QC has stronger protections than neighboring ON does, actually. If the employee has more than 2 years of service they simply cannot be dismissed without just cause. Even under 2 years there are a bunch of protections, but at 2+ it gets harder.
100%. They’ve announced the plans for SpaceX to have an IPO, this will basically eliminate all of his losses even if they just shut down xAI immediately following acquisition (which they won’t do just yet, because people are still bag holding AI investments.)
This guy might be a dumb fuck, but he’s the smartest dumb fuck in the billionaire game.
Edit:
Some of his capital investors might have told him that they want out of xAI because they see where the wind is blowing. This gets them out with profit if they pull it off fast enough.
This (SpaceX IPO) is going to be a massive rug pull, for the 2nd round of public traders and I bet that he’s got structure in place to ensure that even after selling billions of dollars of shares he still holds 51% or some shit, or that his annual compensation is $0+1% of the company.
10 years ago I would have bought into a SpaceX IPO. Not today.
He was attached to Ubi’s office Montreal, QC, Canada.
If there isn’t anything more than what is mentioned in the article, it’s highly that the CDPDJ would rule against Ubi if the dismissal is challenged; this would likely be protected as Freedom of Expression, as nothing negative was said about Ubi besides the implication that Ubi thought that their employees wouldn’t see their motives.
Oh. Well when you finish SOMA let me know how you feel. I’m interested to know.
Did you think that the Gestapo would have permitted random people to take their pictures and run away?
The ability to spread images and video online nearly instantly has changed the dynamics somewhat.
Amazed that I didn’t see any references to OpenDesk. Specifically built on open-source to escape foreign government and/or corpo malfeasance.

Has been for a very long time. I quit watching his video after I saw him post a thing that was going on and on about the superiority of the product in his left hand over the right, and how much faster it was and blah blah blah.
Both products were bandwidth limited by the PCI bus and there was no advantage to the expensive one he was hawking.
Hard Times - Paramore first thing I thought of
For everyone asking about the husband, looks like he did indeed bail on his kids and set up shop on the coast with a new family.

All that honeybee suffering…
Eg., Phil Fish of FEZ and Indy game: the movie fame is another who seems unable to ignore negative feedback and massively overreacts to it.
Agreed. I prefer a ‘proper’ dock like the HP ultra Slim dock 2013 or the Lenovo ThinkPad pro dock, where you set the laptop into it and you’re good to go, but times change and the current usb-c thunderbolt docks are reasonably decent now. One cable if your laptop doesn’t have insane power demands, or two if you use a laptop with >100W draw
I’ve got some bad news for you about Ron Glass …
At that time she’d been asking for 1 year older than her, but for reasons unknown Don refused to budge on that.
You joke but this is happening to an Airline Callcenter I used to provide contracting services for. It’s being used as a scapegoat for bad decisions made at the C level several years ago.
You know they’re dockable, like a laptop, right?
Same in ours.
Myself and another guy went to a tech junket that was by invite only and they gave away a laptop to one person from each company who attended. My boss tried to take the laptop from the other guy saying “that was a gift and you need to turn it over to me”
I’d already cleared it with our corporate conflict of interest ombudsman - if I’d accepted it, it would have been an issue because I had purchasing authority, but other guy was “just” a tech who couldn’t sign off on anything or even make recommendations to anyone other than me, we didn’t have an existing business relationship with the vendor, and we’re not obligated to conduct any business with them as a result of the gift.
I told my boss to take it up with head-of-department (whom I’d copied in on the ombudsman comms.)
Other guy kept the laptop, and boss got ‘audited’ for gifts received (they pulled his emails) and was demoted into a position he wasn’t able to handle (more technical than he was capable of, but on paper should have been able to do) and pushed out of the company soon thereafter.
I have mice active in my house and haven’t found poop yet, only realized last week when I found a piece of leftover food that was nibbled down on the edges. These ones are sneaky.
I wonder if the archive.org cases had any bearing on the decision.
