Google Play Store bans “sugar dad/mom/baby” dating apps, but not Tinder
There's a couple layers of economics involved here. There's supply/demand for employees/jobs. Fewer employees and more jobs mean higher wages. But there's also ROI. If you can sell a year of an engineer's work for $1M, the difference between $50k in comp and $100k in comp looks pretty minor compared to having them to produce that value and not.

That makes Amazon #3, after the federal government and Walmart:

Entity US Employees
1. US Government 2.7M
2. Walmart 1.6M
3. Amazon 1.0M

If Amazon continues to grow at current rates, it will surpass Walmart's figure within 2 years.

Looking at these figures, it's evident that these three entities are far larger, wealthier, more connected, and likely more powerful than the vast majority of US cities, the vast majority of small countries in the world, and maybe even a few smaller US states.

The alleged means of the so called beach are the nub of the issue here. 'Jigsaw identification' was a contrivance to specifically target Mr Murray, and notably is not a mechanism that has been used against any other entities, though it could have been.

For me, it's far too loosely defined and requires supposition of Intenet (mind reading) , to be used as a means of conviction.
Recently, in large parts of the Greater Toronto Area, it has not been legal to rent out rooms in your house. It was and is legal in the original city of Toronto and other municipalities that were later incorporated into the megacity. There is a proposal before city council to legalize it across the city, but so far no decision has been made.

> It's hard to believe that show was so controversial

It was controversial because of the potty-humour and the chaotic puerile antics of the characters. They had a certain irreverence for authority and many conservative do-gooder types didn't like that.
I suspect it was an organized publicity stunt. In the interview the Prof. said "now here is the real danger, because if Derek drives very close to the wind that difference in speed goes to zero. if it's one millionth of one percent, that's like a nuclear bomb exploding behind him.", refering to a formula where the force is calculated with speed difference in denominator.

Obviously he can't be serious about it, because it is inconsistent with the belief that the car can't go faster than wind.

Anyway, the whole thing was very interesting and educational.

To be honest, it depends on how much time you plan to spend on this.

If this is only dozens or low hundreds of person-hours, then just do things at your own pace. Don't worry about releasing a viable product. I'd guess that you find adding tax forms fun. But it's probably not fun to update every form each year, respond to bug reports, and handle other support requests, all under the time crunch of tax season.

(As a side note, if you want real impact with a time commitment in this magnitude, consider being a VITA volunteer! https://www.irs.gov/individuals/irs-tax-volunteers)

Of course, if you have thousands or ten thousands of hours instead, you should be able to support everything I listed, plus the features you'd find in other tax software. With that amount of time, you should be able to do enough market research yourself to figure out what to prioritize.
I sort of hate this.

Everything in it is reasonable, but none of it should be reasonable. Except point 3 about using ISO-8601 date formats, which is merely righteous.
I also do this. I realise it being in the git repo isn't possible for many companies, but there really should be a diff view.

In my project I actually use git to generate a diff (at compile time) that is shown to the user. They can either view the diff to the last version of the terms they accepted, or the whole terms. In that view they can also directly export their data and delete their user account if they deem the new terms to be unacceptable.

I think this should be a standard everywhere, but of course it's a futile dream and people don't seem to mind the status quo.
The challenge of course is that if there is no penalty for doing something harmful to a portion of the population, then people will keep doing it - probably indefinitely.

It might be easier to think of it as a evolutionary process. Adding in things like (enforced) laws around making space for wheelchair clients for a business will select against those that don't do it. That will inevitably result in churn (and cycle of life death/rebirth and associated pain and loss), but as long as there is sufficient presence of the 'species' (to extend the analogy) that does what you want, then it's the equivalent of weeding a garden. Sucks to be the weed, but if no one does it, it turns into a giant mess of bad stuff and everyone loses.

It's also important to not starve by 'weeding out' all your crops. It's a balance.
At a recent all-hands about hiring, and wages for existing/future employees, my CEO blatantly said “we look around at the market and set wages based on the going rate”. Something totally innocuous to someone with his background. Weirdly revealing to many employees at a rapidly advancing startup without much background in finance: the company as a whole doesn’t even consider output when setting wages.
I think 0.65 of the country sounds similar in scale to me, and I would also naturally be curious as to what that means in terms of "how many people out of X"
Prepare to leave, even if it is not an 'option' right now. Make relationships with people smugglers today, not when you need it. Research which countries would accept you as a political refugee, which in your case is pretty clear cut as a journalist and what would be the best process. Don't only choose one country as part of your research, have a list in case one or more fall through. You will probably have to live in an easy to move to neutral country such as indonesia or the phillipines first while you apply.

You might have to leave fast, so create a 'leave the country' go away backpack (aka go bag) and bring it with you everywhere, in case you can't actually go home. Install online cameras to see the state of your house before getting close to it in case you are raided or setup for an ambush. Turn off the cell phone when your close to where you live by a few km, use wifi where all your internet connection is piped through a VPN. Be prepared to abandon everything in your house if it comes to that, maybe distribute your important sentimental objects elsewhere with trusted friends or family or other secret storage spots. When you begin to stash such things, turn off all electronic devices with radios (wifi, bluetooth, cellphone, etc) or just do not bring them going there and coming back. Use cash for in person transactions from now on, maybe change your habits up.

You may not be worried about general physical safety, but you might be targeted specifically.

It would be remarkable seeing this technology applied to restoration of the gut microbiome.

It seems to be involved in so many autoimmune diseases.

Heavy antibiotic use also seems to irrevocably damage the diversity of gut bacteria, leaving individuals susceptible to a lot of health complications later down the line.

Anecdotally, I know raw kefir and Visbiome (a well-studied probiotic) has been very helpful for the restoration of the gut microbiome.
No mention of The Maxx, which is a shame. That was another supremely well-done animated show from MTV's heyday that gorgeously adapted an Image Comics series. It was closer in tone to Aeon Flux than Beavis and Butt-Head, which is probably why it's not remembered.

Funny article!

Yes, OO as defined by Alan Kay was about the interface, protocol or what ever we call it in a given language. It's a tool for abstraction, so you think about communicating instead of structure and state.

Now, most modern (~10y/o) general purpose languages I know have moved away from ADTs or simply inheritance. Inheritance was just a means to an end and never the point.

Did you find anything?

I can't find any evidence it is significantly more toxic (hard to quantify, and most sources didn't seem to try - it all seemed within an order of magnitude or so).

At least what I ran across seems to be that the organic lead compounds (aka tetra ethyl lead, among others) are super nasty. Similar to how mercury is not great (and has similar exposure routes), and the common compounds of mercury in soil, etc. are the same - but the organic mercury compounds that occur when mercury is in wetlands environments are super nasty (like 100000x)

The EPA mentions on their lead site (albeit backhanded) that runoff, water contamination, etc. is usually not an issue even at heavily contaminated sites. Where you see lead poisoning around drinking water, it is always due to very acidic water conditions which leach/dissolve the lead. This can be from lead pipes pulling water from acidic sources (big no no), or heavily acidic mine runoff going through heavily contaminated sites.

The only major concern ground contamination wise seemed to be at smelting sites, which is truly a unique situation - and well know and easy to test for.

I did find some evidence that it is also a concern with fly ash, though apparently the other really nasty stuff (including radon, uranium, nasty active chemical species, etc.) overwhelms the lead concern. Places still have to do a ton of paperwork on it though. If you die from fly ash exposure, it isn't going to be due to lead poisoning.

I've filed support tickets with Oculus using my own headset's serial number - no response. We've been through every Facebook "help" page you can possibly image (ID checks, hacked account support, responding to security alerts) - got automated responses of absolutely no help. I've even reached out to people I know personally who work at Facebook and, of course, no one seems to have any idea who to talk to.

Turns out there are no support reps for dealing with deleted accounts. That should tell you all you need to know.
