Blaming climate change on tourism is a bit like blaming a janitor in Kentucky for the US deficit.

 

Indeed CEO Hisayuki "Deko" Idekoba sent a message to employees stating that roughly 1,300 positions will be eliminated from the company.

"AI is changing the world, and we must adapt by ensuring our product delivers truly great experiences for job seekers and employees," Idekoba's email stated. "Delivering on this ambition requires us to move faster, try new things, and fix what's broken."

Idekoba said the layoffs will impact...those within the Research and Development, Global Operations, and People and Sustainability sectors.

My organization and most of the other orgs I work with have all banned AI note takers in meetings. We either don't let them in or boot them at the beginning. Some of the people who send them, I haven't seen them actually show up to a meeting in months.

The actual title here is "Urban Transportation Commission calls on city to narrow traffic lanes," my friend.

It’s worth noting that recommendations by the Urban Transportation Commission are not binding on the city government, and any code changes that might come about as a result of the resolution would likely still take years to effect any transformation of Austin’s streets through the gradual process of road diets, scheduled re-pavings and re-paintings and small infrastructure projects. But that doesn’t mean it can’t happen.

How do you select content and choose where to post it? Are you a bot? You seem to post about Texas all the time. I live in Texas and love reading about Texas, but much of what you post is low quality corporate slop or just uninteresting.

The calving referred to here as a tourist attraction has been happening for centuries as part of the natural outflow of the glacier, and tourism hasn't had any direct impact on it.

Climate change is definitely affecting this glacier and every glacier though. There's a realistic point in the not too distant future where there are no more glaciers.

What is a "terrorist attack" when you're at war? Who were the "good guys" in the Syrian Civil war? Surely the US didn't harm any civilians during that conflict, right?

That other guy should be in prison though

 

The city’s automated license plate reader program ended July 1.

 

Some of the proposed laws rejected by Abbott, including a ban on hemp products containing THC, will be the focus of a special legislative session he has called for July 21.

 

"I've got to get Israel to calm down now," Trump said as he left the White House. "Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen. They've been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing."

Reminder that the protest starts at 5pm on Sat 6/14 at the Texas Capitol.

 

Looks like Tesla is testing their autonomous vehicles in the neighborhood between Mabel Davis Park and Burleson Rd. Oh wait, Tesla didn't want us to know where this was happening...
