They also used the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force to prevent a strike. And they also have their own team that flies in at the first sign of an attempt at unionization with propaganda and threats of firing.
Musk can say " screw this " and move the entire operation out of California and into another State where the cost of doing business is much lower.
I don't know why he set up manufacturing in CA in the first place. If you have your pick of the whole country, you save a lot more on employees AND facilities by being anywhere else. I hear Detroit has a lot of space free right now.
It should be illegal for unions to require memberships and dues - its interference in a contract you have with your employer.
Which is why most union employer contracts are between the union and the employer directly. You can either work under that contract or not at all. At least in at-will employment states you can be fired for any cause. Not accepting the other contract is included in that.
However, if the unions disappeared, the laws would still be in place.
Given that our current President is trying to undo almost everything from the past 30 years of progress, these laws could easily be gone. You can't assume the future will always be at least as bright as it is now.
I'd be curious to know what is excessive? is it 5 hours per week? or 30 hours? Is this on an ongoing basis? Or is it infrequent?
Probably at the point where you could just as easily have another employee, hourwise. And if there's a large number of employees doing mandatory overtime, that's several new jobs being suppressed.
That's true almost everywhere in the US. Unfortunately, the extra income afforded by a dual income household has long ago massively inflated prices on everything so that it's more or less required.
And as a result, living alone on minimum wage is very difficult and so is being a couple raising a child on a moderate income without either 1) losing half your household income, or 2) spending half your income on childcare.
, since then I have not seen them do anything other than destroy companies, and do almost nothing for their employees
Agree somewhat. But the fact that there is a union is likely keeping conditions higher than if unions all suddenly disappeared and the employers had free reign to set working conditions again.
If only people could be happy with the union doing "nothing" and the union setting dues aside instead of spending them on lobbying and way too much staff.
Probably won't get awarded until after unionization happens. They can easily say he hasn't been paid because they gave themselves a window for plausible deniability.
Understatement. I've seen 20MP images scaled down to under 200 pixels high. And worse, they're straight off the camera and not even recompressed for web. 6MB images like this really eat through my mobile data, as I try to stay under 1GB.
Ad networks in general try to make it "easy" for web designers by giving them just a javascript to include. Then you can't pre-define the dimensions of that content block, making it block rendering until it loads.
That's AdSense (most likely). AdChoices is offered by multiple advertising networks as a way to set "preferences" to get more "relevant" ads (provide advertisers more data for their profile on you).
It's even worse if you are using your ISPs DNS servers. Each request involves a high-latency hostname lookup before the HTTP portion can even start. And for some reason, CDNs use a different hostname for every client's files - so the DNS lookup is never cached.
I don't mean send it as caller ID, but rather as extra metadata. That way, you can block further calls entirely. I suppose if it's a large call center, there's going to be a large block of numbers anyway. But a lot of these scammers are lone operators. I get phone calls every day on my business line from Houston, TX and Chicago, IL and I have no business with either area, vendor or otherwise.
And yes - I use caller ID spoofing every day to have certain outgoing calls from my PBX show up as my Google Voice number.
Providers should pass the ANI number down to the SIP trunk, separate from caller ID. Then the PBX would see the same number calling in each time on that side.
I know you automatically get that on incoming calls if you have an 800-number, but I don't know if it's possible with normal numbers or whether it's part of the SIP standard.
When you think about what they'll probably do with it, this makes perfect sense. If you've ever used Google Images' "Visually Similar" feature, it doesn't work all that well - especially when you're trying to find a higher resolution image.
If they can do a pseudo-reconstruction, they're partway there.
It's not fundamentally different from 4×10+4×1. And if you can define the factorial symbol and call it valid math, you can certainly define an operator that results in a series of multiplications to achieve concatenation.

What we need is new labor unions that operate much the same way as credit unions typically do.

The EPA is on the hit list too. After 46 years.

already require two incomes to make ends meet

I can't understand your post or the end of the original post. Whatever you're doing, it's not helping.

unnecessarily large images which get scaled

I think you can mark the dial-up connection as a "metered" connection and updates will not use it to download.

So you can dig that deep and instead of a volcanic eruption, water falls into a giant empty hole? I'm not buying that.
This stuff must really matter a lot. Less than 15 hours apart. A new record?

That's more than four 4s.
Factorial already breaks the rule by using integers less than 4.

How far can such stalling and obfuscating be stretched?
That's already being tested with just about every EO issued in the last 3 weeks.
