Not that it’s a fair comparison modern medicine and some (even on a minimal level) access to healthcare means that the majority of people who are alive now would’ve been dead.
Totally. We've had Q4 labor screw-overs since Jack Welch. Now this added humiliation.
"AI" might enable mass automation. But it will also enable this CEO tactic: "Look shareholders/VCs, I namedropped the hot new thing, please gimme extra layoff brownie points this Christmas!"
I don't doubt it. However my point is that the scene is so small that direct interactions with the community hardly moves the needle when it comes to the broader cultural perception.
Shostakovich did this a lot in his later work. His violin sonata starts with a long slow atonal dirge, then suddenly slinks into this little tonal waltz. It gives a “haunted music box” vibe that I absolutely love.
The argument is that there are plenty of unprosecuted crimes already, obviously.
I understand why you might disagree with that, and I understand why your reading comprehension might work better when not discussing your employer, but I have to say, you're really not helping your firm's reputation here.
That’s not really the argument though. Because the person in question was prosecuted for something unrelated. It’s just a blanket request for people who work there to go to jail.
It also (probably unintentionally) calls out entry level workers specifically.
MBTA administration is day camp for the adult children of Boston Brahmins. The operations department, OTOH, is full of the hardest working and most passionate people you’ll ever meet.
Naturally, those operations jobs tend to attract more transit riders and lovers, who are disproportionately POCs, low income, or disabled. But the working conditions are abusive and exploitative - especially for anyone who cares enough to speak up about the dysfunction. Check out the FTC’s report on dispatcher shift lengths, for example. Or TransitCenter’s report on obstacles to operations hiring.
The T can’t hire bus drivers, even with a $7k signing bonus, a massive ad campaign, and a recession. It’s worth asking why.
If the T ever improves, it will be because the people who rely on it are in charge. But your assessment is bang on. Given how much power those in charge have amassed, I don’t see it happening.
While I love the UX improvements, MuseScore 4 is unusably laggy. On every machine I’ve tried, it takes 10+ seconds to respond after a few phrases have been entered.
I was hoping they just rushed out a buggy release, but there’s been no improvement since then. When folks complain about it on the subreddit or forums, Muse Group just brushes them off.
I’ve used Musescore for a long time, and I happily would’ve put up with moderate bugs for a contemporary UX. But unfortunately, 4.0/4.1 is completely broken for me.
