Minor league baseball salary3/23/2023 ![]() Many of you have asked why the Major League Baseball Players’ Association doesn’t get involved here and stand up for minor leaguers. ![]() So, are there any other options for minor leaguers looking for a better break? Not that I can see. ![]() As for baseball employers being compelled to pay more by virtue of the law, all of that will be over with tomorrow when the budget bill passes. To get a higher wage they have to cease being baseball players and do something completely different with their lives. While a worker at Acme, Incorporated could theoretically leave and go work for Consolidated Amalgamated, Incorporated if he or she does not like their salary, minor leaguers cannot do the same. The problem is that those factors don’t apply in the case of baseball. The market argument is moot because major league teams quite literally control minor leaguers. It’s literally how the labor market works in a capitalist system. They pay you what they pay you either because they are forced to by the law, like minimum wage and overtime rules, or they are forced to by the market. Maybe not your boss - a lot of us have nice bosses who would go to bat for us - but the people who make the ultimate decisions about labor costs and budgets and headcount do. In a capitalist system, labor is a commodity like anything else, and all business owners will do whatever they can reasonably do to reduce commodity prices. In this they are no different than any other business owner, all of whom would love to pay as little as possible for labor. They have no will to do this and thus your appeal to how easy it would be for them to do so is meaningless. It’s not a matter of ability to do so, it’s a matter of will. Major League owners have zero desire to raise salaries of minor leaguers. I nod and agree with these observations and suggestions, but they miss the point entirely. I’ve done the math on this and, yes, that’s basically correct. About how, for the price of a middle reliever per team, all minor leaguers could get something like a $10,000 a year raise. In the wake of Congress moving to exempt minor leaguers from the protection of labor laws, a lot of people have commented or messaged me with observations and suggestions about how easy it would be for baseball teams to raise minor league salaries to a the level of a living wage.

Jitsi video call3/22/2023 ![]() Because Signal uses your mobile phone number as your identifier, it's easy to invite contacts who are already in your social circle. The process is smooth and direct you can switch from a text chat to a video chat quickly and easily. However, Seth and Chris have used it before with great success. Signal wasn't a group-chat solution when we originally wrote this article, so we were unable to test it as a group. ![]() Free online course: RHEL technical overview.It's gotten many new features lately, but when we tested it, it was primarily designed for mobile, and its desktop client was limited to text chat only. It is designed for privacy and provides end-to-end encryption, and it is completely open source. Signal is an ideal replacement for personal chat applications in features, function, and security. It's a plus that it's available for deployment in a private or personal server, if the user chooses. It's worth noting that some features are only available with the desktop version of the software.Īlan Formy-Duval: Simple to log in and get underway. I don't like that password control is based on the first person in. Jessica Cherry: This one works well and does have several options that are amazing, like screengrab, kicking people from the call, muting, and password control, plus a phone app for your less technical friends. Easy audio and video input switching as neededĬhris Hermansen: I really appreciated the high quality and excellent synchronization of video and audio in the Jitsi platform and may give it a try for group chats with colleagues.Take control of mouse remotely (desktop app only).Grid view (unlimited, with up to 25 onscreen at a time).These are the features we tested, but there are many more (too many to list) with others in the works (for instance, a filter to blur your background was in beta when we tested): Even the default URL strings are sane: they tend to be somewhat long, but they're built using common words, so they're easy to type if you don't happen to have a clickable link handy. One of its unique features is that it allows you to create channel names, so instead of a long, complex URL (like /7ab9ecd340aaed_9fe2ac588466), you can invite someone to /Seth-Chris-Chat23 (or anything meaningful or easy to recall). The project itself is healthy, too, having been acquired by 8x8 in 2018, which has proven to be a good custodian of the open source codebase, with a focus on new features, usability, and reliability. Jitsi proved to be a robust and powerful platform, requiring no registration or download, but providing plenty of features to manage a group chat and diagnose connection health.

Fluid intelligence3/22/2023 ![]() You could also take a break from technology for a part of the week to work on building your intelligence. To keep challenging your brain and build your fluid intelligence, try practicing some mental maths, or ditching the satnav and using an old-fashioned map. Technology can be handy, however, relying on spellcheck, calculators and satnav might not be good for us. In our modern age, with so much technology to hand, we often don’t use our brains as much as previous generations. Use it or lose itĪnother similarity between our brains and our muscles is the idea that if we stop using them, they begin to decline. Conversely, if math is your bag, maybe you should try experimenting with flower arranging or woodworking. In practice, this means that if you are comfortable with painting and writing poetry, you should try studying science. So, in order to develop our brains, we must use a variety of skills, such as analytical skills and creativity, to solve problems. If we rely on one strategy, whether that is reasoning, imagination or any other mental skill, we do not get the full benefit. To achieve maximum neural growth, we need to use all areas of our brains. So, once you have mastered something, you need to move on to a more advanced level to keep the brain developing. Once we get comfortable with a certain level of activity, the brain stops building new connections. In order to continue to build our intelligence, we must always be pushing ourselves to our limits. The same is true of our mental capacities. We know that to build physical muscle, we have to push ourselves beyond our comfort zones. So exploring as many novel ideas and activities as we can is a good way to improve our fluid intelligence. However, doing something novel makes our brains work harder to develop new skills. Once we know how to do something, it becomes routine. ![]() When we try new things, we challenge our brains to work in new ways and to create new neural connections. So, if you want to increase your fluid intelligence, try out the following six techniques: Try new things ![]() There are also studies that suggest physical activity is a key factor. Andrea Kuszewski, a Cognitive scientist and behavior therapist, offers several strategies that might improve this type of our intelligence. However, our fluid intelligence is not built on facts and data. We learn what works and what doesn’t by a process of trial and error. We also develop this type of intelligence through our experiences. It’s the type of intelligence that is built by studying for exams in school. Our crystallized intelligence is developed by studying information and learning facts. Crystallized intelligence is the ability to use all the knowledge and experience we have built up over time.įluid intelligence is the ability to think, reason, identify patterns, solve problems and discern relationships between things.

Common Scenarios Under Which You Lose or Delete ZIP files If you lost files, remember to keep the source place well, and don't let "overwritten" make it hard work when you want to get them back. Therefore, you still can recover lost ZIP files before they are fully overwritten. When you lost ZIP files from your computer, the files are not erased permanently, but only the space that the files occupied is marked as blank and can be overwritten by new files. Lost your ZIP files? Don't worry! Generally speaking, there is a big chance to find them back. Sonic unleashed ps2 screen wobble3/21/2023 ![]() At the very least, it’s refreshing to play a Sonic game that doesn’t take itself too seriously or get bogged down in actually trying to tell an emotional story. It’s not a terribly in-depth story, but many of the jokes still land well and the pleasantly lighthearted nature of it fits the freeform style of gameplay. It doesn’t take long for them to find out that he’s exploiting a secret race of aliens called Wisps to power the park (and an evil space laser), so they endeavor to travel to all the planets to free the Wisps and save the day. The narrative primarily sticks to the classic duo of Sonic and Tails, as they travel to Eggman’s new outer space amusement park to investigate any signs of nefarious wrongdoing. Now, nearly ten years later, it’s been given a re-release as Sonic Colors Ultimate, and we can confidently say that this is still one of the best 3D Sonic games out there. ![]() Sonic Colors released at the pinnacle of that era and at the time was lauded for raising the bar and representing a promising new direction for the often troubled ‘hog. Sonic has especially struggled when it’s come to his forays into 3D environments, yet there was an all too brief period from about 2008-2011 where it seemed that Sonic Team almost had a solid idea of what they wanted a 3D Sonic game to be. The Blue Blur has starred in quite a few legitimately great games over the years, but he’s also been in just about as many clunkers that tanked his reputation.
