Considering the book was written in 1967, that is a strikingly insightful observation. Taken in modern terms - “soft skills” (which were valued and expected in women, and not valued if not actively discouraged in men) are often at least as

Note that I can’t see the article because of the paywall. > The proposal here is about people with 8+ figures in personal wealth. That's not the typical small family business. Depending on how it’s set up, “personal wealth” includes

I suspect we’re confusing two or more concepts here - publicly traded companies versus corporations with a single majority shareholder, and perhaps more, like small and multi-generational family businesses. In most of those circumstances, “

That’s actually fairly “cheap”, if it’s covering more than one person. For a brief period I lived in Virginia and had no medical coverage through my employer. The legal minimum coverage was $1,400 / month for my family of four... and i

There is no generally “business license” in Arkansas. Some municipalities require them (but have very limited means of enforcing that requirement), and some specific occupations require licensure, but unless you fall under one of those narr

Citation, please. No situation readily come to mind where an attacker could gain access to env vars but would not also have access to any other means of persistence.

I was explicitly not taking a position on the action itself. I’m honestly interested to see how this might open a company to litigation.

Serious question - since Ohanian has publicly stated that he urged the board to replace him with black candidate, is there a possibility that could face an EEOC charge? Perhaps this doesn’t apply, as there may not be “applicants” depending

I admit I hadn’t read your comment when I posted a sibling to it. I agree with you. I think successful healthcare tech companies go through a growth stage first where the key is a solid basis in the healthcare field. Engineering experience

I’ve worked at three healthcare startups so far, and have researched dozens to decide if they were somewhere I wanted to work. My intuition is that healthcare is a field that is fundamentally at odds with the tech community mantra of “move

That's... silly. I carry a gun, too, but I don't go around arbitrarily forcing my will on others. The difference is "qualified immunity", not weaponry.

FWIW, even in the most far-right audiences I know of, I don't recall a single instance of people taking issue with the "rioters'" reactions against the police force. I see a focus on the looting and destruction of privat

I'm not convinced that it is a problem than can be solved. Please don't mistake that for advocacy that we do nothing, because that is not at all my intention.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think anyone is arguing that the present state of things is optimal. The approach I’ve taken in the past to these issues is to simply treat people as people worthy of fair treatment, do what I can personally to

I'm fairly sure it can. It's been years - almost a decade, now! - since I've had to use Excel for anything productive, but I vividly recall using VLOOKUP to create what were effectively views from a SQL perspective.

For what it’s worth, I’ve encountered right-skewed articles many times in the past. They seem to be on less popular topics, but they absolutely exist.

No they don’t. The 14th gives consequences for disenfranchisement, and the 15th restricts the reasons someone may be disenfranchised. There’s also the 14th’s “Privileges and Immunities” clause, but that has been weakened greatly through ca

How so? I would argue that because government is predicated on force, a vote is nothing more than an act of delegation - asking others to use force on your behalf. Less complex would be the legal argument, though: in the US, personal posses
