I guess it could go one of two ways, and ultimately boils down to whether or not the employee has access to the bank account.

Assuming they do, and assuming it's an actual business (llc or whatever) then the employee could keep it going in the medium term, basically preserving the value of the shares.

Once an executor has been assigned, the employee can liase with them about business decisions, appoitment as a formal business decision maker, and so on.

Ultimately the shares will go somewhere, perhaps to an heir, perhaps to the state.

If some compensation is still due to the employee, then perhaps they could get control of the shares - every case would be treated on merit.

If the employee does not have access to the bank account, then the business is basically dead. Without access to cash, without access to revenue, it'll likely fold immediately - probably before an executor can be appointed, and can arrange access to the account.

That said, each case is different and YMMV, especially given the very limited amount of information in your question.
Sounds interesting, but where are there some basic screenshots of what it looks like on various UI platforms? The screenshots on the homepage all link to sample app repos which (at best) just have a single screenshot of the app running on a single platform.
The man who tried to fake an element
It gave me a reflexive distrust of both sides. Govt officials utterly ignorant of the published research and happy to contradict it then reverse themselves next week; and unread citizens cheerfully making up their own fantasy worlds.

I was prepared with 20 N95 masks (ten years old but carefully sealed for a pandemic.) Which didn't matter because the provincial care workers spread the illness like wildfire through my building (they were seeing clients willy nilly all over the place, with no PPE, and with rules that forbid them from taking a day off with a note from a doctor who's face they'd breathed into. Also with no PPE.)

The vaccination story was a big win; and that was the decision that counted. So science won, and govts got the one key choice right, China aside. Antivaccers, zero.
This feels like an odd angle to take. The goal of such a list is to enumerate things that people might not realize are imprecise. Nobody needs a printed list to tell them the impact of titling their email "You little shit". But plenty of people have been saying "America" to mean "United States" for a long time without thinking about it.

Thus why I journal. I don't do it daily, but when I do, it gets my thoughts out and I find that once they are out, it just helps to put words to something that you might be feeling.. well, isn't that what you pay a therapist for, right?

Our tools differ, but our end goal is more or less the same. I keep it as simple as possible, because as you said, burnout is real.

Agree with others here that you should check out Sales, Sales Eng, or Product roles. You can make quite a bit more money than a lot of engineers if you do well with sales, particularly as someone who deeply understands tech that they're selling.

Military experience could actually be somewhat relevant for sales, and the courageous kind of attitude ("I'll perform well and make it work regardless") is pretty much the main requirement.

Starting in Sales Eng could be a good way to get to know a particular Sales team and get them to know you, quickly see what its really like to be a seller, and then potentially work your way into a Sales role. Constantly being in the room to see how lots of different sellers work is like getting paid to do sales training, if it turns out to be interesting to you.

When it comes to school, even if the tuition is free, you're still investing a lot of time and effort. For someone who already knows how to program and has meaningful real-life people/leadership experience, my suggestion would just be to be realistic about what you want to do, what you really want to get out of school, and whether or not it's really necessary. Don't know about you, but I know people who seem to fall into the trap of making that kind of decision as a punt on making any real decisions.

Being able to show a bachelor's degree is unfortunately still a big deal for a lot of hiring managers, but "going to school" is also not really a binary decision; there are ways to very quickly test out of a ton of classes and get a bachelor's degree from a lesser known school, if the key rationale would be to just stamp your card. Also keep in mind that typically, Sales and Software Eng are two of the best examples of roles where being self-educated/naturally talented makes it very easy for everyone to overlook the lack of a degree... if you turn out to be kind of a natural fit in sales, AND already know how to program... having a degree probably isn't make or break for you. Learning and giving yourself room to explore can be very satisfying in its own way, but that could also just be stuff you get paid to do in a new role.
The same can be said for using an "antinet" (insert "stop trying to make it happen" meme).
Why? We know that being vaccinated doesn’t keep you from catching or transmitting COVID.
In the native GUI world, this would never be a problem. The system gives you a native components, but it's expected that you'll potentially extend it with custom code. So native GUIs support, by default, use cases that the framework designers didn't anticipate. But HTML is supposed to be a standalone markup language, not reliant on a language runtime, and that includes forms. So we're at the mercy of browser developers to give us the params and options to modify standard inputs to our use case.

I’m Canadian and I’ve been stopped by the RCMP while visiting. It was right on the border as I was about to enter the USA so I can enter the library. I only had my driver’s license and one of the RCMP officers went to background check me on his computer while his partner held a conversation with me and their American border agent counterpart. It was pretty intimidating but they finally let me go on my way into the library without further issue.

I should have been more specific so asinine comments like these who can't read the story before commenting don't show up:

Imagine if the Trump Administration had people who donated predominantly to their cause making decisions at the highest level at Social Media companies and directly affecting policy of posts being taken down such as Jim Baker asking why "don't be afraid of COVID" isn't taken down.

Imagine if employees at social media companies took the view that they knew better than abortion and lgbt activists and overruled coverage of their protests, flagged their tweets, locked their accounts from gaining any distribution.

Imagine if the Trump administration established a department within the San Francisco field office of the FBI to EXCLUSIVELY check social media feeds of their political opponents to have them reported to twitter under government pressure to take them down.

I thought all of this was implied and anyone reading this comment would at least acknowledge the severity of these revelations, but here we are.
Which “real information” was silenced? I sure hope you’re not referring to that farce of an article from ZeroHedge about “weaponized lab-grown covid.” What misinformation was promoted? Are you still on about the first week or 2 when they said masking was ineffective?

My entire family has befriended crows. I live on the 3rd floor. When the crow comes in, we feed them with hands directly. He takes the food right from our hand and eats it slowly. This worked out simply because we started feeding them daily. Initially they used to just run away but we kept giving food and slowly they started trusting us.
The white lie didn't stop profiteering, it was transparent for anyone watching with their eyes open and only made hoarding worse.

Telling the truth would have resulted in far less supply shocks, instead, half the population willfully ignored the obvious lie by putting their heads in the sand and the other half ratcheted up their preparedness (because the govt clearly lying about everything at this point)

> I can vouch for this approach. I lived in the territory of a couple of ravens (close relatives of crows; just as smart and twice as large)

Here's the thing. You're suggesting a raven is as intelligent as a crow. Are they in the same family? Yes, Corvus. But scientists who study crows, will tell say, specifically, crows are smarter than ravens. But it would be okay for either of us to just admit we're wrong, you know?

tmux (on workstation) integrates naturally with system clipboard and after finally getting it into my workflow, none of the annoyances in the readme anymore. It Just Works.

Defaults with vi keys:

Leader+[: enter selection mode
Space: start selection
Return: copy selection
Leader+]: paste

If you enable mouse in tmux, you just select to copy.

Then xsel -b / xclip -sel clip, or wl-clipboard for cli.

You could integrate it in vim as well but personally I like to keep that separate.
Manipulated would be more accurate.

Sort of, sort of not. It depends on the language. English for example is mostly a "stress-timed" language, which means the time between each stressed syllable is more or less perceived to be constant. Since there is usually 1 stress per morpheme, you can recognize when you are now in a new morpheme, though not at the "boundary". Morpheme is not quite the same as word, though.

It's a minefield for sure.
If there is every time there a single variable is being searched then it means that it was not limited to that scope and by let's go. I mean in few lines front and back and if it wasn't then it should have never been a single letter variable. I see single letter variables as placeholders that are meant to live very temporarily. Few lines at best

I agree. I see this hyper-marketing with PKM tools and it's like snake oil salesmanship. Every app is being sold as the be-all-end-all tool you'll ever need.

I like linking, but I don't try and link all the things(tm). They exist to refer me to another file that I might need to look at from this one file. Sure, I could open my file manager and open the correct file but then I have to look at two files open.

Another issue is I see often is people trying to make the system more than what it's capable of. Most PKM apps are not file managers - use your actual file manager for that. No, you don't need to link to that PDF in a note (except maybe, when you're referring to it for research purposes).
That's like a fuzzy match or regex match in things like gcp log search

This is generally not true for species that take a long time to reach reproductive maturity, and more so if they evolve to become physically underdeveloped at birth. A (proven) fertile human female is reproductively much more valuable than a newborn.

Sure, in this example user looks better. But as I said this code is not going to be existing on its own. There's going to be code preceded by this. Which is going to give a pretty good idea of what is being filtered on and you can always have comments before the code that can explain the general idea of what you're trying to achieve instead of burdening short-lived variables with a role of needing to give hints of what's going on at the expense of readability and speed of parsing mentally

> Having to remind of them of that fact is the kind of patronizing you both seem to be rallying against, after all.

Not really. You'd be surprised how many people believe that. They need to make informed choices. The way to do that is to say "the benefits are X and the risks are Y". If they have trouble understanding X or Y, you do whatever is necessary to help them understand.

What you don't do is say "Oh COVID-19 vaccines? Yeah, go ahead, nothing to worry about, they're completely safe". It's not up to you to determine that they are safe, the patient makes that judgement. One person might consider them safe, another might not.

> since everyone is smart enough to make their own choice

They don't have to be "smart enough" to make choices. Unless they are mentally impaired to the point of dependence on a legal representative, they have the autonomy to decide about any matter regarding their own bodies. Even if they are uneducated. They could refuse it simply because they don't like vaccines or even you personally and it's your duty to respect that.

Unless the patient is literally dying right in front of you, there is no case you could make for overriding their will on any medical treatment, and even that varies by nation.

> so why be upset about it?

Because it's unethical and undermines trust. When you do this, people notice. They immediately stop trusting you and start actively resisting you instead. As is their right as human beings with freedom and autonomy.

> when exactly where they lied to if you claim they're smart enough to dissect the nuance?

It's still a lie. Detecting the lie does not somehow invalidate the fact it is a lie.

Large institution makes mistakes in face of unprecedented crisis, news at 11.

All those standing by the sidelines and criticizing those in the hot seat would no doubt have done a much better job at managing this.

I'm all for learning the lessons (such as the link you posted) but I'm categorically against assigning blame against those that worked their asses off to help mitigate this, as long as the lessons stay learned and we do much better next time.

Obviously not every move deserved the beauty prize but you have to take into account that the WHO does not have the power required to demand that parties follow up on their advice, which makes theirs a highwire act somewhere between medicine and politics. Which means there are bound to be compromises and degrees of supplication that are ultimately not perfect but that at least move the needle (pun intended) in the right direction.

Contrast that with the disinformation barrage that had only one purpose (to destabilize and undermine as much as possible the effort to contain COVID-19). It's pretty easy to criticize, very, very hard to do better.

I think there are some elements shared by both, but in my experience there are a lot more nuances than can be captured in a binary grouping.
First try:

The second largest country in South America is Argentina. It has a land area of about 2.8 million square kilometers (1.1 million square miles). Argentina is located in the southern part of South America and is bordered by Chile to the west, Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, Brazil to the northeast, Uruguay and the South Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Drake Passage to the south. The country has a diverse landscape, ranging from the Andes mountain range in the west to the Pampas grasslands in the center, and the subtropical rainforests in the northeast. The capital of Argentina is Buenos Aires, which is known for its rich cultural heritage, vibrant nightlife, and tango music and dance.

The old server-that-got-drywalled-in meme was something we as grad students in the late '90s talked about doing intentionally, to keep Internet-accessible research prototypes running after graduating.

That service or even tech report archive coming from a .edu research group wasn't in a machine room -- it was under someone's desk, or out in the lab area of old junk computers used by undergrad assistants.

We had the support of a PI. But some schools select for people who are focused on their own success. So, if unplugging an unknown machine removed a barrier to someone's immediate goal, when we were no longer there to guard it, we couldn't assume they'd pause and think, "Maybe I should contact this email/phone on the big laminated sign on this machine, before getting it out of my way."

I recall that discussion ending with the idea of the drop ceiling being the most likely place to keep it undisturbed. The exposed cable run trays for fiber and such were already right up by there. But I don't think any students from our group ever did that.

The light coming out of the scratch-hologram must be coherent. That means, the scratches must be mirrors (like smooth grooves, or bent silver wires, shiny curved spiderwebs.) Normal raster-displays emit incoherent light, and their images are entirely located on the display surface. But make your display out of billions of tiny mirrors, then you can create images which float deep inside the surface. (Or hang in the air, outside the surface.)
