02:38 schestowitz; Story on layoffs
02:38 schestowitz; Hi everyone,
02:38 schestowitz; My name's Yowei Shaw and I'm a journalist working on a story for the podcast This American Life (www.thisamericanlife.org) about layoffs, after getting laid off myself from NPR (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/25/us/npr-layoffs-podcasts.html).

02:38 schestowitz; It was an awful experience and I'm so sorry Microsoft is facing layoffs right now.
02:38 schestowitz; Which is why I'm reaching out. I'm looking to talk to workers knew layoffs were coming, but had to wait to find out if they were on the list. I'm hoping this story can shed light on what it's like to go through this and some of the larger questions and issues that surround layoffs.
02:38 schestowitz; If you're open to talking, please get in touch this week or next at shaw.yr@gmail.com. I can tell you more about what I'm working on, and if it helps, we can speak on background or off the record. Feel free to pass this along to anyone who's in the same situation and if you have any leads, I'm all ears.
02:38 schestowitz; Thanks so much for considering. Sending my very best to you and your colleagues.
02:38 schestowitz; Oh and here's my website (www.yoweishaw.com) if you want to find out more about me and my previous work.
02:38 schestowitz; Take care,
02:38 schestowitz; Yowei

02:38 schestowitz; Satya driving us to new heights.
02:38 schestowitz; Except for those being kicked to the curb after record earnings, yeah except for those guys. Its ok though because its best for the company and so long as they are told we are going in a different direction so you have to go, hearing that from HR makes it all ok.
02:38 schestowitz; Im sure at first those being laid off were quite upset and angry but after hearing those words, well it just smoothed things over. So all is forgiven.

09:39 schestowitz; "The last time I looked, EPC did not say that public prior use requires reproduecability. Allowing that a commercially available product might not constitute part of the prior art opens up the possibility of "forever patents". Even simple mechnical devices could be made tamper-proof so that there would be "undue burden" for the skilled person to figure out how they work and the producer could every 20 years or so pat
