If you hold the stock and make a knowingly false statement about the stock in an attempt to move the market, particularly without disclosing that you hold the shares, it may be securities fraud.

The line is very difficult to draw between constitutionally protected speech and securities fraud. [1]

I worked a similar job when I was out of college at FedEx. I unloaded trailers by hand, usually just 2 of us. We were expected to go nonstop until it was done, and our boxes per minute thru-put was closely monitored. It was hard, back breaking work & it paid minimum wage. I did it at the time because I didn't have many other opportunities. I imagine this is one of the best jobs available to these people, for one reason or another, otherwise they wouldn't voluntarily work there. Should this be the larger issue we are discussing?

I did find the whole exchange very gross. Some girl who thinks she knows everything about what it's like working at Amazon from reading a few news articles. She was very rude and mean to those people. Kind of ironic she's 'fighting' to improve those peoples working conditions, meanwhile (while they are working) she's actively directing nasty comments and leading others to do the same.

We all know it feels bad when people give negative comments on social media. How does she think those folks will feel when they go home after a full day of negativity directed at them from strangers on the internet?

You're assuming that countries with no existing infrastructure would build it the same way we did.

If you're a small African village, having a couple of solar panels is way better than a coal power plant. You don't need roads and trains to continuously ship in coal or the lights go out. You can get more buildings electrified before you have a stable power grid because you have decentralized generation. You can have small/cheap storage batteries because you build infrastructure to begin with that demand shifts to during the day -- pressurize a water tank during sunlight hours so that you have running water through the night with no nighttime power consumption. Use high efficiency LED lighting to minimize how much battery you need. And so on. All of which is cheaper when you design for it from the start.

Whereas if you're at the stage of India or China with a real power grid where you have to start worrying about baseload, that's when you build nuclear. Assuming that declining storage costs don't eventually make even that unnecessary.

About the only thing fossil fuels are still good for is as an emergency battery for long periods of low generation from renewables. But then you're not building them as baseload power generation and they only get run one week out of the year. And even then it's still not coal, because you can do that with natural gas, which is currently cheaper (and cleaner and emits less carbon).

Copper-Fructose Interactions: A Novel Mechanism in the Pathogenesis of NAFLD
Yet I find the discussion focusing on the meta level of the conversation medium, and not on the higher-order level of society in general, and how a paid collective of actors can overwhelm the power of the individual, to be disingenuous, and potentially a distractionary measure from the far more important conversation around the role of large corporations controlling narratives in our society. It reeks to me of the same debate-club nonsense, where someone can be arguing about some human atrocity, but the second someone makes some sort of named argumentative slip up, the conversation gets recentered completely on semantics or the medium of debate, completely destroying the discussion of the actual higher-order issue effecting the meta-connections between humans and the structures we deem permissible in governing us all...
Hello! Dmitri, author of MiniKanban and some other apps here. A brief FAQ:

Q: What is it?

A: It's a desktop Windows app that implements a Kanban board. You can think of it as an advanced to-do list.

Q: Why is it better than Trello or any other Kanban software of which there are thousands?

A: Originally it was a an over-weekend pet project for my own needs. I needed a Kanban board for quick short-term projects that can link tasks to files on my PC since I myself is mostly a desktop developer. I found none.

Q: Why is it not free?

A: I am indie software vendor, I make living from selling my software products, so this one is commercial too. Compared to cloud-based services it's moderately fairly priced, with one-time fee of 49USD, and no subscriptions.

Some concrete actions that could help Hong Kong:

1. For governments worldwide:

1a. Freeze the assets of senior officials of the Chinese and Hong Kong governments who violated human rights, in the style of Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019.

1b. Stop exporting crowd-control equipment to Hong Kong which could be used by the Police Force.

2. For citizens worldwide:

2a. Urge your governments to do the above.

2b. Stop collaborating with China in the research and development of surveillance technology, which is being used also in Xinjiang.

2c. Purchase goods and services not from Chinese sources.

> Also why does it have to be "large quantities"? Buy 1 share and you're a part owner. Many large companies have stock plans. It's not rare and if you're an employee then by definition you "have money" from working.

Because the distinction is whether one's primary activity is using capital to gain income, versus working for pay. "Ah but a worker may own some shares!" isn't important. It's tough to nail down color names at transition points, too, but you add a tiny bit of white to some very red paint and no-one's gonna start calling it pink. It's still red.

[EDIT] at the heart of the misunderstanding, here, is a false syllogism, I think. "Pink paint is red mixed with white, you mixed some white in this red, therefore it is now pink"; "The capitalist class own capital, this worker owns some capital, therefore this worker is part of the capitalist class"; "The capitalist class owns capital, this guy owns and operates a hot dog stand, a hotdog stand is capital, therefore this guy is part of the capitalist class". It's quite similar to another that's often seen: "Mugging is taking something by threat of force, governments ultimately back taxation with the threat of force, therefore taxation is the same as mugging" or variations that end up at at some form of "taxation is the same thing as theft, so your thinking is inconsistent if you don't transfer all your bad feelings about theft to taxation, as well".
So far we haven't hit any roadblocks with the platforms being unsupported. I'm not sure exactly what others referred to, but in our case, our Rust code is effectively "headless".

> No one is working on aiming for 100% nuclear because it's just a plain stupid idea.

That was the France plan from the 1970s: 100% nuclear, as a way of getting off oil dependency. As we can see, 80% was achievable, 100% wasn't, and the decommissioning costs are starting to become a question.

Putting aside that you've given up entirely on any form of discourse with the account you're responding to...

You aren't only talking to that account - you are having a public conversation in front of millions of people.

...and if the discussion goes something like:

Company A: "We believe in xyz."

Twitter B: "You are an <insert insult>."

...then what benefit have you delivered to the other millions of people reading? All you are doing is stroking the ego of those who agree, and fueling outrage for those that don't. No ones position is evolving.

Instead, you should recognize that the audience of your comment is the millions of silent readers whose combined opinions/votes/dollars have an actual impact. To them, a logical, well reasoned, and UN-emotional argument is persuasive, and far more likely to help you achieve your goal.

Why Integration Tests won't save you or your software
> "Because then you're really just testing that the framework itself isn't buggy"

Not in all cases, I maintain some component libraries (mostly React, but a Svelte one too) and ensuring a standard component interface is pretty valuable imho. Enzyme as an example lets you test React components, props, state, etc in isolation but is not very prescriptive about what you 'should' test.
>As it turns out, many people use these security cams to secure their homes and don't want thieves to know that they're being watched

I don't get this argument. The whole reason the fake security camera market exists is to deter crime by giving the illusion of being actively watched; if you want to play spy and switch it off to prove a person's true nature it is your business, but at the end of the day the crime has still been committed and your stuff is still gone

> The paper you link doesn't show that Huawei is government-owned (as is pretty clear from the abstract)

You're wrong. The paper's abstract says that Huawei is effectively government-owned, given the known facts. Read the last quoted paragraph carefully:

> * The Huawei operating company is 100% owned by a holding company, which is in turn approximately 1% owned by Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei and 99% owned by an entity called a “trade union committee” for the holding company.

> * We know nothing about the internal governance procedures of the trade union committee. We do not know who the committee members or other trade union leaders are, or how they are selected.

> ...

> * Given the public nature of trade unions in China, if the ownership stake of the trade union committee is genuine, and if the trade union and its committee function as trade unions generally function in China, then Huawei may be deemed effectively state-owned.

Also, ownership is just a specific cultural form of control. It's not synonymous with control, and lack of ownership does not necessarily imply a lack of control. The issue with Huawei isn't so much who owns is but who controls it. Hair-splitting arguments about ownership just distract from the issue.

"The reality is, the old people who you regularly interact with are XYZ. We can't conclude anything about old people in general based on your personal experiences. "

True.

Hence why I state that there is a bias to begin with.

The point of my comment is that other people are possibly engaged the same process but without realizing their bias, and thereby making an unwarranted conclusion about all older folks in general.
Same experience here in India. Larger companies (with $billions in revenue) pay in 1-3 months. Small/medium companies pay in a week.

The problem is that in big companies, nobody really owns anything. So you're going to have to chase a whole bunch of people and processes, from finance to compliance to HR. And it's not individually any single person's fault.

It's a winner of an idea, because Facebook lets us work around the real goal of grandparents when they ask us for regular updates; attention. Giving our elderly family members ways of passively observing us defeats their goal of wanting us to talk to them, but a NanaGram is a specific, actionable gift that demonstrates this abstract, "Well they must be thinking of me!" concept that they can then extrapolate however they need.
I think they also know that the cost of onboarding new providers for large corporations is high, so vendors tend to price enterprise higher than SB, since they know there is more reporting and more hoops to jump through.

Personally as a self employed consultant, I'd take the financing. Not so much for cash flow (though it is a consideration), but just my overall paranoia toward not getting paid and always valuing a bird in hand. But I've been burnt before.
How about don't put Google surveillance cameras in your home? You don't "own" anything Google or Microsoft sells you. You are licensing their tech and you are their bitch when they decide to pull the rug out from under you. People tolerate such abusive, anti-consumer behavior and invasion of privacy all in the name of convenience. In any relationship people have an ethical responsibility to not enable abusive behavior (to the extent possible) -- this goes for people just as well as amoral corporations. So just don't fucking use their shit.
They use a social media management tool (sprinklr?) which lets them track conversations across accounts. It's designed for e.g. customer support.

It's still pretty mysterious to me. I can't really grok statistical trends - I need stories of individuals and why they felt, for example, at some moment in time, paying a dollar for a bottle of water felt like a reasonable thing to do over just like, asking someone to fill a bottle they probably had in their car.

Get Started Easily: New Onboarding in Hosted Mender
It makes me sad every time I see strong American businesses getting into the "financial engineering" business. It's not just GE. Every time I take a flight nowadays the attendants come around pitching some airline branded credit card; you buy a shirt at a clothing store and are asked to sign up for a credit card; buying diapers at Target--"do you want to sign up for the Target debit card"?

American banks and "financial engineers" are good at screwing over the 80% of the population, and transferring wealth to the 1%, and the fact that they are able to pull in great American companies into their schemes is embarrassing, disheartening, and in the case of GE Capital, foreboding.

For decades they were screwing me over and then when I joined the 1% it was suddenly, "hey, come open a bank account with us and we'll give you $5K!" Shameless.
