Comment poll idea - sustainability in tech (Score 1) 81

Are you interested/concerned about sustainability in tech? 1. yes 2. no 3. yes, but it's all greenwashing 4. yes, but I'm not sure what sustainability means sustainability is management of current environmental, social, and economic resources to ensure prosperity for future generations.

Comment ESG isn't very valuable anyways (Score 1) 174

As a researcher in sustainability, ESG in a poor way to assess corporate sustainability or corporate social responsibility. Organizations pick and choose their ESG reporting firm. It's super easy to manipulate results. The scores of the different ESG firms rarely converge. All in all, it's currently just a way for organizations to mask unsustainability while being compliant.

Comment fake reviews - necessary in fashion (Score 2) 79

I was the operating manager for a small fashion company in Los Angeles for 2 years.Roughly 95% of our sales were on amazon. We primarily sold leggings, but did well in other basics too. At some point, fake negative reviews started flooding our store, but we didn't receive an increase in contact from customers complaining about the product. It was clear that a massive competitor was buying our product, leaving a bad review, and then reselling our products on their store. I confirmed this when I found another amazon store using our photos and descriptions. Amazon didn't do shit about it. Our complaint was ignored. Our ratings tanked, and business slowed. We countered by buying fake reviews from a Chinese firm, and that helped us get back up to the coveted 4 star rating. Amazon is a race to the bottom. I've left that company, which I liked, and I'll never use Amazon again. It kills businesses.

I got a new iMac in early March. Upgrading from 2GB to 4GB of RAM is $100. Upgrading from 4GB to 8GB is $1000!!! Someone explain that pricing. Also, I ran MacOS for the first time ever for about 30 minutes just so I could download Ubuntu. I hated it. I have a little money to spare and I wanted an all in one system. The competing Dell XPS One and Lenovo a600 didn't match up. I was willing to pay the MacTax for style. *ducks from mac fanbois throwing shoes*
