Average commute looks roughly like ~1 hour/day [0]. For a company like Apple there are 137k employees [1] and ~250 work days/year so that's ~34M hours. Assuming hourly rate of $20/hour (since well paid employees like SWE are salaried and won't get extra pay) we get ~$680M/year extra payroll... Eh, I guess they could afford it, although my questions still stand.

This isn't new though. In the late 90's I worked for Best Buy and somewhere in early 2k's I got a check for $1500 to compensate for hours lost due to these kinds of loss prevention processes. I'm surprised it took this long for this to happen.
So we will be limiting this new regulation to businesses that actually can actually make a few million in profit instead of just pasting it across the whole commercial space, right?
Nobody implied that "waiting to get searched == dystopia". That's a straw man you constructed to argue with.

My point is about the overall attitude you expressed which is that it's somehow the workers' fault that their jobs are being outsourced to poor countries because they were so silly as to demand rights and compensation for time that they are forced to be at work.
>Read the rest of what I wrote. [...] but they will not hire as many people as they could if there were no costs of searching workers.

I did read it all. It is super confusing. And what you said was that Apple could hire them even with the costs of searching workers ("Sure Apple has the money to hire") but they won't because they don't have to ("but they won't because they don't legally have to"). Obviously any expense is going to change their decision calculus, but that seemed to be exactly what you weren't saying.
Success can also be built with a rich family supporting you. Either rich family, or blood sweat, and tears, you always need luck on your side. But you can buy more luck if you have a rich family.
Sure, but that's not contactless, that's chip and pin. Contactless is exactly that; you need not touch the machine (though many do).
Since when do lawyers care about the spirit of a law, instead of what the law makes possible.
The comment section, submissions themselves, upvotes, and the user profiles - some of them even reaching celebrity-like status, for better or worse - are social elements in my eyes. And yes, I would also classify the usenet and mailing lists as social media. As for Wikipedia, maybe certain parts.

On the other end you have traditional media with fewer social elements and a limited number of content publishers: the press, books, television, radio, and read-only websites.
They kind of sort of do via tax. The tax helps pay for the infrastructure that allow their employees to get to work, along with contributing to a healthy and educated workforce.

If they paid directly I think it would result in a two (or more) tiered transport network, great for people in some jobs/companies but terrible for most.
> The most bizarre aspect of mental illness is a few of them can actually be treated by drugs which are a huge blunt instrument

It’s never seemed bizarre to me. You could treat a broken leg using only morphine if you wanted to. The pain will probably go away, but the leg won’t get less broken.

> It was Wardian cases, for example, that spread the Cavendish banana around the world. That's the variety you see in shops today. William Cavendish was the president of the Horticultural Society.

I was under the impression the Cavendish was an obscure cultivar until the 1950s when Panama Disease wiped out the then-standard Gros Michel variety. I suppose that doesn’t preclude the cavendish being moved about in these boxes

qsort has to invoke your comparison function repeatedly, which incurs a lot of overhead. Try C++'s std::sort
usually the argument to keep using a bad language is “but we have all this stuff we built and we don’t have that in newer things so we can’t easily change”. but this is a new take! we can’t use new languages because we expect only these flawed ones to live FOREVER

>As a thought experiment, what if companies are made to pay for commute time?

As someone who grew up on an island I think this is a very, very, bad idea. When distance has a high cost the price of everything skyrockets.
Yeah, if I'm interpreting your words correctly, this would be like turning

p {b This} {b text is} {b bolded} this isn't

into

p {b This text is bolded} this isn't

But then the issue is as follows:

In Polymath, I'm planning on allowing basically arbitrary CSS styling by parent, id, class, etc. So if the user later wants to do something like put a rounded box around each span of bolded text, those two, while initially looking identical in WYSIWYG, end up completely different.
That's a separate issue. If Huawei violated some IP patents then why aren't they suing for that? Any meaningful R&D developments would be patented and would be publicly available and described anyways.

And if your product is so weakly innovative that a picture of the circuity or some power point slides basically give away significant trade secrets, then your product probably sucks.

These charges sound like they're for non-innovation based trade secrets, whatever those may be.
After a friend, who always posted on social media about how great their life was going, suddenly committed suicide, I quit all social media and never looked back. That was two years ago and I don’t miss any of it. On social media there is a sort of relentless peer pressure to come across as having a perfect life and I think that’s really unhealthy. I have found that having sincere relationships with a few good friends outweighs a bunch of vapid “likes” from a horde of casual acquaintances.
> What would covert acts of "simple sabotage" look like at a company like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, or Facebook?

Hitting "LGTM" without actually reviewing the change.
That's not how I remember it. I remember Slack being more or less functionally identical to HipChat, but HipChat had some PR disaster about their privacy policy that spooked the valley and "switch to Slack" became the wisdom of the day.
More and more so. I guess because wages have stagnated, and some companies actively keep employees at part-time hours to avoid paying benefits, so theft is more enticing? Dunno, just a guess.
They probably get paid on commission for walk-in sales.

I’ve seen other stores appropriate internet orders to make a sale. From the salespersons perspective they don’t have much to lose.

I used macro expansion for type checking in Zeta-C [0], the first C compiler for Lisp Machines, in 1983. Didn't write a paper about it, though.

Another bit from the article of great concern is the use of this new protocol on active duty personnel! Of course, as you noted, this is not a new thing as all branches have treated rank and file active duty as potential guinea pigs.
Nice. Command Line Arguments part is great for opening tabs for the demo use
We at Heritage can attest the prototype is working, as we've played a couple of rounds of Mortal Kombat on it using a Super Famicom cartridge.

That gave me a good laugh :). This collaboration reminds me of the Panasonic Q. Nintendo's collaboration with Panasonic that was a hybrid version of the GameCube with a DVD player: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panasonic_Q

High circular orbits move a lot slower than lower circular orbits (eg: geostationary orbits basically don't move at all relative to the ground). It's the highly elliptical orbits that have massive velocities.
I quit politics on Facebook. Just aggressively unfollow anyone who regularly posts political stuff (whether I agree or not).

That alone has turned my feed into my friends families and their kids, sports trash talking and the more urgent or relevant local stuff. It’s great.

Is this speculation to say that Starcraft is protected by copyright as an original work?

Is it speculation to say that it borrows heavily from existing universes?
>Of course it would be ideal if your employer paid you for the time it took to search you after work, but this is a luxury.

It's not a luxury for me to be paid for the only irreplaceable capital I have, which is my time. When Apple gets a benefit by using my time, I expect to be paid.
I ensure my loading graphic shows for a minimum of 333ms to make sure my users see that something was happening, just incase the operation completes too fast for the user to realize it happened.
That is whataboutism.

The US routinely massacres innocents in foreign countries then retroactively declares all the victims “terrorists”. China — to my knowledge — doesn’t engage in anywhere near the level of military aggression that the USA does.

When you compare the number of organ harvest victims to the number of “terrorists” slaughtered by incorrectly targeted missiles, who comes out ahead in the ethics game?

Do you think killing people for the sake of imaginary goals is better or worse than killing people to harvest organs?
That would seem to incentivize employees to live farther away from work. If you spend 2 hours every day sitting in traffic, that's an extra 2 hours pay you receive. I know a lot of people who would gladly jump on the opportunity to make an extra day's pay every week just by commuting an unnecessary distance.

Wow - that tea house has been operating for 900 years? I thought the previous record was a Japanese temple building company that was around for 400+ years before having to close during the global financial crisis a decade ago?!

There is that old adage in multi generational businesses that goes - "The first generation kicks off the business, the second generation builds upon what the first generation did, and the third generation squanders everything the first two generations did". In my 40+ years of business consulting I have actually seen this happen multiple times.

There must be something different about the Japanese cultural and philosophical outlook of building a business and handing it over to the next generation to carry on.
This argument only makes sense if you believe the longevity of your project is more important that the personal safety of its users. For a lot of projects that might be the case. For most commercial and major open source projects, it is not.

What I mean is not used in any of my projects or work. I have accessed it when working on Elm, and after loading it once cannot even understand why Elm a language which wants 0 runtime error in JavaScript can even accept such a slow system. Even if Elm wanted wanted a web user interface on top of IRC, they could have gone with discord app (although personally I still prefer IRC), which is far far ahead of slack when it comes to quality, latency and works much faster.

But doesn't matter in a hurry to replace e-mail with something different companies are choosing much worse solution like Slack. Email, IRC are very good. Slack is a product of spending millions on advertising and marketing and be loss making for as long as possible and than list it to let it gamble on stock exchange or get acquired by bigger company.

I've only seen across-the-board, though you can allow individual apps to bypass the filter entirely. I think it's just a filter on DNS requests, but for APKs from github:

settings -> backup -> import hosts file

You may also need to enable traffic filtering, I forget. that's at:

settings -> advanced -> Filter traffic + Block domain names

The github apks notify you about updates and link right to the download page, so they're pretty painless to use.

I gave up on cable and eventually live TV for similar reasons. I would rather read the news than be subjected to someone's sensational idea of news, which I now call olds because it's just the same thing rehashed over and over. That lead me to give up on Facebook, which I found to be the same thing rehashed over and over by different people.

I don't even watch live TV anymore, unless something I'm actually interested in is happening. I've actually watched Senate and House proceedings and election results on public TV (over the air, since I quit cable years ago), and gotten more informarion tham any news channel could dish out.

I am about to quit Twitter, because I realize how utterly useless it is. And I'll probably quit Mastodon, too, because I don't use it either.

So many people say "I can't leave, because I want to keep up with X." Since I've quit Facebook, people call and text me more than before. In lieu of sending out some mass communication and blaming me for not seeing it in a flood of atrocious content, people who want to stay connected take the time to do so in a more direct way.
You could see if a local news organization would be interested.

>Unfortunately, computers don't work that way. If you're writing a function and your syntax is incorrect, the browser won't understand what you're trying to do.

Or worse, you and the computer have different understandings about what you're trying to do and it goes along quietly incorrectly for a while until that little mistake causes a problem somewhere else entirely because that one misunderstanding caused a cascade of misunderstandings that kept building up until it finally blew out everywhere all over your program and the quest to find where the problem started begins, well before the task of fixing the problem can start.
Apple retail employees aren’t paid on commission AFAIK. Flat rate whether you buy an iPad or a $15k Mac Pro. The theory was to avoid the “grandma got talked into a multi thousand dollar computer and a billion accessories she didn’t need because that’s how the employee gets the most money.

The whole point of doing that is to not have to run dual boot or have Windows on your bare metal. Do you think someone who cares about that wants to give Google absolute power over their gaming?

Building a rig and just putting Windows 10 on it and installing steam takes about an hour if you have done it before and about 6 hours if you haven’t and have a tutorial. You could just also buy a prebuilt rig for 10 percent more.
We can solve "don't legally have to" by clarifying that they will "legally have to." As for the rest, if they want to run retail in the United States, they will comply or they will not retail in the United States. I bet they actually want Americans to be able to walk into retail stores and shop. You can't outsource that job.
Is terminal a replacement for cmd?

Or will there now be 3 variants of a command line tool?

Or is cmd = terminal?
Progress reports often appease management. Jira is good at showing that someone is doing work - every time you edit a description or add a photo, it's marked as a notice.

Another way to look at it is git commits - if remote workers are committing just as often as local ones, they're doing equal work.

This might end up with more busywork, but such is the side effect of anything where managers try to monitor work rate.
I quit facebook and it improved my relations with my friends and my outlook on life. I also am in less of a bubble.
My point is it’s funny to see people call out others’ abuse of employees when the same people, the vast majority of the time, support the abusers by choosing to support their business.

The proper response needs to be political support for laws to protect all labor with harsh penalties, not waiting for certain groups to sue in court.
It's a bit more transparent, but won't make much of a difference to the bottom line in the long run:

The actual work done won't change from the relabeling, and Apple can adjust the hourly wages to get roughly to the same level of total compensation as before. (Modulo boundary effects from America's love affair with minimum wage laws, should they kick in.)
It’s not DNSSEC for email; it’s DANE and TLSA for email. Postfix and Exim, the two most popular MTAa support DANE.

Applied Critical Thinking Handbook (Formerly the Red Team Handbook)
What makes it complicated?

Unintended consequences. Exit conditions. Will it inflame passions in neighboring areas and cause greater harm? Suppose we overthrow Assad and Syrian Kurds breakaway from a weakened Syria and establish a nation. Are we prepared to thwart the inevitable Turkish invasion? Suppose a worse tyrant ends up in power after Assad. Suppose enmity against the United States greatly increases as a result of our intervention and this unleashes attacks we aren't really prepared to deal with.

At a higher level how do we distinguish as a people from the mass killings we disapprove of versus the ones we approve of or perpetrate ourselves? How do we know that the intervention will be done with good intentions or that there is not an ulterior motive at play? How bad does a person have to be to warrant American military intervention? What about the cases where we actively support the genocidal maniac? For example in Cambodia. How do we know our intervention won't lead to a worse outcome? Is our leadership competent enough to justify a belief that our intervention will be good? Are we prepared to properly care for our soldiers who get wounded there? Do we have the money and will to properly care for them? Does it matter? Is the military capable of winning the conflict? Is there a winnable strategy that we are willing to engage in? Is our leadership sufficiently knowledgable and well informed to make good decisions?

We famously intervened in Lebanon in the 1980s. After one terrorist attack on Marine barracks we left. Do we have the political will to see the intervention to the end? Do the American people have the attention span/desire to see the thing through to its end? Do the American people care enough?
