[02:31] schestowitz[TR2] I cant 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 thats not covered much. [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. [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. [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 theres no way you would be unemployed as of today. [02:31] schestowitz[TR2] YMMV in what you see."

[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 champions home in Hyde, Greater Manchester, earlier this month. [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. [08:34] schestowitz[TR2] The lights werent on, which I thought was strange. I thought hed overslept, but its not unusual. People do oversleep, Speak told Boxing News magazine. [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. [08:35] 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. [08:35] schestowitz[TR2] But I firmly believe he didnt intend to do it. Its for the coroner to determine, but he had it all to live for. [08:35] schestowitz[TR2] Police said earlier this month that Hattons death is not being treated as suspicious." [08:36] 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-olds relationship with his mum and dad. [08:36] schestowitz[TR2] Hed 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. Hed just booked a flight to Tenerife for Christmas, Speak said. [08:36] schestowitz[TR2] I want to get the truth out, otherwise people will just speculate. Theres been a lot of rubbish written about Ricky and his parents, but hed seen his mum just last week, gave her a big hug and some love. ● Sep 29 [14:29] *MinceR has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [14:31] *psydroid3 (~psydroid@36imbvshpgubk.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Sep 29 [15:08] *MinceR (~mincer@bringer.of.light) has joined #techbytes [15:08] *irc.techrights.org sets mode +a #techbytes MinceR ● Sep 29 [17:53] *x-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
