If they haven't been negotiating already at this point, their intention is to force the union into a strike. For whatever reason these companies/organizations always seem to think that forcing a union to strike works in their favor somehow, despite it always costing millions of dollars and an agreement being made anyway.

Not disagreeing, just pointing out it's not a traditional copyright claim like so many others we see.

Except this isn't a copyright case. They're claiming patent infringement.

If a Spear Phish works that well with individuals outside the official group in question, it should be able to be entered into evidence as proof of expected collaboration/collusion between the parties.

And that's WITH existing union agreements already, so you know it was even worse than that before the union was formed in the first place. Unions don't appear out of nowhere. If a business or industry has a union, it's because the workers were being screwed so hard it became necessary.

Not really bad if you use a power-only cable. If the data pins aren't even wired up, can't move anything other than power.

Not sure if that works with USB-C at anything other than legacy 500mA power draw though, probably not since the device can't communicate for what it supports.

You know guys, I'm starting to think what we heard about Altman when he was removed a while ago might actually have been real.

So its not saving time, just costing money to increase surveillance.

So just like nearly everything the TSA does.

The contaminated meats have been recalled, obviously, but that relies on vendors to actually go through their stock and pull them from shelves. For major supermarkets and businesses they're used to doing that for all sorts of products. But small businesses may not be paying attention nearly as closely.

And that doesn't take into account products that had been purchased by a consumer before the recall, but stored until more recently. I regularly buy things like meat when it is on sale and freeze it for use months later, especially when it's a premium product I otherwise wouldn't get.

Exactly. Like the execution just a few days ago of Marcellus Williams in Missouri. Where there was alleged bias in jury selection and contamination of the murder weapon prior to trial. Even the current State Prosecutors in the same office that convicted him were calling for it to be stopped. Only the Attorney General's office wanted it to continue.

Or how about Khalil Divine Black Sun Allah a week ago in South Carolina. There was no forensic evidence, and video only showed two masked men. Where the only major evidence linking him to the crime was a witness testimony, which was provided only in exchange for leniency and later recanted stating that he had hidden the actual shooter's identity fearing for his life, and that Allah hadn't even been present. Again with the Attorney General's office being the only ones insisting it be continued. Where prosecutors told the jurors they could convict him for murder simply if they believed he was present during the robbery, so the jury didn't even have to find that he actually committed the murder.

That's twice in a week that Southern Republican states have executed probably innocent men, at the insistence only of the State AG... Which is a very political position, regardless of what they may want to claim.

That's literally what the editing does.

Expert editing.

That's one of the primary functions of the editor. Depending on the outfit though, editorial oversight may not be required or even a thing really. Publishing approval may be from the writer directly, which also likely means no one else read over it after it was completed to find easily avoidable issues from rephrasing and reorganizing sentences.
