Lasership, Inc. v. Watson. Found a NDA unenforceable because the term was indefinite that the court deemed to be an unreasonable term for the agreement - It is important that contracts have a well-defined start date and end date.

An agreement cannot be perpetual.. A contract without a specific time period stated may potentially be terminable by either party with notice once the business relationship ends after a reasonable amount of time. So stating a number of years (less than 50) may strengthen the NDA in some respect - The "indefinite" NDA of an employee may possibly be terminated unilaterally by the employee with written notice after they left the job, so better for the employer to have them signing a new NDA at the time of separation giving a time period for the agreement.

The IRS doesn't do a lot of heavy lifting.

The IRS does a lot of stuff that can be easily handled by a computer--matching up data from various sources to make sure it agrees. Once it needs a human eyeball, though, they do very little.

It's just your Joe-Blue-Collar guy has most of his finances already reported to the IRS, anything wrong and the matching computer will catch it.
If the employer is bad the employees will leave. If the employer is good then the incentive will be reduced. Practically no one leaves my company.

The Vita is an amazing piece of kit (I own two!) and I think the main fault with the system was Sony's lack of support and the garbage proprietary storage medium that was worth its weight in gold. If Microsoft made a Vita with xCloud, I imagine it'd be a pretty popular device and further enhance the value of the Microsoft gaming ecosystem.

Also, even though the Vita was not a smash hit for Sony, developing for the Vita was apparently pretty lucrative. The attachment rate for Vita was very high and Vita owners bought a lot of games. Granted, that was probably due to Sony's abuse of its Vita buyers.

I know plenty of people in India who trade US stocks and they don't have to put up that much in assets. You've made so many other factually incorrect statements I don't know if you're lying or ignorant but I know for a fact you're wrong.
Thank God the US is taking charge of the GLOBAL finances. What could go wrong!?

This is ladder pulling. Who needs smaller countries competing on fiscal rates when all tech should be registered in Dellaware?

Note how it's a small 15% to start with. If this goes through and all the treaties are in place moving it to 25% should be much easier.

Maybe the US should investigate all the creative ways US corporations pay so little tax anywhere. It's a problem caused by US and US corporation and now they come to provide a solution.

No, that's "Clean Up", which just aligns & tidies stuff a little. "Clean Up By" is automatic.

I generally disable "Clean Up By" because I love to visually group my folders for some types of folders. e.g.: Assets there, source files here, readme and docs to that corner, etc.

However, sometimes an orderly folder is required and I enable Clean Up By date for example. That folder is always sorted by date.
I think cadets knew they were playing the Kobayashi scenario in the movies and the books. In games of poker or games of magic, you often don't sit down to a table knowing you're in a no-win scenario. Even uneven stacks in no-limit aren't guaranteed defeat. When encountering a Magic matchup which is heavily in the other person's favor, you might draw well, they might brick a lot or misplay, and you could win a near-unwinnable game. A lesson I've learned from these games is even when I've had all of the advantage, when it looks like I'm ahead on board, there's a possibility of losing to your own misplays and to random chance.

When you're trying to get better at these games, you do your best to isolate chance and make the correct play each time, but simply playing well doesn't guarantee success. No amount of playskill can overcome mulling to an initial starting hand of 2 cards because you never saw a land in your first five hands. A 60 randomized card deck with 19 lands is favored to draw at least one land in its first five 7 card hands, but Fortuna might scowl at any moment.

So my understanding is that GoF can involve genetic engineering (editing the codon sequence/geneotype) OR serial passaging (growing successive generations of microorganisms under various conditions to influence phenotype).

The disregarded conspiracy theory, as I understood it, was that Chinese researchers were doing the former, NOT the latter. It is also my understanding that the virus' genetic code does not show any evidence of the former (editing codon sequence).
No, your disingenuous disregard is not helpful. FSM is literally the name of it. Not all FSM's store extra data, that is only a recent concept from things like xstate.

Right, so it's not a problem with Finder but actually the window manager. Why would you ever want to have a "menubar-only" app? It would be better if the design didn't create the possibility of that happening at all.
Wow, I completely forgot about those! We had them because they looked cool, obviously.
While I have never looked deeply into the topic of big business corporate taxes, I do share a strong suspicion that the corporate tax system is flawed, and would be supportive of reform in the system. Including international cooperation for solving this.

But the way they went about this is disappointing.

There should be a way to solve this that would still allow countries to compete in attracting businesses. They talk as if they want everybody to settle for mediocrity.

The case in the article is for when `T: Default`.

The reason this limitation exists is because it was decided that an array length of 0 should impl `Default` even if `T: !Default`, so `impl<T: Default, N: usize> Default for [T; N]` can't be used.

This may be possible in the future if specialization is stabilized, but for now we're stuck with that limit for `Default`.

Shouldn’t the responsibility for US corporate problems be (presumably) addressed by the US government? I’m not understanding your point here.
Heh, that happened to me 10 years ago. Broke my left wrist and sprained my right. Rather than media, it was basically everyone at my university who made it look so easy.
Have you found hiring to be significantly more difficult in the last 6/12/18 months? I don’t mean the process - that’s universally more difficult since COVID began. I’m referring to the quality and behavior of candidates. Our job postings get as many responses as ever, but the candidates rarely match their resumes lately. And the number of interview no-shows is much higher than normal. This has turned into an astronomical rejection rate. Is anyone else seeing the same? If not it is long past time to re-evaluate our process.
what is the true underlying cause?
What on earth is an "empty" file?

And yes you can cut. Cmd-C, Cmd-Opt-V.

And yes, you can sort and align. Just go to the View menu.

And yes, there's a way to go the parent folder. SEVERAL:

- Go -> Enclosing Folder

- Cmd-Up

- Right click on the window title and choose any enclosing folder from the tree

- Show the Path Bar and double click any enclosing folder from the tree

Yes, all the AMMs on Ethereum, EVMs and even Cosmos environments (Secret Network)

So Uniswap, Sushiswap, Pancakeswap, Quickswap, etc.

All bitcoin traded there is wrapped, with the bitcoin itself having varying degrees of trusted or trustless custody.

Even if you are triggered by the concept of using other chains, Its no different than depositing on exchange, or trading against other deposits on an exchange. A “one time it wasn't immutable 6 years ago” network and even a “21 - 100 validator” network is still better than a centralized exchange’s cold storage.
I've wondered about this with big companies like Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc. as well as behind-the-scenes spyware/ad firms who are all probably very interested in linking my identity across user accounts, email addresses, device fingerprints, etc. I've hoped that there aren't enough people doing it (yet) for these orgs to find it worth the effort.
It’s very easy to come to that conclusion about your own sides media. Perhaps you should ask some republicans about how objective the NYT is, and ask for evidence. You might be surprised.

I've been about 90% standing/10% sitting for the last several years, and while standing is great for me, the ergonomics of switch to and from my Aeron -- bought 15-ish years ago from a startup closing up shop -- felt less so.

I passed along the Aeron to my wife, who prefers a supportive chair and has also obviously been working from home, and got a Fully Tic Toc stool. It forces me to maintain something like healthy posture and keeps me at least gently moving throughout the day, and as a bonus fits neatly under the desk when I'm working rather than forcing me to find space elsewhere in my very compact home office.

I've found that for my 40-year-old knees and hips some sort of motion was necessary to keep from getting sore by the end
of the day. The Tic Toc helps with that, as does the balance board I pull out when standing for any length of time. (The board is a Fluidstance, which is stupidly expensive for what amounts to a skateboard deck on top of a piece of bent sheet metal, but it feels a lot better than standing still and has held up really well so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.)

Obviously this kind of setup isn't good for everyone, but I really like it.
The problem is government overreach and the proposed solution is more overreach.

Read the title wrong and thought they meant bar end shifter..

Added bar ends to my hybrid for 'defensive driving' purposes.

If you are in an urban/ suburban environment, a set of bar ends that curves over the hands just a touch is killer to protect the hands from trashcans/ cars, other bikes, kids, guys on mopeds.

Its like a little hand guard for random whatever. Plus gives you an upright hand position for extra torque if you need to go fast faster.
Yes, much as I dislike Finder, I must admit that it's search is fantastic, and nearly instantaneous.

Toxic is calling other people toxic for not following your emotional opinions.

It's incontestable that male-to-female trans have an unfair physical advantage over females, take the case of Fallon Fox, the MMA female trans fighter who has fractured the skull of female rivals. Having trans females fight biological females is unethical.

That would have been a coincidente. Are you willing to gamble your wellbeing on a lucky hunch?

You know what’s really unintuitive? Finding an official solution to a basic problem in Windows that requires a reg-edit… the number of times I encountered this while working daily with Windows was astounding. Never have I encountered an equivalent scenario on MacOS.
And I find the idea that big companies can shift their taxes so they get a massive advantages over local businesse to be much more dystopian.
I’m also saying that our culture absolute swims in regulation and we as fish just get used to it and are quick to reach for it as a hammer, seeing everything as nails. We are so steeped in it, that in many ways _China_ has a freer economy than the US does. I’d urge much caution here.

I think the point is that to do this, tax agencies around the world would have to cooperate with American tax agencies, which just creates another level of overseeing that has never happened before. It is another instance of Americans trying to force their wishes on the rest of the world.
Read the proposal: it doesn't matter whether small countries agree to it. The idea is that if any country levies less tax than the global minimum, the IRS will automatically charge the difference. i.e. if the global minimum is 15% and a company based in Luxembourg is paying only 5%, the IRS will levy an additional tax burden to bring it up to the minimum. No coordination or cooperation is required.
Same here.

Maybe if imaging pot sherds is part of your standard procedure it'd make save time. But the imaging itself could be quite laborious.

>This is the thing about Macs - people think they are intuitive because they have learned how to use them over X number of years

You can say that again. I never had to interact with a Mac in my life (Macs weren't popular in Eastern Europe so I grew up with Windows and Linux) and later in life at one job interview, the tech lead gave me his Macbook and told me to code a sorting function in JS and stepped out for 10 minutes. Within that time, I accidentally performed some swipe gesture on the trackpad which hid my code editor away with me unable to find it as I had no visible taskbar and all I had visible was a Chrome window so I started googling how to get my code window back. When the tech lead came back I apologized and told him I couldn't finish the task since I hid the code editor by accident and had to google how to use the OS.

I'm biased here of course, but IMHO for someone new to the OS, MacOS UX discoverability is worse than Windows or major Linux DEs.

Corporation tax.

They should just dump it and tax dividends and capitals gains like any other income.

It's easy to shift corporation tax but much harder to shift an individuals income.
I think algorithmic agility is exactly why TLS 1.0 has remained secure for so long (and, to a point, SSL 3 too).

We're already running into compatibility problems with IoT devices and server management boards because of HTTPS and that's just with TLS <1.2 being turned off after many years. I don't believe changing the protocol even faster will benefit most applications. The world has barely implemented http/2 and yet we're already on http/3 based on yet another entirely different protocol.
So what's the deal? Any company that makes users opt out of diagnostic data is just as bad as the companies whose entire business model is predicated around collecting as much data as possible about you and selling it to people whose sole ambition is to manipulate you? Are these two things really equally bad? We can't acknowledge that one of those is considerably more in favor of privacy than the other--they must both be labeled "NOT PRIVACY" with all nuance eliminated? Is that where we are in our discourse?
Plain ware would be hard. But it is hard for people too, unless you are doing microscopy. And even then, its hard.

So, for a top level bit of code to pass arguments to lower level bits of code you set environment variables? Seems a bit odd to me

Using environment variables for the user to configure their environment or pass information into a program seems normal, but code passing arguments to other bits of code in the same language with environment variables seems odd.

I like how the OOM killer stays up to date with its list of the worst possible processes to kill first. Back in the day, it used to prioritize X, bash, and ssh. Now it extends that to include newer pieces of essential infrastructure like "kubelet".

It's careful attention to detail like this that keeps Linux relevant for the next generation!

(I'm kidding, of course. I was recently trying to reproduce some Node test flakiness that only happened on CI, which has limited resources and exposes timing sensitivity. I had trouble getting this to happen on my 32 core workstation, so I decided to run 100 copies of the tests in parallel which definitely reproduced the issue -- and ran the machine out of memory. The OOM killer kicked in, and chose to kill all the extra Node processes without killing my SSH session, which was nice of it.)
