How much longer are we going to have ice cream wealth in the United States. That ice box requires electricity, which ends up about a $100 USD per month charge. That is quite a hefty monthly bill. One I probably should have gone without.
There is another wormhole notion you miss. At one point we were drawing maps on flat paper. This distorted the map, and caused us to create inefficient routes that were not straight lines. The question is could the universe be not "flat". Folding the universe itself is something I'll agree is far-fetched and fantasy, but what if it is already folded? If the laws of the universe were such that everything had to flow as if the universe was flat, despite being folded, then it may be a mute point and a non-difference, unless we were to discover some means of mapping the universe which was not bound by relativistic and gravitic laws.
It is not the poor that must signal the needs, but the wealthy. The poor meet those needs in exchange for a small portion of wealth from those who have it.
When the wealthy do not have needs, the poor do not have work. When the poor do not have work, they have no income. When the poor have can neither fulfill needs by service or purchase, they have no value in the capitalist system to have their own needs met. Then they must either form a new nation and economy in unclaimed territory and meet their own needs, or die out, or revolt and seize the means of production.
Welfare is a system which allows those who are unable to contribute enough value to reclaim enough profit so that signaling for their needs to be met accomplishes anything, are able to receive answers to their signals by receiving compensation from the rest of the populace on their behalf. It is saying that we as a society recognize the need, and are not ignoring it to the point of requiring a war over "scarce" resources.
Maybe their McDonald's is a realistic estimation of the cost to produce, while the American McDonald's is a realistic valuation of the product itself. Thus the assessment js that it now costs more to manufacture than it is worth, and should failed as a business.
One of the biggest reasons it isn't enough time, is that most part time jobs are peak hours positions. Lunch hour for restaraunts, and the 3p-7pm time for most other businesses.
Additionally, fewer hours doesn't mean those hours will be on a strict schedule, and thus predictable.
If the hours are not predictable nor agreeable with the needs of the second employer, then a second employer cannot depend on the employee and/or that employee will be forced to choose between one job or the other.
The only way such works is to split the economy where office white collar workers' hours are reduced by half, to provide opportunity for other workers to gain an office position, and subsequently shift and split the peak time hours so each "shift" takes turns serving the other.
Not talking about Amazon's objective sith $15, but the objective which is sourced from the same criticism, the criticism that if people are paid to work, it has to be humane wages. We've been through this before with coal miners and the company stores, where coal miners worked for less than minimum wage, and incurred artificial debts to their employers who ran grocery stores on "credit"/"advances on pay".
It is then therefore the goal of the American people to hold accountable those who would attempt yet again to impoverish those providing necessary work for society to function. As capitalism run amock wants to do.
Jeff Bezos doesn't figure into calculations for Whole Food's profits. It likely contributes a negligible amount to his net worth. The value of Whole Foods is not in his salary, but in knowledge gained in brick and mortar business, which is a mature and highly competitive business category, which means tight profit margins that Jeff likely can't improve upon.
Open Source Socialism works on a pay it forward model (workers below living wage). Capitalism works on a pay it backwards model (costs are accrued and passed along). If one person is paying it forward to a CEO, and another paying it backwards, the benefits of profit are then centralized, no?
A worker working below the cost of living is subsidizing the business, typically in the hopes of getting a return on that investment, for entry level that return is in the form of training and experience in addition to some wages, so it balances out. Open Source is free labor.
Subsidizing via depressed wages unfortunately has a nasty side effect of potentially lowering the value of goods. If perpetuated it may be difficult to correct and return to a self-sustaining model, and thus may have lasting implications for the economy.
Amazon likely cannot legally subsize a grocer's staff wages as that is an ani-competitive business practice. Current capitalism requires that the business be able to survive and pay workers on its own merit.
But that lends one to wonder, how much of Amazon is "subsidized" by the Open Source community?
It is relevant in that the objective is a net improvement. Something that wasn't there before is expected to be there.
Reducing the hours worked negates the pay increase. Without the other negatives that is a net zero, a wash, a non-thing.
It is such because reducing hours does not necessarily free up those hours for leisure activities or a second job. 10 hours cut across a work week can be managed in such a way that it provides mere tens of minutes of extra value to the employee. One such way is to extend lunch periods marginally, or otherwise break up the shift. Reducing coverage only during the non-peak hours, between the peak hours. Thus the employee does the exact same amount of work for the same pay, and the same schedule. And may even be required to be on premesis for the same amount of time, even if that time is spent in designated break areas. Time spent in break areas is not time spent pursuing leisure activities.
Uhm, it sounds like Whole Foods is following industry standard practices.
Amazon didn't when they raised the wages.
Why quit and go somewhere else when the company that owns your company is under pressure to raise your standard of living, and operate a subsidary at a potentially anti-competitive loss for your benefit?
A very astute obersvation. Did that cut in hours result in more sporadic scheduling and this greater lock-in to their employer?
So we have the following:
* Raising wages is only beneficial if the hours, etc., remain the same.
* Cutting hours can be beneficial if there new hours are predictable enough for a second job, and as long as the second job results in better pay and career advancement.
* Raising wages at a brick and mortar subsidiary which cannot afford the raises on its own may have no effect or even negative effects. Due to attempts to compensate for the wage requirement when competing against competitors.
* Raising wages and then compensating by reducing hours but keeping the same workload and not increasing staff or adjusting benefit hourly requirements, results in worse worker conditions.
Which potentially constitutes a verbal contract, which may or may not override the legal contract being discussed.
The organization which provided the contract must be careful not to undo the contract with speech, and so it is best to let the person signing seek their own council.
DC Comics/The Justice League (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, Hawkgirl, Black Canary, the Atom, etc.) along with the "Legends of Tomorrow", and Constantine, and Black Lightning, would be like Coca Cola.
Marvel/The Avengers (Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, War Machine, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Spiderman, Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, Ms. Marvel, etc.) along with the "Guardians of the Galaxy", S.H.I.E.L.D, and the Netflix series (Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Punisher), and peripherally the X-Men and Deadpool, would be Pepsi.
It is one thing for an email to have arrived past a deadline, and to have been wasted. It is another for it to cause somebody else's email to be late. Pick one or the other, not both.
Some things are important to get right, and the deadline shouldn't be fixed. Late and past due deadlines are a thing for a reason. A game released without a rendering engine, or a player character model, might not be a wise move. Borrowing credit for a product, when you haven't even come up with an idea for the product might also be an unwise move. Setting a hard deadline for the funding of the business which expires regardless of whether the prerequisites are completed is a bit extreme, and complaining about delaying a milestone because a prerequisite milestone is incomplete as being "inefficient" is kind of nonsensical.
Either the author of the reply's time was wasted since the deadline had passed, or the email was late and the deadline had to be extended (and probably shouldn't have been so short to begin with, imho).
Lazy? That is honestly the claim that is thrown around, but I have no idea of the logistics of going "Green Acres".
I wasn't raised a farm hand. Those who need me don't live out in the fields.
I can't figure out how to support 20 people as a farm hand. Most rural communities have strong religious communities, and the Christian bible says in 1 Timothy 5:8, a man must provide for his own. These seem to be the same people against baking cakes for gays, so to live in a religious community with its insane rules, I have to make enough to feed, clothe, and shelter 20 people. Farm hand work just don't pay enough to do that.
You figure out the logistics of moving to a lower wage area, competing with robotic automation, illegal immigrants, and seasoned farm hands, and not get ostracized and demonized for "falling short of the glory of God", and failing to provide for 20 odd family members.
In the mean time I will play the hand I was dealt and do my best to fulfill the role I have been assigned on the team I am on.
"Treat open source software as the infrastructure that it is".
That ain't the nonsense you spouted AC, that is highlighting that open source is infrastructure, like roads or the internet. Things that a country needs to function. Infrastructure can only bear so much load without breaking down. Ever see roads that prohibit 18 wheelers or other vehicles over set capacities? Ever had some bloke saturate the wifi or cable internet pipe and keep you from browsing the web? Ever had a fat guy sit down and break a chair?
Businesses are fat guys sitting in open source chairs without spending money to reinforce them. And those fat guys complaing when the chair starts making noise before the chair breaks and crumbles or otherwise deposits the fat guy on his rear.
Is Open Souece a job or a hobby. Why worry about a spiral which primarily impacts businesses who don't want to allocate resources towards anything. Cut off the leeches and go back to enjoying the hobby. If it is a job, make sure you get paid, do like New York and evaluate the entire cost and be willing to say no. User burnout is another term for giving abusers the shaft. You want something done, you make it worth my while, or I will simply go back to spending my free time doing what I enjoy.
Uhm, first one with 900+ vulnerabilities is Debian. What they don't indicate is what branch or branches of Debian is included. Debian is not a single release, but a system. There is the "stable" branch, which is supposed to be secure, and is akin to Windows 10 LTSB (or Windows 7). There is the unstable branch which is more current and akin to the Windows 10 Deferred channel. Then there is the Testing branch which is akin to Windows 10 Insider Preview, and isn't expected to be secure.
The question is whether these 900+ vulnerabilities are 300 duplicated vulnerabilities for each branch, or whether they are more heavily biased towards the testing or stable branches.
Once you get past Debian and Android, the next ones are at around the 300 mark, and Windows 10 is in the top ten.
And if you really want to compare Linux, not that RedHat Enterprise Linux is much further down the list than even Windows Server, much less Windows 10.
1. Just because you pay for a service, doesn't mean that service isn't collecting or reporting data.
2. Capitalism is about competing on costs. If you pay for services then you are increasing your cost of living, and subsequentially your "minimum wage". This reduces the competitiveness of your wage in the marketplace, or at minimum reduces the flexibility and growth potential of your spare change after bills. This may not be a problem if your skills are rare enough you can command a salary sufficient to absorb the cost of what you expect is data privacy, but that is a high cost for those lined up for $15 per hour Amazon jobs.
There is also the matter of data interpretation. The data while not guaranteed to be right, can be right and the use and application of that data, the interpretation of that data, can be wrong. Machine Learning can be trained on data sets that miscategorize information.

XP was the worst OS in my opinion. I actually switched to Linux because XP sucked so badly, and didn't switch back until Vista was released.

Its not how business works, its how human compassion works. Its about how a different model of social theory works.
Probably anti-competitive and illegal though.

This isn't vindictive, this is market economics.
Amazon is being greedy and foolish, not vindictive.
Amazon can afford pay raises, Whole Foods cannot. This highlights the state of our economy.
A very astute obersvation. Did that cut in hours result in more sporadic scheduling and this greater lock-in to their employer?

Are those benefits flat or tiered? Do they receive the same benefits, without adjusting for hours?
Which potentially constitutes a verbal contract, which may or may not override the legal contract being discussed.
