Global News@lemmy.zip•Nexperia Chip Crisis Forces Honda to Suspend Production at Mexico PlantEnglish
0·21 days agoShort story is that Zhang took over a Dutch Tech company, mismanaged it, and tried to take its Intellectual property/trade secrets to transfer it to a Chinese company, essentially gutting nexperia. The board of the company and the Dutch Chamber of Commerce intervened. Note that the Dutch government didn’t do this for political reasons, but based on the findings of the Chamber of Commerce, who intervened because of intentional bad management.
That is one side of the coin. But what if he gets into financial trouble later in life, when you’re no longer there, or otherwise able to support him? Addictions, accidents, bad business ownership, legal trouble - there are lots of ways people can inadvertently lose everything they have.
If you’ve never learned how to build stuff up from the ground up, it will be a lot harder to recover.
There are valuable lessons in earning your own house and working for your keep. If everything comes easy it’s going to be a problem when things get tough. You can only hope you set them up well enough that there’s never going to be financial woes.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What careers did the genuinely nicest people you know personally get into?
0·29 days agoThe nicest people I know are nurses and teachers. Although I think there are genuinely nice people in all professions. I know nice people in HR and IT too.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•The war against privacy: governments coming after anonymous SMS receiving services
0·1 month agoIt’s also used to offer cheap sms service to shady aggregators or mobile network operators. These phones will have a free sms subscription and they send incoming otp SMS s through to end users for say half the normal price of an otp SMS. 100% profit.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's an example of something that usually goes unnoticed when done well but very noticeable when done poorly or not done at all?
0·1 month agoMy work apparently. Other people got promoted for solving problems quickly. I didn’t have problems. At least, I did, but I solved them without help or advertising them enough probably.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Best Synology Replacement?English
3·2 months agoDoes it have an app to automatically backup photos and documents from an Android or iOS phone by chance? I know I can use syncthing, but in my experience a tool like Synology Drive works more reliably.

Lefty Memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•"the blue trolley would have ground up people more humanely!"English
0·2 months agoI always feel these kinds of posts have the purpose of discouraging people to vote, because “both parties are the same”. Yet both parties are not exactly the same. In fact, we are witnessing the differences right now. One party is fascist, unconstitutional and doesn’t respect the law.
Tipping in general is a concept that should just die. Same actually as bonuses. I work at a rather large company where sales closing a deal will get them a bonus. In my job I don’t directly deal with customers, so I can never get a bonus. U don’t work less hard than sales. I would actually say my job is more stressful. They should just pay people what they’re worth.
And still, he is smaller than your mom.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Shamelessly stolen from Reddit
502·3 months agoI’m not from the U.S., but why would people from the military get a discount? If you do that as a store, why not doctors and nurses too? Why stop there and why not include firefighters, government workers or teachers?
And who compensates you as a business owner for these giveaways? If your store happens to be close to an army base, do you just accept the disadvantage of giving away part of your profit?
It sounds pretty stupid. People should get paid enough to pay full price for their stuff. Especially by the government. Especially in a country that allocates an enormous part of their GDP to their military.
