Awesome. Hey, a sentence worth of privacy policy if a whole thing would be too much would make me feel better about given precise location. Definitely curious to try it though. Need to get it over a credibility hump though, I suppose. Which I hope is received as an honest opinion on the general state of software this year, because I don't have any specific concern about Arrow. :)
This is why we took business ethics & I know Dario had to too
How will your project/decision look on the front page of the Wall Street Journal? Well when a whistleblower reveals what everyone knows ($9b->$30b rev jump w/o servers growing on trees simultaneously = tough decisions), it's gonna be public anyway.
For decades we moved to a knowledge based economy, now we have perversely wealthy people saying they're coming for those jobs. The thought of 10s of millions of people with nothing to do but starve to death ought to scare those wealthy people.
> The thought of 10s of millions of people with nothing to do but starve to death ought to scare those wealthy people.
It doesn't, it won't, and it shouldn't. It's not explored in game theory and criminal justice tries to conceal this but the starving will kill and eat each other long before they organize and mob the wealthy.
It plays out in every prison riot, governmental collapse, and other condition of anarchy.
This idea that the poor will mob the rich is feel-good Hollywood idealism that has been wholly undermined by identity politics. The poor will sooner kill and eat you just because you're easier to reach.
If (1) many bright and very online people are going to lose their jobs, and (2) the response has not been mass unionization, might I rethink [1] a more likely future of work or rethink [2] the psychology of the average/collective knowledge workforce, or...
"where union" in short.
Perhaps the concept is too foreign for white collars, or on average folks think they'll be OK and it's the juniors who'll go... maybe too focused on immediate needs... a belief unionization is the wrong response... (and I'm not advocating for anything in particular btw)
A union has the power to organise one thing, to withdraw labour. In the industrial era, the threat of all the workers not showing up was a threat to end a business.
If AI does what is promised, to replace labour, then a threat to withdraw labour is only threatening the owners with a good time.
Unions doesn't give you power they just help you use what power you have. Unions don't help if you don't have any power, see Detroit factory workers, they were highly unionized but that didn't help them at all. And if you have power then you can start a union, so there isn't a reason to start a union early before you need it.
...and in America there are more guns than humans, and more potentially unemployed white collar workers than the police, military, and national guard combined.
Nick Hanauer understood this fourteen years ago. Very few others did. And despite him spending his own time and money to explain it in simple English, nobody in his peer group wanted to hear it -- his TED talk on the subject ... took several years before it was published. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
Zatanna is a DC comic book character. I’m not sure if either of us have even read comics, so not sure where that came from. For Kampala, when I started this I was trying Conductor for the first time. The generated workspace name was Kampala (the capital of Uganda). We even have a 3rd name. We actually incorporated as NoPoll. That one’s a bit less inspiring though lol.
They have enough money for a legal dept. so I imagine so. But it's a confusing choice IMO. Not just because thunderbolt but also because thunderbird as someone else pointed out. But maybe they are trying to make thunder their 'thing', like apple puts an 'i' in front of everything?
Are they convinced that claiming they have technical issues while continuing to adjust their internal levers to choose which customers to serve is holistically the best path?
