Rather than just leave it at that snippy remark I feel it is only fair to explain my point of view.

First, the disparity between those that work outside and those that work indoors is not a new thing and regardless of any real or imagined global warming there are many factors that affect the health and wellbeing of workers, including working odd hours such as graveyard shifts as the author suggests.

As an employer, I find this general attitude of who I assume are aggrieved socialists with an axe to grind offensive and ignorant when they claim that only legislation will protect workers from unfair working conditions.

The reality is most of us are doing anything we can to just get someone to show up for work and willing to accommodate and reasonable requests our of employees. Personally I don't even like the term employee as without them I have nothing.

The problem as I see it is, the few bad bosses and the people that work for them seem to be the focus. I would say that 40 years ago the argument that the majority of workers are being exploited may have been true but these days, any unskilled worker that shows up on time and doesn't make everyone else walk on egg shells or argue for the purpose of arguing can write their own ticket.

Finally, this idea that we need more unqualified and IMHO lazy post secondary educated bureaucrats to expound their worth by imposing regulation is dumber than a bag of hammers.

Do you really think that the majority of employers are more concerned with profits than people? I can assure you that I put every worker before profit and bear a huge burden just trying to keep my company going so that they have an income.

Maybe the author should start a company and gain some perspective before parroting this garbage coming from those intellectuals that mooch of us true proletariats!

I have worked in the video analytics field and in particular traffic control and pedestrian detection for several years and although it requires a greater amount of false positives to cover the detection of children the standard is to error on the side of caution.

As far as the pigment of peoples skin, this is hogwash as the amount of skin exposed compared to clothing is minimal. Was this study conducted using nude pedestrians? I can assure everyone that the detection of a person wearing all black and a hoodie(Aka Antifa uniform) is the minimum requirement.

Many detection systems use dual cameras and infrared and thermal imaging, this seems to be either propaganda or "Scientists" finding data to support their own bias.

Please don't get offended, that was not my intention.

PS: I understand there is a system for naming hurricanes but at least for me, the fact this one is named Hillary has added to my trepidation.

My current thoughts are that the true history of human civilization does go much further back than current narratives and "Experts" claim. Our current civilization has progressed and innovated so much in such a short amount time, it is not unreasonable to expect that humans have built and lost similar civilizations through catastrophes such as the YDB.

It may not have been aliens but I think it is probable that right around the time we started going into space, ancient human made satellites were discovered and brought back to earth. It could also be that Area 51 and other places were created not for Alien space craft crashes but ancient human satellites that were intentionally crashed.

I can only imagine how alien a TESLA found in space by the next civilization might seem!

Considering the way our government leaders and wealthy have historically conducted themselves, it's not hard to believe if they survived a cataclysm, they would be quite willing to be thought of as gods and horde any knowledge they have to themselves.

Fun subject to ponder in anycase!

I am going to start at the top and work my way through them over the next little while and will definitely provide an update of what hopefully worked but it may be a few weeks.

I just wanted to post this comment to let you all know I appreciate the great responses and the HN community. As benboozled commented about his faith being restored in humanity, I am thankful for HN and all of you generous and helpful contributors.

I was hoping that the closed captions for videos were indexed by google but I am not sure if they are and if there is a certain syntax to use for searching captions.

I tried googling this but have only found searching within a specific video rather than across the library.

To be more specific, his name is Rick Lee and the Headline appeared on the show sometime around Y2K.

Any help and or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Eg: I have wild Hazelnut or Filbert trees on my forested property, for the first couple years I struggled with transplants dying and then realized the squirrels were planting them too! Now I just keep the coyotes away(also to protect my chickens) and the squirrels plant the Hazels.

I also clear dead fall and gently rake areas where I want to encourage new trees.

I have found that a tree that starts naturally or from seed tends to do better than transplants, atleast in my area.

As far as the abrupt dismissal and not being able to say goodbye, I think that is a reasonable stance for a company to take. Anecdotally from my past experience with an employee that quit and gave two weeks notice, it was a horrible two weeks for everyone and after them I just told future people who gave notice to not worry and paid them out as if they worked it.

On a more positive note, I would also say that burned bridges are not that big of deal, I have checked with past employers about potential hires that said awful things but still hired them. If you know your stuff, show up for work and don't have a bunch of personal crisis that will affect the business plenty of companies will want you.

Good luck!
