If I’m not mistaken Belgium had the approach that non competes are valid. However, if the employee cannot find anything else the company has to pay that person for the duration of the non compete.

Right to move? How is that arranged or made legal?

You’re talking about companies with offices in the US. I’m talking about foreign countries. E.g. Postnl (company without offices in the US).

How would a foreign country collect this in behalf of the US? No system has been setup for this by the US.

EU, UK and others have systems in place to make this possible. The US hasn’t.

In the EU similar stuff is promoted by companies wanting to profit from supplying the various required software.

Calc has loads of small papercuts (tiny usability issues) which added together make it quite horrible to use. It’s not polished.

Pretty sure Collabora (company) offers such services.

Thousands of nuclear powered ships manned by the whomever agrees to the lowest wage. This while ignoring the alternative fuels various vessels are switching to.

The tariffs are paid by the importers. It’ll negatively affect things in Canada.

Agreed, which is why it’s funny that certain crowds think gloves are magic.

Considering the cable was likely cut by just dragging the anchor over the seafloor, there’s not much to find.

Dropping an anchor isn’t done accidentally. There’s a pretty high risk for things to go wrong. Your assertion just doesn’t make sense. It isn’t “perfectly plausible” to drop anchor accidentally, nor is it to drag it for ages.

Ah, indeed:

Today, more than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers. This helps our engineers do more and move faster.

Sounds like bs to me, comes across as marketing talk to promote their AI offerings.

That’s the intention behind that back to work decision.

In Rotterdam (Netherlands) they’re replacing the sewage system. People get a letter that they’re responsible for the bit on their ground. In practice the city also handled the line to the house.

I don’t understand why in your area they’d not take care of that bit. With everything mostly open it should be much easier anyway.

That the city doesn’t promise anything is likely for things like liability and unique/expensive exceptions. But not doing that in practice, so strange.

Why do you assume the West? China often expands to other Asian countries. Or pretend to. E.g. after tariffs are applied to China you’ll often see a huge increase in intra Asia trade. Followed by different Asian countries heavily increasing their exports. Usually by hiding the true origin (tariffs are applied to the origin, not some transhipment place).

Wondering if you really meant that word or if it’s a typo.

A salary maximum (as per the article) of 79k USD per year seems low. This as the accident rate amongst longshoremen can be significantly higher than average. It’s often not reported on enough (at least in Europe) but significant injuries and deaths happen often enough. This partly because (obviously) a mistake has way more consequences on a terminal vs e.g. working in an office.

That’s a stupid way to eliminate efficiency

In case of port/terminal automation the workers usually do not benefit. So it seems pretty understandable that they’re against it.

In Europe there’s way more automation. Still, workers often tried to prevent it.

Have you had CPR training? What you stated isn’t true. Every second counts. But looking up instructions and seeing a easy video will still help massively.

im qualified enough to know better

Maybe if you make YouTube videos you’d achieve that.

Regarding experts, there’s so many topics where experts are ignored.
