> Receiving government assistance? Some kinds are taxable, some aren’t. One would think that the government should know what government assistance you're getting. In any case, taxable benefits get reported to the IRS automatically

Redis had (may still have?) a billboard on the 101 saying something along the lines of, "my boss really wants to you know we're an AI company", which I thought was pretty funny. Hope this bubble pops soon and we can go back

Stating my bias up front, I've been using Linux since Windows Vista, and I'm a fan. That said, I have experienced the same things you did whenever I needed to run Wine for... well, anything. It was clunky as hell. You should abs

Not quite the thing you're describing, but I saw this demoed recently and thought it was pretty cool: The AI function in Google Sheets[1]. Call Gemini with the context of individual cells and have it respond in the same cell. Take a

Sure, and I'm not flagging your post or anything here. Society has the opportunity, but not the obligation.

Arguably Americans voted for all of that, though. It was laid out in a document that was public years in advance.

No, the government already has almost all of your information every year from the start. Every time you get a W-2, a copy is sent to the IRS. Same with the vast majority of most tax forms. That why, if you lose any of your forms (at le

Eh, I see the language "urges" in there regarding putting it into force. It would still need to pass Congress etc. and my guess is that such a provision would face massive domestic pushback.

I mean, "Apple refuses to hand over private data to government at cost of UK business" is a pretty good headline.

This sounds like they were using the "tap a button on your device" 2FA method (see https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7026266 ). Not sure of the details as to how they got to that page in the fir

To be fair, in Steven Colbert's case, he definitely was playing a character on The Colbert Report . A ridiculously conservative one that asked guests repeatedly if George W. Bush was a great president, or the greatest president.

In Ontario, access to these programs was gated by an IQ test given to all students based on the outcome of a standardized test (this was ~30 years ago, no idea what they do today). I'm not saying it was perfectly objective or equitabl

I'd imagine anyone with claustrophobia would struggle with the last couple levels as well since they're essentially a battle against the screen crushing you.

They don't have to go to court, they'll just send you to collections and report it on your credit.

Great story, but you should be careful with this method if you care about your credit. They are arguably within their rights to report this to the credit agencies as an unpaid debt and send it to collections, including the cancellation fee

Does the FTC actually have the power to set rules like this effectively now that Chevron deference isn't a thing? I'd imagine e.g. the New York Times, among others, will quickly sue to stop this, no?

Expect to see the same story being said while actually being used as a cover for replacing expensive workers (e.g. anyone in the US) with cheaper workers. Wall Street is OK with this.

As I understand it, WARN requires either two months of notice or two months of severance, to include benefits during that period (based on https://lipskylowe.com/what-is-the-worker-adjustment-and-ret... ). It's not nea

That would be great, and if enforced well will make gyms in particular wake up and take notice.

Point of clarification: I've used SQL almost my entire development career, with multiple RDBMS engines, I've simply never looked at a book solely on SQL.

Pretty senior developer here (manager now, actually) but I'm realizing that other than college, I haven't really picked up a book on SQL. What would you recommend?

There are many reasons that startups tend to have young employees. As someone in a similar place in my life, I'd never take a job like that either.

Without commenting on Google[1], I think this sort of thing is true in the short term but less true in the long term. I expect that, were Chrome to ban ad blockers, technical folks will start to teach non-technical folks in their orbit how
