Plot armor but it’s Bruce Wayne’s wealth.

Bruce is one of the richest men in the world. Bruce does not want to be one of the richest men in world.

He starts by implementing high starting salaries and full health care coverages for all levels at Wayne Enterprises. This in vastly improves retention and worker productivity, and WE profits soar. He increases PTO, grants generous parental and family leave, funds diversity initiatives, boosts salaries again. WE is ranked “#1 worker-friendly corporation”, and productively and profits soar again.

Ok, so clearly investing his workers isn’t the profit-destroying doomed strategy his peers claim it is. Bruce is going to keep doing it obviously (his next initiative is to ensure all part-time and contractors get the same benefits and pay as full time employees), but he is going to have to find a different way to dump his money.

But you know what else is supposed to be prohibitively expensive? Green and ethical initiatives. Yes, Bruce can do that. He creates and fund a 10 year plan to covert all Wayne facilities to renewable energy. He overhauls all factories to employ the best environmentally friendly practices and technologies. He cuts contracts with all suppliers that engage in unethical employment practices and pays for other to upgrade their equipment and facilities to meet WE’s new environmental and safety requirements. He spares no expense.

Yeah, Wayne Enterprises is so successful that they spin off an entire new business arm focused on helping other companies convert to environmentally friendly and safe practices like they did in an efficient, cost effective, successful way.

Admittedly, investing in his own company was probably never going to be the best way to get rid of his wealth. He slashes his own salary to a pittance (god knows he has more money than he could possibly know what to do with already) and keeps investing the profits back into the workers, and WE keeps responding with nearly terrifying success.

So WE is a no-go, and Bruce now has numerous angry billionaires on his back because they’ve been claiming all these measures he’s implementing are too expensive to justify for decades and they’re finding it a little hard to keep the wool over everyone’s eyes when Idiot Softheart Bruice Wayne has money spilling out his ears. BUT Bruce can invest in Gotham. That’ll go well, right?

Gotham’s infrastructure is the OSHA anti-Christ and even what little is up to code is constantly getting destroyed by Rogue attacks. Surely THAT will be a money sink.

Except the only non-corrupt employer in Gotham city is….Wayne Enterprises. Or contractors or companies or businesses that somehow, in some way or other, feed back to WE. Paying wholesale for improvement to Gotham’s infrastructure somehow increases WE’s profits.

Bruce funds a full system overhaul of Gotham hospital (it’s not his fault the best administrative system software is WE—he looked), he sets up foundations and trusts for shelters, free clinics, schools, meal plans, day care, literally anything he can think of.

Gotham continues to be a shithole. Bruce Wayne continues to be richer than god against his Batman-ingrained will.

Oh, and Bruice Wayne is no longer viewed as solely a spoiled idiot nepo baby. The public responds by investing in WE and anything else he owns, and stop doing this, please.

Bruce sets up a foundation to pay the college tuition of every Gotham citizen who applies. It’s so successful that within 10 years, donations from previous recipients more than cover incoming need, and Bruce can’t even donate to his own charity.

But by this time, Bruce has children. If he can’t get rid of his wealth, he can at least distribute it, right?

Except Dick Grayson absolutely refuses to receive any of his money, won’t touch his trust fund, and in fact has never been so successful and creative with his hacking skills as he is in dumping the money BACK on Bruce. Jason died and won’t legally resurrect to take his trust fund. Tim has his own inherited wealth, refuses to inherit more, and in fact happily joins forces with Dick to hack accounts and return whatever money he tries to give them. Cass has no concept of monetary wealth and gives him panicked, overwhelmed eyes whenever he so much as implies offering more than $100 at once. Damian is showing worrying signs of following in his precious Richard’s footsteps, and Babs barely allows him to fund tech for the Clocktower. At least Steph lets him pay for her tuition and uses his credit card to buy unholy amounts of Batburger. But that is hardly a drop in the ocean of Bruce’s wealth. And she won’t even accept a trust fund of only one million.

Jason wins for best-worst child though because he currently runs a very lucrative crime empire. And although he pours the vast, vast majority of his profits back into Crime Alley, whenever he gets a little too rich for his tastes, he dumps the money on Bruce. At this point, Bruce almost wishes he was being used for money laundering because then he’s at least not have the money.

So children—generous, kindhearted, stubborn till the day they die the little shits, children—are also out.

Bruce was funding the Justice League. But then finances were leaked, and the public had an outcry over one man holding so much sway over the world’s superheroes (nevermind Bruce is one of those superheroes—but the public can’t know that). So Bruce had to do some fancy PR trickery, concede to a policy of not receiving a majority of funds from one individual, and significantly decrease his contributions because no one could match his donations.

At his wits end, Bruce hires a team of accounts to search through every crinkle and crevice of tax law to find what loopholes or shortcuts can be avoided in order to pay his damn taxes to the MAX.

The results are horrifying. According to the strictest definition of the law, the government owes him money.

Bruce burns the report, buries any evidence as deeply as he can, and organizes a foundation to lobby for FAR higher taxation of the upper class.

All this, and Wayne Enterprises is happily chugging along, churning profit, expanding into new markets, growing in the stock market, and trying to force the credit and proportionate compensation on their increasingly horrified CEO.

Bruce Wayne is one of the richest men in the world. Bruce Wayne will never not be one of the richest men in the world.

But by GOD is he trying.

What are AI, AGI, and ASI? And the positive impact of AI

Understanding artificial intelligence (AI) involves more than just recognizing lines of code or scripts; it encompasses developing algorithms and models capable of learning from data and making predictions or decisions based on what they’ve learned. To truly grasp the distinctions between the different types of AI, we must look at their capabilities and potential impact on society.

To simplify, we can categorize these types of AI by assigning a power level from 1 to 3, with 1 being the least powerful and 3 being the most powerful. Let’s explore these categories:

1. Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI)

Also known as Narrow AI or Weak AI, ANI is the most common form of AI we encounter today. It is designed to perform a specific task or a narrow range of tasks. Examples include virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, recommendation systems on Netflix, and image recognition software. ANI operates under a limited set of constraints and can’t perform tasks outside its specific domain. Despite its limitations, ANI has proven to be incredibly useful in automating repetitive tasks, providing insights through data analysis, and enhancing user experiences across various applications.

2. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

Referred to as Strong AI, AGI represents the next level of AI development. Unlike ANI, AGI can understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks, similar to human intelligence. It can reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, and learn from experiences. While AGI remains a theoretical concept as of now, achieving it would mean creating machines capable of performing any intellectual task that a human can. This breakthrough could revolutionize numerous fields, including healthcare, education, and science, by providing more adaptive and comprehensive solutions.

3. Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI)

ASI surpasses human intelligence and capabilities in all aspects. It represents a level of intelligence far beyond our current understanding, where machines could outthink, outperform, and outmaneuver humans. ASI could lead to unprecedented advancements in technology and society. However, it also raises significant ethical and safety concerns. Ensuring ASI is developed and used responsibly is crucial to preventing unintended consequences that could arise from such a powerful form of intelligence.

The Positive Impact of AI

When regulated and guided by ethical principles, AI has the potential to benefit humanity significantly. Here are a few ways AI can help us become better:

• Healthcare: AI can assist in diagnosing diseases, personalizing treatment plans, and even predicting health issues before they become severe. This can lead to improved patient outcomes and more efficient healthcare systems.

• Education: Personalized learning experiences powered by AI can cater to individual student needs, helping them learn at their own pace and in ways that suit their unique styles.

• Environment: AI can play a crucial role in monitoring and managing environmental changes, optimizing energy use, and developing sustainable practices to combat climate change.

• Economy: AI can drive innovation, create new industries, and enhance productivity by automating mundane tasks and providing data-driven insights for better decision-making.

In conclusion, while AI, AGI, and ASI represent different levels of technological advancement, their potential to transform our world is immense. By understanding their distinctions and ensuring proper regulation, we can harness the power of AI to create a brighter future for all.

Important things the Guardians did:

Basically wanted to go through everything my Guardian family did as Guardians in their time that kinda makes them well known/iconic for their time and what was their most notable acts and achievements.

Shepherd- Basically, the pioneer. He set the bar. He gets props being the first one tbh Probably fought in a major war in his time and just had to solve a lot of issues with fighting... very tiring. I don't want to go into detail about a lot of 'physical' acts such as battles and fights, those are just probs obvious.

Marcello- Extended Scientific Research and revolutionised it in his time. Probablay made at least one scientific discovery.

Hadar- Reinstated diplomatic solutions and stopped a lot of issues the island was having through diplomacy. Something like that. Also improved health care and started to touch on many social and political issues

Rhett- Mental Health awareness, Anti-bullying for children and increasing the quality of children's services to protect them.

Coal- LGBT+ support and fighting for rights for the people.

Johnathan- Equality, LGBT+ Rights, Workers Rights and a lot of social issues

Morgan- Revolutionised Research on Chaos Energy and improved it's study of i. Also was an advocate for equal rights, as well as a lot of her other family but her becoming the first female guardian was the biggest reason she was known for it despite it not being her priority.

Chase- Worked to improve the education system, advocating for neurodivergent youth and people in general. Also advocated for trans folks and even got the island more well-known in the athletic world by going to an off-island international sports event with other angel island athletes.

Theodore- Mostly advocated for children getting better care and protection when abused or endangered, donated to improve hospitals and prisons and tried to improve on diplomatic solutions and was the most well-known for visiting hospitals occasionally to do origami and music with the patients, the visits increased more so after his trauma.

Seth- Extended communications outside of island with other regions further and also introduced more cultures to the island as well as showing off theirs with other places.

Sorrel- Improving medical practice, especially for trans people but in general wanting to improve medical practice. Also stepped in to improve the environment on their island, trying to make lifestyle more environmentally friendly and organic solutions and protect endangered plant life.

Tiberius- Worked on improving mechanical workings and engineering also worked to improve transportation on the island to make it more efficient, both in cars and also public transportation to make travelling through the island smooth and not try and destroy all of it for the sake of 'roads'.

Journey- Improved International agreements with the island and even got new ones due to her going off island much more than any other guardian, as well as improved international trading to and from the island so they got a lot more imported goods and could do international trades smoothly. Also stood for equal rights, but took it a step further but discussing and advocating the issues all species, sexes and genders face.

Cedar- not an official guardian but did a lot of volunteer work and went off island to assist in many troubled cities, countries and islands. Also advocated a lot about unknown health issues such as his.

Salem- advocate for animal rights, worked to improve animal protection, trying to protect endangered and native species. Also worked to improve the livestock industry and making It more sustainable for the island.

Lance- Technological and software developments and Inventions that are unique to Angel Island. Well as adding even more technological aide to angel island and also increased awareness on internet usage and safety. Also advocated many physical and mental health causes, especially ones that were close to him.

Knuckles has a lot to live up to huh? no pressure buddy... fr tho the family tries to indicate so much to the newbie to please dont' feel pressured just do what you feel you want/need to do to improve the island the best way you think possible.

EDIT: should also give hounrable mention to Evangeline, while she was not a guardian. She did plant the seeds for the guardian concept (despite them being much more different then what was made of the idea) as well as her engineering developments/ideas and political stance still being known, used and looked upon highly to this day.

Top 10 Trends in Facility Management

The pandemic has altered the way almost every business operates. From restaurants and retail to office buildings and factories, nearly every industry has undergone a drastic change in day-to-day operations with new safety mandates and public health protocols. These changes have forced organizations to prioritize facilities management solutions that meet consumer expectations and provide a seamless and engaging experience both on-site and off. As a result, today’s facilities managers must be proactive and knowledgeable of the latest trends in the industry if they want to take their operations to the next level. Here are the top 10 trends that are streamlining the facilities management workflow.

Top 10 Facilities Management Trends in 2022

1. Improved Communications

Communications between FMs and industry partners will continue to be a priority in the field. Cutting-edge software, like the project management systems we use at National Facilities Direct, will lead the way toward optimal efficiency and streamlined communication. Facility managers will play an integral role in laying the infrastructure that will improve the communication process between collaborators to better facilitate project workflow.

2. Increase in Smart Technology

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to grow, facility managers will have more access to advanced technology with sensors, processing abilities, and automation that create a more flexible and interactive experience for technicians, employees, and visitors. Smart technology can help facilities managers create a comfortable, energy-efficient environment and optimize building functions ranging from fire protection, security, and asset tracking systems, as well as lighting management, HVAC maintenance, and smart parking.

3. Using Artificial Intelligence to Enhance Collaboration

As facilities become more and more digitized, communication is critical for successful collaboration between teams. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the ability to simplify systems integration by streamlining communication between different departments and breaking down barriers preventing teams from working together.

4. Building Information Modeling

FMs will begin to see an increase in Building Information Modeling (BIM). BIM is software that maps the physical characteristics of a building over its lifetime. This system helps architects, builders, and FMs plan smarter buildings and take a more proactive approach to repairs using data from BIM software. This can help reduce costs, improve efficiency, reduce safety risks, and enhance facilities management.

5. Planned Preventative Maintenance

Similar to BIM, Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) is a way to use technology to formalize and anticipate maintenance needs. This predictive maintenance model helps you proactively plan for regularly scheduled maintenance as well as provides a system to quickly adapt to unexpected changes. This proactive approach helps save time and money in the future, rather than reacting to new needs as they arise, because it allows FMs to better understand the assets of each building so you and your partners can make plans for the unexpected.

6. Data-Driven Decision-Making

The changes we’ve all experienced over the last few years will undoubtedly create a hefty database of information, data, and statistics. As FMs plan for upcoming projects, they will rely more heavily on this data to better inform their decision-making process. Utilizing data can help reduce overhead, minimize downtime, increase efficiency and improve system calibration.

7. Greater Environmental Approach

Companies in nearly all industries are being proactive and placing greater priority on eco-friendly practices that limit or negate their carbon footprint. FMs should be directly involved in these conversations and can expect to see more emphasis on innovative energy management solutions and how eco-friendly factors will affect employees, customers, and the environment.

8. Flexible Workspaces

As more organizations begin to move back into the office, the landscape of the working environment will change. Whether moving fully back into the office or developing a hybrid model, FMs should anticipate how the changes in workflow will alter the building needs and operations. Technology will also play a role, as organizations may have used the pandemic to review their technological needs.

9. Personalized Work Environment

As more and more employees return to the office, they will expect a similar feeling of comfort and ease that they experienced at home. While human resource managers may focus on accommodating those shifts, FMs may be asked to deliver Soft FM functions that foster a good environment to improve employee retention as well as customer loyalty.

10. Simplicity with Self-Supported Integrated Facilities Management

Between the changes in workflow, personnel, and the general world around us, we could all use a little simplicity in our lives. From improved processes to enhanced technology, FMs can expect to consolidate, group, and maximize resources to minimize manpower. Self-supported integrated facilities management simplifies workflows and processes to create more time for planning and utilizing budgets on proactive technologies to drive success.

Utilizing Industry Trends

These cutting-edge trends pave the way toward better service and better performance. By taking a proactive approach to facilities management technology, communication, and processes, you can build trust and become a leader in your industry.

What are the latest warehouse automation technologies?

Gone are the days of manual labour and static, inefficient operations. Today, we stand at the forefront of a revolution driven by the latest warehouse automation technologies. These innovations reshape how businesses handle inventory, fulfil orders, and optimize supply chains.

From autonomous robots and artificial intelligence to the Internet of Things (IoT) and advanced data analytics, we'll explore how these technologies enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure seamless operations in modern warehouses.

1-Robotic Process Automation (RPA): RPA involves using software robots to automate repetitive tasks like data entry, order processing, and inventory tracking. The robots interact with various systems and applications to streamline workflows.

2-Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs): Robotic vehicles called AMRs navigate and operate in warehouses without fixed infrastructure, such as conveyor belts or tracks. They perform tasks like picking, packing, and transporting goods.

3-Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs): AGVs are similar to AMRs but typically follow fixed paths or routes guided by physical markers or magnetic tape. They are commonly used for material transport in warehouses and distribution centres.

4-Goods-to-Person Systems: This approach involves bringing the items to the workers rather than having workers travel throughout the warehouse to pick items. Automated systems retrieve and deliver goods to a workstation, reducing walking time and improving efficiency.

5-Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS): AS/RS systems use robotics to store and retrieve items from racks or shelves automatically. These systems can significantly increase storage density and optimize space utilization.

6-Collaborative Robots (Cobots): Cobots are designed to work alongside human workers. They can assist with tasks like picking, packing and sorting, enhancing efficiency and safety.

7-Warehouse Management Systems (WMS): While not a physical automation technology, modern WMS software uses advanced algorithms and AI to optimize inventory management, order fulfilment, and warehouse processes.

8-Vision Systems and Machine Learning: Computer vision technology combined with machine learning can be utilized for tasks such as object recognition, inventory movement tracking, and quality control.

9-IoT and Sensor Networks: Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors collect real-time data on inventory levels, environmental conditions, equipment health, and more, enabling better decision-making and predictive maintenance.

10-Voice and Wearable Technologies: Wearable devices and voice-guided picking systems can provide workers with real-time information and instructions, improving accuracy and efficiency.11-Automated Packaging Solutions: These systems automate the packaging process by selecting the appropriate box size, sealing packages, and applying labels, reducing manual labour and ensuring consistent packaging quality.

Statutory Compliance for IT Companies in Bangalore

Statutory compliance refers to the legal requirements and regulations that a company or organization must adhere to in order to operate within the bounds of the law. These requirements vary depending on the industry and location, but can include things like paying taxes, obtaining licenses and permits, and meeting safety and environmental standards.

In Bangalore, a city known for its booming technology industry, statutory compliance is particularly important for companies in the software development and IT services sectors. These companies must not only comply with national laws and regulations, but also adhere to industry-specific guidelines set by organizations like the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI).

One of the key areas of statutory compliance services in Bangalore for IT companies, is data protection and privacy. The MeitY has established guidelines for the collection, storage, and use of personal data, which IT companies must follow to ensure they are not in violation of any laws. Additionally, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe also applies to companies that process the personal data of EU citizens, regardless of where the company is based.

Another area of statutory compliance for companies in Bangalore is labor laws and workplace safety. The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, and The Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Central Rules, 1946 are the key regulations that companies must follow to ensure the safety and well-being of their employees.

One of the challenges of statutory compliance is staying up-to-date with the latest regulations and laws. The IT industry in Bangalore is constantly evolving, and new laws and guidelines are frequently introduced. Companies must stay abreast of these changes and ensure they are in compliance with the latest requirements.

To manage statutory compliance, many companies in Bangalore have implemented compliance management systems, which are designed to help organizations keep track of their compliance status and identify areas where improvements are needed. These systems typically include features like automated compliance checks, tracking of compliance-related documents, and reporting tools that make it easy to identify and address any issues.

In addition to compliance management systems, companies in Bangalore also rely on the services of legal and compliance professionals to help them navigate the complex landscape of statutory compliance. These professionals can provide guidance on compliance requirements, help companies stay up-to-date with the latest regulations, and assist with compliance-related issues as they arise.

In conclusion, statutory compliance is a critical issue for companies operating in Bangalore, particularly those in the IT industry. Adhering to legal requirements and regulations is essential for protecting the company, its employees, and its customers. By implementing compliance management systems and working with legal and compliance professionals, companies in Bangalore can ensure they are in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations and minimize the risk of non-compliance penalties.

Yeah! And food safety rules.

One of the software projects I am most proud of is a restaurant inspection system. In the 90s it was common for restaurant inspectors to carry paper forms on clipboards around as they went from place to place, grading the restaurants for rule compliance. My system duplicated that paper form on a laptop computer and eventually, tablets.

In the course of its development I interacted with a lot of environmental health employees. I'd follow them around to learn how their jobs worked, so the software could work.

And... jesus. The things I saw. I will never eat at a buffet again. Ever.

Once I asked why there were so many questions? So many inspection points per form? I mean, there were hundreds. And every one of them weighted with a score that adds up to pass/fail for the restaurant... it was a lot of data, and if we could streamline any of it that would be great.

And every single one of those guys said the same thing: that every inspection point was there because somebody died.

I’m convinced it was an interdimensional portal
