schestowitz[TR2]It’s subjective of course but I don’t think we are choosing bias data on purpose.Sep 29 02:31
schestowitz[TR2]I can’t tell you the unemployment rate because my information is limited to a small percentage of people who need background checks but I do one to share something that’s not covered much.Sep 29 02:31
schestowitz[TR2]The majority of the “ tech” people who I see unemployed long term were not what we would have traditionally called technical workers.Sep 29 02:31
schestowitz[TR2]So sue got laid off from her technical manager job which is bad. But sue graduated with a bs in English and Ms in creative writing and just became a manager because the IT people su-ked at communicating. I honestly do not see a whole lot of very technical people out of work for a long time.Sep 29 02:31
schestowitz[TR2]Now if you are older agism might be a factor but if you can explain the difference between transformers and LLMs there’s no way you would be unemployed as of today.Sep 29 02:31
schestowitz[TR2]YMMV in what you see."Sep 29 02:31

schestowitz[TR2]"Ricky Hatton’s long-time manager says he was in a state of ‘shock and confusion’ after finding the boxer dead at his home.Sep 29 08:34
schestowitz[TR2]Paul Speak had worked with Hatton for almost 30 years and was the one who alerted police from the former world champion’s home in Hyde, Greater Manchester, earlier this month.Sep 29 08:34
schestowitz[TR2]"After hearing that Hatton had failed to attend a boxing event in Manchester on Saturday, September 13, Speak went to check on his friend early on the Sunday morning.Sep 29 08:34
schestowitz[TR2]‘The lights weren’t on, which I thought was strange. I thought he’d overslept, but it’s not unusual. People do oversleep,’ Speak told Boxing News magazine.Sep 29 08:34
schestowitz[TR2]‘So, I went inside – I have a key – shouting, ‘Rick, Rick, wake up!’ I heard music coming from upstairs, so I went upstairs… I took a look at him… I had to take some time to process it.Sep 29 08:34
schestowitz[TR2]"I was in a state of shock and confusion and loss and many more emotions. Then I called the police and the ambulance.Sep 29 08:35
schestowitz[TR2]‘But I firmly believe he didn’t intend to do it. It’s for the coroner to determine, but he had it all to live for.’Sep 29 08:35
schestowitz[TR2]Police said earlier this month that Hatton’s death is not being treated as suspicious."Sep 29 08:35
schestowitz[TR2]"Speak maintains that Hatton ‘was in a really good place’ before his death and has hit out at speculation over the 46-year-old’s relationship with his mum and dad.Sep 29 08:36
schestowitz[TR2]‘He’d arranged to take his daughters to see Oasis next week. He was planning to go to Thailand for the WBC convention and a holiday after his fight. He’d just booked a flight to Tenerife for Christmas,’ Speak said.Sep 29 08:36
schestowitz[TR2]‘I want to get the truth out, otherwise people will just speculate. There’s been a lot of rubbish written about Ricky and his parents, but he’d seen his mum just last week, gave her a big hug and some love.Sep 29 08:36
