Meh.

It was starting to look like the specific trade secret claims were going to be hard to make stick, but at the same time, hugely embarrassing for Uber having a long drawn out case of them looking like assclowns, constantly having "mycrimes.txt ;) ;)" texts and emails entered into public record.

Also turns out Levandowski was a huge useless assclown and Uber's robot cars will be solidly in the Tesla poo poo-tier for years to come.

So... stalemate? Lawyers probably won big $$$ .

does this even loving matter to investor story time?

some jobs are unions, some aren’t

like say the guys working in the factory are unions. the receptionist might not be (non union worker); the plant manager definitely isn’t (management)

now you might also have the factory operators be part of one union, while the maintenance workers are part of another and facility maintenance is a third.

each of these unions might have multiple CBA, say one for the teapot extrudor operator and one for the teapot polishing guys

works fairly well in practice

receptionists and admin assistants at my workplace can be union

they should just make it easier and cheaper to become a doctor too. pay should figure itself out as supply meets demand.

my wife was part of the team that implemented digital charting at the hospital she works at. the amount of bitching and feet-dragging performed by the doctors was loving shameful.

my mom, who works at a much smaller hospital an hour or so away, faced even more pushback.

lol, most doctors that did rounds inpatient where I worked as a transporter didn’t even follow proper c-dif or other infection protocol. and got mad at nurses when they pointed it out

feels like there's a weird disconnect with smoking weed in peoples heads too; like I was hiking through saratoga gap a month or so ago and there was some cyclist taking a break and chatting on his phone in the rest stop/"viewing area" at the 9-35 intersection sneaking in pulls

that seems a little counterproductive man

maybe people like to enjoy their leisure activities instead of min/maxing efficiency

pls don't even mistake what I'm saying into "all jury nullifications are good"
there's the form of jury nullification where the jury interprets a criminal statute, appending ", except if they are a cop".

the form of jury nullification that people like to hold out as Morally Good is when a bunch of jurors agree that the law under which the accused is charged is bullshit, ergo no conviction even if the facts prove beyond a reasonable doubt

techbro coworkers were just talking about welfare and how they had to file for unemployment after their last job went under, and were shocked, shocked to find out that applying for and keeping unemployment is unimaginably hard.

conversation went on for a bit, started talking about how it's all specifically designed to gently caress you, how even if you get benefits they abruptly cut off the second you start making over a certain amount of money so you have an incentive not to succeed, most of them were in agreement that "poo poo's hosed" but one of them followed it up with "well maybe if people just took more personal responsibility and stopped relying on the government..." i reflexively responded with "dude i'm going to loving punch you in the face," he laughed and went "ok ok" and thought i was kidding. i was not kidding.

how can you simultaneously complain about how haaaaaard it is applying for unemployment for your fuckin' six figgie rear end and then turn around and say poor people just need to bootstraps harder, jesus christ what is wrong with some people aaagh

you know which poor people he’s talking about
