TikTok tells staff impacted by wildfires to use sick hours if they can't work

标题很有意思,引发了讨论,全世界都有很多新闻学的光辉时刻,不过不是我的重点。这个帖子吸引我的是下面讨论的内容,引用一部分:

To be fair, this is a company in the U.S and the people are working in the U.S so it is in fact - U.S working conditions, if you imported the company to the EU it would not be EU working conditions because those working. conditions would be illegal.

This is how millions of Americans already work. Millions have no paid sick time at all (and even unpaid sick leave can be iffy) and millions more get less generous PTO than this.
The only remarkable thing is that this policy is bad for a tech company. Tech is special because demand for specialized workers is high and supply is low. But in most other industries, this would be standard behavior.
Workers in other industries deserve better, but it’s also important to remember that the HN bubble isn’t the norm.

This is why we need our governments to protect the people.
It is exuberantly clear that some companies will treat their workers with the minimum amount of decency up to the point of illegality, or past that if they can get away with it.
How about an “asshole employer” gov program? Society needs to fight back against those doing harm to society.

最后这位老哥可能对资本主义有什么误解,最近越来越觉得让美国黄金年代工人过上好日子的,除了资本主义自身的机制确实有利于生产力发展之外,还有苏联提供的外部对比压力。苏联解体十年之后,资本主义国家工人的生活水平可以说是每况愈下。

DJI will no longer stop drones from flying over airports, wildfires, and the White House

大疆在全球各地都会设立禁飞区,有的是当地政府要求,有的是大疆主动为之,因为如果有人有意或无意的在某些地方使用无人机,对大疆的业务是长期有害的。

之前一直有这个传闻,大疆在美国要随心飞了,这两天做实了:

DJI voluntarily created its geofencing feature, so it makes a certain degree of sense that the company would get rid of it now that the US government no longer seems to appreciate its help, is blocking some of its drone imports, calls DJI a “Chinese Military Company,” and has started the countdown clock on a de facto import ban.

这篇文章几乎在直接指责大疆是在鼓励用无人机去撞救火飞机和白宫,也挺新闻学的。

这个结果对大疆和美国是双输,不过站在中国人的立场,我支持大疆试试这个魔法对轰的方案,毕竟中国企业在这场持久的霸凌中表现得太好欺负了。不过大疆表现的也是有礼有节,还写了一篇文章避免误会,大意是这时候推出这个方案不是因为政治因素,只是怎么管理飞行设备是政府的职责,企业会合规经营。
