  • Abortion should be legal in all cases

    The thread replying to the parent comment is a good example of how restricting abortion access requires people to arbitrarily decide definitions of when a fetus "becomes human."

    It's best to leave that decision up to the pregnant person in consultation with their medical providers.

    but a fetus becomes a unique individual when there is clear, identifiable, brainwave activity.

    If there's no brainwave activity, it's not a life, no matter how many weeks old pre-birth or how many years old after birth.

    This is another arbitrary definition of personhood. That doesn't mean it's wrong. But there are other (equally arbitrary) definitions that are reasonable too. (And there are a bunch of unreasonable definitions, but we don't need to go into those.)

  • I think they did say that in the older thread. But for proper security, you shouldn't have to trust them. You should have build tools that will re-fetch everything to create an identical build. That gives a clear chain of custody, which proves that morning has been tampered with.

  • I think part of the issue is how business accounting practices work. When you buy a machine, you can call it a capital investment and count its value as an asset. When you hire a person and cultivate them for years, from an accounting perspective their salary is strictly a liability / expense. Even though that person is an asset in every other way, our standard accounting practices don't reflect that.

  • Does anyone have concrete info on the offer and why it was rejected? Reading between the lines, it sounds like some of the issues were:

    • 24% is a lot, but doesn't bring them back to where they were 16 years ago when their last general wage deal happened
    • Contract reduces or removes performance incentives, which might reduce take-home pay overall
    • Some employees are mad that their pension was taken away a decade ago
    • They don't trust Boeing to keep it's promise about building the next commercial jet in the region

    Anything else?

  • The bigger deal is how many customers will react worse if you engage with them in any way. If that weren't the case, pointing to the hours, shaking your head, etc, would be reasonable.
