isn't the american problem more like needing to cover sprawling areas where you pretty much plop down more bus routes and more buses because the density for subway or light rail just does not exist

density exists in select places but there's no will from city governments to invest in real infrastructure, let alone just infrastructure maintenance, in said areas.

the suburban sprawl is its own issue but funding for that can come from the state which makes it more palatable for some

an artifact was recovered from deep space

nestled within unrecognizable wreckage of exotic materials was a simple thin disc plated with gold

a long, thin spiral groove was carved into the disc's surface

microscopic variations in the geometry of the groove encoded an elaborate payload of information

a message, and system of messages

this was once a powerful culture

this was their legacy, left to us

after careful scanning, this pattern was reproduced as vibrations in atmosphere

the disc's ancient, alien voice intoned incomprehensible words that nonetheless managed to convey a palpable sense of dread and disgust:

The team that sent the pissy rto email intentionally excluded our managers and skips, and I’m a relatively senior guy here (L6 in Amazon speak). We got the email directly and they were notified after. It caused a huge stir and my manager said that was a miscalculation on their part but I think they knew exactly what they were doing: they were signaling that your manager can’t save you from this, you have to come in.

When they had those layoffs months ago those people were not selected by their managers, the names were handed down from on high. So the idea that Amazon has some list of people they’re gonna fire based on attendance with no direct manager oversight is a real concern to me

so im hearing reports that this year the grace hopper conference, meant to celebrate women and nonbinary people in tech, is somehow full of undergraduate men who are pushing, shoving, cutting in line, etc to get the chance to speak to recruiters. there are videos of hordes of very male presenting dudes waving resumes at recruiters, not a woman in sight

probably doesnt mean anything about the state of the tech industry :allears:
