"Would U.S. tech workers join a union?" survey average: 67% likely
  • GM also has tons of union employees which has some impact on the non-union portion (i.e. better benefits etc), so seeing first-hand what unions can do for you might make them more likely to support one even if their current working conditions are great.

  • You Didn't Build That
  • "complaining" is a bad term. Being a teacher requires a bachelor's degree and often extra schooling on top of that. It's the equivalent of a professional with a degree and industry certifications. Where I live, a degree and certs is enough to get 70K straight out of school and easily over 100k after a few years of experience. There's absolutely no reason that teaching shouldn't pay any less than what someone with similar education would be able to get in industry.

  • Comenting code
  • If your company uses some sort of code checking tool on PRs, there may be a requirement that all functions have a docstring, even if it's obvious what it's doing. Leads to silly comments like this quite often

  • The best hill of them all.
  • AI has uses when it's not being rammed down peoples throats or used to plagiarize content (personal assistant/home automation type stuff is the first that comes to mind - I'd like to eventually set up a locally-hosted LLM based alternative to Alexa to control my house so I'm not relying on an internet connection for everything).

    Cloud is an essential part of a robust backup strategy, and makes it easier for the average person to create a web presence.

    Tesla, being an EV company, is still an important interim solution to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ICE vehicles until (hopefully) better public transit infra is built so people don't need to use cars as much. Not to mention it was the kick-starter for other vehicle companies to make EVs.

    Ads and paywalls: People gotta eat. You want to consume content that someone produces as their job? Pay them. If you won't someone else will, thus advertisements.

  • Exactly. I have "manual" HVAC controls in my vehicles right now, but I did have a car with an automatic one. I had that set for 21C 365 days a year, and it handled everything, including switching to defrost in cold weather. I did not touch the HVAC controls in the 3 or 4 years I owned that car. The manual controls need to get adjusted several times per trip.

  • GOP senator rages at CNN host because she correctly said his party blocked the IVF protection bill
  • So ‘the montage from the beginning of Idiocracy’ timeline? I mean, pretty sure we knew we were still 50+ years away from President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

    It can be argued that he was actually a great president in his time. He recognized a problem and made sure to find and enable the most qualified person to fix it, and actually implemented their solutions even if it pissed off the corpos
