They simply don’t give a shit about decency.

FYI I live in one of the best and strongest democracies in the world, and would clearly prefer that to whatever bullshit you probably believe in considering tour idiotic statement.

I only skimmed to see what it was about, but stopped because I found out it is bullshit. So I don’t really know what it says about Argentina.

Venezuela is a beacon of national sovereignty and social progress.

This is the trash that is upvoted here? Venezuela is a dictatorship, and Maduro is not supported by the people. And Maduro has succeeded in making an extremely oil rich country one of the poorest in the region, where even toilet paper is in shortage.
That’s very far from being a beacon of sovereignty.

According to u/unpossom that’s not possible, they can only do it 3 days per month.
And it’s a heck of a lot better than zero as was claimed in previous posts about this.

There’s a lot not being reported, seems to me that every extra piece of info we get, makes this more and more reasonable, and a nothing burger IMO.

Not the best pay for overtime, but it’s just a couple of days ago that people here claimed there was zero compensation, as in they weren’t paid for overtime at all. At least according to this edited headline that is NOT true. But I can’t find that info in the article?

And I still find it confusing that this is now “allowed”. Does that mean it was not allowed to work more than 8 hours per day in Greece? As in overtime with a 40 hour work week was not allowed?

No wonder then that their economy suck. That’s extremely rigid, and especially small companies need to be more flexible than that to run efficiently.

Actually allowing for more flexible overtime, will make it easier to later lower the standard work hours.
I can see everybody is up in arms about how horrible this is, but if there really is pay for overtime, this seems like a much needed change, and not at all the horror show almost everybody here on Lemmy have claimed.
Also there is nothing in these articles about allowing overtime, that show that an employer can demand it, as was also claimed by some previously.

The only places I’ve known here in Denmark to use this extensively, the benefits were very significant, like 50% extra pay, and double pay for extra hours in weekends and night hours, or you get normal pay plus an equal amount of hours off with pay. Which also amounts to double pay.

Using the people who know the job is better and cheaper than using employment agencies, even when you pay double.

So this is all about what the real consequences are, which is unknown to us because no journalist I’ve seen has asked anyone with actual legal and practical knowledge of the Greek work market.

Through the whole article this is all they can tell us?

The new legislation permits 13-hour work days, up from eight

Nothing about the real consequences, like how are the extra hours paid?
Instead we get anecdotes about people complaining this is bad. But what exactly about it is bad we don’t know from articles like this that don’t provide the most basic information of the actual consequences!

Here you can work 13 hours per day too, but the standard for a full time job is 37.5 hours per week, and the standard is important to get full unemployment benefits if you lose your job.

As I see it, the article contains no information about this apart from the part I quoted above. And it doesn’t explain exactly why people are so angry about it. There must be more to it, than just “permitting” 13-hour work days?!

PS:
13 hours is also the max here (Denmark), as you are required to have minimum 11 hours of rest between workdays.

Please don’t tell them I also use magnets for kitchen knives.
I also made a magnet bar for my Danish Design tools for the fire-wood stove.

I fail to see the problem? Stock companies will se their stock decrease in value, which may make it slightly harder for them to find financial support.
But on the other hand, the huge savings in banks, will make that same cash available for many other things, like borrowing for small startups, and people borrowing for buying houses, cars, house improvements and on and on.

So this could as I see it, very well work as a stimulus to the economy outside the mega cooperations.

surely a licensing fee would be a lot less

A license fee for using a magnet to hold something? Really?
How is this any different than using refrigerator magnets?

Is this really a FAFO moment for Trump? Is it beginning to dawn on him what he has started?
None of these problems existed before Trump became president!

Trump claimed trade wars are easy to win, but joke’s on him, because trade wars have no winners, and more likely than not USA will be the biggest loser in Trump’s moronic trade wars.

Most likely he will back down, but it’s false to claim everybody “knows”.
Because there is a level of uncertainty, and even if he does, it shows negotiations are not going smoothly.
Trump is creating disruptions in the American market, and disruptions are harmful, especially they are extremely harmful to investments.
So whether he TACO out or not doesn’t really matter for the harm he is doing in the meantime.

just another round of market manipulation.
FTFY:
another round of market disruption.

Stupid article by people who can’t do percentages.
Downvoted for false info.

with unit pricing expected to range between $180 and $200. In contrast, Qualcomm’s latest premium SoC reportedly costs smartphone manufacturers as much as $280

How is 180 less than half of 280? The saving is “only” 36%.
What is actually the case is that the Qualcomm is 55% more expensive, which is a huge difference from the claim of the headline.
MediaTek being 55% cheaper would be: $280 -55% = $126.

That’s a weird thing to say, since top Mediatek for a couple of recent generations were actually more powerful than top Qualcomm, including on graphics.
Qualcomm typically has an edge on efficiency, but it’s only an edge, not like they are in different leagues, and MediaTek is absolutely a great option if you want a high end very powerful phone.
IMO it’s by far the best (only really good) place to save cost if you want to make a flagship killer, and at half the price it ought to be a no-brainer.

HOWEVER!
After actually reading the article:

with unit pricing expected to range between $180 and $200. In contrast, Qualcomm’s latest premium SoC reportedly costs smartphone manufacturers as much as $280

The 180-200 price is repeated in the table shown. <so how is 180 less than half of 280?
Seems to me more like a saving of 36%.

What do you mean?
That would be something like:
Xi vows to stand firm in pissing match with Trump.
I don’t think that’s realistic.

Too bad for USA that Trump is pissing all over himself, and China basically doesn’t have to do anything to win.

China is really really tired of USA now, normally they would be way more diplomatic in their communications, this kind of strong language would previously be completely unheard of in a situation where there are negotiations taking place.

And this is not just Trump, Biden continued most of Trump’s policies against China when he was president, and USA has been trying to control China’s access to global markets for more than half a century, at times forcing even non American companies to sanction China, to prevent them from competing on equal terms.
Trump is making it worse of course, and he is probably the reason China now has had enough. But the fundamental problem is half a century old.

I guess the party is about to be over for USA, they can no longer bully the rest of the world into compliance that benefit only USA.

Yes, Israel basically destroyed Gaza already 50 years ago, sounds about right.
