Correct.

It's an older Japanese measure, which ends up looking almost like inch measurements, but just off. The old guys that used it are mostly retired now, and so it should be with the tape.

I worked out long ago, that anyone using the term "base load" when discussing renewables can be safely ignored and will provide no new, original insight.

I did the same, WAY more than 4 years ago...Best decision ever.

She thinks she's special.because she oversees some big mining interests. Listen porky, you aren't special. Anyone left the same inheritance could make a couple of dollars out of that.

The whole stake should have been, and should still be, nationalised. The money going to public services, not private bank accounts.

...so you can bank on announcements citing ai led productivity gains, and then later as necessary survival measures as ai led productivity gains fail to meet expectations.

Rehiring later will be quitely done.

By then, the CEOs have met targets, given shareholders what they want, and taken their bonuses. Its literally win-win for those in the game. The rest of us aren't even pawns in the game, as pawns have some value. We factor as an expendable commodity.

The real problem is the makets pile in to the first company that does it, so everyone else by default has to join in.

The CEOs need metrics they can make pretty graphs to put in shareholder reports, so you end up with "use ai" mandates.

If share price goes up throughout any part of this process the CEO has made a "rational" and "correct" decision according to the people that write the CEOs cheques.

Layoffs arev the default cost saving tool.../cont'd

Pocket wifi and sims at the airport are the most expensive way to get data.

Go to an electronics shop, Joshin, Yodobashi Camera, BIC Camera, etc and you can get unlimited, 30 day data sims for about $30.

@ChrisMayLA6

the people getting what they want IS the worst outcome.

For them.
