We don't know if she had a husband with 3 kids she legally adopted when they married and then the husband died. There are plenty of ways someone ends up with three children without some questionable decisions. There's no way she would be able to adopt a child from an agency due to the huge monetary constraints. Please consider being a little less of an asshole, because occam's razor is that she very likely adopted these children via family or marriage, as it is the only way to do so without being upper-middle class. This is precisely the amount of blind privilege I'm advising against.

The purpose of advertising is to bring in Revenue, and presumably Salesforce thinks this ad will bring in more than it cost.

On public networks, yes.

Of course in many cases andyou have to limit what edge cases you deal with unless you have infinite development time, but unexpectedly repeated UDP packets are definitely something that happens often enough to account for it if your protocol could be adversely affected by it.
What market have they cornered? They're not even the number one messaging app on the continent that's imposing this rule.
My experience is that a large percentage of ordinary people have heard about 641A, but the overwhelming majority of them think it's just another crazy conspiracy theory.

How can you prevent people from harming themselves to qualify for compensation? It's not about the rights of the individuals, it's about stopping companies from doing things that will kill people.

If I said I'll pay $1,000,000 to anyone who drinks a shot of bleach, certainly it's well within anyone's rights to drink bleach. But it's reckless (and arguably should be illegal) for me to encourage folks to do something which is almost certainly going to kill or maim them.

If I say that I'll compensate terminally ill people to get an experimental brain implant that has a high likelihood of failure, I'm literally encouraging folks to find a way to qualify as terminally ill.
Go to the website and do your filing..takes two seconds? What do you mean?
Does anybody know of a buy once/own for life editor that has Dreamweaver's concept of templates?

Dreamweaver lets you pull in header/ footer HTML from a template, then see the complete HTML in the editor.
The trick will be doing the front end of the process more local to material (size reduction and separation) and then doing refining at larger plants. They will shred the batteries, pull out plastics and metals, and concentrate the black mass. This is the good stuff, and you will reduce the mass and dimensions considerably.
> HTML is subject to different renderings on different browsers

This only matters if you actually care about exactly how your website renders on any given browser. Most websites don't have any need to care. PDFs are the worst for this: They care, A LOT. Which means locking you in to some hideous rectangle that's a different aspect ratio than any monitors I own, locking down the fonts and colors so that I can't just rely on system defaults, etc.

If all you need is to convey text, and maybe take some input, HTML is a fantastic solution.
Partially this is because the Joint Academic NETwork (JANET) in the uk used addresses in the form of xyz@uk.ac.qmc.cs according to wikipedia the JANET NRS had uk as the top level prior to dns adopting ISO codes in 1984

I wouldn't worry about it, these gasses are included in the blanket PFAS classification, but they are fundamentally different and thus non-toxic. r134a, a common refrigerant, and likely what your system uses if it's less than 10 years old, is used in inhalers.
Why not? Anybody can make a homemade shotgun with standard tools and hardware store parts, but very few people do. Very few people simultaneously have both the technical know-how and the inclination, therefore gun bans are generally effective by simply banning the easiest and laziest way of getting guns (buying them.) Even people with overt criminal intentions rarely make their own guns.

I think the same will likely be true for legally-enforced client side scanning. It is already the case that few people simultaneously have both the knowledge and inclination to "jailbreak" their phones. Throw in stiff legal penalties for doing so and even fewer people will do it. A few people still will, but if most people don't then the ban will still be effective even though it's possible to squeeze through the cracks. In both cases, instructions for circumventing the law may be found online by anybody that cares to look. But most people won't.
Would be more interesting to include the numbers prior to the pandemic (which had an abnormal surge in hiring).

One is able to have more than one computer these days. Not required that an old one do everything.
The solution to this would be languages that made different paradigms easy to use, and easy to use together.

I.e. the problem you are pointing out is currently using different paradigms together means bolting disparate languages and tools together, and all the accidental complexity, glue code and cross-tool knowledge that demands.

Which is a significant challenge, indeed.
I had a stroke six months ago.

My blood pressure is a touch high, but nothing concerning. I do not have afib. I am a healthy weight, no diabetes, nonsmoker, good cholesterol levels, and between judo, BJJ, and snowboarding I exercise between 15-20 hours a week across 3-6 days. I am 39.

I woke up unable to move the right half of my body and unable to speak except maybe one word at a time with extreme effort. It was terrifying.

Thankfully, my clot broke up on its own in maybe an hour and a half and didn’t require medical intervention. I effectively recovered fully on the same day and was sent home the next.

> You're telling me it's harder for a worker to change their working time or productivity by 4 seconds a week than to close a store?

I'm not sure what that bit is about 4 seconds of productivity, but if you are asking whether it's harder for a worker to change jobs than for a franchise to close a location staffed by maybe 4-5 workers, then yes.

Yes, absolutely, it is easier for the company and I seriously wonder what combination of events in your life made you think the opposing viewpoint is valid in any way or form? Can the concept of power imbalance be really so hard to grasp?
They closed the Starbucks in my city rather than recognize the union. Probably they'll reopen it later with all new people. It's purely an intimidation tactic. They are hoping to make an example of those workers who get out of line to strike fear into the hearts of the rest. My heart goes out to all the young, financially struggling workers who really just wanted some paid sick days and better treatment.
The ACM has a strict code of conduct. If an engineer commits an atrocious error their PE will be stripped. Violating the computing rights of literally the entire planet should be similarly egregious.

It is not twitter mobs. Its about holding people to a standard and not allowing them to corrupt the meaning of computing for financial, or tyrannical, gain. In recent history we have done almost nothing to hold anyone accountable for their actions. Academia being the most impervious to such punishments.

The ACM and ABET would make the decision. The same people who issue the certifications to the schools who award the degrees. Yes, these organizations are generally spineless cowards, but in a perfect world it would be them. Iron-fisted responses to tyrants is the only way you can insure the purity of a field and freedom from their destruction. I assume you will take this to it's natural conclusion and say any CS degree holder working for the NSA/Military/FBI/etc should also be similarly stripped of their title. To that I say, yes, if they are violating the computing rights of others willfully we as a society cannot allow such people to hold the credential. Otherwise a code of conduct is simply a list of suggestions. In which case it should not exist at all.
Hmm, at first I thought your comment was just a low effort post but upon thinking about what the quote was trying to say and to then see immediately the problem they were pointing out. Poetic
Ha, fair challenge. OK, turns out I was right at least. :)
As nice as interoperability (and the accompanying possibility of something like a modern-day Adium) is, I worry that this will introduce SMS' rampant spam problems to iMessage and the various other messaging services that will also be required to open up.

Part of the reason spam is so rare on iMessage is because it requires an iCloud account on an Apple device, which not only raises the barrier to entry significantly but also means that spammers are easily dealt with via account and device serial bans.
> Considering they exceeded all analyst expectations for revenue and profits in the last quarter, it's safe to say that some of their effort is working.

Didn't the layoffs happen in January (the end of their fiscal quarter) and wouldn't they have taken the costs of those layoffs and subsequent severance in that quarter? So they recorded record revenue and profits _despite_ laying off people, not because they laid them off.
And that reasoning of writing the form to just be postcode and flat number is why I can't get my address into forms.

There are two flat 1s in my postcode.

One place that would not work was the local council and so I could not get anything done, it took over a year of phoning up for this to be fixed. (of course the council tax database got it correct)
Noah is the man, BUT he has a really nasty habit of talking about subjects without referring to some canonical sources of his ideas that pre-date his own takes by a ton.

Haidt was WAY ahead of him on the smartphones causing depression by YEARS.

Additionally, with geopolitics, he encapsulates a lot of work by Peter Zeihan without ever referring to him directly.
The two aren't connected. They announced 10% layoffs in January and executed it. Then they announced that they would be rolling out stack ranking and PIP quotas for managers, but both of those decisions were later reversed (https://www.businessinsider.com/salesforce-plans-ranking-emp...).

When we moved into our newly built house, the USPS wasn't quite ready for us and it took a couple months for them to recognize and validate our address. Fedex and UPS had no such problem. We had to order a bunch of stuff off of Amazon, and a couple of those packages were sent back by USPS. I contacted Amazon and they set it so all packages were sent via UPS and Fedex for a while.
> I would argue that the evidence over the past several years has shown that the default position w.r.t. to Google's motivations should not default to 'benign' under any circumstance.

“Not benign” and “not malicious” can both be true. Google is motivated by self-interest, is staffed by engineers which have various conflicting self-interest and ideologies, and has a culture with various competencies and dysfunctions. Sometimes Google will do things that benefit consumers and sometimes Google will do things that harm consumers, but it’s not out of altruism nor is it out of malice.

Same as other large companies.
An example: to use the ferry system here in Washington’s Puget Sound, you pay to go to the island, but the return trip is free. Same applies for bridges taking you to islands.
Respectfully, Americans can have this take because we created an environment where these companies could flourish. There is no European messaging standard for us to regulate because no European business could get to that point at all.
Actually, it depends: can the low-level retailer afford however long it takes to set up new payroll? Can the low-level retailer commute to a new location, or afford to take the time off to do the job search to begin with? Can they afford the extra overhead if they're working multiple jobs to make ends meet, have dependents, etc?
I can confirm that "<Room Number> New York New York, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109" doesn't work. They wanted the actual street address of the hotel. Which surprised me, as I'm used to big hotels being well-known enough that you can just write a room number, hotel name and city and have it arrive in the right place.
So what? Can a company not take responsibility for the lives of thousands of employees? Either don't be a headcount glut, or take responsibility for the damage you'll inflict on these real life people and their families.
Why is the expectation from managers to be decent human beings is so unreasonable?
Do we need a contract for that?
You can get a couple of miles out of LoRa. The radios are pretty cheap. Though if your sensor is miles and miles from things maybe a bit of an issue stringing these things out (with solar panels and backup batteries etc) could be a pain.

> marketing budget

Do people who would be in a place to make the decision about their companies choice of CRMP really need to be marketed to in order to know about Salesforce? Seems like a wasted budget IMO.
Yes, I know. Back in the fun days when a browser was supposed to be my "user" agent. Before they became the mini-os they are today.

There's nothing here that would stop you from still doing that.

But if we're talking about practicality... I think far more people would get a benefit from improved defaults (as long as they're not breaking existing sites).

While I've modified the user styles for my chrome profile as a part of being a web developer, I'm not aware of a single non-developer acquaintance who has (literally - none). Honestly, not even many of the devs I've worked with have done it.

It's just not all that relevant when the defaults are so bad that all the sites are overriding them anyways. Makes it very hard to apply a set of user styles that's sane, so no one does.

Make the defaults better, and maybe you can end up back there.

> I'm advocating for non-capitalist variants on market economies.

I'm struggling to think of a good example of a current non-capitalist market economy. Do you have one in mind? Or are you advocating for something not yet successfully created?
This will affect businesses that do 3rd party merchant services, like events. If the event is cancelled, refunds are issued. Who pays that fee? It would be up to the business to try to claw back funds from the promoter of the event... who is now bankrupt from not being able to do their event. It gets ugly fast.
Nobody at salesforce was worried about their job except for layoffs, and all of us who remain are far more worried about our jobs today than we were on Jan 1. Those layoffs were poorly executed and arbitrarily distributed, and execs will make zero commitments to not continue doing so. Not even a pretense of “if you work hard, you’ll be ok”. Just try and make sure you picked a team and project where you personally look essential to some exec and their personal future at the company.
No, it's not event driven. Maintaining key state up or down and treating it like a discrete I/O input in the rest of the code is not event driven. The event doesn't trigger any behavior. It's an example of how to handle events if that's all you've got as input - map it to non event driven design.
>Avoid external dependencies. Stuff like analytic engines can 404, 503, or become sluggish.

Your pages response shouldn't rely on this request succeeding.
There a few ways. I’m a big fan consensus driven approaches, and equal pay for equal work. A higher payed worker should have other justification for the inequality than just seniority. E.g. if they use their experience to train other workers, that in and of it self is a good justification for higher pay (as they are doing more). In a well managed workplace getting consensus for higher pay with this justification should be rather easy.

Likewise a well managed company shouldn’t have many collisions on PTO slots etc. as they would hire extras when PTO is in high demand, but if a collision occurs there should be systems in place to resolve those (seniority could be one of these systems, but should not be the only one) other systems could be some points based systems (e.g. where a worker that has previously not been favored, will get priority in collisions), or even just lottery.

As for promotions, a consensus is absolutely favorable to seniority. If a consensus is unreachable other systems could take over, but in a well managed workplace, failure to reach consensus in a promotion scenario should be really rare (and honestly a worrying sign of an unhealthy work environment).

EDIT: I want to make clear that I’m speaking general here. In the Starbucks scenario, seniority is a perfectly cromulent practice to prevent their bosses from practicing retaliation by allotting worse shifts to workers they don’t like. A consensus driven approach is probably an overkill in a workplace with such a large corporate management.
So you can tune a body to the emitting source, if it is understood - thus revealing stealth capabilities if you know the radar emission freq?

How much is geometry vs material science?

We know that anachoic chambers have pyramid-ic structures of foam.

So I propose the most stealthy paint would be tiny pyramids of aero-graphene in a spray with a carbon based paint, such that the pyrs absorb bot heat and sound and radio waves.
Mining virgin materials uses much more resources than recycling. The material is already concentrated in the to be recycled items. Strong environmental controls must be in place with the recycling companies, but the impacts are less. Plus you have to think of the regulatory environment where the items are being processed. A domestic to US recycler, with threat of RCRA (Superfund) has incentives to make sure they are following best practices.
I think they are cute little duck vans. Look at that duck bill. Quack!

The floating bridge has a toll in both directions because there’s an alternate route which isn’t too much worse when there’s no traffic (and something about federal highway grant money)
In Ireland any six digit eircode is unique to your address. You only have to put that on the envelope and it'll get delivered.
I disagree, those micro interactions complement async conversations - an easy way to acknowledge something, equivalent of saying 'lol' or 'ok'.
As a side note, I find it just incredible that the CEO of Starbucks, Howard Schultz, actually campaigned for the president under the democratic party. And Hillary Clinton was going to make him labor secretary. When even the left leaning party is that right wing, something has gone terribly wrong.
There's an alternative view on what some call "price gouging."

The idea is that the market is providing a strong incentive for you to figure out how to get bottled water to the disaster zone. This is wildly unpopular: people view it as capitalists profiteering off a disaster. And it's true, they are.

In response, people demand prohibition of price gouging.

But the result is a lack of product availability. For example, one study linked anti-gouging laws with limited product availability during the pandemic. [1]

To take the example of the increase in costs of goods leading to a hurricane: there is a risk that the hurricane will veer off path, and all the extra goods will just sit, unbought. The anticipation of high prices causes vendors to logistically stage larger quantities of goods to the market. Mandated 'normal' prices lead to scarcity.

So ultimately we're left with a choice: do we prevent price gouging, and content ourselves with lack of product knowing that nobody made an 'unfair' dollar? Or do we let price gouging happen, knowing it'll result in better product availability and reduce hoarding?

Sounds pretty helpful:

> The trial was so successful that it was halted early — given the findings, it was no longer ethical to keep adding patients to the control group. While 29 percent of patients in the control group (who were treated, when eligible, with alteplase, a type of tPA, alone) survived with at least a partial recovery of their deficits and were able to reclaim their independence, 53 percent of patients who received EVT saw the same positive outcomes. And while 19 percent of the control patients died, just 10.4 percent of the EVT patients did. Given that medical progress is often seen in decimal-point increments, these were staggering numbers.
That you can mix ports and pkg is a big deal. 99% of the time the default binary pkg is good enough, but that last 1% I can get the exact options I want.

I haven't used IPv6 with pkg though. (stupid ISPs).
I also argue it's easier than closing/opening a single store. If that is true, it must be true it's easier than closing all the stores. Weird indictment, why wouldn't you attack the stronger and harder to defend of my arguments which was the single store?
