What happens to dormant accounts on up-scaling on the opt-out? Reason be is some creators are no longer active as site like youtube has been around for decades now some of the creators are dead due to age among other reason(s) may apply.

On the last part of "On videos with tagged products, viewers will soon be able to scan a QR code on TV screens to purchase items directly." Sound like a Darth Vader MBA is in charge as they let go and laid off the good fella tech workers.

Seeing three digits at most would be just under 1,000 users at most I figured if you wanted to know about a four digit user on here: https://f6ffb3fa-34ce-43c1-939d-77e64deb3c0c.atarimworker.io/~laird which posted this year in September.

Thank you!

There is a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act and it looks like this is a foreseen layoff with plenty enough employees so I assume the quote from the reporter "Amazon is planning to cut as many as 30,000 corporate jobs beginning Tuesday" that very few will be cut Tuesday but will be given 60 days notice because that includes most non-executive management as well as regular employees.

I have done some research in this. "The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 removed many of the restrictions on opening bank branches across state lines." Also I know of a few states early 1980s and maybe latter (I did not go though law changes, just view an old Federal Reserve report) that there were laws that prohibited branching out more than 25 miles from the main bank branch so the banks where not too big for the britches.

Seeing I thought about that yesterday. When I also seen that quote and I am glad geekmux here today on /. had a comment quoting that as well my thoughts are banks have evolved, though not every bank, more locally owned ones tend to be better, is that back in the later half of the 1980s when there was a Savings and Loan crisis that is still when you had very many savings banks. Banks even called called them that in their name. Now lots of the banks want you to have their card and are efficiency spending banks.

Also that don't show for stuff like spending with checks to contractors for say for example home repairs or cash spend in a store.

Oh really? First of they do not list the exact amount of different laws or even what I seem to read as their 150+ called "markets"; just some number more than that. Could they list all of the laws they are complying with? Seeing nations have public laws on their website at the very least list all applicable laws they are complicating with.

I know people who play Meta videos that do the same. Personally I not a big fan of music for the same reason. A three and half minute or slightly less song and you keep hearing the same chorus.

I have known for most you have to clicked the little 'X' every month. Though I have not seem others used it in awhile and with the whole a/b thing and other changes who knows how many and what people get of recent. Do or did you have to close it every month?

Okay. What about cell phones not controlled by the big two? Seems like in this part of the world is very darn near 100% of people have those such. There maybe a few outliers like me and maybe you but you did not even list any companies for eyeglasses. Speaking of cell phones and the limited non-apple and non-google phones for phone service there are less options for phone service seeing this is a U.S.A. emphasis with other global news website it has gone from the big four to the big three in somewhat recent years with T-Mobile and SPRINT cell phone provider mergers. Though I will just post the phones question or anybody else. What cell phone "platform" are you using?

Reading that Nieman Lab report By Andrew Deck and Hanaa' Tameez it seem they have over-sighted at the very least that some types of archives if they have been using the Wayback Machine for the Internet Archive is that roughly six month some types of archives are embargoed and released later. Been going on for quite some time when I have used it.

"If all U.S. computer hard disk drives were recycled,” wrote the government in 2023, “the contained [rare earth] magnets could satisfy up to 80 percent of electric vehicle magnet demand.” Source via today's Matt Stoller newsletter which links to a U.S. government 2023 report. It all goes into the same holistic pie chart for what your using it for.

Though that requires U.S. Manufacturing investments that like the saying goes Rome wasn't built in a day thus it would take time if there is a commitment to such recycling plant in the U.S.. That would get a long way in keeping the resources stateside instead of processing it elsewhere or throwing it away in the trash for the existing resources already in the U.S..

To some jokes on that they apparently have their pie in the sky (specifically the cloud). Or is it the whole have a cake and eat it too thing in the sky? Wonder if being in the in the cloud give brain fog?

Do you have names of companies that sells, manufacturers, or insurance that is not controlled by parent company essilor luxottica? It would require blindness by many if there was a boycott on glasses.

I have personally seen someone waved though thinking they set the alarm off when walking out when it fact me setting it off walking into a convenience store with an item that set it off.that I go from the video store which never deactivates their items you checkout at the (now a then rental store back when a kid) when I was on a walking route from the rental store to the convenience store with the rentals back I checked out in the day as a kid walking setting the others stores alarm off.

Second situation is a phantom alarm going off at random times as a known issue. The maintenance person of the company did not figure it out but it turned out to be sunglasses put at the end cap nearest to the door. DM had an issue w/ "not being to floor-plan" set by the home office but then had to show the log binder entries by employees showing alarms going off randomly day when no-one was around the door (and a batch most nights when the store was closed) when the store was showing the alarm placing items w/ tags on them too close to the door and you needed send it up the chain to get said chain of stores to stop using such a floor plan.

Worth emphasizing and repeating / Quoiting. The U.S.A. needs something like truckers have with a cap of hours per day and ~week and month maximum of hours. Otherwise you just end up slaving away in the literal sense. Plus make it double time over 40 or 45 hours and have time and half between 32 hours and 40 or 45 hours and make it apply to more people being non-exempt.

If the country really is more productive per hour make sure the person putting in the productivity gets a better shake; like you really have much of a say or shake in the way the companies works anyways - never heard from form much of anybody during this era / current generations they hand a hand in the employee hand book which in lots of cases a binding adhesion written in whole by management and or HR for the company to due its number on the employee.
