Clock out to brown out!
Â
Chicago company penalized employees for excessive bathroom use, says union
Â
ââ¬ÅOur point of view is that anyone can go to the washroom when they need to but what bothers us is extended periods of time and multiple trips that cause lost productivity,ââ¬Â he said.
Â
To enter the bathroom, workers need to swipe their ID cards, allowing the company to know just how long they spend inside the restroom. Workers are also complaining that 19 people have been given warnings for using up more than the allotted six minutes, which they say is simply not enough time for an entire day.

Six minutes! Bad for the business end of things to rush out a good purging crap. What if you're constipated.

Their Bionic Eyes Are Now Obsolete and Unsupported |

Second Sight left users of its retinal implants in the dark
These three patients, and more than 350 other blind people around the world with Second Sight’s implants in their eyes, find themselves in a world in which the technology that transformed their lives is just another obsolete gadget. One technical hiccup, one broken wire, and they lose their artificial vision, possibly forever. To add injury to insult: A defunct Argus system in the eye could cause medical complications or interfere with procedures such as MRI scans, and it could be painful or expensive to remove.
Neural implants—devices that interact with the human nervous system, either on its periphery or in the brain—are part of a rapidly growing category of medicine that’s sometimes called electroceuticals. Some technologies are well established, like deep-brain stimulators that reduce tremors in people with Parkinson’s disease. But recent advances in neuroscience and digital technology have sparked a gold rush in brain tech, with the outsized investments epitomized by Elon Musk’s buzzy brain-implant company, Neuralink. Some companies talk of reversing depression, treating Alzheimer’s disease, restoring mobility, or even dangle the promise of superhuman cognition.
Not all these companies will succeed, and Los Angeles–based Second Sight provides a cautionary tale for bold entrepreneurs interested in brain tech. What happens when cutting-edge implants fail, or simply fade away like yesterday’s flip phones and Betamax? Even worse, what if the companies behind them go bust?
