If true, that would be fascinating, and for a lot of companies (like if you did e-mail support) there would be nothing illegal about it -- you just don't want to be discovered.

But I'm legitimately curious about the ramifications of IP here -- both Google and (I'm assuming) Facebook claim to own all your intellectual output related to their business areas.

So you've basically just signed ownership of all your work for both companies to both Facebook and Google. IANAL, so I don't know what the term for this would be, but it does seem like you'd get in trouble -- fraud?

I assume you'd somehow slip eventually and get caught, and likely be sued by both companies, with an incredible headache for both companies' sets of lawyers as they try to figure out what to do with the code you committed, and if they can even use it anymore at all.

Hi, author here. Accessibility score went from 87 to 96. The second screenshot with a score of 86 was a preliminary result after introducing the fake widget. (Best Practices went from 86 to 100.)
99.999% is a bit high. Maybe it is 95% or something.

I find it hard to believe, however, because the usual pattern when I want to fly out of my small airport is as follows.

I might find United is $298.44 and so is Delta. American airlines is $301.55. Maybe there is a $375 flight listed with an extra stop on one of the airlines. The next price up is a $700 flight which has nothing obviously special about it, in fact it might be worse with more stops, more delays, and worse timing. (Maybe the expensive flight lets me reschedule or has some other benefit but that's not clear when I am buying the ticket)

The market is not giving me any meaningful choice at all through the price mechanism in that two airlines seem to be colluding to give me the exact same price, and the difference between the third is so small that $3.11 is not worth thinking about if you find anything about the American flight preferable to the other two.

In theory I could pay $1200 for a first class flight but the first leg of the flight has no first class cabin, and that's a huge jump. Before 2008 there was no "Premium Economy" or other efforts to let people vote with their dollars in a meaningful way. Still it's limited. When I save everybody time and frustration by checking a bag instead of contributing to "rollerbag hell", why I am paying more when I should be getting a discount?

Looking at airline pricing shows the rules of microeconomics are being thoroughly violated and I'm not going to believe the claim that "customers won't pay more for a better experience" until somebody hits the STOP button on both the flights and the airline bank accounts and accountants go over every single line and they can tell a story that makes sense.

What I see is that customers aren't being offered meaningful choices about their flights, or if they are, only in certain geographies.

I was a 737 hater long before the MAX came along so now it's appealing to drive to Syracuse to take Jetblue which is a no Boeing airline. In terms of $'s to the airline it isn't dramatically different than what I'd pay to fly out of Ithaca, but I an now paying with transport costs and maybe an extra night's hotel stay.

At ITH the service from the major airlines is undifferentiated (do you want to fly a CRJ-200 or E-145?) other than the hub you go to. Delta's Detroit hub is ideal for the west coast, American's hub is ideal for points south. Somehow they charge the exact same for flights that must cost differently for the airlines so there must be price fixing involved.

The dock is a special case and requires some specific voltage/amperage support. But the switch itself abides by EU regulations.
> I don't understand the question. Just make it illegal. That's the legal grounds.

Are there other types of private speech you would like to make illegal?
Bitcoin mixers aren't private as the real transaction is in the mix-set somewhere and it is really a matter of time until a determined researcher will find it. Mixers work better the higher number of coin-joins in the mix, and it is better than nothing in that sense, but it gives users a false sense of privacy.

Privacy can be had in obfuscating your Bitcoin by sending them using the Lightning Network. You have your own LN Channel and then send them to yourself routing through as many other channels as possible. Bitcoin cleaned.

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/how-the-lightning-netwo...

Another way is to use ZCoin. Zcoin uses zero knowledge proofs which burns the minted coin and redeems a new coin. SO I convert my 0.5 Bitcoin to Zcoin, the orginal transaction iin Zcoin is burned and new equivalent Zcoin is minted. No trace.

Monero is good but it is now under attack by Chainalysis to crack it on behalf of the IRS.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/chainalysis-and-texas-firm-wi...

When it comes to anonymity from the solutions available; coinjoins, Monero or Zcoin, personally Zcoin seems the most private way to obfuscate one's blockchain trail.
And barrel jacks in power land.

But suffice it to say, the situation was simpler / more user-friendly.
With OnePlus adapters, I would only ever use it for Dash / Warp charging of their phones. It's unique enough that I wouldn't even consider attempting to charge a laptop or a switch with it.
Fireside | Remote | Full-time

we're hiring a senior react native developer and senior backend end engineer to help us accelerate building a first-of-its-kind interactive broadcasting platform to promote driving social impact through meaningful conversations at scale. We’ve raised a multi-million dollar seed round from top tier consumer investors and the co-founding team is made up of experienced serial entrepreneurs including Mark Cuban. You'd be joining a small team on the ground floor and will have a huge impact on the platform and community we’re building.

Excellent candidates will have experience building green field applications, integrating with APIs, working with designers and product managers to deliver delightful products through mobile app stores. Perfect candidates would also have experience with streaming media to mobile devices.

Required for react engineer: React Native Javascript / HTML / CSS GraphQL Firebase

Required for backend engineer: Golang Postgresql Hasura / Graphql Iaas experience - ideally Google Cloud, but AWS or equivalent is fine Serverless WebRTC Streaming Nice to have: Devops experience, ideally with Terraform React / React Native

Ownership and Accountability - Our team is small, so you will get a lot of responsibility immediately. That also means we’ll be depending on you to deliver. Superb English written and verbal communication skills - This is a remote role, so the ability to create and communicate complex and detailed technical specifications is required Product orientation - No specification is perfect, so we expect everyone on our team to put themselves in the user’s position and ask questions to make the right decisions on their behalf

Deaths attributed to the disease. Every country counts them differently. In the us if you died while having the disease you counted as a COVID death. In some countries it’s only if the disease is what killed you that you get attributed, in some they haven’t had testing available to test deaths during their peaks, and some just want to keep their numbers low to avoid getting their exports and borders shut down.
In general, I would start with addressing things they are allowed to get away with in terms of (re)scheduling flights, not updating passengers with relevant info in a timely manner, holding flights/passengers, and refunds/cancellations.

The in-flight ads are mostly avoidable if I put on headphones and/or just close my eyes and take a nap. As long as the plane is in the air, on schedule, and moving in the right direction, I am getting the core product I paid for.
If there was a federal popular vote, the airlines would spend millions and millions on ads, op-ed pieces, and social media engagement farms to try to get people to vote in their favor. Given the current climate, I think they'd have a pretty good chance of being successful.

https://talaksan.com

I love solving problems through application development, from ideation to
launching and iteration. If you have a problem, I'll help you develop ideas to
solve it. If you have an idea, I can quickly prototype a system to implement it.
If you have a system, I can help improve and fix issues in it.

As (former) CTO of Insync (https://insynchq.com/), I became proficient in many
technologies (e.g. Python, SQL/NoSQL Databases, macOS & Windows APIs,
JavaScript, Web/Cloud APIs, Networking, HTML/CSS, Linux) and different aspects
of software engineering (e.g. Architecture & Design, DevOps, Security, Training,
People Management). As its co-founder, I had great experience in product
development and cultivating company culture.

I built a solid foundation by having fun doing sport programming, which made me
fluent in data structures & algorithms, and joining hackathons, which exposed me
to new paradigms & problem domains. I've won (or placed) in plenty of
competitions along the way (see my website for details).

YAML tags precede their value-terms. For a string value, the !tag syntax occurs before the opening quotation mark/heredoc marker of the string. It’s like a Java annotation.

This isn’t a YAML tag; it’s just YAML embedding some opaque text from some random command-language that uses exclamation marks to mean something.

In fact, actually considering the meaning of the action, the ! used here probably is just the regular ol’ boolean NOT operator in most languages: the action has specified that it should trigger only for commits that aren’t tagged as WIPs. (Which is an eminently-sensible condition to provide.)

It's all about percentages. I used to do the FF mileage cards, but my Costco cash back winds up a (much) better deal for us. If our spending changes I will reevaluate strategy again.
During the recession in 2009, American Airlines needed liquidity and Citibank (who issued their cobrand credit card) came in.

Part of the $2.9B package was Citibank buying $1B worth of air miles to give to their cardmembers.

https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2009/09/17/american-airlines-ge...

That created a liability on American's books, but because they controlled the redemption policy and capacity (and had an expiration date on miles once issued to customers) that they had some control on how the liability got called in.
I appreciate the tip, but it does not work in my situation. I am using a completely new Apple ID, so I do not have any previous app downloads or purchased apps.

Ideally, Apple would permit anyone to download any old version of an app.
It is customer hostile.

Roughly speaking in terms of (inbound) callcenters there's 2 kinds of attitudes.

- There's the callcenter type that actually cares about their customers and strives for the best metrics possible in terms of satisfaction (usually measured by after-call survey) and the shortest waiting time. This type of callcenter is often overstaffed to make sure they can handle peak times without pressure on the staff (which will reduce customer satisfaction because the staff will be stressed and the customers wait longer). In these callcenters it is common to see staff sitting 'idle' during which time they are supposed to do some elearning or support emails, or even kick back and relax. The metrics they care about will be customer sat ratings and waiting time (as in lower is better)

- There's also the kind of callcenter that is all about productivity. These are typically outsourced and get paid per call. They tend to have the minimum staffing so they reduce staff idle time: Hours not on call are 'lost' hours to them. Staff will be managed more on calls per day/hour and handling time per call (lower is better). Less time will be available for training (if any). These are the kinds of callcenters that want features like I mentioned. For one because it dissuades customers to call for minor issues and use email support instead, which is a lot cheaper to provide per customer interaction. And also to keep distance between the 'regular' and 'premium' support tiers, to make the premium waiting times shorter. This kind of callcenter will usually want to tweak the system to generate the best statistics for the customer that outsourced to them.

Obviously the first type of callcenter is much much better. Both for the customer and the employees. But the second type is very common too, especially for things that are commodity (as in easy to provide, not much knowledge needed), like number information services.

The only thing worse than the second type is the outbound sales-driven callcenter which are real sweat shops. Luckily the company I worked for didn't really deal with outbound.
Well, no, if the company doesn't stop and doesn't seem to stop the fines can be high enough to sink a company and I don't doubt that if it comes to it, the agencies involved are ready to sink a company over data protection.
This is entirely incorrect. An utterance of a single "Talaq" will render the marriage void until it is renewed.
I may been a bit glib in my original post, but is there actually a website where ransomware gangs reputation are tracked?
The interesting thing is that for small-bandwidth applications, USB C isn't that difficult to add. Compared to USB A, it's literally a different connector and two additional resistors on the CC pins. The power / data pins of USB C are completely compatible with USB 2.0.
What has the impact been though from families that still have 3 kids and buy larger cars/SUVs than they would have otherwise?
I mean, if there's a magic cable to charge just that one device, sounds like that device is broken.
actually, i'm very surprised that PHP isn't in the list seeing how WordPress account for 75%+ of the sites internet and the slew of plugins in its ecosystem.
Just buy a welder. Seriously. The machine I learned to weld on was a lincoln 140, and the machines we have at our space are miller 210s (which are LUXURY imo).

There are probably thousands of videos on youtube that will show you how to use it, but here's the thing: if you use it wrong, who cares? You really can trial and error your way to it.
I have used three USB-C displays extensively: a Dell U3219Q, an LG 27ud88 and an LG 32ud89. The 32" Dell and 27" LG work flawlessly: usb ethernet dongle, usb ssd drives, USB audio interface, mouse and keyboard work great. They don't even crap out on sleep/suspend. My LG 32UD89 has been rubbish though, it needs to be powered on before the macbook wakes up or it needs a hard power cycle to detect USB-C input.

They are all very pricey though.
I like the idea of this article but the point it makes are not well developed.

Take the first:

"That the food you eat is grown using synthetic fertilizers, and that this is needed for agricultural productivity, because all soil loses its fertility naturally over time if it is not deliberately replenished. That before we had modern agriculture, more than half the workforce had to labor on farms, just to feed the other half. That if synthetic fertilizer was suddenly lost, a mass famine would ensue and billions would starve."

But what are the factors which drives the immense productivity? There is also this new machinery and selective breeding. Now what part in all of this does account for the immense productivity gain? Certainly it is not enough to give credit to the results of the Haber-Bosch process. Then the other point is that this immense productivity seems to have negative returns, as one can see in the USA, where the food makes people more fat and sick every year. Similar holds for the planet which slashed rain-forest for soybeans show.
So after more than 5 years, USB-C is still too expensive and "overkill"?

That might be true, but then it's a massive failure. The entire point of USB-C is for the whole computing ecosystem to migrate. If that's prohibitively expensive for a common webcam, then it's an utter design failure.

But I have a hard time believig it actually is true, since I can also find a bunch of cheap USB-C stuff on Amazon as well. So I hope it's not true, at least.
