I would say the burnt body photos of Aye Ko are the most concerning.

The KPIs will improve. Maybe some of their exec compensation is even tied to these KPIs. It involves technology which is a go to solution in tech companies. It’s applied to people which are viewed as resource rather than employees, and it gets them one step closer to automation (even if Robocop style automation where a living brain is trapped between the inputs and the outputs of the machine). Eventually it’s all justified by the improvement in safety.

I personally think it’s horrible. I think humans must maintain a somewhat loose inefficient environment and process to remain sane. But for those who don’t share my views, introducing such systems is an easy sell.

> Isn't Finnish the language with 50 noun declensions or something mad like that?

I think you mean cases? These are mostly simple suffixes you attach on the end of the noun/adjective: for example talo (house), talossa (in the house, i.e. house-in). There's some rules around vowel harmony (same as with other Uralic languages like Hungarian, as well as Turkish) and consonant mutation (so a t becomes a d in a closed syllable) but these follow regular rules with a few exceptions for some foreign loanwords.

Vocabulary is quite small with lots of compound words - however other than some aforementioned loanwords (mostly from Swedish and more recently English) the core vocabulary is pretty alien to an Indo-European speaker. Spelling is completely phonetic (everything written as it's spelt) although as with most languages there are strong regional dialects.

Finnish has a lot of up-front rules to learn, but for the most part it's pretty regular with few exceptions (there's also the lack of grammatical gender, another feature of Uralic languages). Russian on the other hand is exceptions all the way down.

Yes, the adjective order is definitely important (and native English speakers are not explicitly taught it, but we absolutely know it).

Until the GPLv3 came along, really. Apple kept contributing to GCC until 4.2.
I think the primary factor that causes this perception is the lack of any proper dialect continuum between English and another language. There are of course a few minor ones like English<->Scots and English<->Jamaican Patois, but nothing significant that any sizeable number of speakers would encounter.

Dialect continuums between languages are basically the norm around the world. You can even connect Sicilian to Portuguese for example.

I would assume the primary reason English isn't part of any major one is because Britain is an island, otherwise English would probably connect to Dutch and join the West Germanic continuum. It would then appear just as fractured as any other language.

I was learning Italian some years ago in a class where others students were all English speakers, and it felt like cheating as the grammar was basically the same, just the words changed a bit, so I was having a much better time than anyone else! But when the teacher spoke fluently to me in Italian, obviously I would suddenly realize my Italian was still very poor and I had a lot to learn.

EDIT: by the way, the author must have meant that other germanic languages don't have "gerundio"? Looks like all Latin languages do.
I don't think an arbitrary choice of test is "like not hiring women", but other than that yours is a valid criticism (personally I'd suspect it to bias for wealth).

I somewhat buy the anticipatory response elsewhere that essentially it's no worse than some of the other arbitrary choices -- basically, every style of assessment will miss some good candidates.
This just sounds like "yes" to me.
As a Japanese, I agree with you.
When friends who are learning the language ask me questions, I sometimes can't even answer them.
So I end up saying "that's just how we say/use it".

And much respect from me.
I wouldn't learn Japanese if my mother tongue is European language.
It's always been a surprise to me how (generally large) companies can rationalize this kind of behaviour.

I remember the first time I came across it, I saw a project that was going to install detailed monitoring on call centre workers PCs.

In the business case for the software they actually put a financial benefit of this system as something like reduced employee absence due to them being better managed!

There didn't seem to be any acknowledgement that the employees might find the implicit lack of trust involved in installing this kind of software a problem.
In the UK at least there is a mix of the following:

* Independent couriers (via a delivery app similar to Uber).

* Small business owners that will have a fleet of c10 vans / drivers that contract for Amazon (via a specific Amazon programme to start up your own small van-delivery business for delivering Amazon parcels).

* Amazon directly-employed van drivers.

I think independent couriers are charged a cost per parcel delivered anyway, so it doesn't make sense to monitor those any more than you need to. This potentially could then apply to points 2 & 3 above depending on how far Amazon wants to go with it.

Many blue collar workers are recorded all day long. In fact, it’d be tough finding a brick-and-mortar store that doesn’t have recording devices all over. Why is this news? Because it’s in a truck? Because it’s using AI?
To an extent, they already are. Most new class 8 trucks in North America are so connected to the rest of the fleet it's scary. A lot of trucks can be re-programmed by the company while it's out on the road. Sending the status of the seatbelt, coupled with lane monitoring systems that can phone-home as a violation if done x number of times in y <time frame>, can easily implement the same goals at virtually zero cost.

Systems like this are for what you can't use existing vehicle sensors to do - detect if the driver is eating, drinking, using a cell phone (believe it or not some mega-carriers even have no-hands-free policies), reaching to adjust controls or grab something, talking to a passenger(s), doing drugs or drinking, the list goes on. They're meant to put as much liability and proof-of-fault as possible (or not) on the driver, and the whole driver-facing camera thing in general can drive down carrier insurance rates. "Oh the driver was reaching for his coffee and couldn't brake in time while someone cut them off to make their exit?" can sound great to some people to have on video, but "Driver was fired for eating a Big Mac while driving" or even "driver was caught masturbating in company truck" are very real things that have happened to people I personally know.

Luckily, there has been precedent set here in Canada that has banned driver-facing cameras for privacy-related reasons. Hopefully it stays that way, and the US follows soon. Whatever your views on how much safer it may make the roads, it's a gross invasion of privacy. I liken it to having your boss install a webcam in your office that's watching you 24/7, I'd bet a large majority of people would not put up with that.

Yes.

red big metal ball sounds wrong to me and so do metal red ball and red metal big ball.

But I'm not sure if it can be succinctly expressed as a general rule. It's just something that native speakers do without thinking, seeing it written in the wrong order or hearing it said in the wrong order just feels wrong to me. Perhaps a linguist could provide a rule, or at least a rule of thumb.

LOL!!!! We imprison people of ANY ethnicity who commit crimes. Some prisons have ways where the people there can earn wages through work, though most don't. You can maybe stretch the definition of what "labor camp" means to include that, but I wouldn't. And we DEFINITELY do not do forced sterilization rofl.

They make it clear to each prospect student that it is not a bona fide institution, and that there will be no classes or teachers involved, and that the only purpose of the institution is to commit visa fraud. Then the "students" reply that that's exactly what they're looking for.

The article is intentionally misleading. It leaves out the intention of the "students". It appears they paid so as to stay in the country, but never actually took any classes. I wonder what would have happened if any of them showed up to the university to study. Sure it looks like entrapment, but except for the part where ice kept the money they took from each of the students, I cannot find fault with this. Keeping the money has parallels with asset forfeiture..

People are lying when they make false statements deliberately with the intention to deceive.
I guess to know if someone is lying we need:

- to know the facts

- if the person knows the facts

- and the intentions of the person

all the rest is just guesswork, woodoo.

(and yes, many times we will not know if someone is lying or not. But listening to what a person says and confirming it from independent sources could help a lot in the third of the discovery)
Japanese is hard for different reasons but some of them are self-inflicted. Bothering with pitch accent is one: no second of effort towards it will be ever relevant in comparison to learning new vocabulary or collocation. An other big issue is indeed in manuals, which teach sentences construction with the English logic instead of the Japanese one (eg starting with 私は学生です already poses 3-4 pedagogical problems). I’m working on a conversation guide (in French for now) to avoid those issue but that’s a lot of work...
Well, actually, according to the article, you can.
Having a recording to examine when investigating an incident is different than an AI analyzes all video feeds in real time. The latter is more like each camera having a security team watching it 24/7. That may be common in some high risk environments (e.g. gambling or other large cash situations) but it’s certainly not the norm in vanilla retail.

Truck drivers have historically been independent, in both corporate structure and mindedness, so I can see this being particularly off putting.
