The Pulse: Could a 5-day RTO be around the corner for Big Tech?
From next February, workers at Instagram must be in the office, five days a week. This makes Meta the second tech giant after Amazon to mandate a 5-day RTO. Will more big companies do the same?Gergely Orosz (The Pragmatic Engineer)
Australian Pringles are a F ING scam.
Went to the UK recently and was honestly surprised at the vast difference between the Pringles. I've been waiting for them to come on special to do anBYTESEU (Bytes Europe)

原來 Amazon 做遊戲十幾年了，還投了一堆錢下去…

PF has strict vetting and narrow requirements for upstanding men fit for activism. A somewhat parallel unconnected organization for a wider membership is novanow.org/.
"A dominant core of 147 firms through interlocking stakes in others together control 40% of the wealth in the global network according to the Swiss Institute of Technology. A total of 737 companies control 80% of it all."
... and this concentration of wealth enables the increasing control of media and political power.
But I think the left's political analysis is still behind this curve. Capitalism has effectively fractured into an increasing number of very small businesses and a declining number of increasingly enormous multinationals - that degrade and exploit the small businesses just as they do their workers and customers.
The left has missed, I think, that focusing on this division, and the identity of interests between workers, customers and small business, as opposed to big business, could create a new, powerful electoral alliance, in favour of free enterprise and markets, but against the accumulation of enormous wealth and power in relatively few private hands.

Thank you for the link, what a gift!
A remarkable piece, in a remarkable performance. Very moving.
I was moved to look for biographical background. Britten wrote the piece in 1942, in times as fragile as ours. He and Peter Pears returned from the US to England, on a Swedish cargo ship. German U-boats were active on the Atlantic, so this was no holiday trip. On a stop in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Britten had picked up a book of medieval poems, which during the voyage he turned into this extended piece.
From the medieval text: Christ's coming is "to rifle satans fold - all hell doth at his presence quake." Apt for these fraught times (his and ours).

Ein Foto, das im Inneren eines Zuges aufgenommen wurde, zeigt ein rotes Stofftier, das an einem Handlauf vor einem Fenster befestigt ist. Das Stofftier hat die Form eines Einhorns mit einem langen, spiralförmigen Horn. Das Fenster zeigt das Fahrgastinformationsdisplay mit Informationen zu Zugnummern und Haltestellen. Der Hintergrund umfasst eine Sitzeinheit in einem Zug, möglicherweise aus Leder oder Vinyl. Das Display zeigt folgenden Text: "ICE 1548 Köln Hbf", gefolgt von einer Liste der Haltestellen, darunter "Hamm (Westfal)", "Dortmund Hbf", "Bochum Hbf" und "Köln Hbf".
