simultaneous formation of billions of vacuums and pressure waves? And how loud would it be on aggregate? And would it be enough to wake those who were asleep at the time?

This doesn’t really sound that oniony.

“If an employee’s loss of earnings resulting from official guidelines is to be compensated, it could be done with a separate daily allowance solution, for example,” Rytkönen-Sandberg said.

The tldr (or at least how I’ve read it from the summarized non native language article) appears to be if a government warning results in lost work hours, a public program should be on the hook for compensating citizens for lost wages instead of the employer (the people saying this advocate specifically for small to medium businesses). That’s not really very different from how some countries handle sick pay (the first few days might be covered by the company, but then a public institution takes over covering wages for absences longer than a couple days).

Imo, the part of this whole controversy that’s really been danced around is how much of the disputed $250m bonus is developer bonus and how much is executive bonus. I would be very interested in more details around this breakdown and eligibility if anyone has seen it.

As far as I’ve seen, the only indicator that this was anything other than an executive bonus dispute was one executive claiming they were totally going to share it with the rest of the team after the shit went down and the story was in the press. Sorry if I find that claim less than reputable. What Krafton did was undeniably greedy and illegal, but how worked up am I supposed to get about executive payouts? It seems like the other employees weren’t in the sale language at all, and there’s a very real possibility they may end up getting larger bonuses now that the executives have resorted to using their development team as a tool to garner additional public sympathy.

Plot twist: the feeling of outsmarting the system is incentive for kids to try. Big tech company gets biometric data from both successes and failures anyway. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

I mean… the point still stands. It also makes it’s way into the sea as acidification even if it’s burned first.

Where is that money even going to come from?

Redirecting wages and benefits from individuals

Give it time. War aint over yet.

The articles you linked don’t seem to have anything to do with your comment. Afaik, at least 2 people died in protests against the revocation of a single group’s special religious exemption to military service. The parties that were at the forefront of those protests still support Netanyahu and if either of them stopped supporting him it would be enough to turn the ruling coalition’s majority.

The bailout is the government purchasing shares at about to go bankrupt prices. It’s a reasonable take that isn’t even really a change in the system.

Unfortunately there’s also civilian collateral damage when they aren’t fighting each other.

Fiduciary duty is just white-collar-washed sociopathy.

tbh, that also tracks with it…

As of 1 month ago, his employees are not shaved… so unless he’s had a complete mental breakdown since then, probably satire.

So DC, being a federal territory, historically was governed by leaders picked directly by the President. In 1973, Congress passed a law providing for a popularly elected Mayor and a board of District Councilmembers.

DC governance is in those parts that “went missing” from Congress’ version of the Constitution.

To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of Government of the United States

One of the most surreal experiences in my life was riding in an ambulance in Norway and having the EMT sheepishly explain that while the ambulance ride was free, the ER visit was going to come with a bill. He was equal parts embarrassed and indignant about it. The bill was the equivalent of $25.

Others have pointed out siblings, but it’s also worth noting that, in the context of your comment, sisters and brothers is more correct. Sibling is more clinical and might be used in a description like “I have 3 siblings, 2 brothers and 1 sister”. When you are addressing a group, the more familiar brothers and sisters is appropriate. “May the force be with you, siblings” would be very weird.
