#workersday

Os últimos dias foram cheios de efemérides. Tivemos o aniversário de Gauss no dia 30, o #workersday no dia primeiro, o #May4th no dia 4 e o #DiaNacionalDaMatemática no dia 6. Mas poucos lembraram que no dia 5 foi o aniversário de 55 anos do famoso circuito integrado 555! https://www.heise.de/news/NE555-Der-unsterbliche-Timer-Chip-feiert-den-55-Geburtstag-11282093.html (link em alemão)

Today marks International Workers' Day, whose origins date back to the late 19th century. This day symbolizes the complex struggle for workers' rights. In the past, it was common to work 6 days a week for 12–16 hours a day, with no vacation time, not to mention safety requirements at work. Today, we are also at a turning point. Artificial intelligence is changing the value of humans and their labor, while large corporations are gaining more and more power, and capital and money are becoming increasingly concentrated. It is hard to say where this will lead. Society has already shifted its structure from slavery to feudalism, and from there to capitalism. #workersday
