Walmart's methods for tracking workers

jeudi 19 juillet 2018 à 02:00

Walmart has announced methods for tracking workers' activity.

If they change anything, they are dangerous — but it could be that more traditional methods could track all the same things.

As for the patent, I don't think that increases or decreases the danger.

President Lopez Obrador

jeudi 19 juillet 2018 à 02:00

US major media warn that newly elected Mexican President Lopez Obrador might cause disaster — for multinational corporations that dominate Mexico at the expense of the Mexicans. Decades of "gains" for those multinationals might now be at risk.

A citation that criticizes the dominion of the multinationals talks about "income growth per person", so I should point out that that's not a good way to measure how well a country is doing for its citizens. It's somewhat vague, but the most natural meaning would be growth in per-capita income, and per-capita income is a bad measure because one rich person with a high income can drive up the figure without making most people any better off. Growth in the inflation-adjusted median income would be a better measure.

Bill to encourage overfishing

Children still separated from families

The bully's men have returned about half of the small children that it took away from families back to those families.

The other half supposedly are "not eligible". In principle, it could be true, but I would not trust his agents to judge that.

Heat and reaction time

Unpleasant heat slowed down reaction time for students in Boston.

There is only one way to enable both men and women to feel comfortable in an office: set the temperature cool enough that nobody feels too hot, then encourage each person to wear as much clothing as it takes to feel comfortable.
