And yet, data from 3300 drivers disagrees with your physics. What’s more likely: the data is wrong or the model is flawed?

My iPhone can send me alerts that I’m going to be late to work based on its tracking of my daily commute and you’re telling me that a machine that is constantly connected to a GPS network, sending data back to home base, and (almost?) capab

I agree we are making a similar point. My original post had a long rant about Asians only being minorities when it benefits someone's argument (on the left or right) but I deleted it before posting. Suffice to say that there is a lon

You can think it's idiosyncratic, but I can assure you (both as an Asian and as someone who knows quite a few Asians) that many (maybe the majority of) Asians whose views on race-based treatment/preferences have changed were drive

Certainly, specific demographics can vary by school. But the OP said that enrollment of MINORITIES plummeted in the California university SYSTEM. Asians are minorities. There are more schools than UCLA and Cal. Moreover, we can examine the

Between the unprecedented amount of money that was injected into the economy, the PPP loans, and the low interest rates, we’ve seen one of the largest transfers of wealth ever. The coming inflation will certainly cement the growing class di

You asked if I had anything to back up my claim that “Lina Khan and the FTC have been brazenly bought and sold by a foreign company and weaponized against US consumers.” I provided my evidence: their actions to date supporting foreign power

Well if we can’t agree that the FTC’s position in this case is blatantly pro-foreign-monopolist at the expense of domestic consumers then I guess we’re sort of at an impasse. You seem to be asking me for a source from the FTC saying that th

You’ve moved beyond this specific acquisition and are now talking in generalities. I don’t agree with your post; however, I would note that the situation at issue here in the Microsoft case is actually very similar to your hypothetical. Act

The evidence presented at trial showed that this vertical (not horizontal) acquisition would increase competition in the market. If antitrust laws were based on the conception of monopolization you seem to be suggesting then any acquisition

Good point. Knowingly, too. How much do you think we should fine these people?

Who said anything about slight? Assume your average commute is 1 hour each way. According to most HN users, the average dev can’t do more than 3-4 hours of “intense focus” work per day. Instead of paying you for “10” hours of being in the o

Careful with this kind of demand. It’s possible that companies may pay the office workers their increased rate simply by reducing pay to remote workers.

This is a distinction that JD holders who have not passed the bar have tried to push. It is not true and holding yourself out as a lawyer without a license is the unlicensed practice of law. The public does not recognize the distinction and

Well they also have to pass the bar and get licensed by a state or territory. Until then they’re just a JD holder. I think it’s flipped for doctors (which is where the original joke comes from?) and an MD isn’t awarded until licensure is co

So you’re saying that contributions, which are paid for by the employer, result in predictable and proportional payouts after some vesting period. I see. So why shouldn’t it be considered a part of total compensation? The rest of the benefi

by abduhl 3y ago
Why is the implication misleading? Because there’s a vest period on their total compensation? Isn’t it standard to quote total comp as salary plus equity even if the equity takes years to vest? Why have it be different for a city employee?

It’s a lot. “Extraordinary efforts” or something like that is the test before an undue burden is met. But like all good legal answers, the specific answer is that “it depends.”

Correct, but there is a bit of an unstated threat any time you do this to one of your own witnesses where the witness may give testimony that is not as persuasive to your version of events as you’d like. “The car was blue.” versus “Well it

What do you mean you can’t have a time card? You aren’t paid based on it usually, but you most certainly can track your hours. This is standard in any company that bills out their employees’ services hourly (lawyers, consultants, engineers,
