When you leave an employer in the US you generally cash-out your PTO rather than getting paid gardening-leave if you have a NDA/non-compete (such niceties in the US? hah!) - at the same time, it isn't unheard of to instead use your PTO to spend time starting with your new employer - so that if things don't work-out (or rather: things going disastrously wrong in the first couple of weeks) you can go back to your old employer and pretend that you were legitimately on holiday somewhere far, far away for that time. Being able to safely "undo" something as major as an employment change is a huge stress-reliever and I think more people should consider doing it.

Granted, this isn't the same thing as actively working for both companies. However it's possible the subject of the tweet was someone who was a vendor/contractor at FB or GOOG - or vice-versa - which has certain appearances.
Maybe not illegal from a tax point of view but illegal as hell for someone on a H1B visa (which quite a significant number of employees in these companies have).
> What does it mean to "build" one?

It goes beyond institutional policy -- it is social in nature.

Don't hire assholes. Guide your subordinates away from doing things that might isolate others. Organize interactions that encourage different groups of people to interact and build rapport with each other. Demonstrate to your employees that it is valuable to be inclusive.

The only people with the power to build an inclusive culture are the people with institutional power.
I think you have causation backwards. Homeschooling is a huge burden on a family, people take that on because they have a low opinion of public schools, generally.

If they can't make it opt-in, at the very least they should:

1. Only count PRs that contain something like "#Hacktoberfest" in the GitHub comment accompanying the PR. This would make it easier for maintainers to weed out the spam or at least understand where it's coming from and what term to search for when they encounter this unprepared. Also, it would give "visibility" to the event, so it should even fly with management!

2. Only count merged PRs. Apparently DigitalOcean have a "reason" for not doing this, because some projects don't use the PR merging feature directly. I think they should reward users who educated themselves on this point and only opened PRs on projects that do merge them.
They can wash the coins via converting to alts and back, especially at shady foreign exchanges that don't care about KYC/AML. I don't see how the FBI has any jurisdiction, or even whether this is big enough potatoes for them to devote significant time and resources to.

I don't understand why people assume it's scamming or cheating.
It's perfectly legal, and I'd say it's even good for country economy.

The employer might state that "it's our mutual understanding" about anything in job offer, but it's not a legally binding statement. Anti-competitive statements can be binding, though, so it might be illegal for them to work at FB and Google, as their business might intersect. But it's a different story than just right to hold two "full-time" jobs.

One possibility I might think of -- if an employee is really a high performer, but couldn't negotiate compensation above "market price" for their level.
1 and 3 are a given if you cannot make point 2 nearly insurmountable to accomplish. Databases and rules governing their use should be so difficult to circumvent that there can be no accidental violation of the rules thereby insuring every such occurrence is purposeful.

Of course all this would need to be backed by penalties as specified for violations at the time the entire process was implemented. The only way to guarantee government won't abuse data is to make it public that any occurrence carries automatic penalties and full public disclosure.

There are multiple aspects of USB-C. There's the charging standard USB-PD and data transfer standards (display, audio, data, etc).

As far as charger spec goes, I am very happy. There are adapters that can supply multiple voltages, practically powering all my mobile devices. For all the other devices that come with barrel jacks, I made my own module to convert them to USB-C [1].

Absolutely, if you're the one person in a group who doesn't want to go hunting on the weekend or doesn't care about working on and accessorizing your pickup, you may not really fit in. (Just picking a couple of random stereotypical behaviors that have certainly existed with people I've worked with.)
Aside from the legality, what does this say about whatever role the friend was doing (assuming this is true of course)? I've heard from friends who work at FAANG that it's fairly easy to hide in the bureaucracy and do no real work. I've also heard the opposite, but perhaps the widely varying experiences are to be expected at a large company.

Americans have such a fetish for tipping. I think it makes them feel like generous benefactors to be in control of someone’s earnings. You could raise the wage for servers to $100k per year and people would still want to tip 25% for a $50 sandwich.

But changing the system so that employers pay employees properly? That would be ludicrous...even though it works for just about everyone else.
The End of Trust (2018)
Do you remember the name of that subreddit, by any chance?
Agreed. Pick a set of standards all cables/monitors/chargers/etc. must have and a set of optional standards they can have. So any and all devices you get, all will be at least able to do A, B, and C, and if you need something to do X, Y, or Z, you can clearly see which devices and cables support those more niche needs.

Deciding what is a must have is the more tricky part. I personally think power is a must have. I think every charger and every cable should be able to charge every device. I think having a USB C charger, cable, and device, that it should not even be possible to plug it in and have it not charge because one of those three things does not support the other two.
Not the OP, but I grew up in a mountainous Appalachian town. I always thought I was terrible at navigating, until I moved to a Midwestern town with a grid layout. Suddenly, I'm pretty good!

In my hometown, it was incredibly difficult for me to make a mental map—a westward turn on an unknown road could very easily have you going East! The road layouts were haphazard and organic, something I love when walking, but much more stressful when driving across the rural sprawl. I basically only drove between places that I'd already been, and relied on a GPS for anything else.

Just to give a comparisson, this website can compress to about 15% size, the current state of the art compressing English text (for a large chunk of wikipedia) is about the same http://prize.hutter1.net/ (15%).

I wonder if there are any sci-fi books with a doomed planet along these lines. Pick up 10 years before the planet gets destroyed. People of the past lived with the futility of trying to escape, doing almost nothing, and now people are desperate and taking insane scientific risks to try to save the species.

1 and 2 are a lot of the reason people are fine with invasions of their privacy. They have a misguided belief that those with access to their private data are generally trustworthy, upstanding citizens who wouldn't misuse their access, and that even the few that would abuse their access would be stopped by some check ending them to prove they had a legal need to access the data.

This is never the case. Government workers are as likely to let their curiosity get the better of them, ignoring those that act maliciously, and there is very little incentive to making sure that access is only granted when necessary.
No I'm not saying to blindly go where no man has gone before.

Just... just give it a try. I think you'll surprise yourself. Besides, having a GPS in your pocket at all times makes it safer to get lost than it was in the Rand McNally days.

It seems to line up well enough. And it is hard to imagine another explanation.

The gas arrived here 2.5 million years ago. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Bubble it seems that the Local Bubble was created 10-20 million years ago by a supernova, and we've been traveling through an area currently occupied it for the last 5-10 million years.

If we've been traveling through that region for 5 million years, and the bubble is expanding as fast as we are moving (and we are moving at a pretty good clip), then we would have encountered the edge of the bubble 2.5 million years ago. Which would be exactly right for that to be this.

And it is hard to imagine that there has been another supernova near us that it could have been, without it having left obvious signs of its existence. So Occam's razor says that this has to be right. The supernova that we know from astronomy had to happen near where we are now is the one that dumped detectable amounts of material on us 2.5 million years ago.

I seem to recall a booking agency made roughly on average 10 dollars a seat for their most profitable airlines.

Airline standards are the direct consequences of vote with your wallet. No matter what some claim, 99.999% of people will buy the cheapest ticket possible.
Not really. My phone is work a few hundred. My laptops say a few thousand. And all the other devices at least a thousand more. Getting rid of all that ever few years for something as minor as charging time is wasteful. So I don't chase latest standards.
While the golden age of news publishing probably never came, I think this is a really bad development. Almost all publishers already made deals with Facebook. Now you have tech giants that also pay large publishers. Judge for yourself how this could lead to a plethora of conflicts of interest.

From DO's policy statement on quality:

https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/details#quality

> There's a seven-day review window for all pull requests before they count toward completing the challenge. Once a participant has submitted four eligible pull requests (ready-to-review, not drafts), the review window begins. This period gives maintainers time to identify and label spammy pull requests as invalid. If the pull requests are not marked as invalid within that window, they will allow the user to complete the Hacktoberfest challenge. If any of the pull requests are labeled as invalid, the user will return to the pending state until they have four eligible pull requests, at which point the review period will start again.<

So all the spammer needs are four projects with maintainers who are too busy IRL to flag spam posted to their repos?

Are we all now to be unpaid conscripts of DO's marketing department?
Small government is nearly impossible to get from big government because the only way to change government is to get into it, and once you are in it big government is good for you.

The best we can hope for is a revolution followed by a small government that grows slowly.
It still works though. I realize it's not a perfect solution, but I was just trying to offer another option.

Yes, it would be cheaper in the long run. The problem is the housing cost differential can be several hundred K, and you may not be able to get a mortgage approved or find a low end home in the affluent area.

I had bought a "top reviewed" HDMI / USBC cable on Amazon. It seemed to have issues overheating and dying. Bought the Insignia version of the same from BestBuy and it works like a champ (even when it's 100f outside and my house has no AC).

It's not about where you buy it, but the quality matters.

It was an eye opening experience when I left the 1 star review, the vendor keeps pinging me with bribe offers to take it down. So when you see even a little bump of 1 star reviews, you have to know that those are the people who have some integrity and there likely is a proportion missing.
Back in the 80s, I had a device that was powered by a 3.5 connector. This same device had another two 3.5 connectors for the headphones and microphones.

Very true. Comes down to if you already know (or want to learn) Swift.

That is interesting and worth checking out. However, I'd say one of the benefits of using a featureful terminal is the ability to not have to use tmux.

Automobiles were considered unacceptably dangerous in many places when they were actually released. Towns had ordinances banning them. There was a bunch of lobbying and counter-lobbying. They gained a foothold in some places first, then the benefits became more apparent to others. There was a _lot_ of advertising on the part of car companies. Slowly car ownership spread and became more accepted, and in parallel systems were put in place to make cars safer. The whole process took many decades.

Of course I agree that overall societal risk tolerance was to a large extent higher 110 years ago and at least in the US the central government was a lot less powerful. The same process would not proceed in exactly the same way today, though I see some parallels in how self-driving cars are being slowly introduced.

Except the same cables do not work. Cables frequently lack PD capabilities. Cables often lack video pass-through capabilities, especially for alt-modes. The data rate is completely unpredictable. It may or may not support hub passthrough. All of this is dependent on the cable, so if you solely buy TB3 USB3.2 PD cables you're fine, but if you try to actually use a cable included with one device with another device, it might not work due to lack of any of the above, with no obvious indication as to why.

The GDS makes about 10 dollars per seat. A portion of that (2-5 dollars depending on the negotiation) goes back to the agency

The real kick is "full content agreements" - the airline has to promise not to undercut the final fee charged by GDS/Agency. This ensured nice profits for the GDS ecosystem, but airlines are starting to fight back by pulling out of them (and hence increasing prices for indirect bookings)
