The article isn’t talking about taking the end product, it is about North Korean’s involved with the movie’s production by providing low cost manual labor for animating or ‘drafting’ the images for the shows (and then presumably a portion of this income is fed into the state). They’re not supposed to be doing this, but have identified ways to get jobs passed to them via some sort of broker who allocated part of the work to them or gets their citizens placed using fake credentials.
And this is why we can’t have nice things; it sounds terrible, but there should be a limit for how responsible we as a society need to be for the actions of individuals.
I never received this survey and I fly Southwest specifically because I found their boarding process to be less of a hassle (for a single traveler who doesn’t care where they sit). The only way I could see this being beneficial is if they board people in order of assigned seat in such a way as to optimize time to seat, not the BS boarding that other airlines do to try and maximize price of fair, otherwise they will have lost the whole reason I like(d) to fly them… Their simplier, no bs, boarding process.
P.S. I really don’t get people liking to pidgen hole themselves to a specific spot for any of these things, just makes it easier to inflate the prices later
I think a lot of this comes from how the internet in many ways has become less of a shared place, with fewer people self hosting and more moving to ‘platforms’ which has enabled massive commercialization (and an excessive desire to mine personal data, only to get hacked)
I believe Mozilla was heavily involved with the creation of Rust, although that has now been transitioned to the Rust Foundation; not sure if that impacts them and/or what other projects they might have
Honestly, we need to replace social security numbers if we insist on using them as a form of identification (they never were designed for this); they follow a pattern (which is publicly available) and can be partially predicted without knowing too much about the individual. They were originally for Social Security only (hence their name), but then the IRS decided to use them for ID and then others followed suit, and we got to where we are now
Honestly executives and board members who receive performance bonuses and golden parachutes should carry extra liability, such that these perks can be denied or even clawed back (and used to help the damages) when their decisions have these sort of outcomes. Nothing wrong with making more when things go well, but if you’re going to take a larger piece of the pie, then you need to be prepared to take a smaller piece when things go wrong (aka, cut executive pay before layoffs, etc.).
Ticks are terrible; creepy just as little things that get on you, but then they also carry all sorts of diseases which really drives up the paranoia after every hike
