As I wrote for EFF: You cannot predict crime, what you can do is weaponize people's proximity to policing. In a neighborhood with a lot of police? Have a lot of friends or neighbors that have been arrested? Guess what the data now says about you...

Literally the only “sign” of the issue gaining traction is the existence of the article itself, which is fun in a meta way, but not exactly illuminating of the opinions of New York voters outside the NYT newsroom.

The idea is that there's a secret resistance to the rise of fascism, so I really do get the appeal. Sadly, Democratic leadership hasn't offered any real resistance to Trump, so the average liberal is left with QAnon-style grifters who are just copying articles without attribution and selling merch.

It is speculated that "active management" is euphemism for "forcing them to resign" since these people are technically contractors employed by Adecco and Huawei can't fire them. The memo apparently advocates for hiring applicants with flawed profiles so that they won't leave these positions.

These jobs are advertised as "Huawei OD" in job listings, where OD stands for “outsourcing dispatch”, but they never spell this out in job listings. More recently, an internal memo about "active management of OD personnel" was leaked(github.com/Younghusband...).

Huawei's labor practices are even worse today. They no longer employ new software engineers except for new graduates. Anyone else who works for them are nominally contractors employed by Adecco despite exclusively working for Huawei. These contractors are paid less, and can't join profit sharing.
