The headline suggests they didn’t, but they did protect jobs.

The union stopped even more layoffs from happening. They stopped a 10% wage cut, and the jobs that are being cut won’t be immediately cut as planned.

This provides employees more time and more salary to find a new role elsewhere. The unions had to accept the reality of the situation, they would all be out of work if the company folded. They did win much fairer treatment for the employees than they would have had otherwise. They also got more support from the goverment to keep the business running and keep factories open than the business could get alone.

Unions work and this wasn’t an exception. In fact the union probably benefitted the shareholders as they produced an outcome that is more sustainable long term than the business leaders and shareholders would have chosen without the threat of strikes.

China up to all the same fuckery as Russia. They’re actively involved in supplying weapons and evading sanctions with Russia. They aren’t doing Europe any favours.

A court would only have to prove that a competent sailor would notice. You couldn’t argue they weren’t competent sailors due to the fact they sailed across the world professionally. If you could argue they weren’t competent sailors, the most reasonable solution would be they were incompetent spies.

It’s not excusable to drag a anchor for 100s of miles, it’s a difficult thing to do. Even if they didn’t cut cables they could still be liable for environmental damage.

They sold a bad product that needs fixed, bad software shouldn’t get an exception. The warning icons were probably not compliant and should never have left the factory.

It’s worse than that, people will argue shipping good code is impossible. Good testing is hard, so it’s avoided for things like unit tests. Something that’s only equivalent to basic QA in manufacturing. Every software functions is a design change and the system needs to be fully validated and tested. That’s means driving the car, and not shipping the code and using the users cars to prove your design.

Broken software shouldn’t be accepted as much as it is. Especially in safety critical systems like cars, especially when they remove manual controls for things like steering, brakes, hand brakes and door handles. Fly/drive by wire is more dangerous when the software is unreliable. Mechanical linkages fail immediately or take a long time. Bad software fails in uncertain and potentially chaotic ways.

They couldn’t argue it was the Uncles responsibility to tell the child. The Uncle was told, and would also have been told to not tell the child. They set out to make the child believe they got the PlayStation because they wanted the reaction from the child.

Don’t think controlling the phase of such high power lasers is feasible, high frequency makes this harder than radio waves. These lasers are often fibre optic, which are easier to pump to very high levels without overheating. They are then combined to get even more power. Trying to control the phase across many lasers with very long path lengths before the output would be incredibly difficult.

Their isn’t one way to make a flat head screwdriver. Some a chisel and some are slots. The slotted ones are better but more expensive.

Both still slip from the screw and are a pain to manually screw (slotted less so).

Pozi is the best + type screw. It’s pretty much standard for UK construction. The only time a different type is used is sometimes Phillips for plaster board or external hex and internal torx for long or large screws.

The need to transcode is based on the media formats supported by the tv. Only Sony and high end LGs have the right support to play blurays. Some tvs struggle to play files that have many different subtitle formats embedded in them as well which is also common for Blu-ray rips.

The subtitles will be the first file in the list of the media unless you select regular subtitle language in the menu under playback under the account symbol in the top right hand corner.

Lots of business logic can contradict the business logic that is applied to government. Often because the people applying it aren’t concerned about efficiency at all, they just want to steal or disempower the government.

Often the government is encouraged to outsource or privatise its services. The most efficient businesses don’t do this. They are vertically integrated, Starbucks makes their own cups and this leads to more profit as they don’t lose out on paying for the cup manufacturers profit. Therefore the government should look to own most of their services not outsource or privatise them.

Highly efficient business use extra cash to invest in the business, to make more money in the following years. They don’t cut and stripe services, unless the business is failing. Therefore the government should use its cash to make its services more effective in the longer term.

Government can be capable and competent. It’ll never be the case when we elect people that think government is inherently inefficient. Ideally everyone gets one vote and so we all have an equal say in how the government handles things. When the government is weak each individuals power is weaker and wealth becomes a bigger factor in how our society is run. I think this is the prime motivation of neoliberals, less liberty for the individual (working people) more for liberty for money.

A good contrast to the approach of delivering government services in the UK is Scotland. Water supply in Scotland is by a company that the Scottish Goverment owns. People in Scotland use more water per person than the rest of the UK, the quality of the water supply is the highest in the UK and the price is the lowest. At the end of the year the Scottish goverment often gets money back from Scottish Water. In England the water companies require heavy subsidies, pollute water ways at a higher rate, limit water due to droughts (their is enough water just the amount of leaks causes this to be lost) and charge based on metered consumption. Privatisation of water doesn’t work for most people. Now in England the water companies have people over the barrel. To such an extent they can extort the tax payer for their poor performance. Business logic wouldn’t tolerate this. They would not source water from such businesses and would become their own supplier if they had the capital to do so.

A glass may have a spec that allows it to be filled to the brim. Doesn’t mean it’s a good idea, especially when you want to run up stairs with it.

Your going to spill water everywhere.

This was caused by lowest bidder decision making. Along with a tolerance for critical systems designed, developed and manufactured outside of North America and Western Europe. If a country doesn’t have a history of liberal democracy, they can never be fully trusted.

Because there are so many small parts to a processor you need 99.99+% at most stages to stand any chance of mass production. In this context 60-70% is seriously impressive. Millions of things have to be done right to get this type of yield.

I assume M$ take procurement out to the best meals.

Your not doing your own research. Your likley not capable of doing such research. Your doctor also isn’t doing their own research. Your doctor does take the knowledge and guidance from those that do research after they’ve done it and it’s be reviewed and validated by national healthcare standards agency.

Much like documentaries much of the available information online that’s accessible and engaging is just entertainment wrapped packaged like your learning something. Especially when your sources lead you to think herbal medicine is a better alternative.

The stuff that works in herbal medicine have been studied and improved in modern medicine. The two can’t and shouldn’t be equated. Anyone claiming herbal medicine should be respected and not condemned is a crook and/or idiot. Most proponents are crooks, trying to sell things they know or don’t care if they work.

Things like paracetamol and lithium have a basis in herbal medicine. Paracetamol was improved to stop the horrendous damage the herbal medicine did to your kidneys. Lithium was quantified and controlled to minimise the impact of taking a toxic mental (Lithium was sold as natural healing waters found in springs, it was scientist investigating these waters that identified lithium as an element), newer less toxic medicines are now available for these conditions.

Medicine displaced herbal remedies. The regulation of medicine means the only practionationers of herbal medicines are unregulated crooks.

That’s just the state and the states employees civil servants. You’ve made a new definition and claimed something exists because you’ve subverted the meaning.

Politicians don’t, and never have run government. That’s not their job. The job of a politician is to decide legislation and policy of the state. This is carried out by civil servants.

It doesn’t seem in the ISPs interest to pursue, they would just lose customers. Unless they also provide cable/satellite television services.

In this situation a hub is still better. You can pack all the stuff away plugged into the hub for easier set up. If your plugging that all into your laptop, you’ll need to plug it all back in again when you move.
