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.

I’ve seen pro-life folks

Those people are NOT pro-life. They’re anti-abortion. It would be much better to use the correct term instead of pandering to the idea that it is about saving lives.

Pro life is not the right term. It’s much better to say you’re anti abortion than to pretend it’s about saving lives.

oh you watch videos and it’s hard to concentrate after a while? Welcome to actual driving jobs

Watching videos is comparable to e.g. ATC work. I don’t see driving as comparable. In one you’re actively doing something. In the others you’re only checking for stuff that might go wrong but usually goes ok.

There’s a significant difference in ATC vs the training AI: in ATC work people are swapped out after a few hours and they have regular breaks. While here for that AI the company is pretending it can be done for an 8 hour shift.

I have no doubt that we will likewise see the mental and physical effort of driving as well as the danger of it become as unconscionable as threshing or machine operator work is to us now.

Meh, that’s been said for ages. Currently the reliability of automated driving is often crazily overestimated. Human driving is pretty reliable, especially on highways.

Change for the better is good. But just because there’s a computer involved doesn’t mean it’s already better or that’ll be foolproof.

Only for certain people, likely based upon race. The usual rules for some, not for others.

The rich usually ensure that there are enough gigantic exceptions. And these exceptions often aren’t reported upon.

And maybe he believes the trickle down economy bs.
